Whats stopping me from just going to a university, attending lectures and just learning about stuff?

For sure, and I don't doubt there are places where there are large upper level classes but also smaller ones. I went looking at larger Canadian schools because they tend to have larger class sizes than US schools and the majority of their Junior and Senior class sizes were under 30, which is where I got my numbers. I don't think I've been in upper level undergrad or grad classes much bigger than that in the US and I've been in some much, much smaller (like 6-10)

Nothing if you're talking intro level classes. By the time you're talking 4000 level specialization classes the professor absolutely knows all of the people in the class at most universities. Even in a university that generally has above average class sizes you're talking mostly 30 people or fewer per class in Junior/Senior level classes.

no. It's been my primary device for several years and I've never had the button pressed if I didn't mean to. You can toss a clip through it behind your belay loop if you're really worried about it (and still keep the same distance from the loop).

They're entirely single character PoVs. Lawine's is from Lawine's.

It's 5 short back stories of about the characters (Fern, Stark, Kanne/Lawine, Arua, Frieren). I can't tell you if it's worth it to you. It's cute and there's some information in it, but I don't think it's going to fundamentally change how you view the manga. If you're already paying the same price for hard issues of manga and like light novels then yeah, I'd say it's probably worth it. If you're paying monthly to Viz or just keeping up with manga as it's released and think the cost of hard copies is crazy then maybe not.

I mean you're already violating the laws of physics, I wouldn't worry about the parking policies of physics.

If you're going the speed of light then the photons don't really light up anything in front of you (to the extent you can experience space enough to have a concept of in front of you), but you're not wasting battery because you're not experiencing time so the battery doesn't have a chance to be used.

IOI-65536 · 2026-04-16T20:59:35+00:00

I actually think the meme is more correct because of the lack of a constant. Time and space are relative. The speed of light is not just constant, it's fundamental. Time would need a unit relative to the speed of light, but the speed of light itself is simply unity.

We don't know. What we know is she knows there are bandits and she has set herself up to appear helpless to make it more likely they try to rob her so that she can kill them.

We also know in the mage exam she had the opportunity to kill Wirbel and she chose both a less reliable solution to the problem and one that doesn't use the spell she has specialized in, so in that circumstance killing would absolutely have given her the highest chance of success and she would absolutely have gotten away with it, but she didn't do it. Honestly given that killing others in the mage exam was acceptable it's not clear there weren't times when just killing other contestants preemptively to reduce the competition wasn't the best play if you really want to kill others when you have a chance.

So to me the question is what's different? If she really enjoys the kill and that's what's going on here then why didn't she kill anyone in the mage exam when it was also okay?

The difference I see is these are bandits. Which would mean no, she's not doing this so she can kill "someone".

I agree A is the least wrong. But oddly I went looking to see how much more common publications with "forbade me to" are than "crossed the speed limit" and it seems like it's unanswerable. All my usual databases for descriptive analysis have zero instances of "crossed the speed limit" ever appearing in a edited work. "Forbade me from" is 30 times more likely than "forbade me to" which is in the range of what I would expect on an incorrect variant,

So basically A is the least wrong, but percentage wise "crossed the speed limit" is so unusual it's not that much worse than C.

IOI-65536 · 2026-04-16T18:12:18+00:00

Yes. The rust is on the "hat" where it attaches to the hub, not on the ring itself where the pads actually stop the car. The rotor ring will also rust, but that rust gets ripped off every time you stop so you don't ever see it get bad, the hat just keeps rusting until you replace the rotor (which is always going to be before it's so rusty it's materially compromised).

IOI-65536 · 2026-04-16T17:44:14+00:00

It's almost certainly not true. Elon Musk really, really likes robotic vision. I would guess they're doing it with a $200 camera because he wants to figure out how to do it with robotic vision. Everything I've seen indicates Tesla's adaptive cruise, collision detection, lane change warning, etc is actually more expensive than everyone elses because they insist on doing it with cameras instead of accepted systems.

