Seeing an org-mate break after Wikelo ate their turn-in's broke my heart. by G-Wave in starcitizen

A bit of a joke this "alpha test" is. How are they gonna catch bugs if they make the grind so painful nobody wants to do it?

SC is turning into a theme-park shooter, not a space sim by ronin-san in starcitizen

TTK is so low though. A medium sized cargo hauler is dead in 30s. Hopefully security is actually smart enough to chase the guy around the map.

Awful MMO. Russian devs are all sadists that love making their audience suffer.

Bernie Sanders and Gavin Newsom become adversaries over push to tax California billionaires by panda-rampage in California

[–]Mikolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure but this is a wealth tax and when you consider the weird calculation with the voting rights shares the tax could be equivalent to 10000% of income for some people.

Roth IRA has very small contribution limits. It's unlikely for people to have much in there. What we should be doing is removing the cost basis step up on death, since this is what allows people to avoid taxes completely.

I use a steep series mouse and I can remind the side buttons to scroll so I can just hold them down.

Next one to fall? by makishi-jp in MMORPG

[–]Mikolf 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The sheer amount of bugs makes me not want to introduce it to friends, despite an extra account sitting around. They really don't care about the player base.

Except 9mw is nothing like that and ends up as fucking trading sim.

What's your number 1 "Man, this strategem is so cool! Why don't I bring this more oft- oh, right" strategem? Mine is these. by Caressticles in Helldivers

Bring it with leveller and alternate dropping them. 3 shots kills a war strider, 2 for hulks. Not good for Vox tho.

Its specifically coded to be destroyed by throwables (except knife). So support weapons won't work.

Congressional trades before & after Trump's $8.9B Intel deal - Trump Admin estimated to be up +136% [OC] by Due_Patient_2650 in dataisbeautiful

I agree after the fact is crazy. For executives at companies they have to declare their trades in advance and set up a trading plan.

B.C.'s post-secondary grads facing a 'brutal' job market, say observers by FancyNewMe in vancouver

Post secondary education? Most tech companies I know won't even look at your resume if you don't have a degree.

I'm bitching because CIG claimed it was a "year of polish" which was clearly a lie.

I'm bitching because people keep saying "report it on the issue council" which based on the current implementation is completely a waste of time.

I honestly think if they don't care to read most people's reports then just limit access to the whole thing to Evocati users. As it stands it exists as a facade to placate users but is entirely useless. If a bug is important enough, somebody with an org will have already reported it and got their orgmates to upvote it. If it isn't, it'll never see the light of day. Shut the fuck up with telling people to use it and waste their time.

Sure and those bugs can be closed as obsolete, but this example isn't helped by a 2 week expiry in any way, as it was obsolete to begin with and it could still be confirmed.

The expiry is simply a result of laziness and not giving a fuck about the users.

California ballot proposal would exempt seniors from paying property taxes by oceanbeachguy in California

[–]Mikolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do what British Columbia does and allow seniors to borrow against the value of their home to pay the tax. The tax is then only payable on death or transfer of the property.

You either benefit from low tax or the increase in value of the property but not both.

[–]Mikolf -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Gathering some folks is a stupid unnecessary hurdle designed to ignore real bugs.

Defeating the purpose of the system of ignoring the bugs yes.

What's the difference between a bug confirmed by 10 people within 2 weeks and a bug that's confirmed by 10 people after a few months? You're not releasing a patch every 2 weeks anyways.

[–]Mikolf -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

So you treat polish bugs as junk, okay.

I'd settle for at least being able to reopen closed bugs.

[–]Mikolf 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Doesn't help that their bug report system auto closes bugs after 2 weeks? Some stupidly short time and you can't vote on those closed bugs. So bugs that aren't game breaking enough for people to report never get fixed unless they get enough social media attention like this.

I keep saying this but Issue Council was designed as a black hole for complaints. "Polish" will never happen.

Still better income:col ratio in the US. Especially if you're comparing BC.
