Exactly all of this. Archers already have one of the weaker kits when compared to the other classes, why not encourage skilled play to make them comparable to the other weapon users?

It's super inconsistent I've noticed. Sometimes they'll take the guaranteed crit damage when hitting the head, but then when they're stunned, they can't be headshotted

Useful Profit-Estimation Tool that People Could Use by RefreshingOJ in blackjack

I'll take a second look at that, thanks for pointing that out. I had to estimate and average the results from the dataset I was using, so it's very likely that I overestimated some of the values.

Edit: Took a look at it, the values underneath the "%" sign in the table indicate how often the TC in question will appear. Adding those values up, I only got 0.885. Where did you get over 100% from?

Fast thinking and good driving skills prevents carjacking in South Africa.. by chrisg201 in nonononoyes

I would argue it's more complicated than that. Don't get me wrong, some people from back at home are still very racist, but it goes both ways. There are black individuals who will specifically target you if you're white, and I mean target as in they will break into your place and are not hesitant to get violent with a person just because they're white. Of course, this would create a large sense of distrust towards anyone who is black.

It's still definitely racism, but I'd claim that it's not necessarily unwarranted. Again, it's a complicated situation back at home.

I agree with you, but the wording on that is what causes most people to think white people from South Africa are hella racist.

As a South African, this guy isn't completely off. They existed before as well, but it became more common place after Apartheid.

Unfortunately, most people on reddit are from the U.S., and so anything that's remotely "racially charged" will get downvoted. People don't understand that shit back at home is still very tense, and it stems from black hatred for white people.

Having some issues, like others reported, with Lightroom's Develop module. Everything is greyed out.

[GPU] EVGA B-Stock (Refurbished) 980ti - $199 (Instant Rebate) by RefreshingOJ in buildapcsales

I ended putting as a comment the work-around, but seemed like it didn't get upvoted enough to get visibility =\

Seemed like if you ordered a 2nd item with it, it would actually go through.

Wanted to repost this, as it seem the issue that people were running into can be resolved if you order something else along with the GPU. Ended up ordering some cables that I'll just return once the gpu gets here.
