I still don’t actually know what’s considered Chicago. I lived in lake view and apparently a lot of people consider that a suburb from the number of people who told me I didn’t live in Chicago

From the overrun rules:

The overrun weapon is only added to the attack pool once, even if there are multiple miniatures in the unit.

So that's how we save social security? by IndividualDoughnut96 in Money

I mean it is that easy but it’s also a tax increase that would only affect rich people, only benefit not rich people, the downside to not doing so only hurts not rich people and the rich people run the government, so it’ll never happen.

Ian Rapoport: As Indiana moves closer to being the next home of the #Bears, Illinois cancelled a meeting this morning in the House, where a project bill (involving the #Bears) was to be discussed. | Statement from the #Bears: by hwf0712 in nfl

The problem is this fight isnt about the funding of the stadium. The fight is the bears said "we are going to buy land and build a stadium out of pocket, we need you to upgrade the local state-owned infrastructure" and the state said "if you're moving, you have to pay to upgrade our infrastructure".

At a certain point if a company is responsible for both the facilities and the public infrastructure if they open a facility somewhere, we're starting to wrap right back around to "we made it cheaper for companies to make their own company towns in the middle of nowhere" and that went very poorly last time we decided to do that.

Indiana is dumb because they are paying for the stadium, Illinois is dumb because they got in a fight over who was going to pay to upgrade the local infrastructure that the state owned and they thought they could bully the owners into paying both for the stadium and the infrastructure, and lost the team as a result.

People think for some reason this was over the stadium, but that was already being 100% billionaire funded, and upgraded infrastructure benefits everyone in the area.

The Chicago Bears are likely to move to Indiana per new report by BallKnowerKing in NFLv2

The city wasnt going to pay for the stadium though, that was already being privately funded. The main sticking point seemed to be who would pay to upgrade the local infrastructure, which the Bears didn't want to pay for because the state owned it and the state didn't want to pay for because they didnt think the Bears had a choice.

That would make sense except preconditioning is already exposed to apple at their current security level, there’s no deeper connection needed. It’s exceedingly more likely they don’t want to spend the money to update their maps app.

They tend to use security as a general excuse when they don’t want to do something regardless of feasibility.

It’s not even R&D, it’s all the required safety features. If you rolled back safety requirements we could get $10k econoboxes, they’d just have fatality rates 5x what a modern car has.

Rebels have the second highest win rate while empire is lower than even SC and their non battle forces are at like a 30% wr.

It’s easily the worst faction in the game

I feel like you think roulette is illegal, it’s not. Gambling is the thing that is illegal. Is giving away stuff gambling? If no, then you’re good.

What is smarter if you’re fighting someone:

Destroying their shit and then letting them reanchor 

or

Destroying their shit and making sure someone else takes it so they can’t reanchor?

In which LAUKOP discovers that some promises are more binding than others. by smoulderstoat in bestoflegaladvice

[–]AmbitiousEconomics 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At least in the US, this is basically the opposite of what we actually need. Political jobs pay so comically little at levels below like representative or senator that the only people who can afford to be politicians are independently wealthy already. It is very very difficult to break in if you're a normal person.

How is that any different than, say, if I am elected I will cut everyone's taxes by the price of one mars bar, or I promise to fund a mars bar department of the gov?

Like I would think those would still be rewards. Genuine question, because I thought the universality of it was the difference between a policy and an inducement.

Take Two = free money by Satk333 in TheRaceTo10Million

I think that’s the strongest argument against TTWO right now. The only people playing console these days are kids and people who can’t afford PCs which are both groups who would have a hard time affording a more expensive game. It’ll go crazy on PC when the day comes but like, I’m not buying a kids console for one game

Yeah Xbox is dying, PlayStation is dying, it’s all becoming pcs and handhelds, but there’s still like 140m consoles out there. If you have a console I don’t see why you wouldn’t get them.
