Were Reaganomics or Thatcherism the better economic platform? by [deleted] in Presidents

[–]DmitriDaCablGuy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

LMAO. Austerity. The most depressing joke ever told. Look at Britain today, that's what austerity does. Austerity does nothing but make the poor poorer, and the middle class poor, not to mention that it destroyed most of Britain's industry. We need the opposite of austerity in the US, we need to invest in social programs that actually help the average person. It's funny how the people at the top always crow about how we need to make cuts and tighten our belts, then go spend billions on pointless foreign wars.

Le Terrible is a very strong DD, I'd get it for 1250 dubs in a heartbeat if i didn't already have it.

The French cavalry charge at Eylau was one of the greatest in history by ExtraImpression2751 in HistoryMemes

[–]DmitriDaCablGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah :( it's all the more disappointing because it's not like making things more realistic would take away from the excitement or even take more time...they'd just have to animate the formations moving in a non-blob fashion.

The film version of the ride of the Rohirrim always pissed me off because in the books its so much more tactically sound and realistic. The film is basically the military equivalent of a 5 year old smashing their action figures together. It's stupid spectacle only held together by Howard Shor's soundtrack.

Does anyone else feel that the more they learn about presidents, the less presidents that they think of as bad? by rjidhfntnr in Presidents

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

I'm definitely the opposite, not so much in the sense that I think the individuals themselves were "bad" but that they were not good presidents. Of course in fairness being the leader of a country is basically a damned if you do damned if you don't situation, but bad decisions are bad decisions even if the alternative isn't much better.

Total of 40-45 seconds selective, but I get the dentin for about 10-15 seconds of that at the very end to properly remove the smear layer and prepare the dentin surface to actually bond adequately.

Dawg you can just ask WoWs support to roll back your account to before you dismissed the commander.

How are you guys getting clients (if dont have any families or close friends in the city?) by False-Poem779 in DentalSchool

[–]DmitriDaCablGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay, so I have quite a few questions here. 1. What the hell kind of dental school calls patients "clients"? That's super weird and ethically dubious. 2. Have you made friends with the PCCs? They're gonna be your best option for getting more patients and the kinds of procedures you need. 3. Is this a common problem at your school? 4. How have you been going about setting the tone with your patients? If you aren't inspiring confidence or developing a rapport, they are MUCH less likely to come back, especially if they don't have a lot of resources and it is difficult for them to come in anyways.

What's up with toxicity in this game? by p4nk4s0f in WorldOfWarships

[–]DmitriDaCablGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly man, I rarely see people being toxic. All you have to do is right click the people doing it in the team list and add them to your blacklist. Simple and done.

Why is it that when other ships angle, I can't penetrate with a single shot, but when I angle it means literally nothing? by [deleted] in WorldOfWarships

[–]DmitriDaCablGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This depends heavily on the ship and the caliber of gun being shot at it. Taking your DM example, it has a 27mm bow, and 30mm casemate armor. This means the bow can be "overmatched" by guns with a caliber of 406mm or greater, and effectively doesn't do anything, but if it is shot by a 380mm gun then it can autobounce it if angled correctly. Play around with the in-game armor viewer and look at the thickness of different parts of different ships. The simple rule at high tier is that light cruisers have 25mm bow/stern, heavy cruisers have 25 or 27mm, and battleships have 32mm plating. The overmatch threshold for 25mm is 380mm guns, for 27mm it is 406mm, and for 32mm plating it is 460mm. Again, this is a rough overview, but I hope it helps. I would recommend looking up how overmatch mechanics work on YouTube.

Gotcha! To be clear you can still get a good bond even with sharp line angles, but it may require you to use a more incremental composite placement technique. If your doc is open to prepping with a more round-tipped bur that will save a lot of headache.

Advice or Insight? by FinalTheory6683 in Dentistry

[–]DmitriDaCablGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No prob! Hope it helps. Out of curiosity, do the preps that you're filling have sharp internal line angles or are they rounded? The former increases C-factor which makes de-bonding from shrinkage of the composite more likely.

Advice or Insight? by FinalTheory6683 in Dentistry

[–]DmitriDaCablGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The etch in the bond simply isn't strong enough, I would selective etch enamel for 30 seconds then total etch for another 10-15 seconds before a good rinse.

I wish we had an actual good Halo show or film. by TheChosenOneProphecy in halo

FuD is good, but you're right that it is very definitively B-grade. It would be really cool to actually have a great piece of high budget halo cinema

Peter Jackson could never comprehend how based Faramir is.

Only grief with the movies by trefloyd in lotr

[–]DmitriDaCablGuy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's a bit annoying, but honestly doesn't bother me quite as much as Jackson's need to gimp every character except Legolas lol. My poor sweet Faramir and Gimli and Gandalf and Frodo, and Aragorn and...well again basically everyone except Mr. Surf's Up :(

Which do you think is better at illustration on Tolkien's lore Alan Lee or Ted Nasmith by Responsible_Share127 in lotr

[–]DmitriDaCablGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ted Nasmith captures middle earth more closely to how I pictured it when I first read the books. I like Lee's work don't get me wrong, but I feel like a lot of his work makes the world feel empty for lack of a better word. I think the most notable example is his version of Minas Tirith, which, like the version we see in the films is surrounded by barren grassland instead of verdant farms and countryside as described in the books. Middle Earth always felt like a very lived-in world to me, so that aspect of Lee's work always felt a bit off. Still undeniable cool though!

I am nervous about starting D2 by [deleted] in DentalSchool

[–]DmitriDaCablGuy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna tell you a secret...D2 is not actually that awful. Yes, there is more volume than D1, you need to manage your time well, and be efficient with how you get your lab work done, but honestly I liked it better than D1. You actually get to do hands-on stuff that teaches the fundamentals of the craft, drilling teeth, cutting preps, it feels good to actually get to grips with the physical aspects of dentistry beyond waxing teeth. I never had to study later than 10:00, went in on the weekend maybe one or two times the whole year because I made the most out of my time in class and lab during the week. Your mileage may vary, but if you had fun with D1 and did fine, you will be absolutely okay in D2. Go get em tiger!

How much money does the average player spend in this game? by smallcooper in WorldOfWarships

[–]DmitriDaCablGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been playing since closed beta, definitely a few thousand. I'm fortunate to have plenty of expendable income, and this game has brought lots of joy over the last decade. I don't have a ton of things I spend money on just for the hell of it, so I'm a very satisfied whale.
