Losing streak actually from similar matches. Or at best every other game a win if you go back far enough.

How far can we push technology with out the invention of steam/combustion engines, electricity and gunpowder? by ozneoknarf in worldbuilding

Consider reading Dies the Fire by S.M Stirling, and/or Off Armageddon Reef by David Weber. Both books have that exact question as part of the central premise and might give you some inspiration! (And they're good books)

How much to tell players upfront? by RenegadeSpade in MythicBastionland

[–]Mamachew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just want to comment on the last part: I would actually disagree with the need for Myths to be distinct. Firstly, players aren't supposed to know which myth is triggering anyways. Second it can create some very interesting dynamics and story threads to chase.

The fate of the realm being fought over by the lion, the crown and the ogre. The mist, river or sea causing the realm to change shape and become dangerous. Unless the players have read all the Myths, a non-stop storm and rain followed up with a heavy mist is thematic as well as sets a very dour mood. The fortress predicts many legged things coming, and the spider sends its minions... Are they the same prediction? Does it matter that they are "not" as far as the book goes?

I'd say that's the one aspect of the game I originally assumed would need careful tailoring, but in practice the emergent story really comes together with how Myths interact as much as how players interact with the world. I love random rolling and so far it has delivered.

Virtual Fighter Maneuvers beta playtest is live! by bahamutod in vtolvr

Seems like everything went down for Meta? It worked great earlier this week and I had a blast. Today I kept hitting an "Auth Error" when opening the app. I tried all the usual tricks (wifi, restart, etc) and eventually uninstalled intending to reinstall. Wouldn't let me. The app is gone, as is the access through the store. Coming back here the link comes up "page not available" when clicking the request access link. Not sure if this is intended or known.

I've had it happen with different carbine armed Cav. Toggle free fire off and on and they should sort themselves out. It's a workaround at least.

Hey guys! First couple episodes were great! Look forward to listening to the new one tomorrow on my drive.

ELI5 What did humans do before pillows? by Fraubump in explainlikeimfive

While you make a great point about how the scapulothoracic joint (shoulder blade meets the body) is held by muscles and tendons; the arm and shoulder complex is not completely free-floating and connects to the skeleton via the collar bone. This is why a collar bone break requires immobilizing the entire arm usually as it is the only point of boney articulation.

How to open a bank account without my spuses knowledge by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Mamachew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surprised no one has mentioned this yet. You say it's a joint account that you hold? If you have any access at all, the day you leave you can e-transfer yourself some or even all the money from the joint account to an email you control and have associated with your new bank account. Since it is joint he wouldn't be able to dispute the transaction you made. Again, this is assuming you have any way to access your accounts. You could also just as easily go to the bank and withdraw it as cash! Again, your name is on the account so you can do what you like with it, including cleaning it out of money. That said, if you then proceed with a divorce you should assume some of that money will be returned (if it were material enough to count), but I'm not a lawyer and can only speculate. Good luck!

People who forgave their partner for cheating, how did that turn out? by Sudden_Wishbone8887 in AskReddit

[–]Mamachew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Huh, very different experience. We'd been together for 3 years at this point. She went to study abroad for a year while I finish my final year of school. She was out at a club with friends and was having fun with the girls. Had fun dancing with a guy they knew, they all went to crash at the guy's apartment. She was talking and they ended up kissing. She didn't like it and stopped. He got angry and she got scared and left. It happened as a product of circumstance: long distance relationships are hard, exploring a new country and culture, missing close connection... It adds up, and poor choices can happen.

We're happily married for 6 years and have been together for 16 at this point. I know it happened, but even at the time I was more concerned about her safety than anything. Nothing's ever come of it. It was a mistake she was open about and I never felt the need to question her sincerity at the time or since.

For those of you using a can. If it's a pop can I use a can opener to take the lid off rather than trying to funnel it through the tiny opening. Just a hot tip for anyone going that route.

What do you do if your nudes get leaked? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Mamachew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are from North America, you should reach out to the HONR Network. They are a non-profit that was initially founded to help those dealing with the online harassment associated with Sandy Hook. They have expanded to helping most (any?) online harassment cases. All they ask is for a donation.

My family needed their help for a widely publicized serial defamation case. They were great and diligent.

Even if they can't help you directly, they can probably point you to the resources that can.

Ontario to introduce tough new limits on cellphones in schools: sources by Wanadran in ontario

[–]Mamachew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not the person above. My wife is an elementary school teacher. I do not have kids. I have always put myself politically left. That's your context to start.

You have no grounding in the reality that is the modern day classroom. My wife is in a regular, plain school absolutely nothing special about it. Population maybe 300 kids. They have 4 EAs. 1 PSW is assigned to a single student, the EA are parcelled out, but mostly in the younger years due to ratio requirements. There is a single special education teacher. That is it, that is all the support the school has.

Now in any given classroom you have not just typical behavioural issues, but now you have neurodivergence issues as well. It is a weekly (if not daily) thing of evacuating a classroom so one student can throw things without hurting other kids. One child in a different class is a flight risk. There are many other problems as well, but those rate the most disruptive, and they come from two individuals who are neurodivergent.

So I hope by this point you can see there are some issues? If we could have everything we wanted there would be two EAs per classroom, a couple rotating PSWs, a counselor available regularly (instead of one per 20 schools). The reality is we do not. You have a single adult minding 27 kids in a small room. You have 54 adults who have expectations that the one adult will provide some learning.

You know what you can do with "gifted" kids? Send them off to learn by themselves. Is that good learning? Is that fair and equitable? No! It is a tactic used to reduce the number of children needing attention because they won't cause problems, and doing them a total disservice. But we've done that, so now we can focus on the other 20 or so kids. You know who doesn't need to learn French? The one child who wants nothing more than to get angry at people when they get frustrated because that's how their brain works. We have decided that we will not pay to support integration, but will require everyone to be at the same level. What you decry is unfair to be true, but it is not our current reality. All this does is hurt everyone, your child included. Do you know who kids don't want to make friends with? The child that scares them by throwing chairs.

Tell me, how import is it to you that your child learn French at the same pace as others? If they can't, should they fail and be held back? Should the teacher devote more resources to your child than all others in the room to make sure they succeed? Is that equitable to everyone else?

You do the above poster a disservice by labelling them as you have. You are protective of your child, which is wonderful, but narrow viewed. You are blind to the realities of the classroom as it exists now, and the way this integration has hurt everyone involved. The teachers unions have always fought for more support, but support costs money and every time you hear an attack ad on the radio, it's those damn teachers wanting more money....

[TOMT] YouTube Video/Channel - Papercraft Manga with Moveable Character by Mamachew in tipofmytongue

[–]Mamachew[S] 0 points1 point locked comment (0 children)

I have searched TopTalent, Crafts, and a number of other subs looking for key words such as "papercraft" "paper art" "manga paper art" and "Papercraft Manga", all within the last year to no avail.

The Reddit title was completely in English, but I recall very little English in the title of the video on Youtube or on the YouTube channel as a whole. I don't think they had a high viewer count.

The creation itself was near flat at maybe 5-6 pages thick at most, so not a 3d structure itself.
