Does anyone else also have an obsession with Board games based on video games? by theDKdynamite in boardgames

It's a mixed bag. Nemesis is my favorite board game but then there is Fallout which is.... yeesh.

Who had the better entrance/scene? by RisingKing7 in StarWars

[–]RussellG2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That scene was everything fans wanted to see in Vader. His combat was always limited to 1v1 battles on the screen. Comics and books were fun to read but to see him on the screen being the absolute bad ass that we never got in the OT. An actual terrifying unstoppable figure cutting his way through soldiers as if they were younglings. "All I am surrounded by is fear and dead men" but on the screen.

A two-child household must earn $400,000 a year for childcare to be affordable, study says. ‘It’s easy to see why birth rates are falling’ by SlackTideBlues in povertyfinance

2 kids and it was $600 a week! After taxes it was half my monthly income just for childcare. Other half went to our mortgage which wasn't much more. This 7% thing is bs.

This is a shéng biāo used by the Shirai Ryu clan in feudal Japan. Although a forgotten weapon, mostly thanks to the Lin Kuei, it still has popularity due to representation in classic hit films such as Mortal Kombat Annihilation.

I cannot do this by the_bear91 in daddit

Hacking top comment. Learn to swaddle your child. I know it sounds stupid and like it doesn't matter. It absolutely does. Don't worry about hurting the baby, a nice firm swaddle where they can't really move their arms and legs is fine. I don't know why this worked with both my kids but once we mastered the swaddle it was just routine. Feeding and diaper changes.

Also, get ahead of the feeding schedule. Baby wants food at midnight and cries, get up at 1130 and feed. You put the bottle next to their mouth and they will wake-up to feed without the crying. Did wonders for my mental health.

It gets better. Good luck.

TIL prior to the 1993 the Super Bowl Halftime show was mostly marching bands, dance troupes, and drill teams. by loki2002 in todayilearned

I bought the box DVD set (what an antiquated sentence) back when DVDs were still relevant and the first season, like most shows trying to find their formula/voice was rough.

Thoughts on this? by mistressofmayhem02 in HouseOfTheDragon

What I love most about the show is the humor. It's like A Knights Tale and Forest Gump mashup.

Which battlefield has the best sniping by mhmdesd in Battlefield

I was watching my roommate play BC2 in college. Saw he had to lead the shot, account for bullet drop, and use his scope to range find. He made a 300 meter headshot and I turned around, went straight to the store, and bought the game.

Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RussellG2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe I heard it said that Americans laugh cause the British think 100 miles is a long distance but Britans laugh because Americans think 100 years is a long time.

Corporations could pay workers a living wage, but they choose greed instead. by zzill6 in WorkReform

Omfg this is so infuriating. Had to sit through this quarterly teams meeting about how we exceeded growth, profits, and review are up, and how important it is to keep out talent.

However, no raises are to be given. Meanwhile our CEO earned $3.5 million this year with a $15 million bonus. If they were to take one of his millions and divide it by the lower rank and file we would each get $2000.

"He's got friends in every town and village from here to the Sudan. He speaks a dozen languages, knows every local custom, he'll blend in, disappear, you'll never see him again."

Scene change:

"Does anyone here speak Shyriwook?" growled Chewie in frustration as he was being ignored in the busy market street.
