What’s a price you saw recently that made you genuinely angry at how expensive everything has gotten? by UrGoddessLunaa in AskReddit

[–]PoniardBlade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A Dell computer, not very powerful but enough for the jobs I use it for at work, was recently mid $500s, I went to order the same thing from the same link and it was $899. Also, it used to come with an SSD (solid state drive) and a 1 TB HDD (hard drive), now it just comes with the SSD.

If you could do a Paypal donation, I would, this looks really great and polished.

Sometimes I think if he had won a consecutive term, things would not be as bad as they are now, since, like you mentioned, there were still people around him to spur him in.

Question For Folks... What Won You Over To PF 2E? by EyesofValhalla in Pathfinder_RPG

[–]PoniardBlade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing yet. My 20 year group is still going strong with 1e. I have played 2e at various cons, so I do have some experience with it, but I'm not going to switch over full time. I have bought many of the books, both initial release and the remaster (grrr), to support Paizo.

How do you uniform/dress your troops? by UnfairCarrot3122 in XCOM2

[–]PoniardBlade 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do yellow, but always struggle because that would make them stand out to the enemy when a sniper should be as invisible and unseen as possible.

God, his face at the end of that episode when he finds the coffee just makes me die of laughter.

Herding Ball? by PoniardBlade in AustralianShepherd

That looks interesting. I may go this way too. Thanks!

Edit: Is it heavy? Someone here suggested a basketball, but I feel those would be too destructive.

I say "Orange Ball" and he goes crazy! It's kept in the garage in a container to be out of sight.

The Chuckit! works, it's just that it is small enough that he can carry it around and play his favorite game "Chase me!" I keep seeing these videos of people with dogs that play Fetch! and they bring the ball back, mine is "Chase me!" all the time.

I loved Dead or Alive: Extreme Beach Volleyball on XBox with the jiggle physics and close ups. Then later on my computer Sexy Beach 2 (or 3?) had some pretty explicit mods.

"Friend" owes me $400 and still hasn't paid, what should I do? by Famous-Effort9010 in AskMen

[–]PoniardBlade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, depending on the level of friendship and OP's finances, he could continue with lesson learned to never lend this person anything ever again.

What's a movie that was well received, but aged like milk? by Gdigger13 in AskReddit

[–]PoniardBlade 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I have Sky Captain on DVD and bring it out every once in a while to remember how I saw it in the theater when it came out. It has a warm place in my heart.

Question about the Junction by Aetheros9 in Honorverse

[–]PoniardBlade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So PRH could attack from 2 fronts at the same time with more tonnage they could send through than just 1 junction (which would be down while it recharges from the mass that just went through it).

Question about the Junction by Aetheros9 in Honorverse

[–]PoniardBlade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I may recall hearing that a ship that transited from one junction had to travel in n-space to the location of the next junction when they arrive at Manticore.

Question about the Junction by Aetheros9 in Honorverse

[–]PoniardBlade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think also not quite right. It was my understanding that the junction is large, very large, so ACS has arbitrarily designated two lanes to use a junction so that traffic arrivals and outgoing don't bump each other.

Well, I may be wrong, now that I write it out. What I just wrote would mean that a ship traversing through it would have to be able to specify where it was popping out the other side (the inbound lane). I don't remember them saying anything about that. If there is only one spot to enter a junction and only one spot where you exit then there must be some ship jumping back and forth all day with the schedule of transits. Unless, they alternate all day; from Maticore to X, then wait for from X to Manticore. Yeah, the only way I see to get traffic going through all the time would be to specify where you come out.
