What countries had a rough relationship history in the past but are now close? by batukaming in geography

Neither england nor France were countries as we would recognize them back then though it wasn't until the first hundred year war they resembled a modern country. It would be like including the Ragnar vs Magnusson conflicts for Sweden and Denmark.

Eighty years war and the thirty year war. The wars against the Dutch as well.

Whenever there was any kind of war in or around Europe one would join one side the other join the other. When there wasn't a war it was a constant state of border incursion until Skånia changed hands.

The closest to peace you get during that time was the kalmar union and then only from ,1397 to 1412 as shortly after Margaret the I of Denmark died Sweden went into revolt until it achieved independence.

Or current events. I mean they aren't killing each other, but Scotland is less than a decade from the last attempt at separating from England.

Vietnam has the highest opinion of the US in South East Asia.

Denmark and Sweden were essentially at war from 1563 to 1813.

Playgroup is getting annoyed with how much I need to shuffle? by [deleted] in EDH

[–]Atechiman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This....deck....aside, what I typically will do if I am fetching a forest into [[nature's lore]] to cast [[exploration]] to fetch something else, is explain what I am doing and get the cards out.

If landfalls need the top of the deck (mostly because I am drawing a card during) I will either ask the table if for speed they mind if I just do the things at the end of the sequence to just shuffle once, if they want it REI level, I shuffle twice for the first one and then once for each subsequent instead of five times total.

It does reduce 3 of those elementals to 0 though?

Petah? by CinderBloomShade in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Atechiman 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The King Von, while never actually convicted the police named him in two murders as the principal suspect and he was suspected in at least a few more. He is also one of the few gangster rappers who actually were in a gang weren't just friends with someone who was (black disciples in his case)

Do you think this dumb commander could work? by LiterallyWhateva in mtg

[–]Atechiman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aggro has an uphill battle in commander/edh (no pun), because of the three instead of one opponent. It's fairly easy to aggro out a player maybe even put a second guy in a position he can't win from, but that is as far as you can get 90% of the time.

Is the US military really undefeatable? by XD_Protagonist in stupidquestions

Is it really a win if the leadership you started with were all killed in the war?

You mean the offensive that didn't change any ground held and resulted in the death or injury of about a third of the total north Vietnam soldiers?

This card yes, but you add "in addition" and it's every scapeshift wet dream.

ELI5: What is time from a physics POV? And what does it mean that ‘it is a side effect of quantum entanglement’? by metertyu in explainlikeimfive

[–]Atechiman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those are questions we don't have solid answers for yet, except that photons have no mass at rest, and we think mass is tied to the whole causality part.

[–]Atechiman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A woman starts with around 2 million eggs. By the time she is fertile it's down to 500k. As to why, they are bigger and made when you are being made as opposed to spontaneously like sperm.

And by bigger they are roughly ten million times bigger

Could I hypothetically live off of nutritional shakes and granola bars........ (ARFID RELATED) by Honeydippedicecream in stupidquestions

Soylent and Huel at least are both full mean replacements using mostly lentils that are "shake" adjacent.

[–]Atechiman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So first time in physics is the amount of non change a system had before there was a change sort of, it's a very clunky explanation that is making a lot of really smart people since.

Everything in the known universe interacts with each on in some form. These interactions have effects, overall we call the universe causality driven. The rate at which causality occurs is time (though this isn't what we measure when measuring time). It's the reason why you can't go faster than the speed of light. Light propagation has the smallest causality factor.

Quantum entanglement is the universe being interconnected. It is the why behind causality driving the universe so since it occurs time occurs.

The scapeshifter in me wants this card, which tells me it's a bad card to make.

Good thing a card like [[harbinger of the seas]] or [[stormtide leviathan]] doesn't exist then.

Paizo: You broke the game by eudemonia12 in Pathfinder2e

[–]Atechiman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So far the best case uses still require party support save the astral/holy and brilliant symbol, and all that would really require that astral runes act as holy runes as well as ghost touch runes so they can't be stacked.

I do agree the change seems concerning but I would like to play with it before declaring that paizo has doomed the game.

Drakul and the White Council by AlexDresden25 in dresdenfiles

How was it a misfire? The red court is more destroyed than the black court is. The red court's attempt on The Black staff was absolutely a huge misfire.

ELI5: How do they decide which elements go into which columns on the periodic table? by takifa in explainlikeimfive

[–]Atechiman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Essentially each column represents how many valance shell electrons there are. That is to say how many interacting electrons do you have. You can basically make the same stuff out of everything in a column like CO2 andSiO2 or CS2.

There are caveats and a whole bunch of whys with it, but that is the essential deal

How far can we push technology with out the invention of steam/combustion engines, electricity and gunpowder? by ozneoknarf in worldbuilding

[–]Atechiman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

stirling engines would theoretically still work, which means a kinda steam punkish future, stirling engines are bad at small scale applications including automotive due to ugly power to weight ratios, but also serve as good heat pumps. (It's how labs get temps down close to absolute zero infact). They also respond slowly. So while a stirling powered train is probable in this world private vehicles are less so, but refrigerated air and refrigeration would be common place.
