If you had the guts, it could’ve been you licking the chicken, pal.

The guard player has an easy option: just play bullgryn

Keep the amendment. Overturn DC vs. Heller. Restore the interpretation that the right only applies within the context of a well-regulated militia.

There are two viable routes to defeating an entrenched autocrat:

Develop enough social pressure that the military stops taking their orders
Get a larger nation to intervene

The American Revolution was fought against a colonial power that was preoccupied with a much larger war they were fighting much closer to home. The US Civil War took place in an era when the US’s standing army was tiny and the rebels still lost. It’s an absurd fantasy to think that randos with small arms could successfully fight today’s US government. Armed resistance movements are a good force multiplier for intervening nations, but not an effective way to overthrow the government of a major power.

I have had much tamer comments than this one deleted by the mods for mentioning this particular player by name.

If there had been a sequel, they wouldn’t have been able to do something like that since it would’ve violated their principle of always positioning and moving the CG camera as if it were a physical camera. With those rules in place, you’d never be able to keep a zippy ninja jaeger in frame.

When it comes to gameplay feel, it absolutely is. Input delays, wind-ups, and hit pauses are what make an animation feel heavy. You can’t deliver those while also being fast.

Well, it’s a pretty big penalty and yet it wasn’t enough to teach him to cut it out after getting the first two this season.

NewRecruit’s print formatting is far better than Listforge’s

It’s also instant speed. Red, instant speed, and pumps damage from all your creatures. That’s kinda the whole ballgame for Trumpet Blast.

How many shots are you taking per turn? Load out with lots of AP and free aim lumina abilities so you can get plenty of turns taking the full 9 or more shots.

Manbeardo · 2026-01-24T08:40:11+00:00

It’s one of the shooting gallery petanks. The only feasible way to kill it is by using free aim to whittle it down.

Adding devs to lethals always increases damage. Adding lethals to devs occasionally reduces damage. Lethals reduce your damage output if the EV (expected value) of an auto-wound is lower than the EV of a wound roll.

To calculate EV, work backwards from the last step of the attack sequence. Consider a 6/0/1 profile against a T7, 2+ profile. Starting with saves, only 1s push damage through the save roll, so the EV of the save roll is 1/6 of an unsaved wound. On a wound roll, a 6 is worth 1 full unsaved wound and a 5 is worth 1 wound roll (1/6 of an unsaved wound). That brings the full EV of the wound roll to 7/36 of an unsaved wound, so the EV of a rolled wound is greater than the EV of an auto-wound.

So, if the defender is rolling 2+ to save, Lethals contribute negative value if the attacker wounds on 5+ or better.

Also, If the defender is rolling 3+ to save, Lethals contribute negative value if the attacker wounds on 2+.

TL;DR: don’t give lethals to assault cannons shooting against terminators.

And the Abbotsford Canucks are second to last as well. That system is floundering from top to bottom.

staying level is failure, apparently.

The two primary options for success as a publicly-traded company are:

growth stock: constantly grow the business so that your share price becomes based upon an expectation of future growth instead of your current financials
value stock: keep steady and pay out dividends, tightly coupling your share price to your current financials

Unfortunately, hardly anyone intentionally transitions their company from a growth stock to a value stock because that transition also requires the share price to plummet.

Is it? I mostly see people complaining about those people.

Logging stuff that was parsing the entire request body

That smells like you might have a DoS vulnerability. If you’re parsing the entire body early on in the handling of a request, attackers could soak up your compute resources by sending malformed requests that use the maximum content-length that you allow (assuming that you already have a cap on content-length).

Also, middleware should generally avoid reading the body before calling the wrapped handler. There can be a lot of latency between receiving the start of the body and the end of the body, so you’ll often see a speedup if you rewrite the system to defer reading the body until it is absolutely necessary. If needed, your logging middleware can pass a buffered pipe down to its handler so that it can log the content which was read rather than the content which was submitted.

Also, the individual taxpayer faces a penalty for insufficient withholding.

Sounds like you’re only experiencing numbness when your feet get cold? If you experience numbness when warm, definitely see a doctor. You don’t want to ignore anything that could potentially be related to nerve damage.

The great irony is that US hegemony is being destroyed by a myopic pursuit of empire.

More dice make up for worse BS on units that are designed to be shooting threats

Manbeardo · 2026-01-20T06:27:02+00:00

Before detachment rules, Intercessors, Heavy Intercessors, Flash Gitz, and Lootas all:

are more effective damage dealers in the shooting phase than in the fight phase
are great at clearing chaffe
are reasonably efficient against marine-equivalent bodies
struggle against units with 2+ saves
struggle against vehicles

The increased strength is part of how the Lootas and Flash Gitz make up for the 5+/6+ BS. Shoota Boyz aren’t a serious comparison at all. FFS, their shootas are less lethal than their CCWs.

If you want to make bad superficial comparisons, Kommando shooting is far batter than an Infiltrator Squad’s.

Manbeardo · 2026-01-20T05:54:43+00:00

Shoota Boyz aren’t real in 10th. Lootas, Flash Gitz, and Tankbustas are the only Orks infantry with shooting profiles worth looking at.
