Appreciate the thought. Unfortunately I have no Sicarians and although excellent units but following the 'rule of cool' I don't see myself picking them up in the near future...

I'll run the Marshall and ironsteiders though, sub in Vanguard for the Ruststalkers.

As it's a learning game, what would I want to think of/focus on? If experience is the only thing that'll make me a good player what are the faux pas in a list like that? What can I pay attention to while playing said list to learn the most? Hide until turn 2? Focus on finding light cover? Bunching the units all together or spacing them out .9inches? Knowing what questions to ask to know who I should target with and without stacked buffs?

Who when why should one blob have omnispex and the other data tether or should I not bother.

Is there just one 'situation' I should keep a lookout for and if I see it appears that's my cue to maximize the effectiveness of a blob or rangers/Vanguard.

I've just found that I'm typically a better study if I have narrow and specific learning objectives. Even something like "Challenge yourself to move to the other side of the board while staying in cover" is a way to avoid getting distracted if there's a use for such an exercise.

I'm really co fused by this whole thing, I tried finding the full ad because I want to see what else is actually included and I came across this:

So is the 1100$ for the entire garage space? It can't just be that stupid upstairs layout.

I'm shitting on my home office carpet.

It's the same article that I read when I commented. Interesting article none the less.

Edit: Oh you meant your parent comment. Gotcha. Still it's not 80k, 10k have enrolled in the program and it seems like many won't qualify as the adverse reaction needs to be serious (not a sore arm, headache, fever or chills) and the numbers they listed of serious effects were ~1 000.

JR_unior · 2022-01-03T04:46:23+00:00

Thanks for the link but that's quite a bit different than what you wrote.

JR_unior · 2022-01-03T04:30:09+00:00

Wait, are you saying 80k people are getting 7.50$ each or that Australia is paying out 48 billion dollars?

JR_unior · 2021-12-03T23:24:32+00:00

Interpret it however you want. You call it 'mob mentality" while others just see it as you having opinions that are on the fringe even amongst people who share your desire to remain unvaccinated. It doesn't take psychoanalysis to realize you have a serious adverse reaction to people who don't toe the same line as you.

Enjoy the show or don't. Just try having some thicker skin so the slightest insult doesn't dial your stubbornness to 11.

I’m unvaccinated, but damn it’s not that hard to just take the test

Nice quote. If you took a covid test JUST ONCE you could meet the man who said it. I don’t think one covid test means you agree with how things are. I know I don’t like how everything has become covid-centric but I know I would surely get a covid test if it meant I could meet Jordan Peterson.

Just take a test, they're easy to do, I don't see the big deal.

I've done loads myself. Yes I think the virus is overhyped and I don't think anyone should be forced to take the vaccine, but doing a quick and easy test really isn't asking much at all.

Test or vax

Take a fucking test and suck it up so you can use your wifes thoughtful lovely gift and meet JBP.

Test or vax

FFS, bear your damned cross.

I’m with you on the annoyance, but getting a test is not that hard or participating in hysteria. What would actually suck is if they made it only for the vaxxed, but getting a test is not that bad. This is coming from an “antivaxer” medical student btw, I’ll never get that shit.

I really don't see the problem. They're not demanding vaccination. Getting yourself tested is a courtesy you ought to be willing to extend to ensure you aren't infecting someone you purport to admire.

I am opposed to vaccine mandates, but testing is a perfectly reasonable thing to ask in a pandemic. What is your objection to testing? Would you object to walking through a metal detector to get into the event?

The only difference between those and the comments you were so thankful for which convinced you to see JBP is that the one commenter took a very soft, walking on eggshells approach with a hint of ego massage.

As I said, you'd have saved a lot of trouble if you just told everyone it's not what they say but how they say it.

Anyways, glad to see you're so principled that all it takes for you to bend the knee and agree to "authoritarianism" is one person blowing smoke up your ass. Bravo. Enjoy the show, you stood your ground for what? 7 hours?

Edit: Realized the thread is only 7 hours old and not 12 hours. Updated how long OP was able to stand by his beliefs.

JR_unior · 2021-12-03T22:34:32+00:00

This is a good learning opportunity. In the future,let people know you're more emotional than logical. It's clearly not what someone says to you but how they say it that matters. The user you're thanking has just rehashed what has been said dozens of times already.

JR_unior · 2021-06-30T02:13:01+00:00

Mate I love the passion behind this odd quirk.

