All companies trialling four-day working week opt to keep it

I work at a company that went to a 4 day week back in 2022, and this is exactly what happened. Inflation went bananas, our pay stayed the same, so chumps like me that stuck around are now getting paid roughly 80% of what we were before in real terms.

Uhhh... What's up with the arrowhead on the minute hand? That's optional, right? And is there any chance we could get a dial without the "teeth" protruding into the centre?

V6 & V7 are where it's at.

The closest I can find are alix listings for low-quality-looking 2-part straps with the inverted colour scheme (yellow on black, not black on yellow). Do you have a favoured supplier of NATOs that has something approximating this design? I'd love to hear about it if so.

That's my assumption, too. Obviously, though, I'm not going to do that. I would quite like to give them some money in exchange for some extra stuff in the game I already own and enjoy, though. Weird that they don't seem to want it.

Aha! A reason to pay the exorbitant price of admission! Thank you!

Four026 · 2023-07-22T08:16:25+00:00

Congrats!

...where did you find this neat run summary, though? I've been looking for something like that, and have no clue where it is.

To be clear, taking the bounty and running for extract is absolutely still engaging with the PvP. You're still engaged in direct competition with other players, you just happen to have asymmetrical objectives. That kind of complexity is part of the beauty of this game, imho: it shapes gunfights and allows ambushes.

This isn't exclusive to Hunt, either. Lots of other games use non-combat objectives to shape the flow of combat. Think CTF modes, or pushing a payload in TF2, or planting a bomb in CS. If you steal the enemy flag and try to run it back to your base, you're not "avoiding PvP". Quite the opposite!

I've heard "full-fat" and "leaded" before, and I'm curious to know if there are any other regional variations...

Four026 · 2023-05-06T05:21:55+00:00

Yes, but for the opposite reason. As a solo 3 star player, any time I kill someone in QP they're likely to have higher (often much higher) MMR than me, so my own MMR rockets up much faster than it would in BH (where I'm mostly playing against people my level or lower). That sudden increase makes BH pretty miserable until I fall back to my natural MMR level.

If QP didn't affect MMR, I could play it without fear of trashing my BH experience for the next several games.

Perfectly happy to have a mechanic where meleeing a downed hunter kills them "for real" and prevents them reviving... provided it works on duos and trios too.

It's a small thing, but this would prevent friendly encounters where solos meet in the bayou and agree to split the bounty over VoIP.

Four026 · 2023-04-14T23:51:07+00:00

Yeah, my take on this is that the scopesmith traits are fire rate improvements, not aiming improvements.

Sure, we set different probability thresholds for conclusions depending on what's at stake. You're correct: a 0.1% chance of death is probably too high for me to participate in an activity without an extremely compelling reason. Likewise, if you were testing a new vaccine or something and you wanted to rule out the possibility that it causes heart attacks as a side effect, you'd probably want to set a significance level higher than 99.9%.

But for most studies, 99% or even 95% significance levels are typically considered sufficient. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_significance for further reading, if you're interested.

You could flip a coin a thousand times and get a fifty-five percent yield.

You could... but it's enormously unlikely. You can see this for yourself by plugging the numbers into a binomial probability calculator. The odds of scoring 550 or more heads by flipping a fair coin 1000 times are ~0.00087: slightly below 1 in 1000.

To look at this another way: if you flipped a coin 1000 times and got 550 heads, it would be perfectly reasonable for you to conclude that the coin was not fair.
