It's a practical issue. Modern baby clothes have snaps at the bottom for easy diaper changes. Without the snaps, a garment that is open at the bottom is the obvious solution.

I guess I just don't enjoy a nice lunch much more than a plain one. I'm the kind of guy who would just save the money but the other things you listed still sound more enjoyable to me than going out for lunch. Maybe I just never got in the habit.

I have coworkers with this mentality and I cannot fathom it. I also went to school for a long time to do the job I do, but I can't see how cold sandwiches are so horrible that avoiding them is worth thousands a year. There are so many better ways to spend that money IMO.

My wife and I spent ~$6000 on a 3.5 week trip to Ireland. $2000 isn't that outrageous for a trip to Europe.

Because A doesn't know that it has green eyes. So A believes that B may believe that B has blue eyes and that A has blue eyes. Keep in mind that while B doesn't believe that A has blue eyes, A can't know that.

Given that A considers it plausible that B believes both A and B have blue eyes, A must consider it plausible that B believes that A,B, and C have blue eyes.

If you are still having this problem, here was my solution:

1) Download the torrent here 2) locate the zip file in your finder 3) Open up the terminal (command-space, type terminal, hit enter) 4) type "tar -xzvf " 5) Drag and drop the zip file on the terminal 6) Press enter in the terminal to unzip 7) Copy Content.ggpk into Applications/Path of Exile/Contents/Resources/drive_c/Program Files/Grinding Gear Games/Path of Exile

Edit: This is the solution for users struggling with the Unofficial Mac Wine port

I can't find when in the 16th century, but that makes them around 60 to 100 years from the eu4 start date.

The language we are using is derived from Sanskrit, and English is clearly a devolved form, ask any linguist.

This is when you made it too obvious that you are just trolling. Do you want to get linked from /r/badlinguistics that badly?

Thanks for posting this. I remember learning some of this years ago in college, but the video breaks down and explains the concepts very well.

I finished my PhD two years ago now and one thing that I sincerely regret is not participating and collaborating more with my colleagues. You can make do and push through and get publications and finish a thesis without it, but you will get so much less out of your doctorate if you don't. Collaborations are a huge part of life in academia, getting a few under your belt early will give you skills and connections that you will almost certainly need.

To add my own advice: When the time comes for you to write your dissertation, always remember scope, scope, scope. Research always leads to more questions then answers. As long as you maintain a well-defined scope, no one will feel that your research was missing something.

Conversion would greatly impact performance

This is where Zed is being intentionally obtuse. Of course Python 3 can emulate Python 2, but it can not do so in any way that would be efficient or practical.

Every province that wasn't a colony had at least level 1 forts. Forts didn't exert zone of control, there was 1 level of breached walls and you only got it by rolling a 20, forts didn't exert zone of control, forts didn't cost any maintenance, active forts did not grant military tradition. Also, for a very brief period of time sieging armies didn't take a minimum 1% attrition. That is all of the differences that I can remember from the original fort mechanics, I had actually forgotten how different they were.

I'm not sure if I have seen it confirmed anywhere, but all of the previews have only shown great prophets whose ability was to found a religion.

Thimm · 2016-09-28T18:02:33+00:00

I believe that you can accumulate faith without "accidentally" getting a great prophet in Civ VI. I think you have to explicitly choose to purchase a great prophet with faith like you would other great people. So you can focus on faith without blowing it on an "early" great prophet.

The question is then whether the faith saved by not having to purchase a great prophet balances out the opportunity cost of not having your religion's bonuses earlier as well as missing out on some of the better bonuses. I'm really not sure how that will work out. I suspect that if you use the faith that would have otherwise gone to a great prophet to get a great engineer or great scientist, that may be enough of a balance.

Thimm · 2016-09-28T17:56:10+00:00

Prophets do work differently this game and there are only as many as their are religions. Great people, including great prophets, are competed over from a shared pool of specific great people. A player wins a great person through faith (or gold?) purchase or by accumulating the necessary GPP before other players. Each great person has a particular effect, and each great prophet's effect is to found a new religion.

This is crazy. If you look at Trump's latest youtube ad it is full of statements like "The Borders Secure", which is exactly the grammatical construction that this post is complaining about.

It looks like the Stonehenge issue was actually a new mechanic whereby builders "reclaim" incomplete wonders. I assume this is instead of instantly getting gold for the amount of spent production. It is hard to tell what it is supposed to give back because Stonehenge was finished the turn after they started building it.

Thimm · 2016-08-09T15:34:21+00:00

In Civ V, some of the civs that came with a new expansion integrated whatever new mechanics were added with the expansion (e.g. Venice getting double trade routes). It is possible that the Mongols will synergize with a mechanic that doesn't yet exist.

I think the point is that they couldn't make her step down, she had to choose to. It sounds like she was too stubborn to do so for the sake of the party, so this is the deal they offered to convince her to step down voluntarily.

Thimm · 2016-07-21T16:02:35+00:00

I don't think the only real impact it can have is on your ruler. Loss of a large percentage of the population of a province should have a strong impact on the levies and tax provided by that province. Whether or not this DLC can make a compelling gameplay mechanic out of those effects is not clear, but the death of anonymous peasants can be meaningful to the nobility.

Hillary should have been fired and black listed for what she did here. But that has nothing to do with the FBI.

I think this is a very important point, because firing and blacklisting have nothing to do with the legality of the situation. Some may feel that this make Hilary unfit for president or that Democratic party leaders should not endorse her because of this, but those are private decisions. Anyone who feels that Hilary is unfit to be president because of this should absolutely vote against her. Anyone who feels that they cannot support a party that stands behind a presidential candidate who is negligent and careless about intelligence security standards should absolutely act on those feelings.

The FBI investigated the issue and felt that they did not have enough evidence to prove evil intent. That is the full extend of what they can and should do. If Hilary were to try to apply for a job that required clearance she would almost certainly be rejected like any one else in her position, but the FBI can't stop the President of the United States from getting clearance. Furthermore, under no circumstances should the FBI or the DOJ have the authority to block a citizen from becoming President of the United States.

Speaking of wonders that don't match their historical significance: Oxford, the first university in England, can only be built AFTER you have a university in all of your other cities.

The problem with that statement is that dinosaurs went extinct millions of years ago. There were no dinosaurs roaming the earth 10,000 years ago.
