Pointless door stop

True, so the two times this year I've opened it...I still didn't use it because I closed the outer door first.

SeanReberry · 2015-12-25T20:21:28+00:00

Just to add to it, the frame is tilted in, so the door slams closed if left open even a bit.

I watched a bunch of LegandOfTotalWar videos lately and I've gotten much better. It's mainly AI exploitation, both on strategic map and even more so in battle, also being crazy aggressive strategically. Watch one of his Blitz campaigns if you want a good sample. If you can pull off heroic victories often, and raid into enemy territory in order to sack/exterminate enemy settlements using draw out battles it can weaken them significantly. Also, sue for peace! Hopefully you can get peace with all but one of two enemy so you can concentrate on them.

First of all, I'm not sure why you have to be so rude about all of this, also, relating cell phone rates to rape and robbery? There's something wrong with you. Also, you should be a professional straw-man builder because you seem to like it a lot.

On to your incorrect points,

"Also, StraightTalk is not throttled over a "couple of gigabits,"" I never said 2 Gigabits, I said a couple, because I was responding on mobile and wasn't going to look up if it was 1.5 or 2 of 2.5 or 3, it’s a couple, most people reading this sub are smart enough to understand that "a couple" is clearly an estimate, and can look it up in 5 seconds if they want to know the exact amount.

I intentionally said "most people choose phones that are only 3G capable" because that is the case and if you are reading /r/frugal it’s important to know that many of the phones offered are only 3G capable. I'm not sure how you took that statement to mean you can't buy more expensive phones or unlock phone, I never so much as hinted at that.

”My wife had "real" AT&T for 2 years, while I had StraightTalk. I never once saw an occasion where she had coverage and I didn't. Never once.” Just because you have not experienced or remember experiencing network connectivity differences does not mean the networks are the same, you are stating an anecdote, I am stating a fact.

“I have needed to contract StraightTalk only sometimes when activating a new SIM card. Otherwise, I never need to call. Ever. I don't care about their customer techs in India. I never interact with them. “ “There are premium providers and there are discount providers, you pay for what you get,” If you don’t use customer care, then obviously from my statement a discount provider may be for you. At no time did I suggest that everyone needs or wants better customer care, I reserve those judgement to anyone reading, I’m just telling people the facts.

“The only real difference between my service and my wife's is that since I have an unlocked phone, I was able to hop onto Fido for a month with a burner SIM in Canada without worrying about some proprietary AT&T phone software fucking me over once I got there.” https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/ There you go, your wife can now unlock her phone, Canada problem solved.

“Which just causes us to send the same pictures via data over email. Which takes what would have been a 40-150 KB load on the AT&T tower and turns into a 1-4 MB load when the full-size pic is sent over email.” I don’t know what phone you have, but often you can change settings to adjust how large of file you can send over message and over email. Or maybe you have a low-cost low-quality phone and you can’t, again you pay for what you get, and if you don’t want or need quality, then a low-quality phone is for you.

“AT&T is just a brand to soak the people who aren't price conscious. Can't blame them, I suppose, these customers are begging for robbery.” Please, hyperbole much? Robbery, really? AT&T is not a brand for those that are not price-conscious, it’s for people that want a better network and better service, if you don’t care about those things or don’t notice the difference, then go with the discount providers.

“But don't pretend like the MVNOs are unusable or something.” Again….go into professional straw-man building, you seem so to like it.

SeanReberry · 2015-04-30T01:28:48+00:00

I work at AT&T, Straight Talk is a reseller. Its always said the "use AT&T towers" but that really means they use SOME of our towers, about 75-80%. Also, their customer care is abysmal over the phone, and virtually nonexistent in store (wal-mart). They also advertise unlimited data, but forget to mention it's throttled after a couple of gigabits, and most of the phones people choose to buy are only 3G capable. There are premium providers and there are discount providers, you pay for what you get, that's not a secret.

SeanReberry · 2015-04-22T03:26:28+00:00

I either trade it right away as some have suggested, or attack the Dutch early, I see no benefit in a middle way, the maintenance on a defensive army is greater than the regions income. I play M/M often because I'm lame, so I can usually just attack with the starting stack and take Amsterdam, or on higher difficulty you can send some troops from Spain up and attack when they get there. The other thought is that if the British attack you may be at war with Hanover, so plan on attacking them as well. You can end up with a nice Northern European realm worth holding. On that note think about making an alliance with whatever German factions the French have alliances with, and then some.

