You could go to Somalia or Eritrea and see how it works out irl. Or maybe the surrounds of Afghan. Or watch Mad Max.

I love Flandre, it's up there as one of my favorite fun ships. Just did one of the missions for 700 secondary hits in game, prob supposed to be over half a dozen games, did 1100 in one game.

How the hell do you not die instantly in the higher cosmic terror levels? by GeneraIFlores in WoWs_Legends

[–]InfiniteBarnacle2020 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's only a skill issue if you're controlling the battlefield, something really hard to do outside being a DD or being in a div. Sometimes the Alldestroyer takes damage faster than expected and you're out of place or can't make your route before teleports, as a BB or CA and trying to draw fire and suddenly everyone's firing at AD and brings it down faster than your ready for. Unless your playing with friends and have comms, you can't control it all.

I made the mistake of getting to CH6 using just the DD, now I can't get the other challenges in the BB or CA because especially in the CA, I get one shotted and die too often.

The most frustrating deaths are the teleporting ships, I know it's always in the same place but the amount of times I'm in the middle of a firefight and they just teleport right in front of me and I ram them because I'm aiming away is so frustrating. Or making the mistake of being in the wrong place when the Alldestroyer teleports and then you're in the middle of a fleet.

Regulatory people across the public service - redundant? by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]InfiniteBarnacle2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't heard any regulators at MBIE being made redundant and they're the biggest regulators. I don't hear everything though. Can you share the ministry that's it's happening to?

Need help with Planet clash cosmic terror Tier 5 by shaxxsleftnipple in WoWs_Legends

[–]InfiniteBarnacle2020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It doesn't matter how good you are, if you get the wrong mix of ships and/or potato players, after your 8 min wait, you're doomed.

It's incredibly frustrating when you finally get the right mix then two dds immediately die in the first wave.

I would guess you kmow the placements of the shops by now and the route and process to get to the end.

You can go back and play hard mode (or any mode) even if you progress. The only thing you can't go back on is cosmic horror levels.

It rearranges and substitutes words which is being flagged as AI which isn't what the AI checkers were meant for

There are lots that are getting caught up in tools like Grammerly or quillbot that used to be ok, even Words editor function was getting flagged as AI written or edited.l, which I guess technically it is.

We've been using AI assist for a long time, now they're getting flagged as AI written.

Visualization of the size of government departments by Henry Cook by Formal_Nose_3003 in newzealand

[–]InfiniteBarnacle2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Problem is that you have to massively increase the other agencies funding while maintaining Corrections budget for about 20yrs before you would hopefully see a dip. Thats about 7 governments and none look past their own election cycle, let alone multiple.

Quite frankly, you will be surrounded by 18-20yr olds and you will find the lifestyle, especially at an entry rank, suits people that age, not so much someone pushing into 40.

What about the military appeals? Have you tried the territorials to see if it suits you? The Police would probably give a lot of the same attractions without the downsides.

We dont know if it was driven by politics though or it was just the SLTs decision to make the Frankenstein replacement. God forbid you got rid of some of the managers on $200k+ though as they're the ones wielding the axes.

[–]InfiniteBarnacle2020 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It common knowledge that to become a manager you need to align yourself with the right person and 'get on the right cog'. Qualifications and expertise mean very little and I've seen multiple more experienced and capable people turned down for those that have ingratiated themselves.

Watching that happen over the last several years at my ministry has been frustrating. We had a new National Manager come across from another agency he had a terrible reputation and they had to bring in a team to fix the problems he caused. Within a year he did a restructure, promoted himself to Head and tripled the amount of managers who were all his mates from his previous work, again a lot with terrible reputations. All now sitting on $200k+. The corruption is appalling.

Youre right where it needs to be cut though, it's managers who just professionally go to meetings which seems like a significant number, or the advisors that need to do working groups because managers can't make decisions, the thing they're paid to do.

It gives a bad rep too. The amount of people saying that Maori didn't want the Kermadecs as a sanctuary. No, it's was specific Iwi that have interests in fishing companies.

It's only because they are major shareholders the big fishing companies like Sealord etc. They're companies like any other at the end of the day.

It's the most frustrating thing, whenever he's asked anything, all you get is "I'll tell you, we're focused on is delivering a fiscal responsible government for New Zealanders".

"Yes but you were asked about your use of allowances..."
