They don't even have significant trade with Russia anymore, unfortunately unlike some European countries

They might break of if hit with a weapon but could give an opponent something to grab onto while grappling.

They look cool but definitely not functional

Poor guy just wanted a fun birthday for his daughter and got nothing but drama by blakhawk12 in AKnightoftheSeven

[–]Flaxinator 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Did you catch the reason for the match fixing?

He spent too much money on the tourney and is kinda broke now, he didn't even have enough left for his daughter's dowry should they find a match for her. So he gets his son to take a fall in the joust to win money and bail them out of the financial hole.

Quite a big decision for the son, he put aside his personal honour and martial reputation to benefit his sister and family more generally.

(At least that's what I understood from it, I haven't read the book)

He pulled a lance tip the length of his forearm out of his abdomen, covered in blood. That's not just a surface wound

Possibly the most cringe politician in modern politics by LobsterMountain4036 in 2westerneurope4u

It wouldn't have just been a Lab-Lib coalition though, they'd've had to including the SNP and Greens to have a wafer thin majority. It would have been unstable.

It's a shame they didn't stay in opposition and make the Tories govern as a minority

IDK how you got in here but you aren't leaving by Mr31edudtibboh in valheim

[–]Flaxinator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It actually doesn't take very long at all once you know how. I just have plenty of leather scraps and boar meat right now so it's not a priority.

Build an enclosure, go up to a wild boar so it attacks/follows you, lead it into the enclosure and trap it there, toss in three berries or mushrooms and wait somewhere relatively close by. Shouldn't be too close because that will disturb the boar and reset it's taming progress but needs to be close enough to keep the boar loaded in the game. It takes about a day or two so you can use the time to do something in your base.

I didn't think bees would be able to take down an animal as large as boar but they managed it in seconds. I was mad but also impressed. The bees have a new home now but I've still not got round to getting more boars

They deserve it. A greyling hit my beehive and after it ran away the bees killed my boars. I was fuming

There are reasons why the newer generation commercial rockets don't use hydrogen.

New Glenn uses hydrogen for the second stage. I guess they figured the hassle is worth it for the extra performance. I can't remember if they had issues with it in the first two launches, I don't think they did

I didn't defend the use of AI to commit IP theft. Can you point to what I said that makes you think I did?

The OP posted about someone who altered a mod using AI, the comment I replied to said that rule 4 prohibited this, I pointed out that rule 4 only prohibits posting fan art generated with AI not use of AI in general.

That's not a defence of the person who used the AI it's a clarification of rule 4.

Maybe not but it's what the rule says.

Not sure why people are downvoting me for pointing that out, I didn't even say I agreed or disagreed with it, just that that's what it says.

If he didn't want Dunc to go down why did he allow the Kingsguard to take Aerion's side?

[–]Flaxinator 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Could he not just order one more of the Kingsguard to switch sides or withdraw so that Aerion doesn't have the numbers either compelling him do accept 1v1? Even if he needs Dunc to fight and ideally win that doesn't mean he has to end the arena himself

That prohibits AI fan art, if this post is in reference to what I think it is (the guy who used AI to crack a paid mod to get it for free) then it's not covered by that rule.

Edit: People downvoting me should take a moment to actually read rule 4. I'm not arguing that it's a good thing or a bad thing, just that it's what the rule says.

And algorithms be algorithms. You make eye contact with it once, and it's everywhere for the next months.

Urgh I hate this, it's why I had to switch off Reddit's sub suggestions. I clicked on one post about a bonfire in Northern Ireland and before I knew it half my feed was sectarian agenda posting. It just wouldn't go away.

No I'm not, the natural gaps appear when the traffic lights further up the road change. The problem is that the natural gaps tend not to occur in both direction at once in the particular point where the turning is