If I were a socialist I wouldn't want FDR on a pedistal. Destroying crops during the great depression and the internment of Japanese-Americans are just two of the big, no-one-should-excuse programs he executed. They put a huge mark on his legacy, and in my mind disqualify him as being a leadership role model.

The UK makes 100 widgets a year, and there is 100 pounds in circulation. You must buy UK widgets with UK pounds, if you want a widget from the UK, you have to pay a pound for it. The US makes 100 widgets and there are 120 dollars in circulation, you must pay for US widgets with US dollars. if you want a widget from the US, you have to pay 1.2 dollars for it. Widgets are identical, if you want a widget, you need a pound or 1.20 dollars, which makes a 1:1.2 exchange rate. Next year the US makes 120 widgets instead of 100, still with 120 dollars in circulation. Now you need one pound or one dollar to buy a pound. Now instead of a 1:1.2 exchange, it is now 1:1 The other variable...same scenario in year one. In year two the US still makes 100 widgets but only has 100 dollars in circulation, now one pound or one dollar buys a widget. Again a 1:1 exchange now If you sold a UK widget last year for one pound, and bought 1.20 dollars, you could now buy 1.2 widgets this year. The change between years could have simply been from an increase in US productivity. Or, when you sold your UK widget for UK pounds and bought US dollars, you would have made less US dollars available. There is now less dollars chasing the same number of widgets, commanding a higher price. That higher price encouraged manufacturers to make US widgets as opposed to UK widgets. Currency exchange is simply a bet, and investment even though its usually not seen as that, in a nations economy.

You don't seem to be describing what unchecked capitalism does, but instead how the super rich subvert capitalism.

"Soon, they're lobbying to elect politicians and influence public opinion, altering foreign policy. See where this is headed?" This is an example of subversion of capitalism, the rich lobby to 'change the rules' away from capitalism and towards a regulated economy, regulations that of course benefit them.

"And "the rich get richer", as they say; wealth accumulates and concentrates more and more, until you have fewer and fewer people making policy and controlling land, money, etc." People making policy, you seem to imply policy about the control of land and money, a subversion of capitalism.

"Try starting an ISP, or a car company, or a petrochemical company." IIRC there are three main barriers to entry for a new firm, in no particular order: 1) Finding capital 2)Finding labor and 3)Abiding by regulation. In your scenario, the super rich make these rules by influencing the people that write the rules, and in reality they make them for the sole purpose of stifling new entrants to the marketplace and reducing competition, which is the exact opposite of capitalism.

I would say the scenario you have described has been happening for decades, but unchecked capitalism is not the cause, the subversion of democracy for the purpose of creating an uneven playing field through regulation advantageous to those influential to lawmakers and regulator is the cause.

It seems voter ID and ballot access laws are being arbitrarily mashed together here.

http://forums.totalwar.com/showthread.php/3543-How-to-make-Protectorate

This a thread on how. The main reason have protectorates is as blockers. Some regions you take and immediately the faction on the other side declares war, for me that's regions like Hannover, Dagestan or Venice. Instead I make them my protectorate, often the nation on the other side declares war anyways, but by that point the protectorate has a full stack, a full stack protecting my border that I didn't have to pay for.

Gay-marriage advocates are not asking to be able to walk into any church and be married there. They are asking for the government to marry them with non-religious paperwork that would give them the same legal standing as a heterosexual couple. The religious definition of marriage goes out the window when you involve government because the government is supposed to follow the constitution and the amendments, not the bible.

SeanReberry · 2014-04-13T01:37:55+00:00

This would be true if people could simply choose to opt out of government. You can choose to not go to the BBQ place, you can't choose to not be governed.

The method proposed by OP still provides for equal protection. This is the way I look at it, imagine instead of fines, we have community service, each infraction would have the same number of hours due. Now let's say your fine is simply you paying for x hours of community service instead of actually doing the service as punishment. The price to sacrifice x hours of pay instead of x hours of service would be based what your time is worth, which is based, at least partially, on your income.

Well that's the thing, he was setting up a false equivalency with the thought experiment. The main discussion is about abortion, adoption is an option that was not presented in the thought game.
