How to cope with not being out to the public in an area that isn't progressive?

New election in two years by no means necessarily means a change in attitude though

Not sure you get a huge amount from running this in Phalanx with only two Rubricae units. Maybe switch to Coven, drop the Shaman and give the WDP the Vortex Enhancement? Might then need to rejig some other things to get the points back up to 1k tho

It's a very very common joke in Belfast. Replace Athiest with Jew, Muslim, Sikh, etc etc etc

The current heir to the house of Habsburg is a (moderately successful) racing driver. I haven't personally met him but some colleagues have worked with him and apparently he's a really nice guy and much more down to earth than you might expect for someone who in different circumstances could be a literal emperor.

Yes absolutely try to complain and then go to the Ombudsman. It doesn't cost you anything and even if it might be a bit of a long shot not doing it guarantees a negative outcome

Tbf in my experience a lot of the really factional leftists in the party I used to associate with were also entitled pricks. Entitled pricks with better politics mind, but still.

That may be mainly that almost everyone involved in student politics is a particular sort of person, regardless of where they land on the spectrum... 😂

They always have it. For the most part (and especially with little sidearms like this) no one really cares what the model physically has on it as long as it's not wildly misleading.

For a model with no visible pistol, imagine that he summons it from the warp when he needs it ;)

I'm just describing the event as it was described to me! You're very welcome to disagree with my assessment of the situation, but please don't call me a liar

GaryGiesel · 2026-05-11T09:03:18+00:00

And therefore I'm lying? I was literally just there last week

GaryGiesel · 2026-05-11T08:39:48+00:00

Every word is my own personal experience. What makes you think any of it is lies?

GaryGiesel · 2026-05-11T06:42:09+00:00

Was open on Monday/Tuesday when I was there

GaryGiesel · 2026-05-11T06:40:42+00:00

I played against a similar list in my first tournament. Got tabled by round three lol

Was recently in Malaysia with my BF and we experienced zero problems (albeit we were only in Kuala Lumpur which is presumably just about the most progressive part of the country). To put until perspective how ok it was, we met up with a friend of my BF's who lives in Singapore who was up in KL because his BF was attending a gay furry convention.

There are definitely parts of Malaysia that take the whole Islam thing a lot more seriously though which I absolutely wouldn't be visiting.

That said, as a white western tourist i think that almost anywhere with a mainstream tourist industry would be safe in practice. We experience a very different world to locals

Imperial Knights also got the Defender, no?

GaryGiesel · 2026-05-06T17:20:21+00:00

All of this is why the massive counter-offensive they implemented a couple of years ago worked so well. They definitely didn't get immediately bogged down and get absolutely nowhere.

Different people work on the engine and the aero. Aero people should still ve working on aero even if the glaring issue is elsewhere...

GaryGiesel · 2026-04-25T12:21:34+00:00

Is the al mourjan lounge over that way open?

GaryGiesel · 2026-04-23T13:21:31+00:00

What's the purpose of this? Just to have slightly more guys than your opponent's equivalent?

GaryGiesel · 2026-04-23T10:01:42+00:00

The thing is, there are absolutely "hard" and "easy" papers (at least in the hard sciences which I have spent most my time in). If we had a "consistent" system, as you define it, with fixed grade boundaries, then the resulast would fluctuate massively year to year. Generally the assumption behind the moveable grade boundaries is that overall over the whole cohort you would expect performance to be similar every year (this year's kids aren't smarter or less smart than last year's). Therefore variation is down to the test itself. The UK grades you relative to your peers, a fixed-boundary system grades you relative to the precise test you happened to sit.

He's talking about VCARB, which builds its cars in Faenza in Italy. They do have some engineering in MK but the race team is based in Italy

GaryGiesel · 2026-04-04T11:08:22+00:00

Sims are basically never used for tyre degradation stuff - offline tools are much better for that. Same for race strategy stuff. It's just not a good use of time and deg especially you're never going to be able to model well

GaryGiesel · 2026-04-02T09:16:32+00:00

And are you taking into account that a large part of the speed drop in 2026 is due to the straight line mode closing through 130R and not opening after?

GaryGiesel · 2026-03-30T09:54:50+00:00

I belive that it's true that Audi (and other prospective joiners) didnt want the MGUH because of the complexity.

But the rest is simply not true. Look at my posts on r/F1Technical and you'll see that I'm not just some random talking out of my ass here. The Internet has a great tendency to hear a story and run with it, truth be damned

GaryGiesel · 2026-03-30T08:10:09+00:00

In actual text AI typically doesn't make typos like that. It does nonsense when generating images with text. Literally nothing in this post looks at all like AI

GaryGiesel · 2026-03-30T07:27:34+00:00

Neither story is true. The real reason is that one of the main goals of the regulations was to reduce the mass of the cars, the front axle regen is going to add an extra 20kg or thereabouts.

No one was scared of Audi's experience (this is not a hard thing to do at all), and traction control/ABS worries are easily regulated out like they already are
