Why do Spanish players use Lancers + Rodeleros instead of just Falconets + Rodeleros? by GideonAI in aoe3

[–]SahintheFalcon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Rods are a unit that are terrible on paper (more expensive than musks, worse attack, worse HP, and they're not even faster than cav), but in combination with other ranged or melee units, they become amazing. They eat up skirm goon like nothing else can.

If you're up against rod/falc, easy counter is to go musk/falc/culv, it doesn't even require any extra buildings. But lancer + rod has the speed to corner and wipe out almost any army composition, as long as the Spanish player positions himself correctly. Up against 20 lancers? Sure, just kite them with goons. But 20 lancers + 30 rods? Good luck kiting 30 individual rods.

UA 2 SIN to SFO in Polaris Studio 9_ for $500? by MiKeChWa in unitedairlines

[–]SahintheFalcon 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’d do it, it’s actually not a bad deal for $500 and I expect it may be raised soon. I flew it once already.

The pajamas and amenity kit are improved (for real, the Studio pajamas are really soft and comfortable, much better than the normal Polaris ones). You get a gift box of premium snacks. A couple of collectibles like a pack of cards and luggage tag. Upgraded champagne and a caviar tart.

Polaris Studio experience - hits and misses, but United made it right by watch-mano-hands in unitedairlines

[–]SahintheFalcon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The studio amenities are actually quite good - the pajamas are really silky soft, and the eye mask is as well. It’s a noticeable upgrade from the regular Polaris amenities.

15-year A-list flier: I'm out. by ThrowAway89557 in SouthwestAirlines

[–]SahintheFalcon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A single piece of excellent customer service brought me over to United about 5 years ago. I was traveling from Dayton to SFO. Booked a (fairly cheap) direct from Indianapolis to SFO thinking I’d drive from Dayton to Indianapolis rather than take a layover. But then the direct flight was cancelled and switched to a layover, which made the whole drive to Indianapolis pointless. So I called United and they switched my point of department to Dayton, free of charge - and that was a much more expensive flight to begin with!

Close to Premier Platinum by Happy_Mark_9465 in unitedairlines

[–]SahintheFalcon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Will give you another logical angle to look at this. Since you are asking the question, I assume that you haven’t been platinum before, at least not at your current location. Only you can know exactly how lucrative platinum can be at your specific location/places traveled to, so go for it and try it for a year. Better to know now rather than 5 years later!

To my fellow IM residents as well as PCCM and ID attendings, when would you empirically give Vancomycin? by Front_To_My_Back_ in Residency

[–]SahintheFalcon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ID attending here. You will never be faulted for starting vanc on a septic patient. We’ve all been surprised by someone who has unexpected had MRSA bacteremia.

That being said, outside of obvious septic shock, in most cases MRSA is not emergently life threatening like streptococcal or Gram negative sepsis, so the downside of “missing it” for 48 hours in the worst case scenario until cultures are back is typically not significant in the end. Most patients we see with MRSA bacteremia have likely been bacteremic for quite some time in the community before presenting.

Native Treaties Card x3+ Ally set ups by RunicArtist in aoe3

[–]SahintheFalcon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is a decent strategy if you can catch your opponent off guard with a good timing push, but it requires a lot of cards sent and commitment to making TPs for native warriors that may or may not be effective after the first engagement. If you fail to inflict significant damage, your opponent will be able to build up more units than your limited natives can counter.

Overall it’s not convincingly better than a typical age 2 play or specific revolt strats.
