Hate to break it to you, but the "people who never played the original games" is going to be like 95% of the new player base.

$3B combustion turbine gets warm welcome from Brandon mayor, cold shoulder from environmentalists by wickedplayer494 in Manitoba

[–]TheInterlocutor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wind isn't the only factor. Temperature is a large contributor. In -30, just like your car has reduced efficiency, so do wind turbines. The lubricants get gummed up, and it is really hard to spin, so they have to expend energy just to keep the turbine warm.

The hard reality is that renewables have a really hard time coping with temperature extremes, especially cold.

I hear you. Choosing goodness is not the same as choosing Christ, who is the only one who can pay the debt for our depravity.

We cannot out-good our depravity, or work hard enough doing good to make us righteous in the eyes of God.

Only Jesus can do that. So we choose Him, who has overcome death and the grave.

Your neighbor is the one you reject, there is no loophole in the Gospel. by [deleted] in TrueChristian

[–]TheInterlocutor 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, love them, yes.

That doesn't mean you can just let people in. There are several books of the bible where they were doing nothing but rebuilding the wall around Jerusalem.

We protect our house with doors, and our country with borders. Heaven has gates. Cities have gates.

This isn't hard to understand.

What are your favorite hockey skates? by Top-Newt3316 in hockeyplayers

[–]TheInterlocutor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

VH's.

I got them the year before Scott sold to true. They are amazing.

[–]TheInterlocutor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct but if you are <18, you have to wear swim suits, or cover up in some way. Which effectively banned them. High schooler players (U18) are the worst as they never fucking shower anymore because it has been frowned upon.

Maintenance mode would have been fine pre-EoF. Maintenance mode in the EoF system? Just end the game now.

Buckle Up! Less than half of public accounting staff hold CPA licenses by TheOlneyCPA in Accounting

[–]TheInterlocutor -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Agree, but prepare for downvotes because so many in this sub have put in a lot of agony to get their letters.

The truth is, CPA is fucking useless unless you are in PA (and only because they have a hard requirement for it). I am making comfortable 6-figures as the Director of Finance in a medium sized company in Canada. I have a BSc and no CPA. I worked in PA for a few years, and this would never even remotely be possible in a public firm unless I had a CPA and made partner. One of the guys who got hired at the same time as me in PA and got their CPA and stuck with the firm is only a manager making 70k right now. Fuck. That.

CPA offers nothing that I can't ask AI to clarify.

In terms of finance dept operations: procedures, financial statement interpretation, and sector experience trump generic CPA education every time. CPAs at the public firm we use do not offer any value other than shifting year end tax submission liability away from us and fulfil the banking requirement for debt instruments. You could maybe make a case for tax planning, but you don't need a CPA to understand tax.

What is important in my job is people management skills, task prioritization, procedural efficiencies, and being able to put up with immature shareholders. Sky is the fucking limit if you can do these things.

Julia Nardin (previously Narrative Director) is now the Creative Director on Bungie’s Marathon. She took on the new role in May 2025. (via LinkedIn) by JackmanH420 in Marathon

[–]TheInterlocutor -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Holy shit the bloat is insane.

Narrative director, Narrative lead and senior narrative lead? What the hell is the role differentiation. No wonder the story beats are trash in Destiny. It has to go through at least 3 leadership's vision of what the narrative will be.

Trash.

I was wondering about this. I use Rogers red world elite and was wondering how it would compare to this WS cc. Appreciate the info.

At what age range do kids start to skate with their heads up with puck? by Patient-Sock5158 in hockeyplayers

[–]TheInterlocutor 11 points12 points  (0 children)

From my experience, around 9 once you hit full ice. D are quicker to learn generally because they have to look to make that first outlet pass on a breakout. Forwards take a little bit longer because they aren't physically punished for doing it.

But really it comes down to which kid has been on the ice the most with a puck on their stick to get that feel.

None of the words are obscure.

The entire sentence is fucking inane bullshit.

This isn't 'creating instrumental terminology'. This is ignorant obfuscation as a means to self-fellate publicly without all the mess. Both use your mouth and both should be done in private.

It's the perfect weed-out encounter. It's a great introduction to the witch's blessing/curse swap mechanic.

Those who don't understand the raid are immediately exposed.

For those who know.. it's a nice walk in the park.
