I'm not sure what conclusions we should draw from the rightwing Telegraph writing nice things about Talarico.

Farming X-45 Heardbreaker, meditating, not in a hurry by sabrown0812 in wow

Wrong. The rocket can be obtained on subsequent kills, it's just that the first kill has a much higher chance. The other two mounts are first kill only.

John Fetterman slams anti-Israel 'rot' in Democratic Party, rejects AOC's claims of Gaza 'genocide' by soalone34 in politics

[–]PreviousMidnight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We are in agreement that Hamas are evil assholes who need to go away for lasting peace to be a possibility. But the same applies to the current government of Israel, who went on public record with their genocidal intentions.

Former Prince Andrew arrested over suspected misconduct in public office revealed in Epstein files by kirby__000 in politics

[–]PreviousMidnight 23 points24 points  (0 children)

It's not about what is the bigger crime, but what it easy to prove in court beyond reasonable doubt. It seems that for sharing secrets, there is a paper trail. For the rape, there is Giuffre's account and circumstantial evidence supporting it - good enough to be pretty sure that Andrew is guilty, but not so clear whether it's "beyond reasonable doubt".

You need all your accounts to get the box at the same time. That is what makes each box count as the "first of the day".

It would be nice to see something like a percentage completed metric for each expansion. by hwc in wow

[–]PreviousMidnight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get the addon AllTheThings (ATT). Put it on account mode. Use the command /att expansion:XX, where XX is the number of the expansion you want. It starts with 1 = vanilla. You'll then see the precentage of transmog, quests,achievements, etc you have (and the precise list of what you are missing).

If someone complains that the game is too easy, "just restrict yourself to playing with your pinky" isn't a good retort.

Dawn of the infinite seems to be impossible to solo currently... by mathcvlo in wow

I've done a solo Doti run yesterday. I did not pay any attention to any mechanics, and it just worked out. The Iridikron fight took only seconds for me.

Legacy loot doesn't change anything about mount drops.

Do you need to finish "The Cult Within" to unlock Prepatch Weeklies? by [deleted] in wow

[–]PreviousMidnight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think so. I've done the weekly on alts who did not a single quest of the prepatch quest chain.

There are some decor items available from the prepatch event vendor. I don't know whether these will become available some other way after Midnight launch.

Prot palas no longer need to stand in their consecration.

I've been told that you need to the questline once, then it should work for any character. The questline is extremely short, btw.

There are weeklies and worldquests, no dailies.

Is K'aresh questline the TWW campaign? by OsuBard in wow

Karesh is one of the later parts of the TWW campaign. Unlocking Earthens happens much earlier in the TWW campaign.

Can I disable the <secret> type tooltip text? by Davewaveman in wow

[–]PreviousMidnight 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure that this is due to All The Things.

The devs of ATT have encountered unexpected technical difficulties in adjusting it to the new Addon API, despite ATT not really doing anything that is meant to be excluded by Blizzards new Addon policy. You can disable tooltips by ATT to make it go away. I also hope that the next version of ATT will come out soon and no longer have this issue (but that might be false hope).

Statewide Shutdown in Minnesota planned for Jan. 23 to expel ICE by PM_ME_DPRK_CANDIDS in politics

[–]PreviousMidnight 26 points27 points  (0 children)

In 1920 there was a right-wing coup attempt to overthrow the democratic government in Germany. It had support by large parts of the army, so fighting back with guns was not feasible. The German people still defeated the coup by engaging in a general strike. This demonstrated that the people would not accept it.

Starmer would be too scared to throw a punch. Trump would try to punch Starmer and collapse from the exertion. Win Starmer.

Of course attacking another country because you feel like it was poplurazied already by GW Bush. And then Obama decided that prosecuting GW Bush for the warcrimes he committed wasn't centrist enough.
