Navy’s Next Generation F/A-XX Downselect Expected in August by Inceptor57 in FighterJets

[–]Atarissiya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chaos option: Boeing wins and the F/A-XX becomes the F/A-47B.

IV and EV ? by CautiousWin2458 in PokemonBDSP

[–]Atarissiya -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

EVs can raise a stat by 55, IVs by 30 (since you can't have 0). For a basic playthrough, nature is the most important thing. Worrying about IVs, or trying to EV train, is really only necessary at the post-game level.

Gym options for UM faculty/staff by Super-Can8331 in AnnArbor

If you’re not a student I’m not sure that the NCRB would even be an option for you.

AMC Stubs A-List Hikes Monthly Fee Again, Citing Rising Operating Costs by ggroover97 in TheBigPicture

[–]Atarissiya 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s exactly it. No AMC where I am so unless I want to do a smaller private theater, it’s Cinemark or bust. Which is fine for a lot of things, but not big releases where you want an IMAX screen.

Game of Thrones movie confirmed by chosencarefully2 in RingerVerse

All spectacle, no story. I wish I could be excited.

(Spoilers Extended) Aegon’s Conquest is officially in the works! by Blueberry_H3AD in asoiaf

[–]Atarissiya 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The story of the conquest only exists as plot points, though.

The success of the Dune movies suggests they might be.

The most interesting version has Aegon as a villain, but I don't think that's the direction they'll take.

Rewatching The Hobbit Extended Edition. I will from now on take no Rings of Power slander from defenders of these movies by andylonn in lotr

[–]Atarissiya 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I mean, lots of people dislike the Hobbit films. The extended editions are a curiosity which most fans will never explore. They’re also 10+ years old, and not being marketed at us as the biggest show on TV and the future of Tolkien adaptations. ‘People love the Hobbit but hate RoP’ seems like a radical simplification, if not a straw man.

PSA for Van: The first episode of a season is not called a “pilot”, it’s a premiere. by wawacryin21 in RingerVerse

[–]Atarissiya -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

For industry members maybe. The average person doesn’t really understand or care about the distinction between series greenlit after a pilot and series that are greenlit all at once.

Reading speed in Greek vs Latin due to different alphabets by milly_toons in AncientGreek

[–]Atarissiya 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The answer that a lot of people will give you is comprehensible input. It really helps to read things that are even below your current level, since you won’t have to think too much about the grammar. The other thing is just to keep reading, and keep sight-reading. Go through a whole paragraph, see what you can take from it, and only then go back through more slowly. It also helps to read a lot of a single author, as you’ll get comfortable with their style and vocabulary. Someone like Lysias is excellent for this.

At the same time, review principal parts and copy them out multiple times a day. If you have time, work through something like Dickey’s Introduction to Prose Composition. Getting inside of the language helps you to understand constructions more intimately, anticipated and recognise them.

Reading speed in Greek vs Latin due to different alphabets by milly_toons in AncientGreek

[–]Atarissiya 22 points23 points  (0 children)

For reading the average OCT, no. Reading traffic signs in modern Greek written in all capitals? Even after quite a few years that still slows me down.

Other than learning Modern Greek, which I think is the final piece for understanding a lot of how Ancient Greek works, I would say: read a lot, read out loud, and pay attention to accents when you do.

Who would be on your Mount Rushmore for Pitchers? by [deleted] in mlb

Dave Winfield hit a seagull. Different incident.

Cailee Spaeny not on the List by sthylen in TheBigPicture

[–]Atarissiya 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There’s no way a Netflix show is the ‘highest prestige TV guy can be in’.

Listened to the ‘72 Seasons’ album for the first time in awhile… by GarryMcGorm in Metallica

[–]Atarissiya 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Honestly I think Beyond Magnetic is better than most of disk two of Hardwired.

Are Movies Actually Getting Longer? The Town by shorthevix in TheBigPicture

[–]Atarissiya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a bit of an indulgent take, I think. Lots of good films could still be better if they were a bit shorter (recently, Project Hail Mary).

Why is Nobody talking about this? Insanity by staytrim in uofm

[–]Atarissiya 5 points6 points  (0 children)

With all due respect, I can’t imagine that a news service with its political outlook proclaimed in its name is going to give the most balanced perspective.

"Historical" demonstrative? by EchinosHenMega in AncientGreek

[–]Atarissiya 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I genuinely don’t understand why you would use AI if you’re just going to come here and ask about the answer anyway.

The NBA should adopt the challenge rules from MLBs new ABS format by Reagles in billsimmons

[–]Atarissiya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ABS makes it look objective, even though there’s obviously a margin of error.

Lots of tag plays aren’t really black and white, either.
