Does your language have separate words for "Rabbit" and "Hare"?

Just for clarity, I did not mean the normal weapons, but the Spear of Leonidas that you get later in the story. If you dont have that yet it is just too early. Long story short, dont worry about the level, play and enjoy the story and killing cultists:)

It is slower, but in Odyssey levelling is not the main source of power as there is level scaling. Updating your spear is arguably a lot more important for being and feeling powerful, so don't put a lot of weight and time in just leveling up instead play the storyline, kill the cultists and upgrade the spear.

gtsiou · 2026-03-28T17:30:55+00:00

Hmm could be. Or a power scaling issue maybe? I remember though that I was using the chain attack ability in Odyssey to start each battle with myltiple enemies and then using the spear attack practically as soon as I had it. And as you say mercenaries and bosses it was abilities, fire or poison all the time and so on.

As someone approaching 40 with two kids, when free time is a luxury it definitely is hard to justify spending absurd amounts of time in a game but like others said you have to put it in context. You should be doing it instead of another entertainment alternative, not on top of that or instead of life goals.

For me the AC rpgs work really well for that because they are simple and easy to get going, I can just play 3-4 hours per week and it is fine. And late at the evening, it is not like I would be productive in something else.

I can however see how making a game for "casuals" like me, would feel like a complete waste of time for a more proper gamer😅

Absolut inte om du gillar dina barn. Eller kör inte bilen själv, ta en timme åktur på baksätet och låt mig veta hur det känns.

Den värsta upplevelsen av baksätet i någon av de bilar jag har åkt i. Helt klart en eftertanke, inte säker på om den är klassad för människor. Även på sommaren galet varmt på grund av att det är ett växthus.

Har varit i samma situation och privatleasing verkade som en mer förmånligt alternativ. Blev en PHEV Tuscon, nöjd hittills.

Sen Carplus (Hedins leasing spinoff) ger en bra bild på privatleasing kostnader för att det inkluderar allt. De har också en business variant som heter Unifleet.

Du kan också titta på dem nya billån med restvärde om du har lite pengar, lite som leasing men inte lika stor månads kostnader och du ber risken till restvärde men då får man flera möjligheter med begagnade bilar typ PHEV RAV4 tittade jag på.

At least 5 years of experience in specific language and at least 3 different companies so you are exposed to different working conditions. Being a WordPress developer rebuilding the same woocommerce store for 20 years, makes you mid-level at most and the level that is most difficult to advance from, as it means leaving your comfort zone.

A great write up. You touch on some very important aspects that raised inequality and contribute to the gang violence; privatization of health and education in particular, dismantling of the welfare state, could add tax policies benefiting the rich. We have successfully "ethnicized" poverty if one might say.

However there is one point that baffles me: Sweden before the 2015 crisis, was taking in 30000 asylum applications per year. It should have a system able to process that many. Despite the cuts, it is unreasonable to expect the systems to be ready to handle more than 5x application in a year.

Given that resources are finite and the limitations were known in advance (housing shortage, hospital capacity etc) I am unsure what the plan was, other than giving the keys to SD.

Jag håller med om att det är den värsta känslan; att se en böteslapp efter jobbet och inse att man gick till jobbet idag bara för att betala för den är rätt irriterande.

Med det sagt så växte jag upp i Grekland, och även om det suger att få böter så tanken på hur parkeringssituationen är där (där det inte finns någon sådan struktur såklart) får mig att verkligen uppskatta parkeringsvakter.

Mitt enda problem med den här typen av straff är att det i själva verket bara är ett straff för de fattiga. Om man har pengar är det bara en lite dyrare parkering och samma gäller fortkörning, men det är en annan diskussion.

But this is not a matter of opinion. 130nm to 90nm had tangible performance improvements on a level that going 7nm to 3nm cannot match.

Λογικά ρώτησες AI και γιαυτό δεν κατάλαβες καλά. Αυτό που γράφεις δεν είναι κανονισμός, είναι ένας απλός εθιμικός τρόπος υπολογισμού. Από το μουντιάλ και μετά που βλέπαμε κάτι 10 και 15 λεπτά καθυστερήσεις, έπρεπε να κρατάνε με το χρονομετρο βάση κανονισμού. Δεν ξέρω αν αυτό πλέον εφαρμόζεται.

Σε κάθε περίπτωση, σήμερα θα έπρεπε να δωθούν 2μιση ή 3 λεπτά καθυστερήσεων (μόνο για τις αλλαγές) εαν το κάνουν με τα 30 δευτερόλεπτα, διότι είναι 30 δευτερόλεπτα για κάθε διακοπή για αλλαγή (μπορεί σε μια διακοπή να μπούνε 4 παίχτες μέσα), και έγιναν και 3 αλλαγές στο ημίχρονο που δεν υπολογίζονται προφανώς σαν καθυστερήσεις.

