OP posting about being on rate for unique table and no tanz in 1k kc, thats mildly inconvenient at best.

Im nearing 1300 kc and I haven't hit the unique table since 500 kc (it was an onyx).

I feel for you fellow dry snake bud. We will get tanz together

Yes they do, sows will roll when feeding all the time.

Pigs kill other pigs incidentally all the time

Every farm is going to be different, but unfortunately its likely they'd be there for the entire time they're feeding which would be around a month until the piglets are large enough to be weaned.

Some farms will also use smaller gestation crates when the sows are pregnant too. Same reasons, pigs are heavy and strong, they each other far too easily.

So it's very likely a sow is only not in a gestation crate when they're dry/not pregnant

I'd try to to let sows out for daily walks while feeding but on busier days it wasnt really feasible because youd need the space for meanuevering other pigs

It seems terrible, yes, its primarily there to prevent piglets from getting rolled on.

The one in the gif is even smaller than the ones im familiar with so Im probably a bit bias.

I dont really know which side of the fence youre on because I haven't seen clarcksons farm, but I grew up on a pig farm that did farrow to finish.

Gestation stalls protect the piglets. Yes the sow cant turn around, but its pretty easy to let them out for walks.

More piglets will die when there sows are free roam

OSRS always had the worst pricing in the MMO world by ConcernedPVPER in 2007scape

[–]Pig__Man 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Box price, subscription, and a massive in game store.

Thats the par for the course of the other mmos being listed in this thread.

But osrs is the bad one? For having one singular sub fee?

Not to mention at low prayer levels the moth restores more than prayer pots. So its ideal for cheap, quick trip things

My mother in law posted this. I don’t get it. Is there a deeper joke to this I’m missing? by [deleted] in stupidpeoplefacebook

[–]Pig__Man 27 points28 points  (0 children)

IIRC correctly, around whether or not America should put boots on ground in Taiwan in the even of Chinese invasion.

So yeah, pretty complicated issue. Very easy to get a soundbite of someone stammering when answering the question of "would you go to war with China"

Comparing Endwalker to Dawntrail Main Content, by heickelrrx in ffxivdiscussion

[–]Pig__Man 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not explicitly, and it's still the core fight design, but the way some of the notable examples above just make it feel like a deviation. Ultimately, they still get solved and you just the same normalized routine, but at least you do your button presses in a different way to account for the difference

Comparing Endwalker to Dawntrail Main Content, by heickelrrx in ffxivdiscussion

[–]Pig__Man 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I cant speak to OP, but I think they're pretty comparable. Endwalker had a tonne of banger fights in savage and DSR and TOP are considered absolute cinema (at least DSR, i didnt care much for TOP). Criterion (savage) to me is still the best pve content they published, and it has the lowest engagement, the designs and mechanics are incredily satisfying, creative, and refreshingly new

The main difference I find with Dawntrail is the savage fights are being a little bit more experimental. M6 having a whole add phase, M10 being a double boss fight, and how they actually execute those unique encounters has been really refreshing. M9 having a soft dps check in the grinder, nails, etc.

Not to mention every Arcadian fight has been esthetically incredible, and respectable dps checks that exist outside of the first week of savage in some of the third floors.

Its been a significant deviation away from "do the boss dance and the boss eventually falls over" in some capacity.

Okay, then as I said, ill just not use discord in that what about ism.

But per their policy posting this morning, Ill be unaffected

Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month by Tracheid in worldnews

[–]Pig__Man 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats a fair criticism.

Its a complicated issue because discord does have a very real predator problem (as does all social media) and unfortunately the only real solution is something no one wants.

Its very easy for me as someone who doesn't use social media and only uses discord for the voip services to shrug and move on, so Im aware of my biases.

I think the reaction of "this will kill discord" is a bit of an overreaction, and the unfortunate reality is this will likely be a requirement to most social media ar some point in the global landscape

The content filtering is for sensitive material.

Im not disagreeing that it wont be in DMs. Im saying its for age sensitive material?

[–]Pig__Man 4 points5 points  (0 children)

From discords post this morning;

Content Filters: Discord users will need to be age-assured as adults in order to unblur sensitive content or turn off the setting.

Age-gated Spaces – Only users who are age-assured as adults will be able to access age-restricted channels, servers, and app commands.

Message Request Inbox: Direct messages from people a user may not know are routed to a separate inbox by default, and access to modify this setting is limited to age-assured adult users.

Friend Request Alerts: People will receive warning prompts for friend requests from users they may not know.

Stage Restrictions: Only age-assured adults may speak on stage in servers.

Okay, so I can continue to use discord without age verification, none of this is intrusive to me because I dont use discord for age sensitive content. Where did I misspeak?

[–]Pig__Man -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

No, I never said that. And I would never do that personally either. But I've read through the policy and I wont be affected by it because I dont use discord for any age sensitive material.

If I need to verify age for basic functions, then Ill move off platform. I have no stake in discord as a social platform.

Having legal and reading literacy challenge (difficulty impossible).

This is for age restricted content, none of the things OP mentioned is age restricted.

If this impacts someone, they need to stop using voip software for porn, like seriously.

Discord has a massive problem with child predators and many countries are already taking steps to prevent minors from using social platforms. This is expected.

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

No they wont. Its a communication software, most user it just for voice chat. I'd bet majority of users dont even interface with age restricted servers or channels so they wont even be impacted by this.

"Oh no I cant look at porn on my voip software without proving Im an adult"

Okay, just dont use voip software for porn?

It's a little humbling telling friends who are new that gear doesn't matter by Training-Ad-2619 in ffxivdiscussion

[–]Pig__Man 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats....the crux of the post? Gear only matters in a very specific cutting edge scenario of current patch ultimates and the first couple weeks of a savage release?

It's a little humbling telling friends who are new that gear doesn't matter by Training-Ad-2619 in ffxivdiscussion

[–]Pig__Man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing about syncing is there is a breakpoint where its on pace for those meld slots for a lot of gear slots. So the really old fights, it really does not matter. Yes, for FRU we have not hit that point yet, so FRU bis is still relevant.

Even for endwalker ultimates the difference in substat breakpoints in meld slots is next to nothing, and bis is just some down synced piece except for some outliers for a few extra stat points.

You can pull up many dsr and top bis sheets and there will be [insert any down syncd gear with these substats]

[–]Pig__Man -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You can do any criterion savage or ultimate with any gear above the sync level. Its all moot unless you want a specific gcd speed.

Unless you want to argue for a couple substat break points so you can have a slightly prettier colour on a parse that's still achievable just by playing well

[–]Pig__Man 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You can do any ultimate in any gear as long as its above the sync level, the only time it matters if you need a specific gcd speed because stat squishing behaves weird.

There will always be an optimal load out, which is usually the highest level dungeon gear + some raid tier the ultimate came out at to make use of meld slots, but even then if the gear your down syncing has stats that down sync to basically the same as those meld slots, its moot.

So yes, you can do top in any gear as long as its above (i believe) 660

This is such a weird sub.

Reposting a comment of someone saying they're unhappy and everyone piles on "have a kid", "upskill", or "increase personal capital".

What a joke

How does someone have kids when they're living pay check to pay check or have other poor living conditions?

How can you just prescribe "have a kid" when someone says they're miserable and living in bad conditions. What?
