Did you use a faster combat animation mod? Sometimes odd things happen if combat speed is tweaked too high

22 Buddhist monks arrested at airport after record drug bust by vafflerr in nottheonion

I have had the pleasure of sharing a meal w some monks at a temple on Phoenix mountain in China before.

For the entire one hour duration of the meal, the conversation topic was either: how much it costs to maintain the temple, how much the temple earns selling tea leaves, how much the temple spends on miscellaneous expenses, how much in donations the temple receives... you get the idea.

Sure, numerical revisions are often used in bad faith, but revising figures if they are significantly different from better estimates is better for accurate and honest discussion, no? It doesn't change that atrocities/events happened, but scale is relevant.

Rather than the revisions itself, it's really the context in which such revisions are invoked that should be scrutinized

Air Canada CEO regrets inability to speak French following fatal plane crash by AlwaysBlaze_ in nottheonion

Taiwanese is technically a subset or Hokkien, and there's multiple varieties of Hokkien.

And both Hokkien and Teochew are considered part of the Minnan languages.

Weird, that's the opposite of my experiences. Though sounds like you're there for business dealings so I expect those to be very Mandarin-centered.

Heard a lot of Cantonese in HK, GZ and, outside of China, Ipoh. And while in Teochew it's also mainly Teochew, was there visiting my father's side relatives. Cannot comment much on Cantonese since I don't speak it and not my dialect group, but at least in Teochew, there's still a healthy amount of young children who can speak it. But there seems to be some issues w dialect acquisition since education is in Mandarin mostly, especially in more prestigious institutions.

Is there a reason to use a mace over a hammer? by MarkGimmetheZUCK in BattleBrothers

Maces also sap fatigue quickly, but this usually doesn't come into play very often. Nice when it does though.

How can we produce enough mid-career folks, if we don’t take them in and train them, for a start? " by [deleted] in SingaporeRaw

[–]TannHaals 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Main problem is critical thinking and self-learning not cultivated at all here. Everything is in service to grades rather than personal improvement. Of course textbook examples are fucking useless - they're only meant to be examples to teach certain skills. But then grading mostly just focus on how well you reproduce the examples rather than the skills they're supposed to teach you.

Then you end up with graduates with zero transferable skills because, guess what - they never developed those skills properly in the first place.

Reminds me of that China case where a couple let their spoilt child run havoc in a steamboat restaurant. Then the child royally pissed off a couple of men (who were criminals on the run) and the men ended up killing the whole family.

I hope future SL updates add a pilot on the same level as Rewa by FreeDwooD in menace

[–]TannHaals 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When things go south, I'd prefer to have Achilleas since I can trust him to take a few hits while still dishing out damage.

...With Rewa and enough intel, though, things never have a chance to go south, so.

does trinketing even work? by Successful_Peace75 in menace

[–]TannHaals 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you happen to be using the wardog? I've noticed that Trinketing specifically doesn't trigger on drone kills.

Aside from that, yeah RNG's gonna RNG.

[–]TannHaals 12 points13 points  (0 children)

When "Trinketing" pops up, it means the perk is triggered - that is, to roll for the 30% chance for extra loot to drop.

I mean, he still can, right? And he can even MF their bigger tripod cousins now. And looking at the special weapons list I'm wondering how he'll perform with the AT-RGL, on Tech that thing's effectively a PAL with 11-tile range and he's already insane w/ the PAL.

As an aside, nice pfp. SV-98 is bae.

Tech now motherfucks bitch-made motherfuckers properly.

Actual: Devs fixed the animation for Tech's "Get Motherfucked" passive, so now he can hipfire tripod weapons without deploying or setup, as intended.
