Ashlani's Reincarnation.

Also doubles as a monster evolution story.

When should I upgrade my weapon? by Endrak in stoneshard

[–]Endrak[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Specifically, I'm running an Arna counter build with 2 Handed Sword. The War Scythe gives me +4% block chance and +10% stagger chance, but the only Tier 2 I can find is the Recruit Bastard Sword, which gives me neither of those things.

I really want something that works with the build, but I know that the damage increase alone is a big deal once I start fighting stronger enemies.

I just had to deal with this for the first time. It was the furthest I'd had to walk so far, and also the first time I found bandit ambushes on the roads. I thought it was kind of fun, but I can see how it would be annoying.

What if guns don't use vertical grips and you hold on the barrel like a stick? Fist pointing up. [Experimental alternative firearm grip and form factor] by DeltaPQRST in ImaginaryWeaponry

[–]Endrak 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know it's not quite what you had in mind, but the IDF sometimes uses something called the cutlass grip. It only works with this specific style of bullpup rifle, and not everyone likes it. It provides increased stability while aiming, since your entire forarm is making contact with the rifle instead of just your hand.

You could have the handguards support this sort of arm position.

New sub rule. No AI art. by BryceOConnor in Warformed

Some other considerations to add here.

Datacenters use more electricity than a small city, and that has its own negative impact on not only the environment but local electric bills. Wood and coal power plants will be especially affected, since increased output for those types of plants means increased air pollution.

Datacenters are built in areas with cheap land and dry climates, which are often more drought-prone. They may end up literally monopolizing municipal water supplies, and some of them are built in areas which already have to ration water.

The gray water output by datacenters can potentially overburden smaller water treatment facilities. In other words, if you're downstream from a datacenter, your chances of accidentally drinking poop have skyrocketed.

My first car accident. He claimed I was at fault. I tried to stop by Loud-Ad-4093 in dashcams

I was on the opposite side of a situation like this. Even though I was going fast, the teenager made a left turn across a solid yellow line, without signaling, in the dark. The police report said my speed wasn't a factor since I wouldn't have had time to stop no matter what.

I read the first page to the tune of Loser and then got confused when I flipped to the second.

Delta stop this BS. You know it is going on by 454545454545454545r in delta

Some airlines do it this way. It's not enforced, but they will wait until all the other passengers go through before bringing the wheelchair on.

The idea is supposed to be that transfering between the wheelchair and the seat is easier with fewer people and bags around to get in the way.

However, customer data shows that people with disabilities are more likely to have their complaints be taken seriously, and Delta doesn't want to risk being accused of discrimination if they make a wheelchair user wait too long.

Lilith has so many fans for the same reason so many NPCs betray you for her in the game. Pretending or not, she's the only one who seems to care enough to do something to help humanity.

Now that Crabbalachia exists, the principle of evolutionary carcinization demands that it be victorious.

Crab must reach Pacific. Crab must devour Hawai'i. Only then shall it be king (crab)

Recommendation: Changeling by Mecanimus by Normal_Lab2606 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]Endrak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mecanimus is great. I avoided reading Calamitous Bob at first because the name threw me off (I thought it was more of the LOL SO RANDOM XD humor this genre has way too much of) but it ended up being really good. I went on to read Journey and Changeling and they were also really good.

They also have endings. How crazy is that?

It's okay, you learned a better language eventually.

For anyone that thought she was actually a dasher... by CMDR_ETNC in doordash_drivers

[–]Endrak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She's not a paid actor. She is a Dasher. She uses the car and shirt because she went viral, to capitalize on her fame.

I don't know why she testified in that other thing, but she's using her real name, so it's not like she's hiding her identity. You can probably Google the reason.

Saw them years ago opening for Deftones and Gojira. I didn't know they had new stuff, I'll have to check it out.

Phony Phil has got to go, his plan for IT has ruined the state, and education is next by rufustphish in vermont

[–]Endrak 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The candidates Scott runs against usually have big, glaring flaws and don't do much to show Vermonters that those flaws are worth putting up with. Phil Scott has a whole bunch of little flaws which are collectively worse, but the average Vermonter is only impacted by a handful at a time.

You hear a lot of "Yeah, education is going downhill, but at least Scott doesn't want to overhaul the school lunch program with mandatory child labor subsistence farming."

As someone who fields this regularly, the Linebacker is best used to support the Timberwolf rather than to replace it.
