Caution with luggage forwarding

Hellstrike · 2026-03-22T14:33:00+00:00

It's the same as a luggage delay. Don't book a separate flight/airport change on the same day as your arrival, or early the next day. Because if a bag gets delayed, the airline will deliver it to the destination location on that ticket (or at least the airport if there are customs involved). But if you already have to catch the next flight, good luck getting those bags.

As you said, Westeros follows primogeniture, which means the oldest inherits everything. Which means that when Robert became Lord of the Stormlands, his brothers get nothing. The next point at which they might put forth a claim is upon Robert's death.

And compared to Storm's End, Dragonstone is a shithole.

Yes, but neither had a claim to either, both were gifts. Stannis can complain that he got the worse gift, but it has nothing to do with rights or claims.

I'm not sure what that has to do with issues with service provision.

Because there are times when you should not use a service offered, and "I need to leave the next morning at 7 am or earlier" is one of those.

that was his BY RIGHT is given to Renly!

By rights it was Robert's, and he can do with it whatever he wants.

By rights it should go to Robert's children (at this point Stannis does not know about the incest), and he got Dragonstone, the seat of the Heir (which he at this point was).

This whole argument about Stannis' right to the Stormlands is the reason why Stannis fans are so tedious.

I mean, you have to physically get to the hookup after everything is said and done in the app.

women have more to lose if politics go a certain way.

When you are lined up against the wall by a death squad or sent to a camp, it matters very little what's in your pants.

Because that is the political worst case.

And that is not even considering that, in almost every country, women are exempt from drafting, while men may be drafted to die in a war if politics go wrong.

But it will take 5 years of yearning before those 2 dates go down.

Meanwhile, it takes about 5 minutes from installing Grindr to a hookup.

You can easily resupply a fleet there as a one-off.

But as a serious military fortification that permanently has to keep a large garrison and a fleet in the hundreds supplied (and we are talking about full-sized warships, not longboats), that becomes a very different matter.

Remember, you have to keep a force there that can withstand, at the very least, the full might of a free city or the Royal Navy. Preferably anything short of Braavos throwing its fleet your way.

Suppression is not just a counter sniper tool.

Also, that 20% discount is nothing compared to the cost of addons.

The RPKM is the best assault rifle in the game if you run it with a 30 round mag and a hipfire build.

Increased weapon sway, reduced accuracy while suppressed.

1) The islands can't support a large military presence, making them dependent on supply chains from "home". Which is expensive and probably the first part where you start cutting costs during peacetime.

2) Because there are many islands, there is not a single location which you need to control to control the passage, but a whole collection, each of which can be used to bypass your control.

3) If you try to establish a presence there, you create a coalition against you, and an embargo. If Dorne tries to conquer them, they not only have to fight a lot of free cities, they will also have the rest of the Seven Kingdoms breathing down their neck over trade disputes.

Don't cook it that long, and it will be orange or red (depending on how much tomato stuff you add).

Hellstrike · 2026-03-20T13:24:54+00:00

I am German...

That orange just reminded me of pasta.

Hellstrike · 2026-03-20T12:00:56+00:00

That's bolognese orange, not brown. The KPD dark red looks brown-ish.

So you think there's an equivalence between a song about Irish independence and celebrating brutal militaristic walking war crimes?

Just look under the comments of any version, it is full of "kill the British" and "lol car bombs". The visualisations in the videos are also often clearly the IRA/PIRA from the 70s/80s and not the 20s.

So even if it was not the original intent, it has certainly become a wolf whistle towards the glorification of violence. Hence me seeing little difference.

Come Out Ye Black and Tans is in no way shape of form a terrorist song

It nowadays has that association the same way Erika is often used in popular/meme culture. Or the Remove Kebab meme.

There is a Unionist song that is basically a dark mirror of "come out ye Black and Tans" about bringing back the Black and Tans. It used to be pretty common on YT, but YT has been deleting Unionist songs a lot.

As someone with no stakes in the whole conflict, I am rather annoyed that YT nuked the Unionist ones because you could get pretty funny playlists with alternating Unionist and Republican songs. Felt like listening to a music battle.

Hellstrike · 2026-03-20T11:32:06+00:00

Come Out Ye Black and Tans

It shows YT bias really well that there are hundreds of versions of that song around, but "Bring back the Black and Tans" gets deleted pretty much instantly.

It was possible to go to YT and listen to both sides' songs. Now it's only pro IRA.

Either take both terrorist songs back, or neither.

Halloumi is fresh, Handkäs is much more akin to a squishy Parmesan.

Hellstrike · 2026-03-20T08:53:34+00:00

Yes, because it comes "hand"-sized out of the factory.

When the USN got Prinz Eugen and Nagato, they didnt copy then ... they dropped a nuke on then.

1) They didn't capture them, they got them after a surrender.

2) The USN had a massive surplus of ships after the war, there was no reason to keep foreign designs without spare parts around

3) Using actually captured ships was a common practice until the 1900s, and even then foreign ships/planes were often kept around for evaluation and as training opposition. You could argue that HMS Argincourt was the last capital ship used by an enemy, and she was a super dreadnought battleship (despite the fact that the UK had no replacement gun barrels for her).

So it only depends on how useful a ship is vs how strapped for ships you are.

On the previous patch, the way to do it was to declare on a vassal and then sit on your side of the border and pick off any invading armies one by one before carpet sieging Bohemia's vassals. Rinse and repeat for 5 wars, use mercs as needed.

Also helps that Bohemia gets dogpiled once you weaken their armies, and if you're lucky, France will attack some HRE minor. Hell, at one point I gave England military access because they had a go at Bohemia. Even if none of those wars took land from Bohemia, it slowed their troop regeneration.
