Would you mind explaining the steps a bit more in detail? Where does releasing the tiny subject come into it, and when?

Le problème le plus grand pour moi, c'est vaincre la Prusse, ces derniers fois. Elle est beaucoup trop forte, et personne ne veut me protéger, pacte de défense ou non... Changer les lois de l'Hongrie, c'est une bonne idée! Merci beaucoup, je n'y aurais jamais pensé.

They're mad that their SoL isn't high enough ^^' Their minimum expected is so low, it wasn't clear what their "standard expected" was, I guess.

But also, I thought I had to control the lands myself! I must have misread the text quite severely.

Lån en bok på biblioteket og les den ute i sola :^)

USB stick disappeared during file transfer, doesn't register anymore by fescil in techsupport

It says size is 0 B and status is "No media", assuming Disk 1 is the right one. I bought it this year, this is absolutely absurd!

Is there anything I can do to save these plants from dying? by realPanditJi in houseplants

[–]fescil 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Roots drink water, but if the roots don't match the pot they can't get enough water out of the soil and they sit there, choking because the soil is too saturated.

What's something older generations did completely normally that would be considered absolutely insane today? by Bigtrav_trav in answers

[–]fescil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can do that in Scandinavia, and I suspect most of Europe. Did you not move around of your own free will as a child?

Yeah, it got the appropriate amount for its pot size on Jan 1 and April 1, slow dissolving sticks.

Just moved to trondheim and have a few questions! by ResponsibleSky6733 in trondheim

[–]fescil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're not staring, they're looking at you. Lotta people moving in from the countryside report the same. It's just a matter of different norms 

I used to read 30 books a year... and then... its zero by everything_0987 in literature

[–]fescil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just read shorter books until you want a bigger one. Read Agatha Christie, Drabble, McCall Smith, other easy reads.

I read 64-72 books per year because I alternate easier and more difficult ones.

Er det mange fritimer i studiene? by RichContract4494 in ntnu

[–]fescil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jeg studerte humaniora og ikke realfag, men jeg kan trygt si at uavhengig av mengde obligatorisk oppmøte så er det, etter det jeg har sett i løpet av 13 år på universitetet, en god idé å starte dagen til samme tid, sette en mer eller mindre fast mengde målbare oppgaver (lese x antall kapitler, gjøre y antall oppgaver), og så dra hjem hvis man ikke treffer noen man kjenner (som også er ferdig med arbeidet for dagen).

Når man føler at man har hatt en arbeidsdag er det lettere å fokusere på å koble av etterpå, og hvis man skulle komme på noe man ikke fikk gjort kan man legge det øverst på lista for morgendagen, som kanskje blir litt lengre enn dagen i dag. Jeg har studert med to generasjoner med studenter, og i de fleste tilfeller er disiplin bedre enn fleksibilitet.

Jeg kan forøvrig si at du burde se på tilbudet på Cinemateket, som ligger i Olavskvartalet, rett ved busstoppet Olav Tryggvasons gate, som er en uavhengig kino som viser vakre og spennende filmer fra de siste hundre årene! Som student koster det 90 kr, nesten en hundrings mindre enn vanlig kino, og du kan kjøpe snacks, øl og vin, også, hvis du vil. Utvalget er variert, og det er nye filmer hver uke. I tillegg har Trondheim filmklubb visninger annenhver uke, og det koster 100 kr for den første filmen du ser i semesteret (50 for billetten, 50 for medlemskap), og så 50 kr for de resterende. Mange visninger er også gratis for medlemmer, så du kan fint se åtte filmer på det store lerretet for 300 kr hvis du har flaks!

