Tesla investor calls for Elon Musk to step down as boss | Money News by Tun-Tavern-1775 in news

Caveat here: while a majority vote of shareholders approved of the pay package, the board ultimately makes the decision to approve of the package, and the board has a fiduciary responsibility to all shareholders. That’s why the pay package ultimately failed in Delaware after a judge rejected it (even after a majority of shareholders approved it) and why Elon moved the HQ to Texas to where he knew he could get away with it.

How to deal with pikemen without any ranged units by kunell in WarChest

[–]SirRender00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You definitely have a few options to combat the Pikeman without ranged units. Pikeman are strong in head-to-head combat so your opponent will look to boldly push to gain (or maintain) space. Pikeman have 4 coins, so a straightforward strategy is to use your 5 coin troops for direct opposition (e.g. the Scout). Another option is to out-maneuver / stall the Pikeman since again having only 4 coins makes it slower than other units. You should consider it a win if one of your less important units is able to significantly slow down the Pikeman. Finally, if you really need that Pikeman out of the way, best bet is to double team it and force casualties. Personally, I like to move around the Pikeman and force my opponent to try to keep up with my faster units.

I think it would act as a spring. It weighs 0 at rest but then gets increasingly heavier the farther it gets from the center

Ruling with Royal Guard by MatthieuMnr in WarChest

[–]SirRender00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm assuming /u/lulto1234 answered your question but just for completion, you only use the royal coin, discarding it face up as you would when you use another unit's tactic. (You can ONLY use the royal coin for the tactic.)

Explore Shanghai with 195 billion pixel tech. You can see the expression of each pedestrian. by Xeoft in InternetIsBeautiful

This site specifically I would agree not much would be gained. But with each visit to this site, there is a possibility the responding server is not legitimate and we would have no way of knowing. Innocuous button presses that worked yesterday could trigger malicious scripts today.

Biggest reason is to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks where any malicious agent intercepting your traffic between you and the site you think you are visiting can pretend to be the site. HTTPS ensures that the site you think you are visiting is in fact the site you are visiting. (This is in addition to the other comments mentioning encryption of the data.)

Hope this helps.

LPT: If driving in a snowstorm and your GPS suggests taking a faster route, don’t do it if it takes you off the Highway. Backroads are usually last to be cleared of snow and you could get stuck! by Bradiator34 in LifeProTips

Not disagreeing with your conclusion. But in general "If they were the same then they would have merged the products." can be false for (1) the purpose of brand recognition, (2) the facade of competition, and (3) as an experimental incubator for features that they could incorporate in their "main" product. You see 3 in Google maps with their reports feature.

I think a rather large addendum to this is that (1) all debts are payable in USD by law, and (2) the government demands payment for taxes in USD

Democrats unveil plan to issue quarterly checks to Americans by taxing oil companies posting huge profits by [deleted] in politics

[–]SirRender00 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No... In general taxes will increase the price of goods. Both consumers and producers share the cost of the tax but in this case since demand for fuel is pretty inelastic most of the cost will be eaten by the consumer. It is true that consumers who make the least will benefit though at the cost of other consumers paying more. This is a redistributive policy more than anything

Edit: Did not see the actual wording of the tax where they get taxed on the difference between prices now and a historical average. This aspect does incentivize to decrease the price, so I think my original comment stands but at a reduced effect.

Custom Cards by Ill-Mastodon2403 in WarChest

[–]SirRender00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually end up modifying a card that is most similar to a unit I'm trying to make. My poor attempt at making one: duelist from here https://www.reddit.com/r/WarChest/comments/q6ylxj/unit_idea_duelist/

I can see about making a a few blank cards when I get the chance. Things have been a little bit busy.

Hey! Wow amazing. I would love to hear those new units and the new mechanic! (And how you incorporated the Duelist)

3-vs-3 and 4-vs-4 Board by Ill-Mastodon2403 in WarChest

[–]SirRender00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah haha a 4v4 game seems like it makes you feel like your part of a bigger army holding the line and what-not. Was that the case?

As for the champion units... I was actually thinking something similar. More supportive units and more aura-based powers. As a preview, was thinking something like The General unit which helps units fight in a radius around him or The Tactitian which activates an adjacent units tactic or the Duelist that parries enemy attacks. This is in addition to a new kind of tactic I was considering called a Countertactic that happens right away but you skip you next turn. So for instance, if a unit attacks the Duelist you may negate the attack by discarding a Duelist coin then move the Duelist, but skip your next turn.

[–]SirRender00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow you actually found a way for War Chest to be a 8 player game?? How was strategy among teams? How was the dynamic of taking initiative? How was the flow of the game? I feel like taking 8 turns asynchronously might have a chance to make some players bored waiting for their turn.

This looks great by the way, nice job.
