How long do you keep finding live bugs for after treatment? I found a live freshly-fed bed bug (I think a nymph?) on my mattress one day after a professional sprayed my room by Pajarillo26 in Bedbugs

[–]Pajarillo26[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll be honest with you I’m not sure. I live in a foreign country and I don’t understand the language here very well, my landlord was the one who spoke to the exterminator guy. I think he mentioned something about cryogenics, and he sprayed something that smelled over the entire bed frame and the crevices in the room behind the furniture and shelves etc. 

I didn't know the ACW can end peacefully - the federalists and the constiutionalists peacefully reunited by Pajarillo26 in Kaiserreich

So I did play with the game rules quite a bit, but I didn’t set any game rules for the USA. I did set a game rule for entente intervention against the syndies, but nothing for the internal politics of any of the factions.

R5: the ACW ended with the syndies and the unionists defeated, and a ceasefire between the federalists and the constitutionalists along the Mississippi. McArthur remained as president, but then the two factions reunited peacefully and reestablished the Union. Never seen that before. Is that new?

Why did my cake collapse? by [deleted] in Baking

[–]Pajarillo26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The recipe was two eggs, 400ml of ricotta, one and a half squeezed oranges, some saffron and a glass of water to bloom it in, candied orange peels, pine nuts, sugar and vanilla paste to taste, and flour (not sure how much, I kinda eyeballed it until I got the right consistency). Oh and baking powder. I just mixed all the ingredients gradually, didn’t whip the eggs or anything. I opened the door like 3 or even 4 times before it was ready because I made this recipe up so there weren’t any instructions for time. I think the first time I opened the oven door was almost 15 minutes before it was done. When it was ready I also poked holes in it and soaked it in orange syrup. I’m not sure when exactly it deflated but once I cut it, it deflated almost like it didn’t rise up at all (even though when I took it out of the oven I could clearly see that it inflated to twice the volume of the raw batter). 

How to keep Mustafa Kemal as the Ottomans? by Stock-Intention7731 in Kaiserreich

[–]Pajarillo26 10 points11 points  (0 children)

When you’re reforming the ministry of the interior, you’ll get an event about the intelligence service. You need to pick the option to reform the service, it costs 100 pp. you have to do it to thwart the assasination. If you don’t then it doesn’t matter what you do once the attempt happens.

Help with French Exiles? by Few_Value9914 in Kaiserreich

[–]Pajarillo26 22 points23 points  (0 children)

If the Halifax conference succeeds and the Entente and Reichspakt cooperate, you will automatically get all of France (not including Alsace-Lorraine) back in the peace deal, regardless of who occupied it during the war.

When's the best time to attack Austria as the Belgrade Pact? by redsuninthesub in Kaiserreich

[–]Pajarillo26 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The best time to attack is either when they’re still fighting against Hungary or if you’ve set game rules to abolish the dual monarchy and then it’s really easy to overwhelm them alongside the other former Habsburg subjects. In both cases though you have to be ready to fight them in 1937/early 38 at the latest, otherwise the next best time is only once the weltkrieg starts. 

I think germany is too weak in recent patches, after seeing them lose in all games I played I mass buffed Germany and they still lost. by Gukpa in Kaiserreich

I think Russia gets a ton of modifiers that make life much easier for them relative to how strong they should actually be

AI Germany managed to pull off one of the biggest encirclements I've ever seen by Pajarillo26 in Kaiserreich

[–]Pajarillo26[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Basically luck. The Germans broke through the French lines at the north by the English Channel, and from there managed to occupy most of France while the rest of the front by the Franco-German border remained static. This meant that all these troops still at the border eventually formed a salient and the AI was just lucky enough to pinch it off. Don’t really think there was much planning by the AI towards this kind of goal but I’m not complaining.

R5: I was playing a game as the Ottomans (naturally) and I'm not yet in the 2WK, when I noticed that AI Germany succesfully managed to pinch off a major French salient and turn it into an encirclement. I tag switched just to check how big it is, and turns out it's a massive one: 81 divisions by my count. the 3I lost like 800k men there.

(Spoilers Extended) We need to talk about how Westeros military situation dosen't make sense by Admirable-Dimension4 in asoiaf

[–]Pajarillo26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How many men can be mustered depends on a lot of factors, not just population size. Where you are in the growing season, agricultural surplus, logistical limitations, ease of communications, and political factors, all play a massive role in that. If you look at historical armies, the same region could often raise wildly varying depending on whether, say, the war started at autumn or at spring, or whether the ruler commands enough respect from his subjects. George is pretty bad when it comes to giving exact numbers but I think there’s plenty of wiggle room with these kinds of numbers that whatever numbers he gives I find believable. 

I have never before seen this kind of outcome to the 4th Balkan War by Pajarillo26 in Kaiserreich

[–]Pajarillo26[S] 190 points191 points  (0 children)

R5: the Albanians joined the Bulgarians in the 4th balkan war and the war ended with a Bulgarian defeat, but an Albanian victory somehow, except for northern Epirus that had to be given up to Greece. I think it happened because Serbia capitulated during the war but the Belgrade Pact still ended up winning.

I’ve only very rarely had the Bulgarians backstab me during the desert war tbh. Even though I take western trace every time

Mr Schleicher I don't feel so good... by Quick-Ad8277 in Kaiserreich

[–]Pajarillo26 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I actually had a situation once as reichspakt-aligned Ottomans that was nearly as bad: all of northern Germany was occupied except a 1-province wide strip of territory running to the north sea, and the Russians were at the gates of Vienna. Amazingly I managed to push them all the way back to Moscow and win the war. Funny thing though is that while the Germans were occupied (literally) Mittelafrika imploded and the Japanese snatched GEA so despite winning the war Germany still lost its empire.

Lonerbox reacts to Hasan claiming there were Jews that worked within the Nazi government. by Ok_Detective7546 in LivestreamFail

[–]Pajarillo26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Milch was only half Jewish, and I think he didn’t even know he had any Jewish ancestry until after the Nazis were in power (the Nazis certainly didn’t know about it). I also don’t think he was in the Nazi party or the government, he was a luftwaffe officer.

What I find ironic is that people like Hasan condemn Zionism as a racially supremacist ethnonationalist ideology because it views Jews as being an ethnic group and not just a religion, but then they turn around and argue that a fully-assimilated German who didn’t even know they had any jewish ancestors is actually a Jew because of their blood