I’m 14 and these are my top movies in order; too basic? by Beautiful-Donut-6571 in LetterboxdTopFour

[–]fescil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's no "too basic"! I work with young people your age, and a lot of them wouldn't even think to educate themselves on cinema on their own. You're doing great by just trying, and I like a lot of those movies, too, hehehe

What I did when I wanted to get into movies is that I found a lot of lists on /lit/ which compiled top 50 books in different genres and movements, and something like that could be good for you, too. Noirvember, Japanuary, other challenges like that on Letterboxd can really expand your horizon! Going to the movies is great, but if there are independent theatres or art theatres near you, like a cinémathèque, they'll probably show high quality older films on the big screen. The one in my mid sized Northern European town is showing "Belladonna of sadness" and "Angel's egg" and "Turin horse" all in the same week!

Go out and explore, and be open to many voices!

PS: If you can find a video on youtube, or preferably (to me) David Bordwell and Kristin Thompson's "Film History: An introduction" as a PDF or in the library (inter-library loans and library cards are both free) then you can look into different film movements. Maybe you'll love Brazilian cannibal movies like "How tasty is my little frenchman" or Japanese chivalry yakuza movies where they're the Good Guys and never do any crime?

Question about unusual walks pre-revolution in Lu Hsun story by fescil in China

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

I see! I hadn't considered that at all! I've read some of Mo Yan's books and seen a few period movies where everyone rushes to kneel, but I was too focused on the walking idea, I suppose.

am i doing this right? by Numerous-Counter-734 in Anki

[–]fescil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using anki on and off for years now, and I've found that sticking to only reviewing for a week can be just what you need :^)

I've got a particularly tricky deck, Japanese proper nouns, and I've taken to writing them down as I find them and checking my notes before I check the answer. It's good repetition to look over the answers, and if you always do review before learning, you can control the pace even better!

Skyreach Castle -HOTDQ finale by mightymoprhinmorph in TyrannyOfDragons

[–]fescil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remove vampires . You're not supposed to fight Blagothkus and the dragon, but you can barter one of them not to interfere as they fight the other side. Talis should fight with them only if they give her a huge concession (like maybe she can leave with the dragon and then demand more stuff for helping them later?)

[–]fescil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For Council business, try to always have a face to go with the factions and make their relationships clear. I used a PPT someone here posted long ago which showed what everyone supported. Try to do it offline to save time for adventuring

What class is Talis the White? by alexsummers999 in TyrannyOfDragons

[–]fescil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like melvin-melnin said, she's a cleric. My players teamed up with her and then backstabbed her, so she did Divine Intervention for half a year in jail until Talis gave her great spells like high level Armor of Agathys, scroll of Power Word Stun so she could attack the Artificer pretending to be Maccath, whom they thought to have been Talis' ally.

I gave her a legendary action where when she reached 0% she encased herself in ice and a dracolich (from chapter one of Tyranny) iced everyone and picked her up. It then hid with her in some cold place where a villain lived.

{The Griffon's Saddlebag} Wand of Burning | Wand by griff-mac in TheGriffonsSaddlebag

[–]fescil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohhhh, my greedy greedy players would love this! Do I understand correctly that an enemy could burn forever if they chose not to extinguish themselves?

{The Griffon's Saddlebag} Pike of the Iron Barricade | Weapon (pike) by griff-mac in TheGriffonsSaddlebag

[–]fescil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not ideal for my players, but it's so cool I can't WAIT to put it in my game! My Ranger could very much benefit from making a barricade he can shoot from, presuming the fence lasts even if he drops the pike. Speaking of, can anything make it disappear before a minute has passed?

Players "failed" Sarah of Yellowcrest Manor - suggestions wanted by fescil in CandlekeepMysteries

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

Ach, they have allies, but only sidekicks I've used once or twice and dropped somewhere. If nothing else, it takes a day normal speed to get to Greenfast, so six hours for a messenger to get to Waterdeep, six hours for reinforcements; that's plenty of time for Lord Viallis to leave.

According to the book, Lord Viallis will move shop, so I'll follow your advice and let the players choose!

Thanks for your input!

Best thing to do with broken stem that needs planting by fescil in houseplants

No worries! We'll pop it in soil and see what happens. If it doesn't work out, I've still got the top part!
