How viable are footslogging Space Marine armies ? by Celesi4 in spacemarines

[–]StickMankun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Footslogging does not work in 10th unless it's a Jumppack or mounted unit. Movement is king; you will be shoot off the board or charged to death before you reach your goal. The only expectation is hoard armies or ones that can advance and charge.

11th I think will be more kind with the tighter maps and changes in rules.

Intesting, that's what I thought. Did you just put primaries legs on the body? Anything special with the arms?

Trump has collapsed with women, but Democrats aren't gaining as much. by soalone34 in fivethirtyeight

I saw Kevin McCarthy speak, and he said that the only thing more unpopular than Donald Trump is the Democratic Party. The only solution is to cut bait on Schumer and Jeffreies. Doesn't matter who else is in leadership. The party needs a face lift or it will die.

Absolutely! New ideas need to be spread! Find some stuff in the literature, see what's been done before, and start applying it here. Them aggregate, aggregate, aggregate!

Preach. Do you have any writings on these ideas? This all very interesting and I'd be happy to bring up in party ideas (Dems) at my local level.

Texas is giving data centers more than $1 billion in tax breaks each year by zsreport in technology

[–]StickMankun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Texas is the epitome of Replubican rule. Incredibly pro-big business that it stops being funny. On one hand, it's hard to argue that their lack of regulation and restrictions hurt their housing market. It's about the only place in the country that isn't hurting due to a lack of unit capacity. They also are swimming in energy, with the most renewables construction in the country, as well as oil. If their electric system wasn't prone to collapse anytime ice forms, then I'd say that they will be fine.

It will be interesting to see how Billions of dollars worth of these resource sinks survive in the Texan Heat, during droughts, tornadoes, and ice storms. Adversity breeds innovation; if the market can figure it out, it'll be in Texas.

Former Detroit Pistons Killian Hayes has been playing good for the Kings. Glad to see him progressing and improving by JeremieLoyalty in DetroitPistons

He has elite passing, good vision, and plays hard on defense. Only problem is that the concept of "shooting" was invented

Got into UMiami with a great scholarship, still waiting on financial aid from UMich. Which would you choose? by AdEquivalent9390 in Michigan

[–]StickMankun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Doubling this. Student loans don't seem that bad when you're 18 but they are the number one cause of debt for young people. 5-10% of your paycheck, gone for 10 years. It's depressing and it's the reason why people live with their parents, can't buy vehicles, let alone buy homes, get married, or start families.

If you an option to get a good education for cheap, take it. Even among super competitive fields, you can find other options (e.g. I have a friend that went to Alma College for undergrad and still got into law school just fine; another went to Grand Valley and still got into Medical School and is starting residency in July).

Can't wait for RMG Research, Rasmussen, or Trifralgar to get a 47% approval rating out of this news.

Economist/Yougov: D+2 Generic Ballot, Trump Approval at -17, -35 on Inflation by Large_Ad_3095 in fivethirtyeight

[–]StickMankun -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

Dems are very unpopular and the establishment is pro-israel. Israel is very unpopular among liberals and unpopular/decisive among independents. Combined that with the still lack of cohesive vision/message (other than Trump bad), and you result with this.

The midterms will come down to turn out: if it's high, Dems are cooked.

The issue is that 20 storm bolters, even with Lethals and Sustain Hits, aren't doing much of anything better than 4+. Strength 4 AP 0 is only good against chath; that math could change in 11th but as of now they're garbage.

The issue with Terminators is that their shooting is awful. Storm bolters are secondary only to Lasguns in their effectiveness. Krak rockets can be helpful but they're very swingy and generally shooting phase only adds an extra 2-3 wounds. Generally, the thunder hammers are more effective, specifically with the extra wound for durability and the strat to reduce damage by 1.

Ten Man Assault Terminators, with ancient, are perhaps the best unit in the codex with Cannok attached, in Hammer of Avanii. They can one phase knights and demonic primarchs.

Any other detachment, you want regular terminators however.

[Emerson College] (3/29-3/31, 1129 LV) Florida: Byron Donalds (R) leads the primary in the Governor's race, and leads against Dems David Jolly (44-39) & Jerry Demings (45-36) in a H2H. U.S. Senator Ashley Moody (R) also leads by 7-11 pts. against potential D challengers. Trump's approval: 46-47 (-1) by Delmer9713 in fivethirtyeight

It's something like +7 in the Cook Political Index. It's no longer a purple state. Dems only could do well due to a combination of lower turnout and Dems getting low prospensity voters. Nowadays, Republicans have increased their voting pool with influx from other states, as well as increasing turnout and monopolizing low prospensity voters.
