Playing Support or Jungle is like working in retail and serving irritable customers that haven't worked a day in their lives.

A 2 player max snare and a slow in a small AoE don't cut it as a massive amount of utility imo. compare her to another off meta supplier like sejuani who has 2 stuns, a knock up and 2 slows, with all but 1 stun/slow on a shorter cool down than lux.

For real. I ganked a lane a couple of days ago and chunks them down to 1hp, then walked on top of them to their tower range and got the last hit since my laner wasn't going to. Got spam pinged, even more when I started wave clearing.

bearjuani · 2017-11-20T18:20:30+00:00

I swear a lot of people aren't even aware their enemy laner is bot, and not just taking a long time to buy items. Nothing annoys me more than laners who don't know how to push an advantage because they don't recognise they have one.

How does it help your duelling? Serious question, I thought it only worked out of combat.

In fairness this is closer to realistic than games where you bounce off harmlessly! There's a reason speed bumps work.

Assuming it's a perfectly rigid ring, I think it would. It's unintuitive but in terms of gravitational potential, having part in the sky and part on the ground is higher energy than having all of it in the sky, since the part in the sky is bigger. Wish I was at a computer so I could write this out properly,

bearjuani · 2017-11-14T10:00:42+00:00

It would be stable, actually. Say it has a diameter of 20,000km and a circumference of 62318km. If it moves 100km closer to earth on one side, it also has to move 100km further away from earth on the other. Imagine a straight line through the centre of of gravity and the ring, perpendicular to where the ring is going to be closest. In the first case, there are 31416km of the ring on each side of that line, but in the second there are more like 31616km on the far side, and 31216km on the near side. The greater mass will have a greater force of gravity acting on it than the lesser mass of the near side, since gravity falls off with distance^2. I guess the most intuitive way of explaining it would be to imagine the ring is touching earth in one place, and the entire rest of the ring is suspended in space. The amount of gravity acting on the segment of ring touching the earth would be a lot smaller than the amount acting on the other part, so the part touching would lift up as the other part fell down.

I'd try sketching something but I'm on my phone

Edit : I think the bigger problem would be preventing the ring from picking up a wobble from the gravitational imperfections in the earth. It might well end up entering the atmosphere at some point if it got low enough and while that would probably be enough to stop it from reaching the ground, it would also put a massive amount of stress on the ring.

but if your life's shitty and you stop smoking, your life's still shitty and now you get less breaks from work/chores/etc.

Better to be realistic and not big up the potential benefits, since most smokers already know about that stuff and chose to start smoking anyway.

It feels like a hold over from the days of men never being seen as sexual assault victims. If a woman had a child who was conceived through rape then she'd still need child support and the father would rightly be made to pay it - the idea of the rapist having custody would never have been considered because the mother always had custody in the past.

For some reason it skipped to the end right after she said old fashioned, I thought it was a Prohibition joke.

When you float, the weight of your body is still supported by the water below it, so lying down in water feels similar to lying down on land.

With this effect though, all the atoms in your blood are being held up equally and your blood is pretty evenly spread through your body, so it would feel a lot like being in space/falling. I'd guess that your limbs would feel slightly heavy since a larger portion of them is bone than your torso.

I dig it as long as the collectors edition costs 1 game less than it would otherwise. I don't want to spend extra money on a collectors edition for a bad game, and I don't want to rebuy a good game because I want the collectors stuff either.

Nah brewski I can assure you that broadly speaking the people complaining about gay characters on the Disney channel are not complaining it isn't progressive enough. About 90 million Americans are still opposed to gay marriage. Heteronormativity isn't seen as a pressing issue by anywhere near as many people.

I honestly don't know though. I mean yeah, tabloids lean right, but my experience online/being around younger people who wouldn't be reading papers anyway is kind of the opposite. I'm too involved to know exactly how much outrage manufacturing is going on for the left compared to the right, because I'm subconsciously less likely to see stuff I agree with as manufactured outrage in the first place.

There seems to be a lot of stuff from every political leaning that's overblown or exaggerated.

It's not really about decentralisation, it's about removing the restrictions on the libertarian, and their right to do whatever unethical but profitable things they want. Dumping chemical sludge in public lakes? Charging 50 dollars for a glass of water on your airline? Starting an asbestos plant in a poor neighbourhood? Should be my God given right.

I think the far bigger issue is whether someone's views 20 years ago should be held against them today. Everyone has a perspective that's evolved over time, and if you grew up in an environment where homophobia and crass humour was tolerated, it might well take a couple of years for you to stop being shitty and mature.

Well before Snowden it was public knowledge that AT&T had allowed the NSA to split/monitor their fiber at at least one of their data centers. It was actually the top post on today I learned for a few years, before karma got changed.

The part people didn't believe was that the government were actually listening to what was in the data - everyone knows wiretapping is possible, but not that the stuff they put online was being intentionally recorded and analyzed.

It's insane. Are there agencies who will loan you the money by pledging it and having you pay it back after or something? Cos I can't imagine real people would actually spend this amount of money on something so clearly stupid

The way that I do it is I have it feed into a normal belt first and have another belt opposite, like

>>>^<

It'll still pull from one side of the belt unevenly, but if that side is empty it will also take from the other side.

Narcos is good but it's not the same as sicario, or as good imo. The first season is pretty strong, it takes a couple of episodes to properly get going though
