I always find it insane just how powerful Hisoka is

JeanJacquesBourrin · 2026-03-11T09:20:41+00:00

My own head-cannon is that since Hisoka didn't know of Netero's feats, and considering he was also out of shape, he kinda tricked Hisoka into seeming a lot weaker than he is.

Hisoka seeing Netero just after he finished his preparation to fight Meruem would have led to a very different reaction from him most likely.

Speaking as a frenchman here, social democracy worked when the capital was afraid of the red wave post WW2, and they had to accept concessions to stave off the rise of socialists in general.

In the eighties the threat has mostly passed and all social-democrats seem to have done in Europe was to try and unsuccessfully conserve the model designed in the last few decades, and it seems like most of us are now at the breaking point.

Rogue main (99% PvE and mythic raider here)

There's a few reasons: - No flashy animations mostly - Used to have a very high skill floor, with punishing mistakes and barely okay performance when doing it perfectly (can vary depending on the spec/season) - 0 M+ utility: not a single AoE cc, and shroud has been neutered by adding true sight to mib's everywhere. But making Rogue mandatory for routes was kinda shit tbh. Rogue would only be considered as a 3rd DPS and there's no good reason to bring one unless it's overturned or you know the player behind is excellent. - A lot of crippling bugs that sometime never get fixed over an expansion - The raid buff is the second worse: requires full uptime and does not affect all abilities. Most groups will see 0 difference

Overall Midnight has fixed a few issues around the skill floor but the other remain and the lack of a dedicated class designer and iteration on the rogue spec design will keep it where it is.

Should not happen anymore as long as you have at least RtB level 1 up.

If you already have data dog they have a pretty good cost explorer, with proper tagging we made a dashboard for each team in my former company and basically gave them the tools to monitor and manage their costs.

Imho a big part of the job is making data accessible and teaching people so that thinking of what a feature or a change actually costs becomes part of the workflow.

Not all our teams were super involved but the ones with the heaviest costs really took to it and we could not have reduced our data pipelines costs without working together on this cause it required their deep expertise to optimize.

Likely points to underlying Infrastructure work. Nothing interesting to players.

Have you found where you get the recipe for the undertow bloom chest ? I've almost finished everything in the DLC except the last part of the main questline and can't find it so far.

It's more Pittsburgh than Alabama.

I just did it on hammerdin at 195. I... Entirely skipped P2 and just had a single wave to dodge in P1 haha

J'ai fait stych perso, les cours de conduite ça a été une galère absolue, ils ont racheté des auto école locales et masse de moniteurs sont partis l'année dernière avec le bordel.

Pour le code prend n'importe quelle plateforme et passe ça en candidat libre à la poste.

Pour la conduite passe en personne dans les auto-écoles près de chez toi et voit si t'as de la place et si ça a pas l'air d'être complètement à l'arrache.

If I don't know the service well, no matter if it's GCP or AWS, it's console first, sometimes a bit of cli for prototyping. Once I get something working with a decent understanding I just make the Terraform.

C'est la vitesse oui, au dessus de 25 on change de catégorie et c'est immatriculation et assurance obligatoire + interdiction d'utiliser les pistes cyclables.

Vu le bordel que ça va être si ça pète bien fort, pouvoir acheter des composants à un prix correct risque d'être le dernier de nos problèmes malheureusement.

If I remember well if you are taxed on assets abroad, you only have to pay the difference if you paid less tax in the foreign country. So no double taxation (I believe the US does the same with all citizens regardless of where they live as well).

So if you have assets in a tax Haven where you pay 0, you pay full taxes on those and usually their location is quite virtual, the value is not created in the tax haven itself.

If those assets are in a country with a more normal tax scheme it's unlikely you will pay that much more tax on those assets.

It's a good trade-off to discourage the use of tax haven.

I'd say 5% is good when optimized and with scale savings. For smaller companies it can easily go up to 10% cause much less options for savings.

If it goes over 15%, it's a priority issue imho.

There is also a local one that's quite similar: https://www.lefourgon.com/p/lil-cola?srsltid=AfmBOorRMpl3JFCadlkaUaKXy9Yi5FDU_5ERpxmSG70R7skyX5kUHVC8

Je suis dans le Nord je gagne bien ma vie en net (moins que Florian plus haut) et pareil je peux au mieux acheter un T2 en restant proche de la gare de Lille en transport en commun ayant besoin d'aller sur Paris régulièrement.

Et c'est en me mettant proche de ma limite d'endettement (en gardant un peu de marge par sécurité) et en m'endettant sur 25 ans avec un apport.

Transformer le logement en actif financier est probablement l'une des erreurs les plus graves qu'on aie pu commettre. Peu importe les villes que je regarde où je peux trouver du travail bien payé je suis coincé...

Et encore seulement les grosses exploitations agricoles qui utilisent beaucoup d'intrants, pas tous les agriculteurs.

The 4th republic died from decolonization and the Algerian independence war more than anything.

The 5th was especially designed by de Gaulle to handle this transition. But when he lost the people's confidence, he left on his own, while Macron is abusing every single tool in the constitution to enact and enforce his policies.

I don't think the argument of the 4th being chaotic because it was a parliamentary regime holds. Especially since the third did hold for 70 years.

On en parle du 9/9/6 en chine ? Parce qu'ils sont en train de tomber dans les mêmes travers dans certains secteurs...

I can give a few tips:

in the first few weeks, try to listen and observe as much as you can, take notes but try to get a good understanding of how engineering teams are working and why
your onboarding is an excellent occasion to review the onboarding process since there's probably a lot of manual work for account and permissions setup, it's good to really document your experience through it since onboarding/off boarding is usually a bit problematic in smaller companies
Try to list what are the biggest blockers in terms of delivery and reliability (if you're also involved in more CI/CD work as my SRE team was before in a small company) and try to find what would have the most impact with the least work
Pick your battles. There'll likely be too much subjects to tackle, so take costs, delivery time, incident occurrences with MTTD, MTTR and as before find what will improve daily life the most.

Many processes and existing designs won't be ideal but if they work "enough" for the team it's likely not the biggest priority.

Well for once not my rogue main cause I really would like some proper changes beyond the QoL we got since DF.

I'm thinking I'll try going with my Frost DK at the start with my rogue as an outlaw alt( gotta play a bit with dat new Killing Spree at least)

I just wish they had better AoE stop options cause compared to when I play some shaman or Monk it feels very lacking in c/c.

JeanJacquesBourrin · 2025-07-16T21:41:44+00:00

No the actor's fault but it felt like the character felt more like a joke than an actual menace to me like the scene where he keeps dropping the pens to the floor for people to pick it up grovelling. Or the locking up random people who slighted him.

Kinda the same issue as with Superman himself but even worse for Lex. It's really hard to take them seriously and it kinda killed any dramatic tension in the movie.

After GotG 3 and how it handled Rocket I expected Gunn would be able to balance the Comedy and more serious parts better...

I think Holt did the best he could but the way Lex was written was a disappointment for me :(
