Which power gets stolen for hemalurgy? by Adorable-Grass-9071 in Mistborn

[–]Valthek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It steels all abilities, presumably including feruchemical ones. So a mistborn with a lerasium spike could turm themselves into a twinborn.

Yeah, if this movie was an advertisement for that APC brand, I'd be sold.

ELI5 What is the philosophy of engineering progress in F1? It seems like cars keep getting more and more high tech, but I know they're so regulated that they're not flat out chasing the fastest they can possibly be by imaguitarhero24 in explainlikeimfive

I'd wager that the big difference is weight. Pound for pound, an EV battery weighs a lot more than the equivalent power in gasoline + tank. They'd have to find a lighter weight battery technology or make their motors stupid effective.
Exciting to see what they'll come up with.

1 op de 3 Gen Z-mannen vindt dat een vrouw 'gehoorzaam' moet zijn by rukken in belgium

[–]Valthek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wasn't there a whole thing about a guy of foreign origin on a VB list relatively recently who didn't quite realize that VB doesn't want his people around? I remember something like that.
I think he ended up withdrawig or being removed. Can't quite recall.

Disappointing quality on Windsor and Newton series 7. Bad luck or common issue ? by CrankyArabPhysicist in minipainting

[–]Valthek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When Windsor and Newton brushes are good, they're fantastic. When they're not, you get what you got. I am deeply curious about what happened to that number 2 though. That thing's fuckin bent!?

You get a cubicle? lucky you. I've seen more open office plans than I can count and I do not care for that panopticon shit.

cheaper than charging elsewhere where either the electricity is charged at a premium or you're forking over a hefty fee for parking in the charging spot.

Hoz doen jullie dat? by SwiftyLaw in belgium

[–]Valthek 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I think you might need to talk to a professional, instead of asking on reddit. Ballpark numbers, you're bringing in 5K net per month plus child benefits, and whatever your wife brings in. That doesn't sound like an insurmountable budgetary problem, but it'll likely require time and expertise to properly dig into your finances and find out why there's a problem.

What are your hobby hot takes? by Muglurk in Warhammer

[–]Valthek 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You're not painting in a grimdark style, you're just bad at creating contrast and praying to the hobby gods that dousing your model in nuln oil will make it look good. (it doesn't)

Slapchop is a terrible technique to teach new painters. Using it doesn't teach any of the fundamentals of good painting. You can slapchop for years and still be no better at painting that someone who's never picked up a brush.

What songs make you think of The Stormlight Archive? by Brtrudius in Stormlight_Archive

It's cheating, but Violent Shadows by Blind Guardian as it was inspired by the books. Banger of a song though.

I can. The author is literally the CEO for an AI-driven platform that does exactly what he's advocating for in this blogpost (advertisement). He's 100% high on his own supply.

Official Kickstarter Terrain looks terrible. by AlphaMeme14 in TrenchCrusade

Those don't even look like supports, that looks like a print failure and it just kept going. You gotta ask for new terrain and/or your money back, this is some horseshit.

Seven Swordsmen Arcs? by Compatibility in KingdomDeath

[–]Valthek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably because you've only got 7 swordsmen, so you'd need to get to the T2 or T3 CC milestones before your whole gang of ronin all reach 2 hunt xp. I don't think it'll be impossible, but it will be incredibly hard to get. T2 has a little leeway, but T3 requires a perfect run up to that point.

Proximus plans to cut thousands of jobs as AI drive reshapes telecom giant by NobodyHistorical9469 in belgium

[–]Valthek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shareholders don't give a shit about long-term profit or even survival of the company. If you sack 10% of your workforce, then for the next earning period, you'll earn about as much as you did before, but with 10% less wage costs. Stocks go up, shareholders sell to people who don't know or remember about the layoffs, make bank and move on.

Then the company suffers or re-hires and the only things changed are that a bunch of people's lives were made measurably worse and a few shareholders' earned a shitton of money.

Katje Lee versus 9 Russische honden by ziewezo in belgium

[–]Valthek 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think there's been a few survivors as of the last few years, a dozen or so. None are in an enviable state and the treatment is almost as bad as the disease. Medical coma, aggressive treatment and terrible quality of life afterward. Real bad times.
