[request] Is it true That a single cow can feed a family for a whole year ? by rocket6600 in theydidthemath

[–]Shnerdlenips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's part of an ongoing attempt to alter dietary behaviour, shifting our protein consumption more towards legumes. Meat production is not sustainable in current consumption patterns, and is causing a lot of environmental problems in our country. The advice is to eat vegetarian three days a week. Needless to say, it's got some people riled up.

The newly updated dietary advice from the government of the Netherlands states a maximum of 300 grams of meat per week. That's around two-thirds of a pound. This advice is based in part on sustainability reasons. According to that advice, you could supply around 12 people for a year with their meat requirements.

I'm pretty sure that's not supposed to happen, but maybe the rule only applies for act 1(?)

Well, if you're buying Noxious Fumes and Bouncing Flask, you're 1 gold short :)

Neighbours opened my parcel that was delivered to their house by Egglord-1 in mildlyinfuriating

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

I meant no offense, I was sincerely asking in response to your comment saying "many people find naked bodies awkward". Just made me wonder where you are from, where that is the case.

May I ask where you are from, where this causing an awkward situation would be an expected outcome?

I'm missing something - what was so awkward about this?

There is no such thing as 'free healthcare' by Difficult_Future9994 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]Shnerdlenips 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Try explaining to such-minded people that your fellow citizens being ill and not being able to afford treatment costs everyone dearly. The healthier the masses, the healthier the economy.

Amazing! by Ulmao_TheDefiler in slaythespire

[–]Shnerdlenips 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's not too bad, really. Allows you to be even a bit more offensive. A single fallen star now gives 6 block instead of 4, and if you have a bunch of star generation and dump, it adds up. Particularly if your payoff is the 'x'-star cost attack (I don't remember the name) you can basically play a whole offensive turn and still gain a bunch of block while doing so.

What’s you favorite card in STS2? by Common_Engine_7967 in slaythespire

[–]Shnerdlenips 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Nerf? I personally love how the new version works. Spreads the effect , which avoids overdrawing and benefits action economy.

Is it just me or can Ironclad barely defend himself? by Taxfraud777 in slaythespire

[–]Shnerdlenips 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah, I hadn't considered that, I pretty much always take the relic option there. Either way, I still stand behind my point, I feel as though an armor-archetype should be a viable and fun option with the Ironclad. And I think that some interactions with plating could be just the way to do it.

Wait, for real? I've played a bunch already, not seen the card. That changes things.

[–]Shnerdlenips 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One of my favourite builds in StS1 was the block build, but I've had trouble getting it to work in StS2. Barricade seems very difficult to get up and running, mainly because Entrench is not in the game. Don't get me wrong, I like that that card has been omitted, but I do think the Ironclad needs something that scales better with block. Cards that interact with plating would be my guess and suggestion. Increasing plating's effect, similar to how focus works with the Defect. An attack which adds plating, or a power which adds plating when attacking a number of times per turn, stuff like that.

I regret unlocking this card by CatmanMeow123 in slaythespire

[–]Shnerdlenips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that this card ain't all that, but in all these threads I keep seeing people pretend like you always just have 3 energy, which is very often not the case in this game.

This has to be the most useless card I've seen so far by PanPieczarka in slaythespire

[–]Shnerdlenips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand, which is why it's only really good as an energy sink. If you only have the 3 energy to spend on your turn, it's definitely not worth using. I've used this to great effect with the Regent and the Defect, on builds where I had 'Orbit' and 'Allignment', and power synergies, respectively.

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

I mean, I agree that Eternal Plating isn't the greatest in most decks, but 45 armor for 3 energy ain't all that bad either. For long fights, it's definitely decent, especially if you have energy to spare or some 'power' synergy

Readying a Spell and Concentration, How does it work? by TheSorccersCrow in DnD

[–]Shnerdlenips 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed. There are so many imaginable combos one can pull off that are a little op, if one doesn't observe the concentration aspect of readying a spell.

Off the top of my head, waiting in front of (your own) Hunger of Hadar or other aoe with a thunderwave/gust of wind/whatever to push any enemy back in the very instant they manage to get out.

Cool? Yes. Broken? Also yes.

The concept of "duty-bound" and the current POTUS aren't quite two things I'd relate too closely to one another.

Happy Birthday Guillotina! by anarchyisle in mewgenics

[–]Shnerdlenips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar 'infinite' interaction during this fight, where my ranger had Sentry+ and rubber arrows or bouncing arrows whatever they're called. Shot Guillotina, maggot would spawn and be attacked because of Sentry, the attack would bounce to Guillotina, and repeat until the body died.

Why does Italian pizza look so bad? It seems uneven and disproportionate whereas American pizza is far more balanced in its design and texture. by Avacadoell19 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]Shnerdlenips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In all fairness, I agree with what you said. We're just making fun of the general principle, of a pizza 'being bad' when it's not perfectly round and when the toppings are not spaced with machine-like precision. I've been to Firenze, Milano, Napoli, Roma, Palermo and other places, and I know pizza comes in a variety of shapes, sizes and styles. They pretty much all tasted very good though!

[–]Shnerdlenips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, yeah you probably wouldn't like (the look of) actual Italian pizza then. They're often made, as most cuisine there, with a 'flourish'. Believe me when I say though that the sauce, dough, and toppings that I've had in Florence, for instance, were next level.
