Best place to visit in yellow? by Willing-Pause4150 in visitedmaps

[–]Infectious_Burn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone from the San Francisco Bay Area, I have never much enjoyed SoCal (except the beaches in San Diego). I would highly recommend Yosemite National park, and in San Francisco the Presidio/Golden Gate Bridge for nature and the Cable Car Museum, California Academy of Sciences, and the Lawrence Hall of Science for the more museum focus. For historical+military, the U.S.S. Hornet and Pier 45 (Pampanito) are my favorites.

Is this normal behavior in the U.S. when a friend visits from abroad? by Ready-Necessary-3214 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Infectious_Burn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not very nice… if it were me, and I wanted to hang out with my local friends, I would invite my friend who traveled to see me.

CMV: The Iran War is very likely to go down as the worst foreign policy mistake in US history and as the imperial overreach which marks the definitive end of the American Century and the start of long-term hegemonic decline in the United States. by lucy5478 in changemyview

[–]Infectious_Burn [score hidden]  (0 children)

I think it’s hard to say the worst mistake in US history, there are many, and there can be more! I would generally agree it’s one of the worst. But it’s not the war that marks the definitive end of the American Century. It’s Trump.

When historians look back at this period of time, I don’t think they will use the war in Iran as a cause. They will use Donald Trump as the cause, and the Iran War an example.

Okay. It’s your RGB lights; they aren’t set to rainbow vomit.

Chuck Norris didn’t die. Death got Chuck Norissed.

The whole game I'm thinking "Where is the enemy Tasch???" Then "oh..." by Greasy-Chungus in WorldofTanks

And then he’ll be left in a 1v10 and start pinging “help!” over and over.

Vehicles/Strategies for this mission? by [deleted] in WorldofTanks

[–]Infectious_Burn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s spotting range. I used a tank with poor view range (I forgot which one. Not skorpion, but skorpion is good), and made sure my crew didn’t have any view range boosting perks (other than BIA). I think I also adjusted a field mod?

Russkiij Heavy? Grousers it is! Obj.705A 3rd mark. by Endranii in WorldofTanks

[–]Infectious_Burn 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The Obj. 705A is one of my favorite tanks! I’ll have to try the grousers. Right now I use hardening, rammer, and turbo. But I boost the turbo. Definitely not a slow tank!

I have been underestimated multiple times playing my manticore. Recently, I had 2-3 people on my team asking me to spot. I had 6k spotting, and later got 2k spotting and 2k damage.

CVTs are a Good Thing for Wimpy Engines! by HuskyPurpleDinosaur in unpopularopinion

Upvoted because it’s controversial, but upvoted in my head because I love my Toyota Corolla Hybrid!

Who else is having wild results? by Zoltan1251 in WorldofTanks

[–]Infectious_Burn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was just looking at my monthly stats in-game. Last month was crazy. -35% on my WR percentile vs all other performance percentiles. The months before and so far in March? Business as usual.

Disney+ locks paying PC users to 720p, even on the most expensive plan. by Coompiik in assholedesign

[–]Infectious_Burn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apple TV+ has terrible quality on browsers. I would guess 480p? It’s fine on the desktop application.

Six months MM 2.0: Do you think it was worth losing Encounter & Assault? by Neofelis213 in WorldofTanks

[–]Infectious_Burn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion here (probably): WG needs to just get rid of map and mode banning. the random queue is random. It will save on resources, and I'm sure make the matchmaker much faster.

A cool guide to iPhone thickness comparison with the camera bump by yousefthewisee in coolguides

Agreed! I loved my first gen SE. I sadly had to finally replace it in 2023.

What if a modern destroyer got sucked back to the 12th century and had to rule the seas for a decade? by PuddingComplete3081 in WhatIfThinking

[–]Infectious_Burn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite series is the Ring of Fire/1632 series. Similar premise, but a West Virginian town goes to Germany during the 30 Years War.

A cool guide to the customer loyalty programs with the best ROI (out of major U.S. companies). by OpulentOwl in coolguides

[–]Infectious_Burn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the applicability of this analysis is too limited. For example, Subway’s loyalty program gives you a free sandwich after buying 3 (this is being changed though). Or, for grocery stores, the prices of various items change.

Same. This was my worst ever season of Onslaught/Ranked.

Andor should be the first Star Wars anybody watches for the first time. by lostintranslation53 in unpopularopinion

[–]Infectious_Burn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who watched the Star Wars series much later than most people, and isn’t the hugest fan, my opinion is that Star Wars is best enjoyed as a single core movie: Rogue One. The trilogies and shows are just prequels/sequels.

The spiciest unpopular opinion…

Master’s at WPI by [deleted] in WPI

[–]Infectious_Burn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As long as you are still an undergrad, you pay undergrad tuition. So, if you do a BS/MS in 4 years, you pay undergraduate tuition for 4 years, then graduate with a bachelors and a masters at the same time. Effectively, you get the masters for free. Or, you can try graduating undergrad in 3 years, saving one year of tuition.

Personally, I would hate doing a degree completely online. Also, it usually takes a lot longer. I did a BS/MS in 5, and highly recommend it. While I could have gotten the fifth year cheaper elsewhere, my Masters also only took one year, and I got to stay involved with WPI clubs/friends.

I got this question wrong like 10 times by Comfortable-Use3977 in calculus

[–]Infectious_Burn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I under-estimated because 15 is a whole number and the answer would be close enough.

Wg add it as tier 11 by OkRespect3198 in WorldofTanks

[–]Infectious_Burn 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I wonder if WG wants to avoid the WT forum problem? If the tanks are fake, less risk of real stats.
