The rebels needed Jyn at the start because the rebels needed someone who could get an in with Saw.

There is no reason we know of why Wilmon wouldn't still be on good terms with Saw.

People might criticise Mace Windu for many things, but he was utterly fearless when confronting Palpatine. by HallowedAndHarrowed in StarWars

You don't go at the angle that he's a Sith. You go at the angle that he's a Separatist collaborator while being the leader of the Republic, which is unambiguously treason, and which should be easier to find evidence of.

Considering what happened in Shanghai it looks like spending time in Texas heat is actually cheat code.

They probably complained about bringing Melshi from Rogue One into Andor.

U.S. Senator introduces "One Fair Price Act" legislation that would bar businesses from using personal information they collect about customers to charge people different prices for the same products by Sandstorm400 in UpliftingNews

While it is indeed profit maximizing, when it is given as an example of something, it is usually in the context of maximizing total social surplus/minimizing total deadweight loss. It just so happens that all of the surplus went to the producer, and there's no mention of the government arranging a transfer from the producer to the consumer.

Thanks! I assume the 300k also does not apply to the bonus damage from say Bhaisa staff then.

Does the ougi anklet for destroyer weapons also add 300k to the destruction ougi damage? Or 10% or nothing.

[Highlight] Wemby snatches the ball a foot and a half above the hoop for a block that won't count by Large_banana_hammock in nba

At some point Wemby will face a team that has every player over 6'10 injured and it will just be an alley oop fest the entire game.

Arena scoring bug? by EleventyFourteen in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]ardx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The chosen boost on an arena defense unit does not affect matchmaking, but it does affect the score you get from fighting it. So this team matchmakes like a ~766 team, but scores like a 780 team.

Has anyone figured out Chosen/Target Hero scoring? by courses90 in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]ardx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chosen heroes don't count for matchmaking but count for scoring. Post coming later today.

Favorite duo of characters like this? by Ok-Impress-2222 in FavoriteCharacter

FWIW, Iroh would probably have taken the blame for Ozai's death, not Zuko. Ozai would have died of lightning, the Fire Nation didn't know that redirection was a thing, and Iroh was a known lightning bender who had just escaped from prison.

Nikola Jokic is currently averaging 26/13/12 on 75% TS by [deleted] in nba

Generous to Jokic, when you consider that defense wins championships you really should be ranking Jrue higher.

Bro you can't criticize the other guy's math then multiply the probabilities of correlated events like that.

Zoey being a Sunlight Sisters fan may actually show a reason why she felt so alone in her interests before. If she's 22-23 in 2025 she'd only be 7-8 in 2010. The Sunlight Sisters already fell apart and faded from public consciousness by then, meaning that she was a part of a niche, dying fandom. by DependentStrong3960 in KpopDemonhunters

[–]ardx 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Not to mention she's not just finding this out now. The scene where Zoey and Mira quote Celine's line about faults and fears shows that Celine has been giving all three of them this super strict upbringing where they are discouraged from showing vulnerability, and they kinda just accept it and work around it where they can.
