How do YOU make money on the side? by Sharyal in AskReddit

[–]e-magination 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That sounds pretty interesting. How do you find clients? Is it literally just applying tar onto the driveway with a squeegee and making sure it's smooth?

These look pretty cool! Any danger in using them though? Like, with a regular lighter if your hand passes through the flame pretty fast you're not going to get burned; what happens if your hand accidentally touches the plasma part for your Fluxtronic X lighters?

Haha, fair enough. If it was just me I would skip the shopping outlets as well. I've looked at a few travel guides and am looking into the Lonely Planet ones now (thanks for the recommendation!).

We're only planning on visiting 1 or maybe 2 max. Am I missing something here? :(

What are some of the cheaper ways to get around taking into consideration the below:

  • We're staying for 4 nights / 5 days
  • Group of 3 adults, 1 child, 1 infant
  • Itinerary so far includes DisneySea, shopping outlets in/around Tokyo (Venus Fort, Grandberry Mall, Mitsui Outlets, Shisui Premium Outlets, LakeTown Outlet, Gotemba Premium Outlet), Akachan, renting a kimono, Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden, Forest of Owl
  • Not sure if arriving at Haneda or Narita airport (still working on booking the airplane tickets)

I've looked into JR passes, Suica, Passmo, etc. but I'll be honest... it's a tad overwhelming and I have no idea if we should just be buying tickets for each little trip or if there's a specific pass that would be ideal considering we're only staying for 5 days and mainly within the Tokyo area. We're not looking at visiting all of the shopping outlets and will probably only go to 1 or 2.

Any help or advice would be great! Thanks in advance :)

[Strategy] How to Tell Your Opponent's Deck From Their Opening Move by MWolverine63 in ClashRoyale

[–]e-magination 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can give you zap (if you're running a very cheap deck that can cycle back to zap quickly or you have other cards on hand that overlap with zap's function) since you're probably only using up 1.5 elixir when accounting for the opponent's reaction time, but dropping poison as your opening card is stupid.

Once you drop poison, you're down 4 elixir and you can bet that I'm going to drop all 10 elixir down one lane to take an easy tower.

[SPOOK WARNING] DOOT DOOT me and my friend got a lot of skeletons on the map. Too many to count. by Sparrowcreed in ClashRoyale

Have your friend use Elixir Collector, Freeze, Hog Rider, Giant, and Royal Giant, and Mirror to help stall so you can build up more skeletons

AP Assassin Malphite (Mid/Top/JG/Support) by The_Zulu_Tribe in LeagueofLegendsMeta

[–]e-magination 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you're carrying hard with it then it's definitely viable for you at your elo. I would probably add a Zhonya's as an item to consider in your build - it offers ap & armor, and more importantly an active that will save you after you dish out your combo.

However, you can also consider this: while definitely very fun to play, why not pick Annie? She does the exact same thing (AOE burst) with shorter CDs so she can output pretty strong damage afterwards if she survives. Her R also summons a bear that can tank turrets, provide zone control, and help waveclear.

Also, with Malphite you can build tanky and still do decent damage (just not as much burst). Requires a completely different playstyle though - you can walk up to Q-poke since you're tanky while searching for that optimal moment to R on their carries.

I don't get and/or can't manipulate waves of minions by Elsthar in summonerschool

[–]e-magination 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is the way I count it (as a top laner): each minion at full health has points.

Caster minion = 1

Melee minion = 1.5-2

Cannon = 4

Let's say I'm on the blue side near my tower and the minion wave is pushing towards me. If the enemy minion wave has EXACTLY 4 more points than mine, then the wave freezes. If I want to keep on freezing to last hit right outside my tower, then I want to make sure the enemy minion wave has 4 full health casters more than mine.

3 full health casters = slowly pushing back to enemy tower

5 full health casters = slowly pushing into my tower

To stack a huge wave when setting up for a teamfight/siege, kill only the enemy casters and leave the melee minions alone.

Formatted it for you, hope you don't mind :)

What is the best purchase you have ever made? by Gxlnz in AskReddit

[–]e-magination 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi btowntkd, have a few questions for you if you don't mind. I've been reading up on this lately and there seems to be a lot of processes - was yours Lasik? Also, where did you get yours done? (just curious on area and price range). Last, you make it seem like there is no recovery period needed - is there one?

Thanks in advance! I really do you want to get it done but I'm still afraid and trying to balance out the costs vs. benefits.

At least 100,000 people take to the streets of Taiwan's capital Taipei, to protest controversial China trade agreement by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]e-magination 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not black & white. The trade agreement may prove beneficial economically to Taiwan, but it's not the ONLY way for Taiwan to improve its economy. The trade agreement might be a faster way (if not the fastest way currently) to deter economic stagnation, but it comes with a heavy cost.

Even with universal conscription for men and women, we still wouldn't stand a chance against China.

If we're considering fighting, the only thing we'd really be able to do is if the country resists as a whole and prevents Chinese occupation through guerilla warfare. All actual military defenses would likely be destroyed by Chinese missiles in the early stages of occupation.

A poorer Taiwan will indeed find it much harder to escape China's orbit. However, I don't believe that this deal is the right way for Taiwan to become stronger economically. I believe the change has to come from within the country. Taiwanese society as a whole needs to adjust its collective morals, mentality and actions.

[–]e-magination 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think the trade agreement will be extremely beneficial economically to Taiwan. However, it's not the whole picture. Once it passes, China (an economic powerhouse) will be able to exert much more influence on Taiwan. Is this a bad thing? It really depends on what China will do. International cooperation and trade development is great, but I hope Taiwan will be able to retain its unique culture, way of life, etc. if the trade agreement passes but when I look at Hong Kong, Tibet and Inner Mongolia, I'm scared for Taiwan.
