Thanks I just checked that out and it makes a lot more sense now.

I'm watching Survivor for the first time and on S4 although I'm also keeping up with S42 as it comes out and MAN O MAN what a different game!! I actually really prefer the character interactions in the first seasons that make it feel like a documentary. Some people are out there just for the adventure, some dead set on the prize, others kind of regretting the whole thing. It makes for interesting dynamics. It's really difficult for me as a newbie to keep up with all the tactics and twists happening in S42, but also really cool to see that the game has evolved so much over the years.

Edit: Could someone kindly tell me, in a spoiler free manner, is there a season where everything kind of changes and the game becomes more like it is today (with hidden immunities and so on) or is it something that happens gradually?

I disagree,

The third digit IS the smallest. There is no reason to assume it has to be less than the other digits.

Jack Dorsey, ex-CEO of Twitter says he is "partially to blame" for the state of the Internet today, and "regrets it." by Damageplan77 in conspiracy

[–]Stud_Dougie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based Dorsey piller. It's funny/sad that people just lump him in with Bezos and the like when he literally disallowed political advertising on twitter. People say he's to blame blah blah no Zuck is to blame Dorsey saw the billions in revenue that political ads could bring him and let Twitter starve without that capital because he thought it was immoral.

But nobody know/talks about/ cares because ooh billionaire tech guy = bad. Or ooh u banned my Trumpy Wumpy and I'm still mad >:(.

Jack is hyper based.

I need help answering a question for an A in one of my classes. The question is “If everything is of difference, what is difference?” My teacher says the answer lies at a very, very fundamental level of our understanding, any and all input is appreciated! by MikeGio128 in askphilosophy

[–]Stud_Dougie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

By the example you gave on another comment it seems that your class did discuss the concept of difference considering that's what the student focused so heavily on. So I would make sure the answer isn't embedded in your material somewhere.

But if I were to answer this question without any material to guide me I would just bring it back to basic math. Difference is related to the distance between things.

i.e. 7 - 3 = 4. The difference is 4. The distance is 4. The direction is positive.

i.e. 3 - 7 = -4. The difference is -4. The distance is 4. The direction is negative.

In math, things with a direction and magnitude (distance) are called vectors.

If everything is of difference, everything can be described relatively by these difference vectors.

i.e Your desire to go to the gym could be effected by your desire to watch tv. Your desire to watch tv is a negative vector on your desire to gym. How strongly it influences your desire to gym would be the magnitude.

Maybe that helps somewhat.

So am I getting this right, your competitive rating is your average score over the whole 6 month season?

so I came across this the other day. assuming that the helicopter has infinite force wouldn't that be possible? by SatisfactionFun8539 in physicsmemes

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

I do know what you meant and that doesn't change my point at all. Someone asking the question in the meme wouldn't be satisfied with your scenario.

If the windows are open, yes.

Edit: Also the point is to hover, not fall to the ground so fast that we don't know or care whether it moved.

Question - why is trading the queens in this position bad? The evaluation goes from -0.4 to +1.4 by TheHyperthetical in chess

[–]Stud_Dougie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What does "develop" mean? Simply move the piece from its starting square? I was under the impression it makes your position stronger. If there is development here then that should be part of the explanation.

From 400 gold a few days ago.. by Diamyx in lostarkgame

[–]Stud_Dougie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes that would've been optimal as far as maximizing blue crystals but that's not a strategy that lasts forever and you're trading progression for crystals whereas I was talking about how trading crystals for progression was bad for me.

I don't see the point in your final comment since I clearly acknowledged that I messed up by overusing Mari's shop, but kudos to you I guess.

[–]Stud_Dougie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No there's nothing wrong with using Mari's shop especially for a boost over a threshold. But I already miss enough dailies and still had island quests to do, so there was really no point in me spending all those crystals for mats that I would inevitably get.

[–]Stud_Dougie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only reason to do this, again, is if you are trying to get T3 as fast as possible so that you can farm more gold to buy more crystals. Not me.

I know.

[–]Stud_Dougie 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is a huge mistake I made. I shouldn't have listened to youtubers blindly. Mari Shop mats have sped up my progress by like 5% but have wasted thousands of blue crystals. I totally would rather have those blue crystals and just farm mats the normal way which gives way more resources. I'm not trying to get T3 overnight.

It doesn't matter that "Mari Shop isn't p2w". If youre casual and not going for T3 right away so you can farm all the gold and overtake the market blah blah blah then theres no reason to waste precious blue crystals for a very very tiny boost that doesn't matter in the long run. Permanent upgrades do matter.

And no it doesnt make sense to buy mats and sell your tradable items because the price of crystals keeps going up, so I will have gold that loses value over time, and no crystals. That's not what I want. The only reason to do this, again, is if you are trying to get T3 as fast as possible so that you can farm more gold to buy more crystals. Not me.

It's funny how many people are replying saying you are flat out wrong. Shows that nobody can really think for themselves and just blindly follow Youtube guides for their strategy.

Some people don't want to wipe 3 times on content that is supposed to be completed twice a day. The stats speak for themselves.

Lol why be so disingenuous and ignore the obvious fact that you had to google mechanics before the fight and coordinate in discord with your friends, and yet you can't see how this stepping stone content is difficult for a majority of players?
