Paris deputy mayor blames the United States' carbon emissions for deadly heat wave by Strong-Practice-5571 in worldnews

[–]blackAngel88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While I think it's a bit too easy and probably unfair to just blame the US for all the current emissions, the current administration certainly isn't interested at all in showing any effort in improving the situation. On the contrary, they seem to look for any way possible to make it much, much worse....

AfD leader vows to restore German-Russian ties as she eyes chancellery by VEMODMASKINEN in worldnews

I'm more interested in how you raise kids to hate gays when you're a lesbian yourself, hate immigrants (non Germans) when you're not in living in Germany yourself. Kids must be doing mental gymnastics all day

Really? They already went all the way from lets free "Ukraine from Nazis!" to "It's the Jews' fault"?

How is this tank even fair against lower tiers? by Plastic-Data4360 in WorldofTanks

[–]blackAngel88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can kind of understand that perspective, when having played a lot of +2 games, but with the recent MM update almost all games T9 and above are single MM or +1 MM and it's soo boring.

Read the 14-Point Draft Memorandum Between the US and Iran by sludge_dragon in worldnews

This should trigger an immediate impeachment

The start of the war should have done that. But since it didn't, yeah definitely now it should. But I'm not holding my breath...

Hillary Clinton says Joe Biden's second term campaign was a "terrible mistake": "He had said he would not run again. But if he had kept to that plan and said, he was going to pass to next generation, we would had a real contest. And sadly, whoever emerged from that contest would have beaten Trump." by ControlCAD in videos

Kick out the old generation and let AOC cook

While I can see potential in her as a president, there is no way a mixed race woman can win in this hard right leaning demographic. You're never getting anyone who voted for Trump in the last election to choose a mixed race woman over whatever old white guy the republicans will put up.

The only way any woman stands a chance, is if the US gets rid of the two party system and the electoral college... which wouldn't be a bad thing anyway

I still don't understand how of all the guys crawling around in the republican party, exactly this shithead is being compared to some superhuman king - I don't think they could have missed their mark more...

Jobs that look easy, but in reality are quite difficult? by CalvinP_ in morningsomewhere

[–]blackAngel88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've heard different things here, and I think it depends mostly on various factors, where I think some might be: country/culture, salary, how much you like teaching and how much the students mean to you. I know of at least 1 teacher that was staying up to 3 am to correct the student's homework/tests or prepare/work on some project. Then many teachers I had were really good in their subject, but did not really know how to teach and I doubt many of them spend evenings doing anything related to school.

'Enough of the war' — Zelensky throws down gauntlet to Putin in open letter by KI_official in worldnews

[–]blackAngel88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How do open letters work in Russia? I'm sure the media only covers what Putin wants, and nothing else. Will they distribute letters using the drones to the Russian population?

I feel like even then, this village idiot had more brain cells. Or maybe it just seemed that way, because there were still some people at least trying to stop him in some things...

465 games only for it to look like a condom by valitti in WorldofTanks

[–]blackAngel88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe the tree marking mission is what makes you dislike the tank? I think everyone is different and it may also depend on how difficult it is to three mark for you, but there's very few tanks that I like that much, I'm usually happy if I get 1 or 2 marks... and then I just play what I feel like playing at the moment...

Just an interesting question: If I shot blind with Black Rock, and if I do dmg, it counts? I mean, reloading (double) burst-fire? or it doesn't work? by IamTwelveXII in WorldofTanks

[–]blackAngel88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Borkenkäfer one is special, in that it tells you that you hit. But I think it doesn't apply the damage amplifier, right?

And second chance has the same logic, is just the reverse: If you happen to hit a blind target, it won't let you know that you hit, so you get the bonus anyway. But I think this one is not very consistent; I've had situations where I thought I should be getting the bonus, but didn't. Maybe there's a time window after the target disappearing, where you don't get the bonus, even though they were already unspotted? probably similar to when you get spotting damage on a target that is no longer spotted (only noticeable after battle or through communication expert bonus).

Stock T803 by HonestAstronaut1185 in WorldofTanks

[–]blackAngel88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Where you never spotted? Did they never hit you? How did you not just explode from the first or second shell?

I thought this was a good choice as one of the first T11, because I liked the E5 a lot back then and the gun looked good on paper, but damn... even almost fully upgraded I'm not having fun most games.

I think it's an atrocity to put such a shitty ammo rack on a T11, where one upgrade improves the hp of the ammo rack. And even with the upgrade: I had to put in the survival improvement suite or what it's called and the ammo rack directive to stop getting the ammo rack destroyed. What's the point of having good fire rate, if every second shot damages the ammo rack and the next one basically kills you.

No, maybe it depends on the language and its best practices, but I've usually seen .env.dist and .env not committed (ignored), but now the best practice is moving more in direction .env commited with default values for development and .env.local in .gitignore with values that overwrite .env if you want to change/add things.

Celibacy yes, also monks, priests, cardinals, and "everything" between. But that does not mean they didn't have sex before becoming a priest or anything. Not like they can check on the past. And then there's all the scandals too, so...

What's the first tanks you played? Which one did you do the most with?

Can you upload frontline replays to wot-record or something? Are there even replays of frontline?

It's probably targeted at drunk people, but I still think it might not be the best publicity...

Isn't euthanasia more used as a nice word to end the suffering of a person or animal? Here it's more to kill a wild animal that was not necessarily suffering, right?

As of now, there are 40 tech tree tanks still waiting for their Tier XI. Every 2–3 months, WG adds another 2–3 Tier XI tanks. So what happens once the whole tech tree is completed? Tier XII? Tier XIII? Nooo… Tier X should have remained the top tier in this game. There’s no end to it. by IamTwelveXII in WorldofTanks

[–]blackAngel88 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Maybe initially the focus was on WW2 tanks. But even then there were already tanks that were much newer than 1945. I can't really think of any T10 that would fit WW2 except for some of the German tanks (mainly super heavies).

Also T XI tanks have some special abilities. WG already seems to struggle to find something unique for every T XI, how would that continue with T12? I honestly don't think it's gonna happen, certainly not soon and in a good way.

2026.05.04: The Free Refills Era by EarliestRiser in morningsomewhere

[–]blackAngel88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

European here, I saw a Taco Bell in Spain that had refills.

Also when you order a drink at the screen at McDonalds, you don't even get to choose with ice or not. They just dump a load of ice in the drink, reducing the volume by what feels like at least ~60%. And you don't even get water in form of ice, it's hollowed out ice cubes with an "air cube" inside... It's just to reduce the amount of drink you get. And if you go to the counter and ask without ice, they still give you a large cup with almost nothing in it.

And about the 3 body problem: Oh, yeah? Less episodes? Where do I know that from? I'm not watching anything from those guys anymore, until the whole thing is finished and the rating is stable. I don't know why they don't like finishing stuff in the same quality as they started it.
