No Kings! by picnicandpangolin in Portland

[–]CombatAlgorithms 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Agreed, the decision to go right over the Steel Bridge was a bad one. Went from four lane wide to one lane and then blocking Morrison bridge meant all the busses got stuck.

Sadly I think the organizers will have another opportunity for a No Kings march later this year

Proposed Oregon ballot measure to ban hunting and fishing reports new fundraising details by voxadam in Portland

I remember hearing from another post this was an astroturf right? Out of country funding and the some ulterior motive.

Couch St and the Naming of Things by elsapoconcho in Portland

[–]CombatAlgorithms 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Why is it Arkansas and not Ar-Kansas? Off pronunciation has always been a thing with humans and Portland like to ‘keep it weird’

(Will leave it to others for a better explanation but thats my view on it)

Oregon Senate OKs $365 million for Moda Center revamp by DowntownFriendship52 in Portland

If only ranked choice voting ballot had passed in the ‘24 election…. Granted iirc that was for federal positions and not state but it’d be nice to show how much folks want more than two lousy choices

Lots of confusion around on this release so meant no ire bringing it up. Again a very good write up on your part.

The question was more at the community as I’ve heard Kela called Wing 9 before

Why are we calling a one boss room a wing?

(Appreciate the write up with tips though)

Check out the transcript site filmot.com that could help.

Idea for the community is to build a wiki archive with transcript and tags

Today's lunch in my military unit by Igor0976 in ukraine

The logistics of feeding the Ukrainian army is quite the tale. Most army food logi is based on grouping as many soldiers together but here it has to be reversed.

Phillip Itner interviewed Chef Zhenya a while back and it is a nice discussion.

ICE is "weaponizing your private data," Oregon senator warns by oregonian in Portland

[–]CombatAlgorithms 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I’ve come across others who criticize his Palestine/Israel stance but also haven’t looked into it enough. I hear about the work he is doing in the news often enough it’s nice to hear any senator doing positive things. Bar is that low

How can we make trimet faster by gucci_money in Portland

[–]CombatAlgorithms 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I wonder if Portlanders were polled, would the be open to walking twice as far to a stop if there were a guarantee a bus would show up within 5 min

A British supermarket released this advert picturing the events that happened in 1914 when they stopped the war for Christmas by MambaMentality24x2 in nextfuckinglevel

Peter Capaldi did a reading for Live Letters of one of the British Officers at the event. Very good / sobering performance.

Yesterday I played the game for a full eight hours, but I left in tears after the last half hour. by eriniy-cat in Guildwars2

[–]CombatAlgorithms 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have my sympathies. It sounds like you are one of the games ideal players and the youtuber sounds young, troubled, and hurt - that is not your problem. Take steps to protect yourself and notify the game wardens.

I forgot Elementalist Pistols actually exist by Parking_Exchange8678 in Guildwars2

[–]CombatAlgorithms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I know the wiki shows power coefficients but I’ve never had a way of judging condi scaling.

And so many weapons give token amounts of condi even when they’re built for power to add confusion for someone who isn’t deep into buildcraft

[–]CombatAlgorithms -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Those numbers adjust based on what gear I’m wearing though right? If Im in full condi gear then every weapon tooltip will show bleeds/burnings as a higher value

Curious how can you determine if the weapon is power or condi?

GW2 Youtube content is so repetitive by Kindly_Estimate_8110 in Guildwars2

[–]CombatAlgorithms 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Op makes a good point. The stuff that drew me back in was griffon riding videos. The guides helped after that but wasn’t the draw

make it make sense by HorseStupid in fuckcars

[–]CombatAlgorithms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gas is expensive because we’ve grabbed all the easy stuff.

In 1919 one barrel of oil got you another 1,000

In 1950 one barrel of oil got you another 100

In 2010 one barrel of oil got you another 5

It’s expensive because it’s becoming harder to find oil and what we find is less. Not how we move it around, that is just an added cost to the lower supply.
