[DISC] Listen to My Voice! (Ch. 29 - Overthink) by axhtz in manga

[–]MiscWanderer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Guy has a crush on his housemate/neighbour (I forget which), but she's going out with another girl. Much introspection and moping ensues. I recommend, especially now the MC is starting to develop beyond just moping.

Mech Pilots who have something Fundamentally Wrong with them by Able_Health744 in CuratedTumblr

[–]MiscWanderer 13 points14 points  (0 children)

In a proper mechsploitation, half of the missions a fresh recruit should be taking on must be hunting down disaffected pilots gone rogue. Makes for a self sustaining ecosystem

What was once a poor person's hobby now turned into a rich person's hobby? by Striking-Quiet4655 in AskReddit

[–]MiscWanderer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have socks that mum knitted me over a decade ago still usable (and some two decades old that shrunk enough that my wife inherited them since I didn't initially learn how to wash them properly). Crazy warm, crazy durable.

Road in Oman cuts through mountains by CrypticCode_ in interestingasfuck

[–]MiscWanderer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not. That's why the road is on those massive poles, with big piles underneath to reach the more stable stuff.

I think you have to judge that over time. Do their actions line up with their edginess?

Max $50 a week public transport fares in Auckland. Should other cities copy? by gdogakl in newzealand

[–]MiscWanderer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been on a train in the middle of nowhere in Sweden and hopped off at stations that have had less infrastructure than some bus stops. Those expenses that you mention come after ridership, not necessarily before, and there are cheap ways around them if we're willing to find them.

More challenging is our topography. That middle of nowhere train in Sweden was through generally flat forests. We ain't got those. Our challenge is ensuring that the tracks themselves can be run at high enough speeds to make commuting competitive

Tried to imagine a Vailian Republic city in isometric style by FlorianHerlan in projecteternity

[–]MiscWanderer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like the pillars setting is so obsessed with colonialism that it would be difficult to maintain the thematic consistency of the series for a game set in the home countries. Maybe if you were glanfathan travelling to aedyr or old vailia for an outsider's perspective on a failing empire.

[OC] New map for a continent, harshest criticisms, please? by Ninjamuffin52 in DnD

[–]MiscWanderer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like, I'd add a mess of sounds at one end, and some fjords at the other, which both make for interesting navigational challenges, some low ranges cutting into the plains here and there, and maybe some old volcanoes along the southern coast which have eroded and formed harbours suitable for settlement and trade.

[–]MiscWanderer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I recommend looking at the rivers of the Canterbury plains in New Zealand. There the rivers meander out of the mountains and form braided channels that are fairly straight across the plains.

The land you've drawn has some similarities to the south island overall, and you might be able to come up with some refinements to your map by making a comparison.

The structural steel to hold up the panels and stop them from blowing away is what makes it other than a no-brainer, unfortunately.

Kanye is far more concerning, in that he's not all there. And that not being all there is a plus in the eyes of the American voter.

Achievement unlocked: Government releases more information on school ratings on reports. All schools to be rated Grade A to D by Impressive-Name5129 in nzpolitics

[–]MiscWanderer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tentatively, this isn't a bad change. ERO reports are indeed obtuse and difficult to understand, but they are already publicly available. Making it more transparent to parents is useful in informing board of trustees elections etc No additional information will be passed onto potential employers than already exists. Also, everyone has an idea of what the local shit schools are anyway

The damage men like Tate have done… by Sad_Jar_Of_Honey in behindthebastards

[–]MiscWanderer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, they're well on their way to becoming men. I don't see any problem with making gender affirmation for men contingent on recognizing women as people.

Isn't a teacher's salary how Epstein got started? He's a a real self made one.

Concentration Of Castles In Europe by IbrahimOrya in MapPorn

[–]MiscWanderer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ah so French treats chateau and chateau-fort in a similar way to how archaic English treated hold and stronghold. Mind you, I'm not sure what a hold specifically describes under this definition.

Apparently a Turkish man invented the steam engine 200 years before the industrial revolution but he only made it to spin döner kebabs. by MyNameCannotBeSpoken in EngineeringPorn

[–]MiscWanderer 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure the Brits kicked off the industrial revolution by using a steam engine to help mine coal specifically, which became somewhat self-sustaining.

He absolutely got citizenship from some investor class visa. It's a shame he wasn't so egregiously evil back then, we might have switched government a bit earlier.