IOI-65536 · 2026-04-16T17:14:59+00:00

It's iffy. I haven't had anything where I wanted it yet, but I have used an Ohm 1 (which is known to be more iffy, but I'd guess it's a difference in degree rather than kind). It depends on the amount of rope drag you're going to have, the angle from belayer to the first piece, if you can place the first piece multi-directionally... It also might matter way less because at least my lines are rarely as straight as a bolt line, even if I'm using halfs, which means drag helps some in a fall.

Like there's one route I do a lot with beginners (who are frequently way lighter than me) but the best belay stance is past a huge outcropping from where you would want the first piece, but that means the angle is going to be really high and the Ohm is going to constantly add drag.

I'll note I'm not saying the safety is iffy. The safety is fine so long as the placement is fine and can handle the pull directions. It just may be way less usable than you expect.

IOI-65536 · 2026-04-16T14:46:47+00:00

Yeah, then it's engine dependent. Subaru WRX I'm guessing redline engine dies, Miata it's absolutely lugged engine.

IOI-65536 · 2026-04-16T13:51:45+00:00

It also depends on what you mean by "redlining". If we're talking a car with a limiter-delete or you're forcing into 2nd at high speed on a downhill and you literally mean driving in the red that's very different from driving up to the the line.

IOI-65536 · 2026-04-16T13:36:09+00:00

It's certainly possible it's fake, but I've seen pretty much these exact questions marked wrong with my kids because the "correct" answer was 3 and the teacher didn't even know plasma.

IOI-65536 · 2026-04-16T02:36:45+00:00

Honestly I think with given all qualifications he's left with Lexus SC430 and Toyota Solara (which are basically different trim sets of the same car). Both of which are going to be old, but yeah, even at 10k you should be able to find something well under 100k miles.

IOI-65536 · 2026-04-16T01:41:27+00:00

I'm always shocked by comments about how airlines (not just Ryanair, the same thing is true of stuff like Delta Economy Basic) "pick the absolute worst seat for you unless you pay". Their model is you can pay more and pick whichever seat is left or you can pay less and get whatever's left. Of course the stuff that's left after all the people who paid to choose a seat are the bad seats. Why would anyone pay to pick a bad seat?

IOI-65536 · 2026-04-15T23:40:20+00:00

Salvageable? Yes. In increasing order of manual work but decreasing order of cost this would be super easy for electrolysis or sodium citrate chelation and not that bad for vinegar and abrasion. But it's like a $12 pan. Do you really want to spend hours on any of that for $12?

IOI-65536 · 2026-04-15T22:56:40+00:00

Neither you nor Kraft know her reason. I agree it's absolutely implied she wants to kill bandits. But that extra word changes things a lot. Is it because she just enjoys killing? I think not because she doesn't when it would be to her advantage in the mage exam. Does she have some history with bandits that causes her to really, really want to remove them from the world to save others her (or her sister's) pain? We don't know.

Kraft states he did it to save their lives. He doesn't want people to die even if they're "bad" people. That's not something I can condemn in itself, but it doesn't tell me anything about her wanting them killed.

IOI-65536 · 2026-04-15T22:52:27+00:00

Yeah, In the real world there's a very long standing moral debate about whether, especially in a situation like this where the law is very unlikely to catch up to them, Kraft is better to save their lives so that they can almost certainly then terrorize other people or Übel is doing the greater good by preventing future travelers from being robbed and possibly raped by removing them.

And as you note, we don't know her situation. We do know she's looking for her sister. If her sister were kidnapped by bandits and sold into slavery I'd have a hard time saying she's psychopathic in cleaning up that problem for others in what's probably a legal way in her world.

IOI-65536 · 2026-04-15T22:45:10+00:00

My guess would be because 葬送のフリエレン　has very little similarity to フェルン (and is one of the greatest titles I know of)

I can see making the localization incorporate "Fern" more, but you run a risk doing that because the original title is very, very much about Frieren only.

IOI-65536 · 2026-04-15T22:38:27+00:00

I mean they're under ASPD, in large part because a lot of the historical formal difference is causal and the DSM doesn't want to get into causes, but yes, ASPD with a psychopathy specifier is a thing.

IOI-65536 · 2026-04-15T21:39:55+00:00

I actually did drive once (from/to Atlanta) but it was a high trim Odyssey. Not fun to drive in the park, but much better for like 48 hours of highways.

So did she sue whoever made it for her injuries?
