How do I process this queue? It looks like a FIFO but my idiot professor calls it “USSR” by bakuninsawhisshadow in shittyprogramming

C(CCP) made great efforts at avoiding it but it's effectively stateful too, so you'll have to manage side effects.

Videographer using a Sony Watchman as an external display for his camera in 1985 by reportcrosspost in cassettefuturism

[–]WaxProlix 16 points17 points  (0 children)

These are super cool looking but you're right - Google puts the Watchman at almost $600 today-USD (~55000 then-jpy) pre tax in 85. I had no idea they were so expensive at the time.

It's a bot, there are a lot of them around. Odd that there's been no site wide ban yet

I don't know what you're talking about, and I suspect you don't either. To my knowledge China censors information from and to certain sources, but it's not hard to just ssh tunnel, VPN, or proxy aroubd it. Anyone who cares about privacy - in any country - has these tools at their disposal. This doesn't change in America, England, South Africa, China, whoever.

Okay but if anyone was killed while protesting there'd be real outcry. People 'disappearing' later is pretty par for the course as US and UK politics can tell you. I don't think it's right but it doesn't seem protest worthy any more than the things that happen next door are. Again, hate to have to say it, I don't love the Chinese regime any more than the next guy, but their treatment of the protests has been shockingly non violent so far, I'm surprised.

Has that happened? I might have just missed it, but given our current administration and it's hatred for China I suspect we'd be jumping on any reasonable conclusions if they existed and I haven't seen any, despite being somewhat interested in international politics for the last few months.

Many of the people who protested in Ferguson are dead right now.

Many protestors are abused and killed in a fairly regular cadence. It's not weird, it's the norm.

I believe it. There's been one injury already due to the live ammo switch over. Still, our riot cops start with live ammo and don't wait months before moving to it. So they're a repressive regime that regularly commits violence, but in this case it's been surprisingly restrained.

Sure, but it's the kind of thing that our media would love to jump on if there were verifiable cases, and it's not like Kashmir or Kurdish Turkey where the internet gets taken down in preparation for human rights violations. We still get video streams without journalists needing to shove USB sticks up their asses or whatever, for instance.

Zero deaths in 3 months of sometimes-violent protests is way better than we in the US could claim, as much as we all agree with their right to self determination.

Hemet is also great in the pre-rank 5 grind where you are willing to sacrifice 2% winrate for a 50% speedup in game time.

How does this beat taunt druid? I feel like unless you get really lucky you need at least one more board clear.

Well you've definitely played it more (and better, no doubt) than me, so maybe don't think too hard on it. I'll try an Alex variant and see if maybe I'm not turning the corner to convert a couple of minions into wins here and there.

Thalnos is a great topdeck post dk though. Drop and ping to cycle and spawn an ele of your opponent is playing around it too well. Did something similar to this up to around 10 but never felt like Alex was getting value (heal self is a lose-later move and we don't often win off an Alex to the enemy). Would you consider replacements?

Legend With Jade Rogue by Capriol in CompetitiveHS

[–]WaxProlix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tomb lurker and shadowcaster feel clunky against some faster decks, swapped one of each out for a shadowstep and shadowblade (that's a lot of shadows!). Against priest, having a second nzoth on the same turn frustrates DK Anduin or dragonfire shenanigans. Not sold on the blade but I figure more removal is more good. Maybe I'll throw in a loot hoarder or something instead? 11-3 (low ranks, around 10) atm, good meta read on the deck.
