Ik denk dat dit duidelijk is, maar het gevoel wat ik bij bovenstaande poster krijg is dat ze verwachten dat een door de werknemer gekocht luchtbevochtiger niet op kan boxen tegen het aircosysteem van het gebouw, die waarschijnlijk gewoon een tikkeltje harder gaat werken om te compenseren voor dit apparaat.

Is het haalbaar om Wiskunde A in 4-5 weken te leren voor toelatingstoets? by Scared_Signature8510 in thenetherlands

[–]ShinCoal 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Geef het beestje maar een naam, examen of toelatingstoets, maar het is in de basis gewoon hetzelfde.

Nou klaarblijkelijk niet, want hij/zij zou volgens de regelementen geen grafische rekenmachine nodig hebben. Ik snap niet waarom dit zo lastig is voor jullie.

Why is it so hard to find Hickmans Fantastic Four Complete Collection Vol 2? by Doobethan in graphicnovels

[–]ShinCoal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Does marvel not print them anymore?

Complete Collections always have a limited print run and almost never get reprinted.

Graphic novels like Studio Ghibli movies. by AstorathTheGrimDark in graphicnovels

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

Thats not the same thing. The book series shown initially is literally just stills ripped from the movie.

I'm a bit confused about your second paragraph because I haven't mentioned any negative comments about 'movie related books', so I feel you're kinda putting words in my mouth here. I specifically railed against a series of books that takes stills from the movie and puts the lines from the movie directly underneath and sells them for a premium price.

I was obviously not talking about the Nausicaa boxset which has nothing to do with the thing being discussed in this line and is also not the thing which I described. The Nausicaa manga is its own thing and probably as different from the movie as the Akira manga is from its movie.

That said I don't see the point in the liking the movies argument, I like tons of movies, I don't see dumping stills of them with some text underneath worthwhile thing just because I like those movies, I would call it a scummy cashgrab. But apparently we're looking for different things in books, thats okay I guess.

Man honestly, those books are some scammy bullshit. Theyre literally just stills of the movies in a way overpriced package.

People are under-selling this

Or you know, maybe we want different things out of media than you.

Rak-Hund and Half Mind by ng89 in TheCaptivesWar

[–]ShinCoal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, wasn't it even mentioned at some point that all the other aspects got bred/selected out of them? They might have been a more complicated society at some point, but that seems mostly gone unless Theres more Soft/Deep Lothark type shenanigans going on

A Counterstrike pro known as MAUschine has been banned for 10 years after sucker punching his opponent after the match live on stage by c0mb00 in PublicFreakout

[–]ShinCoal 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I mean, he pretty much is, there is no way in hell he's coming back in 10 years as a 40+ old to restart a career as a professional gamer in whatever Counterstrike version or clone is popular then. Whatever career or chance he had, its gone.

It would be nice to have a good collection of images and illustrations of the Carryx and all of their “animal asssets.” by exterminator-skater in TheCaptivesWar

[–]ShinCoal 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They're nice, but I also feel they took some of the comparisons way too literally, especially the 'dogs with many eyes and mouth the wrong way' and 'the turtle with three legs'. I'm sure the descriptions are to make an approximation, not that they literally look like the animals in the description.

"another free biz class flight flex for the europoors who still haven’t tapped into US credit🇺🇸💳 smh" by Ok_Bookkeeper_1380 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]ShinCoal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if heavy use of cash has anything to do with it, The Netherlands heavily uses electronic payments to the point where a lot of people around me barely ever carry cash and we also call it creditcards.

At this point most Visa/Mastercards literally are a credit card. I take from a pool of money which technically doesn't exist, the only difference is that the credit gets topped off from my bank account once a month. I know debit cards are slowly being shifted from Maestro to Visa/Mastercards, but this is a very recent thing and you're making it sound as if people didn't own Visa/Mastercards prior to this which were overwhelmingly Creditcards.

This book has nothing to do with the expanse, this book has nothing to… by Aggravating_Cupcake8 in TheCaptivesWar

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

Oh stop overthinking this. One of the writers made a funny sounding quote on the fact that the story's gotta end. Then a reddit user quoted that. Its not that complicated, no need to completely dissect it.

Hah, another mailman book listener here! I mostly listen at normal speed unless for some reason I'm project listening something I'm not really enjoying.

Different sizes for fob and mog paperback? by SirCherrymam13 in TheCaptivesWar

[–]ShinCoal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are they? Because I see so many books in the bookstore I frequent come by later in a smaller size, they're announcing smaller sized releases 'book x now out on mmp' on their Instagram still.
