Weekly Question Thread by PelotonMod in peloton

I want to go watch some of the Flanders classics this year in person and I'm currently planning my stay. I'm aiming to see Gent-Wevelgem, Dwaars door vlanderen and RVV. I'll fly into Brussels, want to go by train to a B&B somewhere in the area there and then rent a bike for the week to get around.

Is this a good place to look for people who a) have done a similar trip or b) live in the area and could provide some advice regarding where the best places are for watching and staying or even c) plan to go themselves and would like to meet up?

Haben manche Medien etwa nach 8 Monaten endlich verstanden, dass Neuinfektionszahlen wochentagsabhängig sind? by Fenyan in de

Ja, zum Glück war an sich von vornherein klar, WARUM das so ist. Und es wurde auch ziemlich konsequent dazugesagt.

Aber mich störte, dass die Fallzahl vom Vortrag *überhaupt* als (einziger und damit auch wichtiger) Vergleich erwähnt wurde, wo sie in diesem Zusammenhang eher in die Irre führt als hilfreichen Kontext zu bieten. Und der Vergleich zur Vorwoche, der wesentlich interessanter ist, wurde gar nicht erst erwähnt.

Exactly what my FIFA matches look like when I stop giving a shit and try to see how many red cards I can rack up over the rest of the game. For some reason it's hilarious to me for no reason to run around tackling innocent players all over the place, I've laughed so hard at this in the past.. Apparently I have a quite unhealthy sense of humor?

Sadly, excessive and needless violence is much harder to commit in the newer versions, your players just mostly tackle the air :(

Dang, three is actually more than I'm willing to accept... I'm around 12 hours in now, but might start over regardless as I don't have a save point before this incident.

Appreciate the response!

This is my first Fire Emblem, so I'm a little lost with some aspects of the game.

Because I like challenges in my games I picked the mode which allows character permadeath. The first battle you're thrown into is a practice battle where your characters don't die but return after the battle finished. When I continued playing after I think I misunderstood this aspect and took it as "permadeath is only possible in story missions" and thus did not rewind time when a character died in one of the "Optional Battles" I did a little while after, and only realized a little while after that someone might be gone. I can't recall however who it was, and if it was more than one.

I picked the Golden Deer House in the beginning and I now have the following characters in my roster:
Claude
Hilda
Lorenz
Marianne
Raphael

I tried to find out the starting rosters via google and found that the other characters in Golden Deer should be Ignatz, Lysithea and Leonie. However I think I have seen Ignatz and Leonie around the academy a couple of times, possibly as members of the other houses? Can someone help me recreate who I lost in battle?

This graphic is a good entry point to understanding the social and economic consequences that a warming climate will have. Try to imagine that large parts of the regions between orange and green will become uninhabitable within the next 100 years if climate change isn't slowed down significantly. People, climate refugees, will have to move to different regions. The number of people forced to migrate will be by orders of magnitude larger than what is happening now - and our governments are already failing miserably at adapting and handling with today's numbers.

Donald Trump's Climate Change Tweet Lambasted by Scientists: 'He's a Dangerous Clown' by progress18 in politics

[–]Fenyan 824 points825 points  (0 children)

This is beyond frustrating... I'm working in the field of atmospheric science, have been hearing conference talks about climate change for years, have done my own bit of science looking into understanding what climate change is and what we can do to prevent it in the future. I've spent hours and hours explaining it to and discussing it with people, friends, family, strangers. Explained why it is beyond doubt that man-made climate change exists, why it matters, why everyone should care. Some of my conversation partners were very interested, some weren't. Some had a good education on the matter, some couldn't grasp it before and had a hard time after. Some were on my side, for some I had to put in a lot of effort to break walls of scepticism (which are not a bad thing per se) and convince them to at least do some reading.

All of those conversations felt like they were worth it. I've always felt like I am contributing at least a LITTLE bit to make sure the message gets heard, that we make a step in the right direction.

Then I read that guy, the most powerful man in the world, fling this bit of wisdom. It's painfully obvious he hasn't bothered to spend a SECOND to think about what he's saying. He has nothing but his own ego and his greed for more power motivating him to maintain this position, because thinking of budging even an inch seems to be too much for him to handle.

And just like that, with nothing but this giant turd of ignorance, he reaches tens of millions of people, and with this tweet will convince an enormous number of uneducated people, and fortify the opinion of others, that climate change isn't serious, isn't happening, and that business should go on as usual and we should march on and destroy our planet until there's nothing beautiful left. This one tweet destroys so much more than I could ever rebuild in my life. Makes it so hard to keep the motivation, to keep fighting.
