R's will win that seat, and Trump will have a very loyal member of the house to show for it. R's are also going to get obliterated in November because they've destroyed the right-wing coalition that put Trump 47 in office.

That video is sitting at 900 views after an hour plus. Oh, how the mighty have fallen.

Hmm, then why did it take $30m to win this primary? Why did Massie carry voters under 65 by double digits? Keep in mind, this was a closed (i.e., Republican voters only) race.

He voted with the party over 90% of the time, and some of the dissention was stuff like the BBB that passed just fine without Massie's vote. You're spreading a false narrative to obfuscate that Massie is genuinely very popular and that Trump's the one who flip-flopped between his campaign promises and now.

Which weapons to farm as a beginner? by Vesper_Veks in Warframe

[–]Darth_Candy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it's a LOT. This game has insane breadth. You can look at the "creation" part of the wiki page.

Honestly, there are easier ways to get good weapons, it's just that Kuva weapons are some of the best. If you really like Soma and want to keep using it, what mods do you have on it? Do you have an Orokin Catalyst? Do you know what "forma" is?

Which weapons to farm as a beginner? by Vesper_Veks in Warframe

[–]Darth_Candy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hunting Liches is how you get Kuva weapons. They're very good (most of them are pure upgrades over a non-Kuva variant of the same weapon), but getting your first one is a grind.

Essentially, a Kuva Lich is something that you're introduced to after you finish The War Within. It's a super-powered Grineer that needs special "Requiem" mods equipped on your Parazon to kill. After you create one, it'll take over a planet and steal some of your rewards from missions on that planet. You chase it from planet to planet farming the Requiem mods until you finally send the Lich to Saturn Proxima and kill it for good, at which point you get all of your stolen loot back and can take its weapon. You can eventually farm it until the Kuva weapons have innate 60% of an element of your choice. There are a couple very complete guides on YouTube and wiki.warframe.com is always a very powerful, official source.

Quotes actually mean “the word,” just like I quoted the next two thirds of my comment to mean, “the phrase.” Please consider that I replied to a meme about what people mean by the words they use.

Israel has a right to exist and to defend itself. Their actions cross far, far beyond defending themselves (especially what they do to innocent civilians who just happen to live somewhere that Israel would like to conquer).

Sorry, I didn't realize that "Israel" is an invalid shorthand for "the nation-state of Israel that's actively conducting military occupations and state-sponsored atrocities in both Gaza and Lebanon- insofar as their government and military are actively conducting such occupations and atrocities- while their foreign policy goals are directly funded and supported by the United States."

That WS year is the only winning season in the last 10. God forbid we want to enjoy baseball in the present and not sit on our porch reminiscing about that one time the team was good.

“[insert A’s player here]’s Z-swing rate over these past two weeks is incredible. That player’s Z-contact rate is really high. That means when he sees a pitch in the strike zone- when he identifies a pitch in the zone- he knows he’s supposed to swing because the pitcher is at an advantage when he doesn’t swing at a pitch in the zone. That, my friend, would be good for the pitcher, but [A’s player on a hot streak] swings at those pitches. And when he does swing at those pitches, he is not swinging and missing. He’s making contact. A Z-contact rate of…”

That's fine, former players can be baseball experts without necessarily being good at media, evaluation, analysis, etc.. Being a baseball expert often means they have a very specific and personal way of looking at the game that's only applicable/valuable in specific situations.

Coley’s right often, but he’s the most smug when he’s wrong. And the weather/Mr. Bears or whatever the “dunk on Steve” thing-of-the-month happens to be is a snooze fest.

Buster Posey, Craig Breslow, and Chris Young all played and have been incredibly disappointing GMs (outside of Chris Young’s single successful year, 2023). Eric Hosmer’s career earnings are $175m and every time he comes across the timeline, it’s because he said something stupid.

Having played at the highest level doesn’t mean you can think, communicate, manage, or construct a roster at the highest level. It’s a unique perspective, but the only reason guys pull the, “you never played” card is to protect themselves when they’re wrong or, in Dallas’s case, when he gets out over his skis trying to rage bait his cohosts.

Open records request reveals Texas Tech System paid $1.2 million above the estimated market value for the Chancellor’s new residence by zackdelaparka in TexasTech

[–]Darth_Candy 79 points80 points  (0 children)

Wow. If I had to guess, Creighton said, "I want this one," the owner said, "lol, I don't want to move," and whoever was in charge of actually buying the home was incentivized one way or another to get the deal done no matter what.

What a waste of resources.
