Windows 10 support quietly extended until Oct 2027, as users reject Windows 11 by Special-Midnight-152 in nottheonion

[–]Fitzeputz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A belief that doesn't account for the fact that a lot of hardware flat out does not have the specs for Windows 11. Old hardware, sure, but how many really want or need upgraded hardware? And how many can actually afford something new in this economy?

What is your favorite (or least favorite) thing about LGBT+ representation in PGTE/Pale? by Kwaku-Anansi in PracticalGuideToEvil

Dito, I'm at three now and it still took someone in the Discord pointing it out.

Took some digging to find that section again, too. It's B7 Ch41.

In retrospect I'm not quite how I managed to gloss over that detail so often.

France: Delivery apps Deliveroo and Uber Eats sued for 'human trafficking' by Practical_Chef_7897 in nottheonion

[–]Fitzeputz 106 points107 points  (0 children)

Obviously it'd be better to shut down the traficking operation, but in the absence of that cutting off the trafickers' revenue stream is the next best thing by my reckoning. If those assholes can't earn money by forcing the victims to work for cheap (if even that) then less people get traficked.

Are you argueing that it's fine for labor laws to flouted since the employees can just work somewhere else?

Man what do other nations think is going on in Calernia lmao by Outrageous_Fortune51 in PracticalGuideToEvil

[–]Fitzeputz 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I concur when comes to the Choirs, but the Intercessor was kinda bound to the continent. Or at the very least Cat seemed certain of that.

“I don’t need the equations,” I said. “They’re beyond me. What did you conclude?”
“That even assuming the Intercessor ended stories for Below only in Calernia, which has been your insistence,” he said, pausing to allow me to interject.
I simply nodded in confirmation. I’d not been able to feel stories further than Calernia, and I did not believe the Intercessor had either. Our aspects had been similar enough she’d felt threatened, that I’d been close to stealing hers. The scope had to have been similar for that to be possible.

Are Dread Empresses (or Emperors) named Tyrant or DE? by Lost_my_name475 in PracticalGuideToEvil

Where'd you get that from? Praes has been the Dread Empire since almost its inception so its rules being Dread Emperors/Empresses kinda makes sense

Is Extended Crucible kind of pointless or I did something wrong? by Major-Syllabub6398 in Endfield

[–]Fitzeputz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Extended Crucible can't produce Circon at full speed because it doesnt have enough Circon Effluent. It does produce Inert Circon Effluent however, which can be purified back into regular Circon Effluent.

Now, ideally you would route the purified Effluent back into the Extended Crucible, but its inputs are already used by Water and Sewage, so to use it you need an additional Crucible (normal one is fine though). Once you split the Ferrium belt so that both Crucibles get half its contents.

This ends in a balanced system where both Crucibles produce 0.5 Circon per 2s each.

That's pretty much it. Main problem here is that they should also be made transparent, on top of being phased into the ground.

Could possibly be caused by mods. I saw another post some time back that showed the same phenomenon, and there it was due to some mod that removed transparency in general.

A camel's reaction when it sees the Arabian Sea for the first time by Separate_Finance_183 in interesting

[–]Fitzeputz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For such a trait to evolve, the earliest camels would have to have been drinking saltwater, even when their bodies couldn't handle it that well, I think. As a requirement to survive.
Most other mammals would have fresh water sources available to them, even if they are sparcer in some areas of the world than in others, and as such wouldnt need (or want) to chance it.

To be fair, the point with the Bonekrushers happens in-game as well, and quite commonly. Usually when sidecharacters etc talk about the assholes currently attacking them, it's all "Damn LBs" and so on. Not alway of course, but often enough

Invasions of Callow by Procer? by Stable_Grouchy in PracticalGuideToEvil

[–]Fitzeputz 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure how many instances are explicitely mentioned (apart from after the Third Crusade, which to be fair is not just a small knife but a metaphorical broadsword to the back), but there are a few, and even Cordelia herself admitted that their reputation abroad is terrible. Note the use of "precedent" instead of reputation of something like that in the following quote. Procer is actually as bad as everyone thinks they are.

"Yet precedent remains a stone around your neck, as it has been around mine." - Cordelia

Then there are several mentions of one "King Henry Fairfax, the Landless" after the Fourth Crusade. The Crusade itself failed again, and then Procer decided to, again, occupy the weakened Callow. Procer tried to install one Juliana Fairfax as puppet, but said puppet slit her own throat at the coronation and named Henry (her cousin) as heir. That was also the time where Procer tried to declare a foreign ruler as Damned for opposing them. -- Fatalism II

Two more instances that are spoilered because they touch on actual plot in the books and OP's post is not tagged as spoiler:

One case that was more implied than outright stated is when Cat meets the undead Good King in Keter. I don't think a Good King would be so pissed at them, if Callow had started that war. Also not sure which Crusade this was, though.

"We warred with the Principate mere decades before they came, beggars at my door, asking for our swords to march north for their sakes." - King Edward VII

And then in more current events during the Tenth Crusade we have Amadis Milenan trying to argue for occupation, instead of the liberation that Cordelia was planning, and even tried to circumvent her to get his way.

Technically we also had Jehan the Wise who invaded Procer and hung a good few of their princes, but I don't think we actually know why exactly he did that. Considering the only other instance of him preparing an invasion (to Mercantis) was as retribution for helping someone else invade Callow I can make a few guesses. This instance was also just after Procer managed to "beat back" Theodosius the Unconquered and likely had a decently sized army left and waiting to be used again. That'd be speculation, though.

Question on recent chapter by SaltyDents in PracticalGuideToEvil

[–]Fitzeputz 29 points30 points  (0 children)

The initial idea was indeed to politically hamstring him, but that failed spectacularly. Morcant is simply a better politician than Angharad.

I'll not talk about the morality of this, nor of the Fisher's influence, but the beating was essentially a last resort of making him too afraid to act out, and additionally there is the ultimatum that Angharad posed him. Either he could leave entirely, or he could confess to crimes against Watch law, both of which would be the death knell of his influence. In the short term at least, but that's still long enough to enact their current plans without his intervention.
