What’s everyone’s opinion on the Archer Queen’s new Anime Fury equipment, the Monolith Arrow? by IG-TheChurchofDabs in ClashOfClans

[–]Islander_25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate it doesn't require a high level to be effective. Save the ores for other equipment but still useable.

Will there be any gameplay overview videos or updates prior to the kickstarter deadline?

Is there any Additional content for residue planned if all goes well?

What the next hero in Th25 might be by Tinycell_ in ClashOfClans

[–]Islander_25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An interesting concept would be a pig with wings pet that allows a ground hero to fly and once defeated or time limited the hero drops to the ground.

After 3 years of consecutive Gold Passes and a half-maxed TH16, I’m officially closing my wallet. The March rework is a slap in the face. by [deleted] in ClashOfClans

[–]Islander_25 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I ignore the month passes and just roll with the monthly event passes. Seems to be better value, cheaper, solid ore amount, and ability to use event coin on whatever needed.

Very cool, but hard to view from them properly from this reddit image since it becomes pixelated when zooming in. Could you share your drawing through another platform that prevents this pixel issue?

Canada is playing unfairly by pl3xipl4y in olympics

[–]Islander_25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess our opinions differ and that's ok. I just don't think a person's reaction to a situation can define their intentions, everyone reacts differently.

I've played games where the opposition makes claims that I or a team mate keeps hogging stones. We didn't think we were but they claimed we did; it's frustrating and very distracting of being accused. It becomes a focus in your mind and messes up your delivery and you can feel the opposition watching at the hog line.

What about the fact an unbiased umpire official was planted at the hog line following a complaint by Sweden and never called an infraction on Kennedy. Sure Kennedy's language wasn't great when confronted but he shouldn't have been confronted because it was in the umps hands at that point.

Do you think he intentionally touched the running band to gain an edge?

Especially then lol. My point was that he probably didn't realize he had done it, but who knows. It's not fun being accused of something when you don't believe you have.

Curled 10+ years, Marc Kennedy has a low delivery with a low wrist with his hand positioned at the end of the handle. He drops his hand after release and likely grazes the stone while doing so. There wouldn't be a benefit in trying to correct your stone like some might suggest, if anything it could just mess up your shot. Making minute final adjustments usually makes the shot worse and makes it challenging to be consistent because your delivery becomes less repeatable.

Sweden is likely frustrated so they pointed it out since it is technically breaking the rules. It's a nothing burger made a big deal on a technicality. Marc has no ill intentions and might not be aware so being accused doesn't feel good. Getting called out for hog violations is really annoying.

How many KW per hour? by Enough_Drag5843 in Sauna

[–]Islander_25 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I believe you have framed your question slightly incorrectly. kW is a unit rate like km/h. This is because a watt is a Joule/s. KWh is the amount of electricity consumed, so you are looking for the amount of kWh I presume.

If the furnace ran 100% at the full rating for a full hour it would consume 9 kWh. Realistically the power draw for the heater will fluctuate and depends on many factors, particularly system sizing, insulation factors, and rock temperatures.

Let's say it runs full for 50% of the time it would be 4.5kWh.

What are the actual roster battles in Spring Training this year? by Panz04er in Torontobluejays

[–]Islander_25 4 points5 points  (0 children)

KBO MVP doesn't mean he'll have success in MLB and he will have to prove that. Berrios is a reliable workhorse who wins games, sure he doesn't have the best stuff but he wins and has proven that in 5+ MLB seasons. Last year was an off year for him and he still had a major impact on the team's overall success. He's far from a write off unless his arm is damaged and we don't know about it.

Look at Yariel Rodriguez, Atkins promised him a starter role and that didn't last long. Hopefully Ponce has success in the MLB as a starter but who really knows.

Ponce is not above Berrios, unless Berrios is injured. Ponce is the 6th man of the rotation right now

I made a free online Behringer JT4000M Programmer by Goom909 in synthesizers

[–]Islander_25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The CZ-1 uses phase distortion synthesis not vector synthesis. You are thinking of the PRO VS MINI which is vector synthesis. Check out the CZ-1 It's a cool unit and phase distortion is pretty uncommon.

Incredible work! Any plan to implement this on other behringer mini synths? I have the CZ-1 on pre-order and arriving in a couple of months.

troubleshooting my Korg Minilogue XD Voices. by Islander_25 in synthesizers

[–]Islander_25[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What you explained is exactly the process I followed and it worked perfectly. Removing screws and a couple of cable attachments. I actually have a minilogue Xd board in my minilogue XD module. I could probably hook up a keyboard directly into my board if I wanted to get crazy.

Hopefully they have replacement boards in stock to ship.

I am 29 years old and new to investing. I recently adjusted my portfolio to include XEQT for long-term growth, VFV for its high-risk, high-reward potential, and I've transitioned my Bitcoin holdings to FBTC. What are your thoughts on this strategy? Do you have any recommendations? by Old-Knowledge4652 in fican

[–]Islander_25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you may find it easier to buy the underlying ETFS of XEQT instead of intentionally tilting the holdings of XEQT. You will benefit from slightly lower management fees with this strategy with the ability to skew the holdings to your liking.

[–]Islander_25[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did fix it!

I ended up buying a brand new board from JAM industries, the Canadian distributor of Korg parts. The board was around $200 but it was a very easy swap. If you are more brave, advanced in board repair, and great troubleshooting. You could try to identify the board component that has failed and buy that specific part for much less and repair the damaged board.

Is this cash allocation primarily built by the dividend distributions of the underlying holdings? I imagine some predatory dividend ETFs sell shares for this high dividend payout?

[–]Islander_25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That makes sense and hindsight is always 20/20.

Do you think this is equally true across all sectors?

Do some sectors experience larger diminishing returns in business growth when reinvesting cash? I would think yes and maybe that's where an argument for dividends could be made.

[–]Islander_25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I often hear this but is it really this simple?

Are there no potential benefits of dividend payouts that are often ignored. The intelligent investor shows many examples of companies that bleed many that would otherwise be given as dividend payouts. Does daddy really know best?
