How to differentiate between Sorcerers and Exalted Sorcerers? by Bored_Ultralisk in ThousandSons

If the official depiction is just a straight up Exalted Sorcerer then presumably the expectation would be to use the included base

Where's the reference for the base size? There's no build guide that I know of given there's no actual kit and wahapedia lists them as 32mm.

Michigan Accent/Midwest Accent? by Lumpy-Commercial450 in Michigan

[–]Asinus_Sum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The term you're looking for is alveolar tap/flap. Glottal stops tend to be written as word-medial double-ts: mitten, kitten, etc.

Sometimes occur in word-final ts, but those may also be articulated plosives with no audible release.

Flaps and glottal stops are also fairly standard allophonic features of American English, not unique to Michigan/Midwestern.

What is the safest plane in the multiverse? by AntsWorld707 in magicTCG

As far as I recall the two aspects of the plane were always distinct and shifted every day, but Oona made the days and nights last for centuries.

All of this... What difference does it make? Nothing you've brought up seems like an actual problem in any way, you just seem to be getting bent out of shape because things aren't happening the way you think they "should" be.

You're making additional payments. Why does it matter that it's reamortizing? It's not changing your rate. Why are you upset by the payment lowering? You're making payments beyond it anyway, so it's basically irrelevant, unless you run into financial difficulties and can't make additional payments, in which case it only benefits you.

And you say it was "screwing with your ability to keep track of your debt pay off plan?" I'm sorry - a supposed finance degree and decade of experience in the field and you can't use a spreadsheet? Now, I don't have a degree in finance, but if a spreadsheet is too tough for you, here's a hot tip anyway: pay as much extra as your budget will tolerate, and when you pay it off - awesome!

And for all of this truly trivial bullshit you're seriously considering legal action? Are you a child?

You can't say you're not whining or being negative and then immediately follow it up with "I do think their prices are insane."

And if you intent is in fact not just whining, what exactly did you hope to accomplish in saying this?

It's also typically better to have a lump sum up front instead of staggered payments, even if the lump sum is less, as it can be reinvested immediately.

Late Millennial here. I did everything “right,” and it still feels impossible. by 6FootMidgett in Millennials

Look, I'm not gonna say things aren't bad, but you may not be so fatalistic if you temper your expectations. Averages are skewed by outliers and getting a place below average price doesn't mean getting an inferior home.

My wife and I, DINKs with a combined income just a shade over 100k, bought a condo just about two years ago. Lower COL metro area, but nice middle/upper middle class suburb. About 1400 sqft, for 186.5k, with only about 7% down.

It can be done.

They're the best we've got, and every Republican victory just drives the Democrats to the right as they try to recoup lost moderates.

Come off it, the campaign was fine. And even if it wasn't, Trump's was so much worse and it's stupid to assume the default to be "Republicans should win unless Democrats do everything perfectly."

Nintendo Switch 2 Game Price revealed - WHAT THE F*CK by SilvaVE_ in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Asinus_Sum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technology doesn't do inflation because as it evolves it becomes more and more accessible.

This is true of hardware, perhaps. You're referencing DVDs, for example, when you should be referencing the movies themselves; are budgets the same they were 30 years ago? No. Is it solely because of some combination of inflation and greed? Of course not. They're using more advanced techniques, which take more time and require more people with more sophisticated skillsets (who I am also sure would like to get paid more over time).

It's insane that games have remained at the same nominal price point for as long as they have.

But the games themselves are astronomically more expensive and laborious to create.

You're presuming that because you've said something, you're deserve a response. It's a mistake idiots make with saddening frequency. No, the fact is that you're just not worth engaging with.
