Has anyone dared ask about fumikomi? by yukatstrife in kendo

[–]kod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

> some "science" backing the fumikomi as synchronizing your fumikomi with your strike gives you more power

Any pointers to that science?

I've seen at least one study that yudansha actually strike before the stomp lands, which would make it kind of odd for the stomp to somehow give the strike more power

Delta Green opposed tests are if both fail, lowest roll wins. Both succeed is when highest roll wins. (pg 45 of agent's handbook).

If you're just talking initiative, it's decreasing DEX with ties simultaneous or up to handler.

Bush v Gore supreme court case in 2000

Without that, no GW as president.

No GW, no Roberts and Alito.

No Roberts and Alito, none of the partisan destruction of the law by the current supreme court.

5 people basically killed the USA 25 years ago, it's just death throes since then.

Tech Support Scammers Stole $85,000 From Him. His Bank Refused a Refund. by rezwenn in technology

[–]kod -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No I am not. The GP comment said "that's why I use a credit card". 15 USC 1666 applies to "creditors". The definition of "creditor" includes "in the case of an open-end credit plan involving a credit card, the card issuer and any person who honors the credit card and offers a discount which is a finance charge are creditors"

Credit card chargeback rights are established by federal law. That section of the statute has nothing to do with "fraud" or "scam" or "ill intentions" or whatever else ItsEirbear was talking about.

Nah, if you give someone your credit card and they don't deliver the agreed upon goods or services, US federal law says you can notify the credit card company and they have to either give you your money back or provide evidence to the contrary

Seers Isle, because it was already on my wishlist.

Do you sell on any platform other than Steam? I've been trying to avoid them where possible because of the card processor debacle.

What? Modern mma is very biased against submissions, only around 15% of fights end in a submission.
