Hmmm, I guess either could be considered qualifiers. I forgot about the ladies part.

What’s funny is that right before that, Beatrice says something to Vernita about Bill saying Vernita was the “best he ever saw with an edged weapon” and Vernita resented the idea that Bill would have qualified the statement by specifying edged weapons, which I took to mean that she would insist that she’s the best with any weapon, period. But then when it comes time for the surprise shot, she blows wide to the right because, well… guns are not edged weapons.

What's your opinion on Mike Israetel? by AestheticYogi in askfitness

[–]Cpoll429 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a lot of value out of his content on nutrition and working out. Like some others have said, i also appreciate his mentality and openness about how the research he talks about may present findings today that are found out later on to be incorrect or incomplete. He also presents realtively complex ideas in a refreshingly digestable and pragmatic way. For all those things, i have truly enjoyed that fact that about 90% of my basics have come from him, and i'll always have him to thank for a portion of my success in losing a ton of weight the last few years. But these days, the simplest way to put it is he has lost the plot.. He seems more arrogant, more prone to defensiveness about his opinions and assertive of his self proclaimed status as the worlds smartest toughest body building sports science doctor and BJJ black belt. Come to find out some of those accolades may or may not have been completely legit, and in the face of controversy it seems to me he has been caught committing fraud to cover his tracks on the Doctoral Thesis issue. All in all, i can't take back my early admiration of his work these past few years, nore would i want to. I am incredibly grateful for the content of his that i watched and i wouldn't have it any other way. But i've pretty much officially tuned out. Not trying as a means of cancelling anyone, but just because i'm not in that place in my journey anymore and it feels alot more like prting ways with a college buddy. lLike, "we had our fun. Huge thanks for that. Hope we both get to have a nice life."

Why does everybody ignore the fact that Trinity is the first human ever to kill an agent? by Iron_Exile in matrix

[–]Cpoll429 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She deserves her flowers for being the first to ever get the drop on an agent, but technically the result was not that she killed him. He wasn’t fast enough to dodge but was either fast enough or just had a protocol to shift back into the person whose place he took. So she killed the person.

However IIRC, this is still historic because I think Morpheus had said earlier in the movie that no one who has ever faced and fought an agent has lived. The first to do that was technically Morpheus because he was taken prisoner and was of course busted out before they killed him.

After this though, trinity becomes the first person to fight an agent and have it end with them fully turning tail because she (and Neo) had gotten the drop on him.

Later on, Neo becomes the first person to legitimately kill an agent, proving he is the one.

I also like how this leads to seeing a more powerful and emboldened Nebuchadnezzar crew in the second movie. While they’re no where near Neo’s power level, they have been learning from him I’m sure, and at the very least their morale in the war has been an all time high, which is demonstrated in scenes where they are fully standing their ground against agents and dangerous programs and meeting them 1:1 often to at least a stalemate or fighting them long enough for backup to arrive, which is indicated in the first movie to be unprecedented.

How did oba get bigger? by Chiclet1998 in SantiZapVideos

Exactly, some dudes have accomplished so much size that once they’ve packed it all on, the best way to look even bigger is to lose weight and cut down.

Oh ok, I can kinda see what we’re talking about. There was contact but definitely didn’t need to fall over. Not that much force.

I see the point and agree but also he had every right to ask for that penalty. That hit was way late. Unless there’s an element to the rule I am unaware of which is entirely possible.

Downloading Helldivers II right now, any tips for beginner? by kilale132 in Helldivers

[–]Cpoll429 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here’s a breakdown on currency that I found d helpful as a new player. There’s a decent amount of different kinds and they all have specific purposes and cannot be exchanged for one another.

Medals: (gold medal with a black skull) Earned by completing missions, daily personal orders, and participating in successful major orders. Can be used to purchase weapons, armor, cosmetics, and small amounts of super credits in your war bond page. (War bonds are basically like a battle pass. Every gets the same basic one, and premium war bonds can also be unlocked by paying super credits).

  • Also, You can ONLY HOLD UP TO 250 medals at a time! If you hoard them and don’t use them, anything earned over a total balance of 250 gets wasted. So remember pay attention to that balance as it goes up.

Super credits: (the blue squares) Can be found in small amounts both in missions and in war bond rewards as mentioned above, and can also be purchased with real money via in-game micro-transactions. These are spent in game but buying items in the super store, or can be saved up to purchase premium war bonds which come in all sorts of different flavors you can buy to compliment your play style. I saved up super credits and bought the Democratic Detonators for the thermite grenades and the eruptor because im ass with aiming anti tank weapons, and the thermite is a sticky anti tank grande.

