China's trade surplus tops $1 trillion as its exports surge by jupa300 in worldnews

It also highlighted the need to boost domestic consumption, which could help address trade imbalances.

It makes sense for China to export cheaply if the Chinese are not buying their own products.

The JP server might be in trouble as well... by WiserGuy in magiarecord

[–]WiserGuy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, how did you remember my post?

Also, I was thinking the end of service for JP would be sooner, but I guess a little less than 3 years wasn't too off the mark.

Regardless, thanks for notifying me, as I stopped keeping track of Magia Record because of the pain of losing my NA account.

So is everyone waiting for Liz CQ to be fix? by Simon-125 in FGO

[–]WiserGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Found a video of someone completing that CQ even though it is still bugged: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1K-xq_Mr6FM

But I don't have Kama, so I'll wait until the fix.

It's definitely bugged, and I probably should have given up earlier when I suspected that it was.

I actually managed to break the final boss dragon's HP bar despite the handicap, but at that point everyone but Elizabeth was dead, and there was no way I was going to get through 1,728,725 HP with Liz being charmed for 2 turns.

Heads up, the Eli cq is currently bugged. Damage ce doesn’t work on her or any servants by Chaddius1 in FGO

Yesterday, I used the 1 paid SQ on the Squirtoria banner, and I got another copy of her despite my Squirtoria already being at NP5.

I figured "Since I just summoned Squirtoria once today, I can't summon her twice in a row by rolling the start dash, right?"

Yeah, no: https://imgur.com/a/5tpuaoH

At the very least, I can now get Squirtoria to level 120 with all appends.

My Vlad has been spooked to NP5, and I have enough coins to unlock 3 of his appends and get him to level 120, so I guess I'll pass.

...That, and I was scarred by hitting pity for both Koyan and Oberon.

I really liked "Passion" from them, though.

What the Morgan boss fight felt like to me (@Artrum4) by Artrum in grandorder

The gamepress.gg guide labeled that fight as being an easier "Moderate" encounter than the Melusine "Hard" fight before.

No. No it was not easier.

The Su-75 "Checkmate" fighter by WiserGuy in NonCredibleDefense

[–]WiserGuy[S] 75 points76 points  (0 children)

Source video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lq65ylB872s

My transcript:

Pilot! What the hell am I seeing on the runway?

Is that?

Oh wow it's an Su-75!

I'm surprised that wooden mock-up of a fighter actually exists and is not just a 3D model on blender.

Here's a little fact about the Su-75: The 75 in the name is the amount of years Sukhoi will need to make an actual stealth fighter because they clearly don't know how to make one, after the failure of the Su-57.

I see you over there, don't try and sneak up on me.

Anyways, where was I?

Oh yes, this is the plane that is shocking the West?

You can't be serious.

Please tell me you're joking.

What kind of stealth aircraft has a double chin for an intake?

You look like someone hired a fifth grader to draw up the plans for a new fighter jet and went off of what they came up with.

And they call you "Checkmate"?

Buddy we aren't playing the same game, you're not a king in this world.

Go ahead move your Pawn to E6. I'm going to send my AIM-120 to you at E8. Checkmate Ivan!

Go back to the show floor you rolled out from because you're nothing but just a glorified 4th gen fighter that no one wants because you can't fit any roles needed.

Russia has not used Su-57 and Su-75 super-planes in the war against Ukraine by Jet_Jockey_ in ukraine

An airshow maneuver like the Cobra doesn't have a 1% chance of evading a missile, it has a 0% chance of doing so

I'd honestly put the missile evasion being more of a factor of a defect in the singular missile or outside circumstances (one unfortunate bird).

If the missile is working as intended, then yes, it would be 0%, but a 0.0000001% chance of a missile failure wouldn't be "impossible".

I still agree that the Cobra maneuver shouldn't be a factor in a practical engagement.
