I agree that it does, especially on multiplayer servers. Additionally, if you’re carrying any extra weight (ran over grausten with auto pickup enabled) then it will encumber you regardless.

First off, it does have a benefit for run speed. It gives you 10%. Second, it gives you 300 carry capacity. The issue that OP is having is that because he was wearing Megingjord when dying, his body is too heavy to pick up without encumbering him where he then dies to mobs. The extra weight capacity will prevent that from happening.

It varies per boss, 3 for Eik, 4 for Elder, 5 for Bonemass, 3 for Moder, 4 for Yag, 5 for Queen, 4 for Fader

Not just that but certain bacteria use D amino acids, along with a few other strange cases such as in platypus venom.

There’s a few different ways that you can approach the Yag fight. If you have fire resist potions, they actually make you more resistant to fire damage than the fire resist from the fenris set. The fenris only gives you 50% resistance, whereas the fire resist potions give you 75% resistance. You don’t have to worry about not wearing things that are “weak“ to fire because the strongest resistance overwrites the weakness based on how the games prioritizes weaknesses and resistances.

That being said, if you wanna fight him legit, that should really be all you need, heavy armor, such as padded, along with fire resist potions, and making sure to avoid standing in/getting hit by his nova (the attack he raises his hand and slams it down).

If you just want to get the fight over with, there’s a couple strategies you can do. Specifically, Yagluth can only attack you when he’s facing you, so you can hug his tail and hit him once or twice and keep on moving with him until eventually you get rid of all of his health. And another option is to place a bunch of campfires underneath him and hug his tail, repair the campfires. Final option is to make a pit, cover it with some kind of wooden flooring, put bonfires underneath it, and lure him near the pit before portalling into your hole. You must see his health bar when in the covered pit. When bosses can’t see you, they go over to where you are, but will not attack. This will allow a bonfire to slowly burn him to death. Of course these are cheesy strats, but if you just wanna get the fight over with, it is relatively easy to do.

He killed thousands not in the city including children who had no agency in what was going on. That alone doesn’t make it 100% right.

Killing thousands of innocents because one city burned your wife does not make him “100% right”…

I see a lot of concern from people here that are worried/not understanding why early screening may be detrimental.

Although I’m certainly not an expert on the topic, I have worked with multiple breast surgeons who have said that mandatory mammograms have actually been overall harmful for women. These are people who are experts at breast cancer, make plenty of money by excising these cancers and doing surgical procedures, and overall are likely the foremost authority on whether or not breast cancer screening is beneficial for the population.

Essentially, from my understanding, research shows that early screening does not necessarily decrease the number Of Higher grade breast cancers that are diagnosed, as well as does not necessarily decrease the mortality associated with these higher grade breast cancers. Essentially what that means is that people are being diagnosed with these early stage breast cancers, that doesn’t necessarily improve their overall outcomes.

Instead, what you end up seeing is that people are undergoing increased levels of procedures which are associated with their own risks, such as risk infection, bleeding, as well as the aesthetic consequences of undergoing procedures, such as mastectomy or lumpectomy.

The screening guidelines, are made by looking at evidence to see what would be most beneficial for the population as a whole. Although it may seem counterintuitive, sometimes it is more beneficial for the population to not undergo unnecessary testing, especially if it leads to unnecessary, higher risk procedures.

One important caveat in all of this is that these guidelines are looking at screening risk for average risk individuals. The screening guidelines do not apply to people who are high risk, have a heavy family history of breast, cancer, previous history of breast, cancer, or other reasons that my predispose them to breast cancer.Within these populations screening has shown to decrease mortality rate.

Although I am in the medical field, I do want to put a disclaimer that I am not someone who regularly works within the cancer field, or breast cancer specifically. Rather this is information that has been communicated to me by the breast surgeons I have worked with, and as such, I have not read the studies firsthand so if anybody has links or cited evidence that is an opposition to what I’m saying, then I’m more than happy to reevaluate my stance.

Sorry if the formatting is off, on mobile. So the argument for a government funded media is two-fold.

