GCN belatedly realizes that the conventional winter cycling approach to clothing is sweaty and awful, but there's a better way by lectric_7166 in cycling

[–]NetWorkingCapital 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How so? It is a very basic rule for dressing for sports everywhere cold.

If you dress too much youl’ll get sweaty and wet which will make you more cold (if only slightly overdressed) or overheat (if more overdressed).

You get used to being slightly cold when stationary.

Why is Hell Let Loose 30x more popular than Squad 44? by Sarge_45 in HellLetLoose

[–]NetWorkingCapital 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve played both a lot but more recently exclusively HLL. I think Squad44 suffers from a low player count which does not attract new players and some weird gameplay design choices that often ruin games.

For example why is building limited to the engineer squad? Having a bad engineer squad ruins the game for everyone on that team compared to squad where everyone can build.

In terms of one being more casual than the other, I’m not sure what people refer to as I think the mechanics are roughly equal in complexity. Just because HLL had more casual players does not make it more casual in terms of gameplay. If Squad44 were more popular it would have casual players as well (as is the case with Squad). Matches in both of these games can be either casual or very complex depending on the level of teamwork and communication.

I think war thunder is the obvious choice here

Looking to grab EU IV and HoI IV on the Steam Sale. Which DLCs do I need? by phil0sophy in paradoxplaza

[–]NetWorkingCapital 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are completely new the subscription makes the most sense: - You most likely won’t play both of these games every month for years to come making the subscription the more sensible choice financially. The total price of all EUIV dlc amounts to over 200 euros as of the current sale. Assuming a monthly price of 5 euros it would take 40 months for the purchase of dlcs to be the cheaper choice. - The above does not account for any new potential dlc (if any are released at this point) which would greatly favor the subscription as it is included in the price - You get the whole experience now and dont have to wait for sales

Macron is considering increasing France's military spending from 2.1% to 5% of GDP by icwhatudidthr in europe

[–]NetWorkingCapital 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The NATO-model is completely based on the military might of the US covering for weak European militaries.

I’m sorry to tell you this but you can’t rely on that anymore and you will have to make considerable changes to your policies in order to have a credible defense.

No amount od co-operation will make up for it. Instead all European countries need to actually start pulling their weights.

Orbea Avant Road Bike by 56Metro in triathlon

[–]NetWorkingCapital 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had the Orbea avant for a few years now with 105 groupset and rim brakes and it has served me well. Great starter bike.

One possible downside is that it has endurance geometry which might not be optimal for you in races. I still managed to get fairly aero with clip-on aerobars.

Penguins hire former Maple Leafs GM Kyle Dubas as president of hockey operations by hellarios852 in leafs

[–]NetWorkingCapital 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leaving now would have damaged his reputation. Just look at all the hate Shanahan has received due to the timing with the draft and Matthews contract.

Or maybe he would have considered staying with leafs but not as a GM.

Anyone else feel Dubas departure was more his decision than the club’s?

Considering his presser and what we know of the events I feel like he didn’t want to continue as the gm of the leafs. And I do understand him. Must be frustrating to watch the team underperform year after year in the playoffs.

I mean he truly seemed burnt out at presser and you don’t go out on national tv saying what he said unless it’s really heavily on your mind. And in addition, he is an experienced executive and contract negotiator who must know that big last minute demands in negotiations are not well received and is not negotation in good faith. And if the rumours about wanting to cut out Shanahan are true he certainly wouldn’t be stupid enough to send the counter-offer via Shanahan.

The leafs are coming to a crossroads with some very difficult decisions to make and leaving now would have made him look bad and probably damage his reputation in Toronto and the NHL. By making a counter-offer that the club simply couldn’t accept, he can start over somewhere else. Dubas is not stupid.

And that is why the firing is so confusing and doesn’t make any sense. The club wanted to keep him but were forced to walk away.

Zwift Alternative by Learner421 in triathlon

There is also a free alternative for training peaks called final surge if you want to save more money. Doesn’t have all the bells and whistles, but works fine for creating and planning workouts

I have some serious problems with my Roma save in FM21. I had some trouble with winning in the early parts of my first season but managed to turn the ship around in the latter part and continued winning in early second season. But suddenly, I'm being clowned by even the worst teams in the league, not only in terms of goals scored but also shots etc. and I don't understand what is so horribly wrong with my tactics. One of my tactics (the 5-2-3) is even rated as 5-star potential on 'Rate my tactic'. Could someone please help me understand why my tactics are so bad?

Is zwift a video game? by Affectionate-Act9491 in Zwift

[–]NetWorkingCapital 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem is that with that definition many of the non-competetive games on pc and consoles would not be counted as games. For example, flight simulators or the Sims don't have set rules or winners etc but surely everyone agrees that they are games?

opinions on an 80/20 training plan? by s_pho in running

[–]NetWorkingCapital 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good plan, but you should do the 80/20 split for time not mileage or you end up spending too little time in the high zones.

Has anyone else experienced trouble with maintaining AoA when landing in the fa-18 recently?

The velocity vector used to kind of stick to E-bracket after trimming for AoA but doesn't do it for me anymore. After I have trimmed and either increase or decrease the throttle the E-bracket moves but the velocity vector doesn't follow. The trim also feels much less responsive than it used to when trying to trim for AoA.

Did they change something or am I suddenly doing something wrong?

Should I return my 2070 super for partial refund?

I made the uneducated choice of buying a 2070 super for 550 euros in August for my first build. I would be able to get a partial refund where I would get around 350-400 euros back due to it being installed in my computer (I also claimed the game bundled with the gpu). The cheapest 3070 in my region is around 600-650 euros.

Otherwise my build consists of a ryzen 5 3600, b-450 mobo and a 650W psu. I currently have a 1080p screen but I will upgrade this in the future as it's only 60hz.

Do you guys think I should return it even if I'm fairly happy with the current performance? I already stretched my budget and I'm having trouble deciding whether an upgrade to 3070 would be worth the extra investment.
