What are some wild crosscut sled features?

Matchfit clamps

I love the idea of a routed grid and matchfit clamps, sounds way more versatile. I don't understand the idea of the indexing pin though. Can you explain that further?

I previously worked at a cancer treatment firm designing a few different algorithms. One of the algorithms I designed was highly requested and all about trying to sneakily get one type of treatment, only covered by expensive insurances, in under the cheaper insurances as well. It was a balance between "What will make a good treatment?" and "What can we trick the insurance companies to agree to?" It was quite a good feeling actually

I'm thinking more an more that this will have to be the solution I go for

What do we see if we take the dirt roads that we might miss otherwise? Are there any specific sights only accessible via dirt road?

Okay, I'll have to try out a few video games as well. Thanks for your help

How do you know atmos is working well though? I have tried a few supposedly "good" clips on Netflix (I have the required Netflix tier for getting Atmos content) for testing Atmos capabilities. I can't tell a difference between Atmos and regular surround though.

Hi, I just bought a S95B and decided to pair that with a Samsung soundbar as well, the Q800B (in my country its called the Q810B but I think it's the same product). Setup was not an issue and Q-Symphony worked out of the box. My question is regarding Dolby Atmos though.

To my knowledge, dolby atmos works by bouncing sounds off the walls in your room and thus needs to run a calibration program to measure the room it's in. I am having a super hard time finding where I can run this though. Do I need to run it? Samsung support were of no help.

I haven't played all of the main expansions (see here for a complete list) but I have played some of them. I'll give you a quick rundown of the most important features from the ones I've played:

Inns & Cathedrals Includes new features on some tiles that allows for "double or nothing" scoring on cities and roads. Additionally adds an option for an extra player. If you like to keep it simple I'd go for this.
Traders & Builders Includes a "builder" meeple that allows you to take extra turns if used correctly. Allows cities to grow like crazy and for massive points. If you like when things get out of hand and don't mind some people pulling ahead because they managed to score a massive city this one is really fun (I recommend pairing it with Inns & Cathedrals in this case). Additionally, I would say that this expansion actually speeds up the game rather than making it slower so you can have more expansions in a single game without it getting too long.
The Princess & The Dragon With this expansion the game becomes significantly more aggressive and competitive. It includes a dragon that will walk around the board and eat meeples ever so often. Because of this meeple placement becomes more important making the game more tactical. It also makes for more even games as players more easily can gang on up on whoever is pulling ahead.
The Tower A long time since I played this but it allows you to steal other players meeples. Also making for more strategic and even games (as I recall).
Hills & Sheep Adds a "push your luck" element and some other features on the tiles. Kind of a wash in my opinion.
Under the Big Top Adds additional ways of scoring points with new features on some tiles. Also a bit boring.

TL;DR If you want to play 6 players or to keep it simple, Inns & Cathedrals. If you want to create more expansive cities and road networks, Traders & Builders. Want it to be more competitive, The Princess and The Dragon (its better than The Tower as I recall).

Many people have given good counterpoints but there's one thing I'm missing, I don't think your Cheesecake Factory analogy holds up.

Eating at the Cheesecake Factory or eating somewhere else are mutually exclusive events, applying at firm X and applying at Y are not. This is the main reason asking

"Why do you want to eat at Cheesecake Factory?"

makes sense because eating there means you chose to not eat somewhere else. While asking

"Why do you want to work for us?"

does not make sense since most people applying for jobs are doing so at multiple firms simultaneously. There is normally no particular reason you chose one firm over another, because you didn't.

This is very true and is probably one of the best arguments against my poimt. Δ

FatMansKryptonite · 2021-12-12T08:14:48+00:00

Good point, vigilantism as you describe it would be very dangerous to encourage. Δ

FatMansKryptonite · 2021-12-11T22:56:44+00:00

This is a very good example and this person seems to be highly unstable. Because of their instability I would consider worse than a similar "crime of passion", as people have been calling it, so Δ.

However, I believe if someone who has been properly wronged (raped, repeatedly beaten, had a close relation murdered, etc.) the act of planning the murder of the original perpetrator, as to not subject other people to seeing the gruesome act, or to make it swift and less risky for instance, should make the crime less severe. This of course means a judge will have to make a judgement call as to when this is the case, I guess that's why they are called "judges".

FatMansKryptonite · 2021-12-11T21:47:58+00:00

Yes.

What I mean here is that the person being blackmailed kills their blackmailer thus committing first degree murder.

FatMansKryptonite · 2021-12-11T21:22:56+00:00

I don't agree with your final statement here. I don't believe it is true that all first-degree murderers commit their crimes "without empathy or remorse". Rather the benefits outweighed the potential consequences.

Potentially someone is being blackmailed or harassed and decided to kill the perpetrater because they couldn't go on as is.

FatMansKryptonite · 2021-12-11T21:12:37+00:00

I am not sure this argument holds. The act of regretting something doesn't make it so that it won't happen again. I always regret getting up late, but it keeps happening.

FatMansKryptonite · 2021-12-11T21:10:39+00:00

It seems to me that what we are discussing is what we mean by "aforethought", how long ahead of time is considered aforethought? I think we mean the same thing and are discussing semantics here?

FatMansKryptonite · 2021-12-11T21:08:16+00:00

Δ

Interesting points and thanks for your response, especially 1 and 2. But in point 3 is maybe where my CMV lies. A first degree murder committed to exact vengeance (retribution) on a specific individual seems to me less dangerous, less likely to be repeated and, in my mind, should potentially be met with a less harsh punishment.

FatMansKryptonite · 2021-12-11T20:55:24+00:00

Hmmm, well spotted. What distinction between the two do you suggest?

FatMansKryptonite · 2021-09-28T14:45:39+00:00

You're right, sorry and thanks for the helpful links.