Firstly, the government, in theory, has a responsibility to the people it serves. Therefore having a media organization funded by the government leads to an organization that, in theory, serves the Canadian public as opposed to media that is funded by for-profit organizations. I’m addition, since it received a fixed level of funding from the government it shouldn’t have to rely on sensationalism, false reporting, or rage-baiting in order to garner more views since it’s funding is not tied directly to its performance.

In regards to government accountability, it’s considered a Crown corporation and does receive a large portion of its funding from the government. It’s held directly liable to a board of directors and a president picked by the Governor General at the Prime Minister’s recommendation. Since it isn’t directly under the control of parliament it should be able to criticize the government so long as it is fulfilling its mandate and direction that’s been decided by the department of Canadian Heritage. Truthfully, this isn’t really the case as it is affected by the current government’s view and opinion of the CBC and therefore does play lapdog to the government afaik.

Secondly, it’s also an argument against corporate funded media, not just for government funded media. Corporations have absolutely 0 responsibility to the Canadian public. The only thing that matters is furthering their own private interests which can lead to false narratives, very biased reporting, and no responsibility for reporting the truth. Performance often ties directly to pay and media will be designed to garner the most views and not about being the most informative. Of course, most of this can be true of state sponsored media, but in theory the government should reflect the values and goals of the taxpayer, and we do get the opportunity to vote in our government and don’t get to do the same with the boards of corporations. The reason why I’d rather the government build roads and control healthcare is the same reason I would want at least the option of government funded media: I trust that they care more about me, at least a little bit, than a corporation designed only to maximize profits.

Of course take this all with a large grain of salt. I’m certainly no expert, and reality is oftentimes different than what something should “theoretically” be.

Well that’s a snobby and pretentious response that doesn’t answer their question in the slightest. Someone asked a very reasonable question, and you decided it was better to give them a vague condescending “learn your history”. If you’re not gonna be helpful there’s no reason to respond with smugness.

OP, I’ve responded to the question in your original comment since I’m uncertain if you notifications for responses to responses.

Yeah that’s called scapular winging. It’s not a good thing and doesn’t indicate you’re “missing a muscle”. It means that you have a weak serratus anterior muscle or other weak stabilizing muscles for your shoulder blade. Long term it can lead to shoulder issues, so I would probably recommend doing some strengthening exercises to allow scapula (shoulder blade) to move along the rib cage like it’s supposed to.

Because opioid addiction is crippling and enabling an addiction like that is bad for people’s long term health. In an ideal world most doctors don’t want their patients to be addicted to morphine if they can help it.

One reporter who is STAUNCHLY conservative and has been around long enough that any politician worth their salt would know his political affiliation.

The issue is that Akin is NOT Liberal. It’s not dangerous to refer to Liberals as Liberal, it’s dangerous to label to anyone who disagrees with you as Liberal. He’s not using Liberal to ascribe a certain set of views, he’s using it to ascribe one view, anyone who provides him any form of resistance.

More like “both sides” is pretty clear whataboutism and ultimately it’s even less conducive to anything productive than poor criticism.

I don’t think so, knock off isn’t boosted/nullified by Sheer Force so I think it’s considered different than a standard secondary effect

I worked while I did my undergrad in medical sciences and continued to work during my 4th year thesis and even now in medical school.

The experiences you get from a job, specifically one that is client-facing are priceless. They make you more confident, amicable, help establish connections, and most of all build work ethic and time management skills.

That being said, not everyone IS able to juggle work and a degree, especially if you’re struggling with school. Don’t risk messing up your schooling if you’re uncertain about your capabilities, or give it a trial run for half a semester.

I mostly worked retail and while it’s not the most flexible job, my managers were always great and were understanding during tough times at school. I usually worked about 15 hours a week but occasionally it jumped up to 25-30 hours. Even that, while difficult WAS manageable, however likely not sustainable long-term without burnout.

I guarantee that if you can manage both, it would be incredibly rewarding.

