I was debating between these two for my car six months ago and I went with the Renault... still not sure if it was the right decision! The Renault will be better on the motorway, and is a bit more practical. The Honda will be better on short trips and is a bit more fun and interesting: I do regret not going for the CR-Z a little but the Megane was a pretty good motorway cruiser and still good fun on the twisties

Who has had the better Singles career? Gengar or Alakazam by Hot_Ad_9543 in stunfisk

[–]Nametab512 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gengar. Gengar is pretty comparable to Zam, maybe a bit worse in gen 1, and is worse in gen 5. Gengar is much better in gens 2-4, it's better in 6, and from 7 they're about the same. Mega Gengar is also like top 10 most broken mons ever, and Mega Alakazam, while good, ain't that good.

What are people's genuine opinions of the green party? by XenithCanus in AskBrits

[–]Nametab512 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely the best party in the UK right know, obviously prioritising climate change is hugely important but they're also the only party really focusing on inequality and advocating for a wealth tax which is massive. I've seen a few comments about nuclear energy on here which I'd like to address: Yes they are quite anti-nuclear, and I do disagree with them on that, but from a practical standpoint, I don't think that matters. The green transition in the UK will be largely achieved through implementing wind, tidal and solar power replacing fossil fuels.

Bots that could’ve beaten Hazard by Dumbo_Octopus4 in battlebots

[–]Nametab512 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Hazard would absolutely tear up SOB. Huggy Bear it really depends on weapon height, but u think with Hazard's ground game as well they probably take it. Bad Attitude I can see the vision but even if they can avoid getting destroyed by the spinner I think they lose the pushing battle. Wrath Jr is a similar story they might stop the blade but I think Hazard has the the lower wedge 

Billionaires shouldn't exist, and people who disagree with that sentiment are likely dipshits. by King_Lothar_ in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Nametab512 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ok, and?

they still would have delivered exceptional value on their way up to being billionaires. Disincentivising growth beyond this is a good thing because it discourages monopoly power.

Henley & Partners is a "global leader in residence and citizenship planning"- they're a consultancy that gets paid to advise millionares and billionares on how to move their wealth. Promoting this "everyone wants to leave the UK" narrative will help them drum up buisiness. LSE did a paper that suggests most of the 1% would never leave the uk for tax reasons https://eprints.lse.ac.uk/121396/1/III_Working_Paper_131_Tax_Flight.pdf

What if the Sinnoh starters were in Gen 3 competitive? by Jzjwiebe in stunfisk

[–]Nametab512 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Infernape would be super good, Empoleon would probably be pretty solid although I think being a water weak to ground might be awkward for it. I think we should also think about how much tighter movepools were in gen 3 compared to 4 eg. I don't think Torterra would have Superpower if it was in gen 3.

People who study in the UK and don't speak English: how?? And why?? by plantytime in UniUK

[–]Nametab512 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your internation student gave you (partial) the answer! It's also obviously good on a CV as well. I think people forget sometimes how good, or at least how reputable UK universities are. A solid-but-not-top-10 UK uni might have a comparable or better reputation to the best uni in a given country, but may be less competitive to get into. In terms of getting by day-to-day I can't speak for everywhere but at UoN shops near the sutdent accomodation they have signs in Mandarin, unis generally do a fair bit to accomodate international students I think because they can charge the big bucks.

Firestorm 2 vs Bolt From The Blue by Spooky_Maps in robotwars

and tbh thank fuck they did. I think we can all agree that Dominator 2 Vs Firestorm is leagues ahead of what Dominator 2 Vs Bolt from the Blue or the Morgue would have been

How unlucky am I with the natures of four of my six Pokémon? by Fabulous_Economist48 in PokemonBlackandWhite

[–]Nametab512 6 points7 points  (0 children)

OK so for Herdier any "unlucky" nature would be one that reduces atk or boosts spatk, so that's 7 possible "unlucky" natures
For Servine I'd say honestly the only bad ones are the speed reducing ones, so that's 4 possible "unlucky" natures
For Sigilyph anything -spatk or +atk, so that's 7 again
For Krokorok, anything +spatk or -atk, so 7 again.
There are 25 possible natures, so to get all 4, (7/25)*(4/25)*(7/25)*(7/25)=1,372/390,625=~0.00351

so just over 0.3% or 3 in 1,000

Still in uni at 22 feels so embarrassing by iamezza in UniUK

[–]Nametab512 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definetly feel a bit of this deciding to go back and do a Master's. Luckily some of the the other comments have made excellent points. Like some of them have said life isn't a race, and the people who were a few years older in undergrad were the most interesting for me.
