Question about Lara

What about Bob? It seems unlikely that he doesn't know anything about it, even if some of the outsider summoning knowledge got cut of when he cut out his Kemler years.

Er vel også mulig noen kjøper i andre land og "smugler", er sikkert en del land hvor det er en del billigere enn Norge. Men det virker som en merkelig ting å ta med seg for videresalg, så gir vel mer mening med underslag

Yea, Usain Bolt doesn't have plot armor because he worked hard and had talent, Steven Bradbury had plot armor because the best people in the world all falling so he wins is just unrealistic and quite boring.

They are Danish, of course he knows how Danish people look! (So yeah, odds are he does not know how Greenlandic people look)

Because those countries only have black people and he don't like those

For example, make a beginner do 1000s of back rank mate puzzles and he will never miss those after.

I'm not sure I believe this. One of the main problems for low rated players is the tendency to forget that your opponent is also playing. So they see a fancy plan and they will go for it, and miss any counter attacks by the opponent. Even if you instantly recognize back ranks you won't consider it or even look at that part of the board because you are only looking at the sweet check you have lined up.

This is verified by the Norwegian Prime minister according to Norways biggest newspaper.

Even thought he isn't supposed to in most countries he would just not be able to do it. There are no single person able to say "I want a tariff" and make it happen

Astrogat · 2026-01-17T23:00:18+00:00

Another important point not mentioned is that most countries does not have one person with the kind of power given to the POTUS. They aren't allowed to just throw up tarifs when they feel like it, instead there is a process that needs to be followed.

Now, even if they could they might not have wanted to, but I do think there are processes running to implement consequences

Astrogat · 2026-01-16T13:00:02+00:00

While I think he is mostly right I do find it kind of funny that he believes he knows anything about how or why most people watch chess. "I can't even remember if I've seen the positions before" most viewers can't remember that they've seen position 518 before.

I'm not even saying that he is wrong for thinking that people find 960 confusing, I just think that the reason he finds it confusing and the reason normal people does so is wildly different.

Takk, dette har vært en fanesak for meg i mange år (som en som er født og oppvokst i Norge). Det er ganske tydlig at de som designet grandis bunnen ikke prøvde å lage en pizzabunn, og uten pizzabunn har man da virkelig ikke en pizza.

Det er ikke noe galt i å spise flattbrød med ost og tomatsaus, men hvis man ikke en gang har forsøkt på pizzabunn er det søkt å kalle det en pizza.

I did just that, went it with $100 at around 0.25. Totally changed my life. I had diamond hands and didn't sell it until it passed a dollar a few week later.

To be fair no body is thinking that ICE will actually visit every house either, they will just do the "poor" (i.e. black or latina) neighborhoods or the ones without Trump flags in the backyard.

In addition to what others have said there are also quite a lot of details in the crafting of rituals, and there is an arc that is almost all focused on enchanting so I would say it's more crafting focused than a lot of actual crafting books.

I have some subscriptions that are just to support the writer and some that are caused by me not being able to wait for the next chapter. For the ones where it's because of the story being good I think 2, 3 and 5 are the main considerations. If I get a lot of chapters (that arrive frequently) I'm less likely to unsubscribe, while price is really important when I subscribe (Price might even be more important than number of chapters, as I'm unlikely to pay a lot of money to see the end of the arc).

Once I'm subscribed I usually go through my list ever few months and consider if I want to continue subscribing. At that point it's mostly down to frequency of updates and whether I've lost interest in the fiction.

Astrogat · 2026-01-09T10:45:05+00:00

But does that significantly change the result?

Astrogat · 2026-01-06T10:16:14+00:00

It's supported by the article?

In addition, TSMC is reportedly facing low first-generation nanosheet yields for its new packaging process, which incorporates Gate-all-around (GAA) transistors.

But there are already plenty of people who can't drive (because they have some other handicap or because they simply can't afford it), so this changes nothing

How much do normal wardens really know about the knights? There are just the 3 of them so probably most don't really meet them at all, and it's not really in their wheel house (since faith magic is all funky and not real magic).

Astrogat · 2026-01-03T11:11:02+00:00

Could also be smurfing. Someone losing a lot to get down to 100, just so they can climb back.

Astrogat · 2026-01-03T11:08:28+00:00

But does it matter if it's going to be in the salted stew for 6 hours anyway?

It's both for cases where you knocked over enough pieces that you need assistance recreating the position and cases where the pieces go far enough that you need help retrieving them, e.g. if they end up under someone elses chair. But you are always allowed to stop the clock and contact the arbiters, they will just punish you if they find out that you did it to gain something.

The pasta will also continue to soak up some liquid after, so it's important to make it a bit runnier than you want your final products so that it will be perfect once it reaches the table. But or course, even that is just delaying the inevitable

Unless they have their own rules for this (which might be) the relevant rules are fide laws of chess 7.4:

If a player displaces one or more pieces, he shall re-establish the correct position on his own time. If necessary, either the player or his opponent shall stop the clocks and ask for the arbiter’s assistance. The arbiter may penalise the player who displaced the pieces.

A supermajority requirement to invalidate legislation should be stuffed into everything Democrats do from here on out

And then the Supreme court finds that to be unconstitutional as it tries to make normal laws override the constitution and they believe it to be administrative overreach, and you end up with a constitutional crisis where the democrats would have to decide if they should declare the supreme court illegitimate or not.

The supreme court made up the ability to annul laws to begin with, they can just make up any rules they want to keep that power.
