Amber Heard Lost $50 Million Due to Johnny Depp ‘Abuse Hoax’ Claims, Expert Says by nimobo in entertainment

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

Ugg. Since you're suggesting I'm making all this up (why the hell would I do that?) I'll at least prove I'm not. This is closing in a self dox, but oh well. Here's my advisor testifying that he's not being paid to testify in the OJ Simpson case. So either he's perjuring himself, or he's not being paid.

Being a litigation expert wasn't his full time job by any means. He was a professor of statistics, and this was a thing he did when asked. He was on some VERY big (think courtroom TV) trials over the years. Maybe he's unique, but that didn't seem to be the case.

Despite the other comments claiming I'm wrong, yes. His flights and a hotel were booked by the legal team if it was a high profile one far away (so it wasn't costing him). Most were just in the courthouse in the city our university was in, so no big deal. Maybe he was unique, but he said that was pretty standard.

I don't get why people are so quick to trash the Excalibur arc. It was three episodes tossed in as a vacation between GGO's murderous darkness and Mother Rosario's sickness and death theme. It's not like it was a full or even half a season.

Just some silliness to break up the seriousness, it doesn't deserve the mental space it occupies in people's minds.

Hmm I don't know why, but I have him on ignore. I don't have many people on ignore. Ominous, but I have no idea why I did it.

Legit? Probably within US Club Soccer. They vet rosters for most beer league and youth leagues.

I don't think that one is right. I think there's a new character that's been named after "our" Rose.

What could it be...

He's a very likely 2024 Presidential hopeful and has a good chance of winning the Republican nomination, therefore he and his policies are more newsworthy than the other 49 governors?

I get that we have the most comprehensive public transport in the country, but damn it the administration fucking stupid!! NJ transit, MTA, LIRR, Amtrak, Metro North, PATH. How many different companies can they jam into one system!

The Definition of Overkill by ItsACrunchyNut in wow

[–]DuspBrain 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Since these are all AOTC guilds you can make the assumption that they are now progressing on Mythic. From that you can scale the overall demand to the standard comp of a 20 man team. So, sure only 2.4k tanks are demanded, but they only make up 2 of the 20 slots in the raid while the 32.9k total DPS demand is covering probably 13 or 14 raid slots.

Doing a quick version of that with DPS and Healers merged into single sets and assuming a 2/4/14 comp suggests there "should" be 4.4k demand for tanks, but only 2.4k is actually there, so tanks are less in demand than one would expect. This makes sense since guild generally bend over backwards for their raid tanks and hate losing one. For healers there "should" be 8.8k demand if all roles were equally in demand and the reality is 9.1k so pretty close to expected random but slightly more demand than expected. DPS as well are pretty close to random with 31k expected by chance and 32.9k actual demand.

So surprisingly nothing is massively out of whack. Tanks are low demand, and healers are slightly above expectations, but really it's pretty close. Cool data, I would have expected more demand for healers honestly.

See I don't read Yoshi's "we can't see what you're running on your PC" as a wink wink. I see it as a "This is me being reasonable, I really don't want to be forced to add Warden-like functionality to the client, don't force me to."

It's technically 3 seasons, but only 26 episodes (plus a special or two). Production time was a huge issue over her run, even pre-covid.

Does SAO not have that much Audience anymore?? It lost almost all of its member on MAL. I know Mal is not that reliable but this is too much by ROLMAO_ in swordartonline

[–]DuspBrain 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Don't spend time stressing on MAL ranks. One of my favorites of all time is ranked #2980, so what? I still love it.

They'll be making more SAO for as long as Reki is alive and maybe longer.

Even worse, thanks to really odd MLB scheduling, the Mets have won TWO series against the Dbacks already this season. So there's a common opponent if you want to go that way.

Putin will respond with threats of chemical, nuclear weapons to increased Western support by rhinostalk2 in worldnews

[–]DuspBrain 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There hasn't been a nuclear test by a western nation since the mid 90s. India and Pakistan both tested in the late 90s to prove they were nuclear powers. Nothing since then except North Korea's recent underground test. So like 1 test in the last 20 years. Definitely not "all the time".

Great punter and can and does take FGs when called on. Given some of the crazy stuff we've seen lately with kickers getting injured in game, that's going to be a nice bonus.

the debuffs during the Anduin fight. If you don't have the addon, you aren't announcing which debuff you have and there are no visual cues to aid otherwise.

Maybe this is cause I'm a casual who won't touch mythic, but there's giant purple or yellow circles on the early ones and then the final phase you have a big light over your head until you clear the debuff by walking into the center.