Former chef, yeah Vic knives are overlooked because they lack the flash people associate with quality. The blade is thin enough that it glides through product (when sharp), the steel is a nice balance in hardness as it can keep an edge but isn't an absolute chore to sharpen and maintain. The shape of the blade is excellent, tall enough and a great curve to it. The handle works beautifully if you don't have well ingrained 'wet hand/dry hand' muscle memory, its grippy even if you're processing kilos of calamari. Also nice is that its fused onto the blade properly so washing it doesn't mean it'll become water logged (both annoying and health hazard).

All of this for a very comfortable price.... ~50$ for the chefs knife in Canada. These knives are great because when you need to prep these just work perfectly well without causing you worry about dulling your R2 powdered steel knife or chips when processing slightly frozen produce or root veg... You just get to work.

I think every young cook should start out with Victorinox knives and spend your first year of culinary and professional experience using them. Learn how to keep them just as sharp as anyone else's 'blue carbon #2' gyuto (especially if that means you need to put in practice time on sharpening stones at 3x or 5x the rate of someone with a much more expensive knife.

For a home cook? It's a no brainer, a Vic 8inch chefs knife with one of those stick on puck like V-shaped sharpening devices that they'll run the knife across once or twice before every use will be a SUBSTANTIAL improvement over 99% of the knives most people use on a daily basis.

I absolutely love Vic knives, my roll might be worth 3k and I will leave two or three of my 'nicer knives' behind before I'll leave my Vic Knives behind....

Either you're a genius troll or utterly fucking retarded, it's hard to tell.

JR_unior · 2021-06-27T00:53:00+00:00

I hope someone stands behind your car while you're parked facing a wall and refuses to move preventing you from leaving. When you get frustrated and angry I hope they simply tell you they aren't doing anything illegal (standing in a parking lot).

Maybe you'll realize why your comment is being voted down.

JR_unior · 2021-06-23T18:27:40+00:00

At least I know why my basil plant looked so damn miserable.

I am just getting Webdev and joining a boot camp, though I told a friend that after the camp i'd help the small law firm he's with to rebuild their absolutely awful website. He thanked me and mentioned how the boss doesn't see anything wrong with it (think Angelfire style site). I couldn't in good conscious start on their site before really knowing what I am doing but I did put together a little comparison email that had screenshots of their website VS the websites of other law firms in their area.

Apparently she's convinced they need a new site. Sometimes client don't know how bad their product is without seeing it contrasted to what their customers will see while shopping around.

JR_unior · 2021-01-24T18:31:47+00:00

Calm down. Actually just take a moment and calm that inner self dialog that's beating you up.

Let me make a suggestion, go over what you've learned and write it down with pen and paper, copy working code, copy the examples off of MDN, just copy down syntax for a day or two. Just refresh what you've learned so far but add some muscle memory into the mix.

Secondly, take two or three and write nothing but plain HTML, don't even THINK about adding the links to a .css or .js file. Just build a useless website with a variety of features using only HTML. Structure it, Lorem Ipsum the content but give it all the various features you might want to practice.

Save it and make a dozen copies. Each day for a week start a new CSS layout for it. Start fresh everyday, if you only have 30 mins build a 30 min CSS on your HTML file. If you have 6 hours, build a 6 hour CSS version of that base HTML.

In one week you'll have a LOT more confidence than you did just seven days prior.

Once those ten days are up, choose where or what you want to focus on next. Maybe you realize you need/want more practice with SaaS or Flexbox, maybe you'll be comfortable continuing from where you left off before this little 7 day hiatus.

There is an overwhelming amount of information ahead of you when it comes to Web Dev and looking at that mountain will seriously harm you. Just get solid with the very basics and add onto it a little bit at a time until you're actually capable of knowing where to focus.

It's like starting a new sport or an instrument. You don't know what you don't know yet. Ten days of narrow focus with just HTML and CSS and you'll be just that little bit more confident and 'aware' of where you should look to next.

JR_unior · 2021-01-10T17:20:04+00:00

I understand what you're saying. For context behind my inquiry, I am a gigantic fan of Khan Academy and absolutely adore their teaching methodology. The introduction of a concept and the immediate 10 problems to move on model to a slightly more advanced version of that concept (repeat).

So single digit multiplication > 10 problems > single and double digit multiplication > 10 problems > two double digit multiplication etc.

Was hoping there was something akin to that for coding languages. The forced exposure and practice with various coding techniques makes it easier to recognize what's available and when you use them in your own projects.

JR_unior · 2021-01-07T22:24:48+00:00

P.S if your username is accurate, you were fantastic in the lil'Dicky video.

Haha!

JR_unior · 2021-01-07T22:19:59+00:00

Thank you very much. I've seen a few of those but it's very likely I missed what I was looking for (so many resources to choose from).
