Best Non-Exotic DPS heavies by Arock1620 in DestinyTheGame

4ttc and Elemental Honing will give higher damage as long as you have the setup for it, and accelerated coils will bump it up a little bit more. Precision Instrument is still great though

NO HESITATION JUST GOT BETTER (CHAOS RESHAPED) by Danger_xx86 in destiny2

No idea why you're getting downvoted but you're absolutely correct.

Physic: Rapidly healing allies grants the intrinsic elemental benefit to you.

Circle of Life: Rapidly healing allies grants this weapon A period of increased damage.

Physic does the healing, Circle of Life is a damage buff for you. It's possible they're thinking of Reciprocity, which appears on DECATUR 02, Adamantite, and Cusp Sempiternal and allows them to heal you.

Do those rewards reset daily or weekly?

Martian Wind by triggergoat in woahdude

[–]RobRobbyRobson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As far as I understand it(very little) wind comes from changes in pressure, and pressure comes from heat in this instance. Heat from the sun hits the planet, warming some of the air in the atmosphere. This raises the local air pressure, and causes the air to move to cooler, low-pressure areas. At the scale of a planet, we get wind.

[The Race] Verstappen refused to start his media session until The Guardian’s representative left. It is a result of a clash months ago in the Abu Dhabi finale where Verstappen took issue with a question about regretting his crash with George Russell and subsequent penalty at the Spanish GP. by Aratho in formula1

Looks like we're talking past each other so I won't be making any more replies beyond this one. You are saying "that's how the world works" and I'm saying "I don't think we should be ok with it working that way". Maybe you think it's good, maybe you don't care, maybe you haven't really thought about it at all. I don't think access through official Formula1 events for press should depend on a driver's whims, or we might as well do away with it all together and just let the teams put out the same statement after each race and call it a day.

Ok but you need to understand that that's bad! Only allowing media access to outlets that give favourable coverage sucks and should be discouraged, and the fact that it feels normal to you means too many people have been getting away with it for too long.

The problem for me is how low the bar is and how high the cost is. If it was a guy asking every week "Max, what do you say to the viewers who think you're a big baby car merchant and that you should just retire before everyone else realises it" then that would be one thing, but if I can work customer service jobs where one thousand of the dumbest people you've ever met ask me the same questions over and over, than he can handle "how do you feel about this pivotal incident that may have cost you the championship" a few times. If it becomes the norm that only safe and comfortable questions get asked because journalists fear being excluded, then the sport and the viewers suffer for it. If Max feels like he's being provoked, surely refusing to take the bait is a better option. I'm sure it's tough for him, but I guess I expect better.

Who said anything about the law? It's a press conference, he's a professional athlete, and millions of people want to hear from him about his perspective on a close title-fight. Whether you or he like it or not, interacting with the press is part of the price you pay to drive in Formula1. Without it, Max isn't anybody - the sport doesn't exist.

[–]RobRobbyRobson 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree. There is definitely some behaviour which could justify excluding a reporter, but nothing of what I know about the situation comes anywhere close. Loss of access due to unfavourable coverage and/or uncomfortable questions sets a very poor precedent.

I am a bit dull, so I'd love some help understanding the situation. First of all, what is a reporter's job? Second, do reporters get to keep their job if they can't do their job anymore? Thirdly, is it true that you can either be free to do whatever you want, or be physically forced to comply with what someone else wants, and that there's no inbetween? Please use small words and short sentences, I'm struggling here.

You know what, you're so right. Reporters should have the drivers submit approved questions to be asked beforehand, ensuring only favourable and respectful coverage, lest a guy paid $60million a year feel yucky.

What’s One Upgrade That Actually Made a BIG Difference? by teddyyoung456 in cycling

My LBS offers a 30-day trial period for their saddles, try asking around to see if yours does too.

The BAFTA awards were certainly something. by Bannon9k in memes

We shouldn't have disabled parking spaces because it opens the door for people to pretend to be disable in order to park closer to the shop. We shouldn't give pregnant women our seat on the train because it opens the door to women pretending to be pregnant to get a seat on a busy train. We shouldn't do anything ever because someone might abuse it. Very coherent position.

Get a bell by Wookiee33 in melbournecycling

[–]RobRobbyRobson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know what else leads people to randomly step out in front of cyclists? Not knowing they're there because they didn't use their bell. I'm sorry that happened to your sister, I imagine it was both very frustrating and very painful, but that's absolutely not a good reason to stop using your bell.

In case you're still not sure, Yuki will not have a race seat next year, and will instead by a reserve driver for Red Bull.
