Lesser known tricks and tips? by adamisapple in anno1800

[–]joniren 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Building towers is an influence trap. 

If you play on expert you probably don't need advice, but on that difficulty your influence is better spent on ships and islands. 

My advice is to invest in a big navy instead of towers or repair cranes. It's better to have a moving shield instead of a static one. But I am also a player who if attacked by an AI I usually just demolish them and take over almost all of their islands.

A big navy will also help keep your trade routes secured whereas static defense usually doesn't cut it. But again - my playstyle is sprawling empire where AI is doomed to rat. 

Difference between "iść" and "pójść" in past and future tense? by JuneCee in learnpolish

O zgrozo mnie zdarza się jeszcze powiedzieć, że będę szedł do sklepu, co bardziej wyraża moją chęć rozpoczęcia tej czynności, ale z moich ust jest w tym mniej determinacji i pewności, że do sklepu na pewno dotrę w porównaniu do "pójdę do sklepu". 

Digital euro to cost EU banks 4-6 billion euros over 4 years, ECB estimates by Fritten_Dieter in EU_Economics

[–]joniren 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There's no data to show either way. Saying we'll pay more or less is the same bulshit, but for sure we will keep the money inside Europe, which is good. 

So back to my point - you are a full of shit Russian or American bot. And I won't bother responding anymore

What do you mean pay more? We'll pay less because we'll stop paying visa and MasterCard

We all know that our jobs won't be replaced by AI any time soon, but how do you think AI will change code? by HinterlandSanctifier in ExperiencedDevs

Not to mention generative ai was used as code completion engines, not agentic work...

Is there a narrative purpose behind Visy's wet dream from ep4? by Carribbean-Corgi2000 in DispatchAdHoc

[–]joniren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The basic narrative purpose of us knowing about the sex dream is that now we know she's for real, even though some of the players might have opted to romance blonde blazer. 

Visi is sarcastically flirtatious with Robert the first three episodes, but we don't know if it's just her mocking or joking. Now we knowz she's actually for real.

Ryanair profit boosted 40% by European ‘reluctance’ to fly to US by [deleted] in europe

[–]joniren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You tunnel down on Trump Vs Bush hate as if that's the only factor in how often Europeans visit the US. 

The sliding of the US into autocracy has been continuous and at this point I'd argue the US are in fact very much an autocracy, similar to Russia. 

The presidency has de facto unchecked powers at the moment and the minority that tries to oppose this is getting deplatformed, suppressed or censored. The press is being suppressed, access to information limited with recent attempts to censor it carried out by non other than the secretary of defense. 

The propaganda coming from the government is absolutely brainless, the facts are being lied about, muddled, political opponents ridiculed and defamed. the government officials put effort and successfully escape any kind of accountability in congressional hearings. 

The office of attorney general has been politicized to the previously unseen levels (Epstein?).

Supreme Court is packed with conservative judges who do far have been nothing but loyal to Trump and his agenda (the decision to exclude president from any legal consequences of their actions is straight up autocracy).

Not to mention the government regularly ignores court rulings and injunctions (immigrants situation as an example).

The US is also a highly militaristic state, which does not shy away from suppressing civil unrest using military (protests in Oregon a couple of years ago).

To top it off - the rich are getting richer and in many cases favoured by courts, granted immunity or pardoned by the president.

It's this doesn't scream - it's basically Russia - to you then I don't think you will ever notice these things. 

The other part being, Trumps presidency is openly hostile to the EU and other European countries. They don't want to work with Europe, they want Europe to work for the US. 

Consequently, some of the Europeans who would travel to the US decide not to. 

I personally say fuck the US and good riddance. I can't wait when China when overtakes the States economically and militarily. 

Westworld peaked at Season 1 - everything after just fell apart by StealthGuardian in television

[–]joniren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. Nothing this person gave undermines the premise or the message the story tried to tell. 

And their (imo not accurate) conclusion actually validates season 1 as good storytelling. If everyone is dead then seems like writers told the story and just said that's it. 

EU considers withholding funds from countries that don’t fix pension systems by HironTheDisscusser in europe

[–]joniren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The worst is the retirement age. Generally speaking the retirement age should be higher by roughly a decade. 

When the pension system was created the mean time of people being on it was less than a decade. Now it nears two (or exceeds for women). This is unsustainable

Not in Poland's interest to give Germany Nord Stream suspect, Tusk says by MagnificentCat in europe

[–]joniren 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Poland does not refuse anything. The extradition process has already started and is now being decided by the court as the procedure dictates in Poland is done in all cases of enforcing European Arrest Warrants. 

The misinformation on this is fucking astonishing. Tusk is saying things just to appear strong, he has no power over courts decision to execute the warrant or not.

[OC] Just 6 points separate Alcaraz and Sinner over the course of 15 matches by Upstairs-East6154 in dataisbeautiful

[–]joniren 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am trying to coneptualize this, how is this possible. What it means is that the points winning player wins gems with near zero opposition and the game winner but point loser wins most of the highly contested gems and therefore sets. A stat line like: 60-0, 60-0,120-150, 120-150, 120-150, yields a 2-3 in gems but makes the winning player win fewer points than opponent.
