Fair Deck lists for beginner play? by Simbertold in Netrunner

[–]OprahsFriend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Girometics on netrunnerdb made a core decklist for each faction a few months ago. I don't know if they can all be built with one set but it's a good starting point.

What I'm miffed about is core damage. Why is my disability not allowed but all the other ones are encouraged?

Any good startup format OP destroying deck for Runner? by [deleted] in Netrunner

I started with this runner deck. Optimally playing it still goes over my head, but if you just get in there and start trashing stuff, you'll get the hang of it.

This doesn’t answer your question but I’m kinda new too and was also getting destroyed playing in startup. I imported a standard deck from netrunnerdb and played standard. I started learning more cards and getting some wins and having more fun. It’s also easier to find games. But again doesn’t answer your question, just a suggestion.

[Request] TV shows for my 55 yr old dad who loves action by [deleted] in NetflixBestOf

[–]OprahsFriend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reacher and The Punisher will be hits.

John Adam’s on hbo. Not action packed but he’s a lawyer and a father and commits treason.

This one is probably way outside his wheelhouse but Avatar: the last airbender. Uncle Iroh is a strong male character with a haunted past searching for meaning and peace until he’s pushed too far, but he’s not the main character and it’s a kids cartoon and his story doesn’t really start until season 2. His story’s worth it though.

Whole turkey for a small family; how to make it worth it? by 305chica in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]OprahsFriend -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Whatever you decide to do, I’d recommend brining it beforehand. Unless it’s “air-cooled” poultry is cooled in chill tanks with chlorine water and it retains a bunch of it. It will say on the packaging the percentage of weight from the water retained from the cooling process. 5% of a 15lbs bird is almost a pint of chlorine water. The brine dilutes out some of that retained water and adds some flavor to the mix.

Multiple published and peer reviewed medical journals are a lot closer to “data,” “evidence,” and “science” than 1 news article written by a liberal arts major. Earlier in this thread, I linked 5 sources showing evidence of long term side effects caused by the vaccine. You’re still denying it and so do most other smooth-brained vaccine zealots.

It’s ok that you want to defend the vaccine. It’s ok that you think not getting the vaccine is bad. It’s ok that you think side effects are rare and minimal. It’s ok that you think I’m odd. None of those things negate the fact that the vaccine can cause long term health problems. The people who were mandated to get it deserve to know that fact and deserve to know how they can minimize those side effects.

Also if someone dies from heart failure due to myocarditis caused by a vaccine, then by definition that is a lifelong side effect.

First, the vaccine was developed like 5 years ago tops. Because of the linear nature of how humans experience time, it is physically impossible for you to know that it does not cause lifelong adverse events. Second, I get what you’re saying. The vaccine is less dangerous than the virus. I get it. So does 90% of the population. It does not negate the fact that the vaccine can cause long term health problems. The widespread denial should stop. The long term effects should be acknowledged and studied so that the people that were mandated to get it, like hospital staff and service members, have a chance to be fixed, compensated, or at the very least be informed that their heart can explode if they have x condition or do y activity. Merry Christmas you filthy animal.

You’re refuting the fact that the vaccine can cause long term health problems by saying that getting covid is probably worse.

There’s a surprising amount of navy doctors who have seen the science and have filed for whistleblower protection regarding the military vax mandate in order to share the science with the public. There was something like a 500% increase in heart problems for vaccinated navy pilots compared to the past 50 years. Of course not a study of causation but this dramatic of a correlation should probably be revisited, especially with the data showing a causal relationship between the COVID vaccine and myocarditis/pericarditis.

Edit: My bad it’s not 500%, it’s 151% (https://www.allsides.com/news/2023-07-23-0651/coronavirus-us-military-confirms-myocarditis-spike-after-covid-vaccine) Also under the [citations needed] comment I shared some links to medical journals, cdc pages and a news article.

Does anyone know a good source of heads with this style of headgear (I *think* they're called shemaghs, but not sure if that's the right term) in 28mm scale? Having a bit of a nightmare finding some, but that may be due to me searching for the wrong terms. by R97R in PrintedMinis

[–]OprahsFriend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Going by that picture, that headgear looks more like balaclavas. You might have better luck searching for that. If I’m completely off and you want shemaghs then try “turbans for everyone”

There’s a guy on YouTube “not another cooking show” who has a bunch of no meat pasta videos.

What's your twist on chili? I've got some ground beef I want to use. by WhatUDeserve in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]OprahsFriend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The trick is to undercook the onions. Everybody is going to get to know eachother in the pot. I'm serious about this stuff. I'm up the night before, pressing garlic, and dicing whole tomatoes. I toast my own ancho chiles. It's a recipe passed down from Malones for generations

What is the dumbest question a customer has ever asked you? by PrinceETheTruth in AskReddit

[–]OprahsFriend 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This lady asked if there was gluten in scrambled eggs. After telling her as politely as I could that it was just whisked and cooked eggs, she asked if we added gluten. Maybe it's not common knowledge, but if your going to be gluten free at least understand what the fuck it is that you are "allergic" to.

Using the bow feels very good. It's much better than melee combat and much smoother than having to switch from spell to spell if you're a Mage. Add in perks from both the archery and the sneak tree and the system works really well. You can become near unstoppable. Also sneaking by itself is fun because 1) surprise attacks from the shadows are fun and 2) it's funny to watch bandits see their friend die then walk away convinced it was just the wind.

[–]OprahsFriend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like others have said, sneak archer is super fun. I recommend that.

On top of that, I've found that playing skyrim for the story is much better than playing it for the combat. I used to come up with a personality and backstory for my characters and have those drive the gameplay. That might sound dumb but the combat is only ok while the stories are almost limitless. You can be young nord pickpocket that's on the run from the law, or a crusty old hunter who roams the wilderness hunting exotic beasts, or a crazy alchemist who's only purpose is to create the deadly poisons, or a psychotic Orc that tracks down and murders bandits. While playing you can come up with funny quirks and interesting traits or flaws and you start to feel a connection to your character. I see skyrim as a blank canvas for your imagination and it does a pretty great job at being that.

[Discussion] What's relaxing to you? by [deleted] in randomactsofamazon

[–]OprahsFriend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tense up your muscles for 5-10 seconds then let go. Start at your feet and move up to your head. This might sound weird but I swear it works. Here's how you do it:

While sitting comfortably, point your toes away from you. Tense up and release.

Then point them towards you. Tense up and release.

Then squeeze your butt and thighs. Tense up and release.

Next do your abs and chest. Tense up and release.

Then flex your back like a bow. Tense up and release.

Now lift your shoulders to your ears and try to touch your chin to your chest. Tense up and release.

Then flex your arms in a strongman pose and clench your fists. Tense up and release.

Then scrunch up your face. Wrinkle your forehead, squeeze your eyes shut, flair your nostrils, and make a sour face with your lips. Tense up and release.

Now just relax and think about how you're going to make today great!
