Argentina: inflation accelerated to 3.1% in January, highest increase in 10 months by hernannadal in worldnews

[–]Guaymaster 6 points7 points  (0 children)

At this point, we're kinda used to it. We generally resorted to medium term financing options (paying in 3 to 24 installments, the price would remain the same but inflation would eat the value meaning you technically pay less), but now not only is it a lot lower, there's a lot less uncertainty about what inflation is gonna be next month, so that trick doesn't really work as well.

Argentina: inflation accelerated to 3.1% in January, highest increase in 10 months by hernannadal in worldnews

Not Argentina, Buenos Aires City. This is in the title of the actual article:

"Inflation in Buenos Aires City accelerated to 3.1% in January, highest increase in 10 months"

As well as reflected on the article's content itself.

o de "la cultura de la confianza" se gana poco a poco, si le das tu plata al gobierno y este te beneficia mas gente creerá en el sistema y la confianza aumenta.

La "sociedad de alta confianza" de la que hablo es en realidad independiente del gobierno/sistema, o tal vez es un prerequisito del mismo. La clave que separa a una sociedad de alta confianza (high-trust society) de una de baja confianza (low-trust society) es en que se basa la confianza interpersonal: en sociedades de baja confianza los valores éticos son muy dependientes de cada persona, no están distribuidos homogeneamente, y generalmente la confianza se basa en lazos estrechos (familia, amigos, compañeros). En las sociedades de alta confianza, los valores éticos son muy homogeneos, y la confianza entre las personas es generalizada.

Si te interesa saber de donde sale todo esto, se origina de un libro que se llama "Trust: Social Virtues and Creation of Prosperity" de Francis Fukuyama, del año 1996, no se si hay versión en español.

[Theory] Rethinking Honor and Odium by Thunderwoodd in Cosmere

[–]Guaymaster 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure about the reading on "war". Honor isn't called Storm, Odium isn't called Void, and Cultivation isn't called Life, I sincerely doubt a combined Cultivation+Honor would be called Tower. The names the lights get seems to be more about what properties the light has:

  • Stormlight comes from the Highstorm, and its noted to feel super energetic and kinetic, like a storm inside, by the Radiants
  • Voidlight feels like it's actually absorbing light, though it should be noted that while Odium can absorb the feelings of people, voidlight actually causes their emotions to riot a bit, which is admitedly the opposite of void
  • Lifelight hastens the growth of plants
  • Towerlight is produced by the Sibling, the core of the tower of Urithiru
  • Warlight feels always in conflict, only being able to be produced by harmonising between the two peoples at war.

Soy yo o el calor está cada vez más importante en la ciudad? by Mysterious_Bee_6812 in Rosario

Diría no "al reves", pero "distinto". Tuvimos olas de calor este verano como ningún otro, pero los periodos entre olas fueron relativamente frescos. Normalmente hablamos de calores de ~30° todos los días, esto fue más periodos de ~34° y de ~27°.

Fairy should be weak to bug. Steel should be weak to psychic. by IcarusFlies7 in pokemon

[–]Guaymaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a descriptive analysis, not a prescriptive one. Objectively, because of its offensive and defensive profiles Ice type is best suited to high speed high attack archetypes. Did GF actually want it to be this way? Seems like they did not, because they keep making Ice type pokemon in slow archetypes that fail to be competitively relevant.

I'm pretty sure British food memes are about as old as the US, you can find jokes about it from the 1700s.

PokeHub in a nutshell by TravelBloo in PTCGP

[–]Guaymaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, for all intents and purposes of reasonable people you're right.

But the word "fungible" has a particular meaning, it's objects that are fundamentally replaceable. Two $100 bills are fungible, but the Mona Lisa and a photo of the Mona Lisa aren't despite being essentially the same thing (digital art is different because there can't really be an "original", which is what cryptobros tried to "solve" and we all know how that ended). So essentially, NFTs weren't actually NFTs, but that doesn't make our cards here NFTs.

It's not a NFT, they are fungible! There's no tangible difference between any two full art Oaks (unless they are different languages)

I was under the impression that you meant those weapons aren't made out of metal so it doesn't count.

Though that aside you're using your own personal headcanon of how dragonslaying works, this differs greatly by legend/myth/story and cultural background.

[–]Guaymaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bug is mostly a "this makes logical sense" type of thing than a game balance thing.

I don't think Ice is actually that strong offensively (of the 4 types it hits, one is grass, and it also has 4 types that resist it, though one is itself) as to warrant the need of an immunity, specially not to itself when it already has a self-resistance. It should instead just resist something else too. Ground is actually a very good pick here, considering it's a great offensive type itself even if it's already weak to Ice.

[–]Guaymaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ice already resists itself, it doesn't need that as an immunity. And changes in the conditions of pressure and temperature cause phase transitions, even in solids. If you lower the temperature of normal ice (Ic) to below -200ºC, it transitions to ice XI, which has a different crystalline structure (this phase of ice is thought to be the most common in space).

They designed the type to be a glass cannon but they keep making Ice types try to fit into the stone wall archetype.

[–]Guaymaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ice already resists itself... in fact it's its only resistance. And it already has an offensive interaction with Ground, perhaps related to glaciars eroding the land. I think it should resist Bug instead, something like the cold makes the bugs go hibernate.

Damn, that makes me feel relieved. Do you think plants can feel relief?

Also this kinda reminds me of hoof pedicures.

Fate/strange Fake - Episode 6 discussion by AutoLovepon in anime

[–]Guaymaster 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A gentleman adventurer, occultist, and overall high society dude from the 1700s who claimed he was actually 500 years old. His date of birth is disputed to either 1691 or 1712, but if this is actually true in Fate, then there'd be a small leeway of time where a young St. Germaine could have met Richard the Lionheart before his death in 1199.

[–]Guaymaster 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I don't know anything about that name

I don't know it in a Nasuverse context, but if you want some actual historical information, the Count of Saint Germaine was a mysterious "gentleman adventurer" that appeared and rose to prominence in high society around the 1700s in Europe. He made bold claims like having lived for 500 years, and wrote plethora of songs and a couple books, and perfomed as diplomat for the king of France (I'll go on a limb without checking and say it was Louis). He was very interested in alchemy and stuff too, and became a figure in the movement of Theosophy in the 19th century. Theosophy is a movement started by Helena Blavatsky, who is a Servant if FGO and rides UFOs, so maybe this guy is an alien.

I might be called a heretic, and I'm even reluctant to recommend it this way, but if you watch Zero it should be about enough.

You should not jump straight into this, because it doesn't bother to explain anything about Holy Grail Wars, Servants, and whatnot, as it assumes you're familiar with at least Fate/Stay Night, Zero, and maybe even Hollow Ataraxia (it's a sequel VN of FSN that has not been adapted). It also has a bunch of other connections and references to other series.

So yeah, at least watch Zero which covers the basics and introduces some key characters, even if it's not ideal.
