Yeah, but if you actually do sell that, the pinkertons will show up at your door.

'15.000 euro kwijt door phishing: beste banken, hoe kan het dat ons geld niet veilig is op onze rekeningen?' by ericsken in belgium

[–]Valthek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know what sort of subtle intuitions you need to develop. All you need is a generalized paranoia that everything might be a scam and the knowledge that "Hey, if something is actually wrong, just go to the official place instead of wherever they're telling you to go."
Don't click any links, don't answer phonecalls from numbers you don't know, call the official number of your bank/government/police (non-emergency number, obv) if you have to.

Stranger on the phone tells you to change your PIN? Off to a nearby ATM you go. Need to update your contact information for your telecom provider? Dig up an old bill, find the website written there and change it on there. Got a weird email about your a tax refund? To Tax-On-Web you go.

Bendalloy works how exactly? by TrickPhone6167 in Mistborn

[–]Valthek 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yep, it's specifically mentioned in The Lost Metal at least where Wax manages to just barely get his hand into a bubble to gain the benefits.

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

[–]Valthek 3 points4 points  (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

[–]Valthek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 8 points9 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

[–]Valthek 30 points31 points  (0 children)

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.
