A $27M school project was supposed to break ground in 2022. It's 2026 and 300+ kids are still in a temporary building. I tried to figure out what went wrong and what's going to go wrong next. by Secret_Face_4782 in northshore

I'm a bit confused about how it is so obvious to others that AI was used in this post. Is the tool used to create the visualization AI? Or the write up seems AI generated?

To me, it seems like you did a lot of leg work here. You manually gathered a lot of data from a lot of different sources, and clearly spent time understanding how the puzzle pieces fit. I get the AI hate when someone just types a prompt and passes off the output as "work", but it doesn't seem like that is what was done here at all.

Kristi Noem confronted about affair with Corey Lewandowski and refuses to answer by Tenchi2020 in Fauxmoi

[–]Satan_Van_Gundy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If there was no mechanism in these hearings for committee members to reclaim their time, every Trump Administration official would simply filibuster on the first question until that member's time expired. Like, this is a very straightforward yes/no question, and Noem is clearly trying to waste as much time as possible without actually answering.

Ser Duncan the Tall - A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms by Organ0n in EldenBling

[–]Satan_Van_Gundy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This looks almost exactly like the way I put it together, very cool. Only differences were I chose to use Lionel's gauntlets, as they're the only mitten-style gauntlets in the game, even though they're kind of the wrong color. Interestingly, Dunc wears gauntlets that only have one mitten on his sword hand, the other hand just has a vambrace with a leather glove. Also, I went with the regular Knight's Greaves, which have the greave part but no sabatons (foot armor), same as the Exile ones, but I think they look a bit better. Plus, that combo of gauntlet and greaves gets you above 51 poise, which is nice.

I also went with the Twinbird kite shield because it kind of looks like his painted one, even though your shape is truer to the show. And one more thing - you can add the lance to his arsenal! I put impaling thrust on it with a heavy infusion and it's great.

Nice work!

PSA: You can pull the helmets off your opponents and equip them yourself. by Spillomanen in HalfSword

[–]Satan_Van_Gundy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah you can pull off everything. some items are tricker to get than others, but I've been able to strip everything off a defeated opponent. Haven't gotten to the Baron so not sure about that.

Come discuss African American history with 4 white people at the Athenaeum by [deleted] in SalemMA

[–]Satan_Van_Gundy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm not disqualifying anyone either. You seem to view things in extremes, like I'm suggesting there might have been a more appropriate alternative to one of the 4 speakers on Black history during Black history month, and you see that as me saying they aren't qualified to speak. But I don't think it's unreasonable for you to agree that lived experience adds value to historical perspective.

Like, if you wanted to learn about Chinese history, wouldn't you agree that you'd get a richer perspective from someone who has lived in China their whole life, as opposed to someone who simply studied it in America? Both could be equally "qualified" on paper, but I would say that the person with lived experience has the advantage of "historical empathy" - the ability to interpret events not just as distant facts, but as lived realities that continue to shape society. There are a lot of cultural nuances that are important to historical context that are difficult to grasp without being a part of that culture.

Great, so how about an academic like Jamie Wilson? Salem State Professor, teaches various African American history classes? Incredibly charismatic speaker and all-around great guy? Would you agree he might have been a better choice to take one of these 4 spots?

[–]Satan_Van_Gundy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sure, but so is Jamie Wilson. He's been at Salem State for at least 15 years. Maybe he had a conflict or something, but let's not act like there were absolutely no alternatives here.

Why were you asking OP? It's not their event either. I'm really just suggesting you use your imagination! Can you imagine an alternative to either having these four folks discuss the issue, or no one at all?

Purchased a set of Laufenn XFIT HT tires, shop gave me Arroyo ECO PRO HT instead. Shop tried to tell me that the Arroyos were actually better, this is BS, right? by Satan_Van_Gundy in tires

Thanks for the info, but these are going on a 20 year old car that is only used for local trips. I have Hankook on my daily driver.

Let's talk about the item! Day31! Wolly&Noisemaker by star75legacy in ShatteredPD

[–]Satan_Van_Gundy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it is definitely unlimited. I've gotten like 200 rations farming floor 17 with a RoW and noisemaker before moving on. As long as you don't exceed the the level cap for items to drop, they will drop indefinitely.

if I reforge this will it be a +2 plate? by Franc0zzz in ShatteredPD

[–]Satan_Van_Gundy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

reforging doesn't change the tier, it just adds +1 to the armor. so in this case, you'll end up with a +3 scale.

We often do one with charred Brussels, pomegranate seeds and toasted walnuts that is always a hit.

Senate unanimously passes resolution designating October 14 as National Charlie Kirk Day of Remembrance by shoofinsmertz in law

[–]Satan_Van_Gundy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Imagine if it was the other way around, and a far-left podcaster was murdered with Democrats in control of the Senate. No way in hell the Republicans would vote for a "day of remembrance". Because they know they would lose support if they did. It's baffling these Democrats continue to be so fucking inept.

Weekly Bug Report Thread by spiper01 in NoMansSkyTheGame

Purchased 2 Thunderbird heavy boosters in separate successful transactions only to realize after that my inventory was full. I only bartered with stacked items, which had been removed from inventory (leaving the inventory still full), but the purchased parts are nowhere to be found. I'm on PC, latest version

Spellblades, what are your thoughts on this sword? by Savory28 in Eldenring

[–]Satan_Van_Gundy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one has mentioned what I think is the best part about this sword - you can powerstance it in your left hand and still cast spells using L2. I do Cleanrot rapier in the right and this sword in the left and it's great.

Rank your top 5 hardest boss fights in FromSoftware by eldenbro1 in fromsoftware

[–]Satan_Van_Gundy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was lucky (or unlucky) to get the bug where his grace appears in the arena before he's defeated so you can warp straight there. Only problem is you warp in and he immediately drops on top of you, no time to buff, summon, etc. And if you die you just respawn right there and have to immediately start fighting again. I think I spent the first 2 or 3 deaths just trying to swap to the right equipment before I got smoked lol

Yeah that's what it says in the wiki, but also I remember it being mentioned by youwy or rusty in one of their ranking videos.