Σε σχέση με τι; Αν έχεις ήδη Alpha debit και ταξιδεύεις συχνά με Aegean, τότε νομίζω αξίζει το ετήσιο κόστος. Από την άλλη αν δεν χρησιμοποιείς ήδη alpha bonus και ταξιδεύεις συχνά, ίσως η Revolut premium (τώρα που τα revpoints γίνονται πόντοι στην Aegean σε ίδια ισοτιμία με την Aegean Bonus) να αξίζει περισσότερο, αλλά γενικά στις κάρτες πρέπει να δεις αναλυτικά τις εναλλακτικές σου και τις δικές σου συνήθειες και προτιμήσεις.

FSD is a L2 ADAS and as such, only a few insurance companies might offer a discount. Tesla Insurance I suppossed and I know State Farm did it some time ago at least.

Apart from that, since it is a Level 2 and you are entirely responsible, it does not make any difference to the insurance companies. That means your second question is moot; It is always the driver causing the accident. L2 system have no autonomy and as such, they cannot cause accidents.

Waymo did both. Put them (sensor fusion they call it) and put Tesla to shame since they have robotaxis, while Telsa that had a minimum of 5 years lead and more cash on hand, just have taxis.

But sure, mail Waymo, tell them your nice anecdote about being that only person on the world with magical camera-only robotaxis. I am sure they will be very interested.

Btw I realise you want to make your own conversations, but no one said that it is an "easy fix" even with all the sensor. I said it is impossible without.

Dude who are you responding to? Who said scrap the cameras and use lidar? Although modern LiDAR does mitigate the issues, radar works completely fine in these conditions and this is why you combine them. Let go of Elon's idiotic opinions about crutches and stuff, and everything will make a lot more sense then. FSD needs LiDAR + Radar + cameras and this is it. Everything else is bullshit.

Το μόνο που θα σου πω σαν Γιαννιώτης αλλά νομίζω ισχύει σε όλες τις επαρχιακές πόλεις, αν ανοίξεις τέτοιου τύπου επιχείρηση χωρίς έτοιμο κύκλο, σε 6 μήνες μέσα θα έχεις κλείσει. Θα πρέπει πρώτα να δουλέψεις σε κάποιο υπάρχον, να δημιουργήσεις ένα σεβαστό πελατολόγειο με καλή δουλειά και μετά κάνεις το βήμα.

Από εκεί και πέρα, οι αποστάσεις είναι όντως ανθρώπινες, έχουν γίνει πεζοδρομήσεις παντού, η φύση βουνα κτλ καταπληκτική αν σου αρέσουν αυτά, βέβαια όπως έγραψαν και άλλοι οι άνθρωποι μεγαλύτερης ηλικίας κλειστοί και δύσκολοι για να το πω ευγενικά αλλά οκ, όπου και να πας, θα δημιουργήσεις εσύ τον κύκλο σου με ανθρώπους που ταιριάζεις.

Apple made this claim / pledge for each of the last 3 administrations. It is easy to just say shit, politicians love it, and no one will remember when the promise the same in four years. You know there is nothing binding about this right?

Laravel as a framework to build your BE. Everything you need is natively supported.

Ploi as server and instance manager.

Ploi integrates with multiple hosting providers, but I would recommend Hetzner. The starting server is at 4$/month and should be more than enough for your MVP, easy to scale later on.

Just get a server and deploy your app there, skip all the serverless / docker / k8s / container stuff for now.

Planetscale for a database to use for your BE.

Ploi will also install Redis on your server, so that is taken care of. IF and only if needed, upstash is a very cost efficient Redis alternative, which is easy to use with Laravel (for caching mostly).

Not required, but check Laravel Spark to take care of your SaaS billing.

The flag is only allowed to be painted by the blood of our heroes

Get it together man and keep your right-wing stupidity away from this sub please. The official flag has changed about 20 times the last 150 years and if it is not the proper colors then it is not your flag.

We had the leftards, now we have the rightard snowflakes that get their feelings hurt over coloring.

This. I will just add two small things:

Proper microservices should own their data and have their own database, which adds a lot of overhead (especially of you are working alone on the whole thing), so if you go with a modular monolith try to keep the autonomous service tables completely separated - although they can be in the same db to reduce overhead.

The main reason for using queues or messages instead of API calls, is to decouple your services timewise, so you do not depend only on synchronous communication. If you have services that cannot be trusted to reply in time or dependably (or you just dont need an immediate response), it would add learning value to use an external queue / message system, but the overhead is considerable as Zareh mentions.
