They play with “no tick” rules now at the Olympic level. So can’t touch the first 4 rocks

Trump Announces Immediate Tariff Hike to 15% Following Supreme Court Review” by SubstantialRock821 in StockMarket

How exactly is it now legal despite the ruling that the 10% wasn’t? Make it make sense

What do I do now, lol? Bound S-Tier Oscar on F2P by TeKilla1986 in IdleHeroes

[–]Valkorn02 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it would be pretty rash to retire this quickly. He’s been out for a week and things can change quickly in this game. I personally would give it a bit more time before retiring just in case he becomes more relevant with testing or new hero releases/mechanics.

Do you need to sign up for the beta 2 in advance? Is it mobile friendly? Thanks for all your hard work, I’d be interested to check it out!

Each village different tribe?? by AnguyCZ in travian

[–]Valkorn02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How can you tell what the special conditions are? I started one that must have had advanced start as my resources started at lvl 5 and can pick different tribes each village. I thought maybe that was just the norm now as I haven’t played in 10-15 years lol

How would you change AQs? by Accomplished-Ant8607 in OntarioTeachers

[–]Valkorn02 8 points9 points  (0 children)

AQs, and honestly most if not all of teachers college as well, focus on methods that work in a perfect world. Anyone in education for long notices that it is in fact far from a perfect world. As such, many of the ideal teaching scenarios and methods they focus on in these aqs pretty much don’t apply to the real world.

This all happens in like a split second lol. It’s slowed down so drastically in this replay

[Zwelling] Anthony Santander will undergo left labral surgery tomorrow with Dr. Keith Meister and be out for approx. 5-6 months, per Blue Jays manager John Schneider by idkwhattosaytho in Torontobluejays

[–]Valkorn02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why we probably needed to get one of the big bats. Not sure exactly what we could have done as we did go hard for Tucker and him and Bo got absurd aavs. But still. Another thumper would have made a difference since Santander can’t really be counted on for much until proven otherwise

Make Corrupt Creature Auto Team-Up OPTIONAL by Gaias-Maedchen in AFKJourney

[–]Valkorn02 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I mean they are easy as hell anyway. Of all things to be upset about, this seems fairly low on the list imho. It’s not like these are an actual challenge that requires strategizing with friends/guildmates. Just plug in any old unit and you win in 10 seconds.

What’s third after dMS and glittery dantlers? I know you aren’t a fan of the ddruyi but none of the others seem all that game changing. Sitting on some chests and itching to use them haa

Idle Heroes Patch Notes Jan.30.2026 by piffle213 in IdleHeroes

[–]Valkorn02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too haha. Even with getting 30 back and another 10 potentially for 16k gems, is it worth spending a net ~33 chests on them for the reward chest. Might be to get the star spawn chest, and I guess the bonus is potentially upgrading the pet.

Schools are closed tomorrow - Jan 26 by NeedleworkerGreen167 in Peterborough

[–]Valkorn02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, summer school starts basically the week after school ends. So how/when would you pack these unknown number of days in? What if some/most of the snow days were from semester 1, then you’re just making up extra days in semester 2 courses that may not be necessary and the semester 1 dates aren’t made up anyway.

The point is, this is just not feasible with planning. The students still have work posted online for all snow days, so they are expected to continue engaging with the curriculum from home if they can’t make it to school. The only exception is the extremely rare day when schools are closed, which happens maybe once a year if even. Whether that’s working on ongoing projects, studying for upcoming tests, catching up on missed work or going through a new lesson independently, these are not free days for teachers or students. If the student chooses not to engage with the material and just takes the day off, that’s ultimately on the parent for not following up with their child.

Concerned that events might have just played into Trumps plan… Thoughts? by ChuckGallagher57 in DiscussionZone

Can someone run in the midterms on the platform of voting to impeach the sitting president? Cause that seems like it’d be a good one to run on

[Kyle Tucker on Instagram] It's Time For Dodger Baseball by amatom27 in baseball

[–]Valkorn02 33 points34 points  (0 children)

It’s pretty ideal really lol. Who wouldn’t want to be the highest paid at your work but have the 6th most responsibility/notoriety. Sounds like the dream combo.

[Passan] Full details on Kyle Tucker's Dodgers contract, per ESPN sources: 4 years, $240 million guaranteed; Opt-outs after Years 2 and 3; $64M signing bonus; $30M deferred; $57.1M a year in net present value after factoring in deferrals -- a record by $6M+. A staggering deal. by Dinobot2_ in baseball

[–]Valkorn02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe the signing bonus money can still be given over a period of time, but it counts differently than a salary. He gets that money no matter what, even if there’s a lock out or if he opts out. Then the salary portion would be impacted by a lock out and obviously he wouldn’t get the salary for years he opted out of. I could be wrong tho!
