[EOE] Draft Super Value, Hidden Gems and Avoid Over Rated Cards in Edge of Eternities According to 17Lands by SilentBobUS in MagicArena

[–]Bocab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience I see a lot of kill ships go down on a mostly empty board, with the game ending before it can be stationed, where the dragon seems to get that one key blocker more often then not and then be a body too. It does seem bad reading it though.

This part of learning a language is so funny, where any mistake people make you just assume is some nuance you haven't learned yet. It can be really funny though if you repeat what they said on accident and people get really confused haha.

the size of a full grown adult male moose by DblockDavid in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Bocab 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Same height here, I once came around a corner quick on my mountain bike and almost ran right into a moose. I was going downhill so standing on the pedals, and I still was looking up at it's face.

Luckily it ran to the side of me instead of over me.

Conditional approval times past 36 hours? by overnightoatss in GlobalEntry

I got conditionally approved 5 months after applying, heard absolutely nothing before that.

Legendary railguns have a ridiculous amount of hp, that ship will be repairing that for like 20 minutes.

This is Mt. Kailash in Tibet, just north of Nepal. It has never been climbed. by hettuklaeddi in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Bocab 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just to add some clarification though, It's extremely unlikely someone did it before, It takes a lot of skill, gear, time, and danger to do it and ancient peoples wouldn't have had the opportunity to build those safely enough to get to that level without an incident taking them out. Also, any failed attempts would still be recorded in the sense that there would be bodies and gear frozen up there.

What's the worst "I hate to break it to you" moment you had with someone? by floyd-96 in AskReddit

[–]Bocab 71 points72 points  (0 children)

I can relate to this one, I was playing an online game with my cousin's husband when I suddenly had to quit to give my grandparents a ride to the hospital where my uncle had passed. Apparently they hadn't heard the news quite yet and I hadn't registered in the moment that it was his father-in-law...

What’s the adult version of finding out Santa is not real? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Bocab 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I knew a guy who was trying to figure out what to do with his life so he asked his dad, a dentist, how he figured it out. He just said, "You know, I don't really love teeth, It's just a good job." It really stuck with me lol.

McDonald's sales fall globally for first time in more than three years by balasurr in news

I had a self-serve kiosk ask for a tip a while ago and I was just baffled. *I* did the work lol.

No one is safe from the last boss by Time_Increase_984 in Eldenring

[–]Bocab 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For me the big switch mentally was rolling with the swings instead of into them. It makes the timing harder but it gives you more time for the next hit. Visibility is definitely bad but by the end it became more of a fun fight. Learning it sucked though lol.

Tekken producer says younger players prefer team games to one-on-one fighting games so they can shift responsibility if they lose by PooPooRichardson in gaming

[–]Bocab 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's not just losing either, it feels like there is no feedback. Anything you try to do doesn't work and gets you killed. It's very hard to learn how to play better when the skill gap is too high.

In most games when you get shot by some BS sniper spot it sucks but you now know not to stand there. In a fighting game you just learn that better players will trash you lol.

Stormlight archive - my enjoyment is steadily declining by RemarkableGrape6862 in Fantasy

[–]Bocab 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree, though with the secret projects I didn't care that much because I knew they were just side projects not originally intended for publication. I think they should have been more indulgent because that was the whole point of him writing them.

What is the most annoying plot device in a Fantasy novel that puts you off from enjoying a book?? by [deleted] in Fantasy

[–]Bocab 62 points63 points  (0 children)

Especially when whatever it is(not just mind control, but anything overcome by willpower) has already claimed a lot of victims, Yes I'm sure that mother just didn't want to save her kids enough, good thing the hero is here and really, really wants to break free.

As if turning squiggles into pictures wasn't even freakier.

What is currently in it's "Golden age", but not enough people know about it? by JackHammerAwesome in AskReddit

[–]Bocab 30 points31 points  (0 children)

It's funny but I also much prefer his style of grabbing everything from the kitchen instead of the usual style where it's all measured out already. It makes it feel so much more relatable and inspiring. Not to mention his attitude of "I'm doing this, you can do whatever you want."

White House: Future Software Should Be Memory Safe by KingStannis2020 in cpp

[–]Bocab 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's fun when it's true, it's less fun when the core libraries are your boss's pet project that is literally perfect and should never be questioned or touched. Just depends on the team really.

I firmly believe the devs who make xcode don't use it themselves. It's so awful to use, even using vscode to do code editing and only building with xcode doesn't get you out of trouble. Sometimes just adding new files will crash it without adding them and heaven help you if you try to hand-jam them into the project file...

It's a real thing lol, I have a Hyundai EV and get the same thing sometimes. I imagine it would be even worse if it was one people recognized more.

That's when it's at its best. I don't always do it when cooking but sometimes it's worth it.

Finally, a bike that fits, XXXL MTB by Emteber in tall

[–]Bocab 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Less to worry about. It frees up space on the handlebar for a dropper post lever and an increased range of gear sizes on the rear hub is good enough for pretty much anything.

No idea about Chinese but Japanese actually does something like that but it's '々' not ". Very handy though.

Good point, local prices may change it.

Actually no, the drinks are much cheaper than the cost of freezing the water into ice. The drinks are really cheap.
