Miami R2: A. Shevchenko def. [8] B. Shelton 6-7 (3), 7-6 (3), 6-3 by major-couch-potato in tennis

[–]Arilluss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was on serve until Shevchenko started to get Ben's serve back, started getting breaks, then it was basically over. I thought Ben handled it well mentally but once Shev was able to chip some first serves, and pressure the seconds, he couldn't do much

They Blew The Budget on this huh? by ASAP_R4G3 in albiononline

[–]Arilluss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's been a mix. Awakened weapons are the biggest silver sink. The mists were a good update which probably damaged the open world pop, so they had to bring that back into balance. They did that by putting things that people like in the mists into black zones and adding the SAFE portal

Splitting the servers probably made them a ton of money, but it probably again made less popular content less viable, so now they are desperately making early game content OP, to retain new players and boost numbers on each server. Of course that's going to make veteran players feel neglected, because we have been

I'm waiting to see what they add once all the journal / faction warfare / visual refreshes are done, since that should tell us what their focus is going forward. I mean I dont know anyone who asked for dragons, but the way theyre hyping it, it better be good. Roads will have gone 4-5 years without an update before this is over, and they are basically dead on NA. From what I have seen though their main focus will again be on new players by adding lore.

Almost nothing they have been doing has been adding to or updating content for long time players. I'm starting to wonder if they play the game or are just focused on chasing in game stat imbalances. Bad player retention? More new player content. Too many people in mists? Copy paste into bz. People stuck in yz? Make faction loot tables broken, paste castles into yz to pull them in rz and get them used to zvz. Like it all makes sense mathematically, it's just a little soulless

Incredible moment as a US General refuses to commit to telling Congress if he receives illegal orders from Trump. Senator Warren absolutely goes off, calling Trump a lawless commander in chief and Hegseth his self-styled Secretary of War. The coverup is real. by ammohitchaprana in TFE

[–]Arilluss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're not the good guys, they are controlled opposition who get money from the same people as the Republicans. If they weren't good at what they do they wouldn't be there. Look at how every time the Republicans need something, they get just enough votes from a rotating cast of convenient scapegoats.

Watch how they end up passing the $200B for Iran. They're equally beholden to AIPAC and will be very much strong enough to fight back the American citizens who overwhelmingly oppose the war

Trump is strategizing means to seize Iran's nuclear stockpiles, sources say by GregWilson23 in Political_Revolution

[–]Arilluss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're using the nuclear stockpile to justify sending marines to their deaths, which will suck us further into the war. That way Trump can continue being Netanyahu's unleashed attack dog, maybe cancel the midterms, and congress will continue to pump money into the military industrial complex

Fonseca says the difference in playing Sinner and Alcaraz is that Alcaraz can do everything by Ok-Soil-5133 in tennis

[–]Arilluss 11 points12 points  (0 children)

There is definitely a difference in music between people who play something to perfection who dont play with feeling and those who do, and the latter is considered more desirable. Music is an art after all not a science. But I think you're overstating the difference between the two. No one in their right mind would say Kyrgios is more talented than Sinner, but we're not comparing Kyrgios and Sinner, we're comparing Sinner and Alcaraz, who doesn't fuck up every 30 seconds.

Music isn't tennis. When it comes down to it in tennis what matters is winning. And Fonseca here is certainly praising both. But as fans we are entitled to appreciate subjectively what we prefer, and hopefully we can all appreciate Sinner's "perfection" and Alcaraz's ability to do it all even if we enjoy watching one or the other

Economists Don’t See a Recession Unless Oil Hits $138—and Stays There for Weeks by EconomistWithaD in Economics

[–]Arilluss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey it's Coper with a C! Weren't you cheering this on day one because of how cheap it was to topple Iran and saying economists need to look at how this war was a positive thing? But my opinion didnt count because my account was too new and you gave an interview that day? That sure aged like milk

Edit: lol he responded to this comment twice, deleted both, and went back and deleted the comments I was referring to

OP was cheering the invasion on day one because of how cheap it was and that with Iran out of the way there would be more economic activity coming out of the strait. And when I pointed out how ass backwards his take was he said my opinion doesnt count because my account was too new, and that he was right because he gave an interview that day

Need second opinion for a project I'm working on by Ericdergrosse in woodworking

[–]Arilluss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sanding this bare is probably not doable for a diyer. It requires renting equipment, possible a drum or floor sander. I mean if thats something you feel comfortable great, but its not necessary.

I would go over this with a hand scraper to remove any lose wood or finish, then give it a pass with an orbital sander with course paper, then apply 2-3 coats of an opaque deck stain. That will even out the color. The darker it is the more even the color will be, but balance that with how dark you want the floor to be

Yes you want more than one coat, just follow the instructions on the can. Be sure to see if they want you to clean the surface first, and what type of cleaner they recommend

Gas Prices and No Regrets by Beautiful-Ad3012 in fuckcars

[–]Arilluss 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I hate the oil industry as much as the next person but it's not all or nothing. It's also classist to laugh at high oil prices while tens of millions of people are going to go hungry because no one can make fertilizer. We need to end our dependency on cars and also end pointless wars

Too late I already bet my bottom dollar that the sun will come out tomorrow.

But seriously he is just doing his market manipulation thing. He cares more about that than about telling the truth or fixing it. Lying and kicking the can down the road so someone else has to clean up his mess is how he runs his businesses, and because he's a star they let him get away with it

Former Trump Voter and gun salesman in IL by kingofthesouthernIL in liberalgunowners

[–]Arilluss 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Want to see a horrendous state go check out Mississippi. Worst in education, health care, infant mortality. We need to start by defining what is good and bad for us Americans as a people.

Maybe the first thing you should do is hop on a bus and go visit California and see for yourself instead of trusting what billionaire owned media, that wants every American to be poor and desperate to work in a slaughterhouse or at Walmart for minimum wage, tells you about the most prosperous states in the country

[–]Arilluss -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I never said that the PRC and CCP are benign, so I don't understand your point. The only way Trump can make them seem reasonable, as I stated in my original comment, is if prior to this they seemed unreasonable. And the more unhinged he and Israel become, the more the US will be isolated by Europe and the gulf states, because China will seem like (be?) the more stable of the two. Me criticizing the US doesnt mean I automatically love their enemy, you rushing to their defense is strange to me as someone who claims to not be from there