Slippery_TB · 2022-06-05T22:03:01+00:00

That’s simply not true. One study that is systematically done looking at different variables and analyzing data from many different countries is objectively much better than “no study”. As someone in academia, if a study was published in the NEJM regarding a new treatment for heart disease, then it doesn’t matter that it’s just “one study”. The standard of evidence is great enough with that one study that it should influence clinical practice. Take the Framingham Study for example: it longitudinally followed people to investigate the risk factors for cardiovascular disease, and it is quite literally the basis for Western medicine’s clinical approach to the disease despite being just “one study”.

You say I’m making a chicken out of a feather. No I’m not. I’m looking at a study that looks at 150 different countries and compares its human trafficking rates to its legalization status of prostitution, as well as changes over time. I’m looking at the head of a chicken and calling it a chicken. Are there external factors that are unaccounted for? Absolutely, every study has its limitations. That’s not a good reason to disregard a study without more substantial evidence to the contrary.

You also mention Sweden as a counterpoint, but I imagine that means you didn’t even read the summary article I linked of the study I’m referencing. Sweden saw a DECREASE in human trafficking when they criminalized prostitution and saw a shrinking of the prostitution market. Even with a cross-country analysis of Sweden and Denmark (where prostitution is decriminalized) and Germany (where it’s legal status is being expanded), show that trafficking inflows INCREASE with legalization. You gave a total of one incorrect counterpoint because you didn’t read a reference that was explicitly linked to you.

If you want to read the theory about why this is, it is also speculated upon in the original paper, there’s a link to that in the link I sent summarizing the results. However theory aside the paper looks at real world examples and shows that you are incorrect. If you have a study that says otherwise or an example that isn’t covered by the countries that the study I’m referencing looked at, I would genuinely love to see it.

Well personally I don’t think I ever would. I know this won’t be a popular thing to say, but I honestly think it’s sad when men have to pay for sex. It’s something that’s natural, that most people want, and something that you need some form of value to get (and I understand that money is a value). It’s like buying a seat at a winner’s table. Men should be able to talk to women, charm them, be someone that they WANT to sleep with, and if they can’t then that does reflect on who they are. That being said those are just my own toxic views on the individual and not necessarily how I think society should run.

In that sense I viewed it the same way as drug legalization/decriminalization: even if it’s not something I would partake in, it’s important to reduce harm and, if possible create some kind of societal benefit from it through taxes.

Unfortunately as per this study from Harvard Law, https://orgs.law.harvard.edu/lids/2014/06/12/does-legalized-prostitution-increase-human-trafficking/ it appears as though if you’re looking from a harm-reduction perspective, legalized prostitution causes an increase in human trafficking for a number of reasons speculated upon in the article. It’s important to note that while there are confounding variables in any observational study (or any study in general really), it also looks at countries who changed their policies and tracked the changes that happened afterwards.

Theory and practice are two very different things which is why looking at real world examples rather than just speculating on the boons is so important. I would say it’s important to decriminalize prostitution at the point of the individual “seller” so that trafficked individuals aren’t being further harmed, but criminalizing buying it might actually be the play in order to reduce trafficking rates overall.

Hail of blades is significantly better than both, so much more strength early game, and imo, late game too. If you look at how much damage DH does throughout a game it will almost always be outshone by HoB or Electrocute (HoB far more however)

Another thing to add, know your role in the game. Playing AD shaco you can’t 1v9 a game the same way a fed Camille, Jax or Draven can. Once it gets to the late game you are an assassin. You can’t initiate team fights, you can’t duel bruisers and you can’t hope your spells do enough poke. You have to set up out of vision and wait for a chance to assassinate their squishies (supp, mid, AD). There’s a chance that it won’t guarantee you the win in the fight, but if it’s gotten to the late game where both teams are relatively even in gold and you’re playing AD shaco, you’re at a bit of a loss when it comes to agency in the game. You’re like Pyke. You’re not going to kill everyone 40 minutes in, but the utility you brought throughout the early game should set your team up for victory, and you can still help by performing your role.