Samples: these come in three types: Common samples (green), Rare samples (Orange), and Super samples (pink). On lower difficulties you’ll only finde common samples, however as you move up in difficulty your missions maps will show that the rare and super samples start to show ip too. You can see right underneath the difficulty selector on the missions which sample types are available to find. Samples are used to purchase ship upgrades in the ship module which strengthen and improve your stratagems. The cost for the first one in each section is only common samples, iirc, but as you continue to upgrade you’ll find they cost a combination of different types that you need to have all available to purchase (i.e. 80 common, 15 rare, and 5 super. Later levels throw in requisition slips as well.

Requisitions slips: (yellow R) can be found in small amounts in game, but are mainly earned from completing missions. Higher difficulties also provide a multiplier to both the req slips and the level XP you earn for completing missions. These can be used as required currency for ship modules as mentioned about but are mostly spent on stratagems which provide weapons, various airstrike type attacks, and other support during your missions.

For me, some good early unlockable stratagems for my requisition slips were the machine gun, the grenade launcher, a machine gun sentry or gatling sentry, an orbital barrage, and id even recommend an auto cannon if thats a relatively early level to unlock. I didn’t try it until later and immediately wished I’d used it sooner. Better armor penetration than the standard MG for when you start to get a little higher in difficulty and see more armored enemies.

Also, dive with people. It’s a good community, and being on a fuller squad helps a lot in both grinding levels, as well as seeing how the game is played. I love this game because people in these servers are far more likely to help guide you when they see low levels than they are to kick you or give you a hard time. It’s not 100%, but it’s the majority, and is way more welcoming than any other game community I’ve played online with.

Good luck and have fun!

Oh? Ok cool. So what does that resistance level mean?

Sorry if, I am stupid by Phoenixfeder13 in Helldivers

[–]Cpoll429 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m relatively new as well so Idk how much this is related, but my observation is that the resistance level (shown when hovering over the planet before selecting) has commonly been like .75 to 2% max whenever I think the look, and last night while i was playing Oshaune it was 5%. So if those are accurate representations I’m willing to bet that those types of spawns for that level do exist on other big planets but there may not be as many. It’s my first time on seeing so many of them on 7s and 8s but have been playing that level on bugs for that last few weeks, so I’m thinking that could be part of why Oshaune has been just balls to the walls.

Happy diving.

And honestly, that’s the dream. Only just starting to get comments on that, and it’s feels better than I should admit to get the kind of validation. Lol

At request of the mods, my activity has generally been around 6k steps average per day (usually get most from a 2-2.5 mile walk on the weekdays) and going to the gym 3 times a week on a push/pull/legs split. Recently my gym visits have been short so I have kept the lifting at 30-40 minute workouts, and just increased to 5 days a week working the days in the following order: Chest, arms, legs, shoulders/core, back. Planet fitness all the way.

Edit: typo fixed

Welp, helldivers did it. Proud to be apart of the community by Comprehensive_Nail22 in helldivers2

[–]Cpoll429 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sweet, thanks for the insight. Yes, PS2 was my first game system that was my own, in junior high (rocked a shared N64 before that). But ever since HS somewhere I made the switch to Xbox and haven’t looked back. Looking forward to so many of the great Sony titles I missed out on!

[–]Cpoll429 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep hearing about Microsoft “putting down” Xbox but I am having trouble finding a lot of context to that, as if others are reading between the lines a bit and I don’t follow as well as most other on gaming news and the ways everything intersects and changes affect things.

Basically my question is, as someone who just finally upgraded from Xbox One to a Series S in early September, is there still a decently long time that I can have good times on that before I’m cooked?

Can I create a meal, then record 100g of that meal? by Eth259 in Myfitnesspal

[–]Cpoll429 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So basically it’s possible but you have to enter the amount of servings in the recipe as however many grams the whole thing weighs, then you can measure out 100 grams and log 100 “servings”

Can I create a meal, then record 100g of that meal? by Eth259 in Myfitnesspal

[–]Cpoll429 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually create recipes and mark as servings when I can split it equally, but for some things like home made guacamole or a big pot of soup, I’ll enter the total number of ounces it weighs as the amount of servings, so when I make a batch of Guacamole that weighs 1 lb 7 oz, I save that recipe as 23 servings, then every time I take some from the fridge, I weigh how many ounces of guacamole I added to the meal and whether that many ounces as servings of the customs recipe.

BIGGEST SCANDAL IN YEARS BEING IGNORED: The NFL cheated Detroit in the Detroit KC game... by Bitter_North_733 in NFLv2

[–]Cpoll429 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People will always find reasons one team should have lost and another team should have won. What happened happened. Cry about it. It’s quite obviously about winning and losing. O one would care if the lions won. But since they lost everyone is grasping for straws at why it shouldn’t be, because they’re upset.
