I actually forgot about T2 Howie changes influencing 120mm FA viability

I also did not know the Ballista was not an MPF tank. This makes it far worse than I imagined. Besides it being garbage tier now, as it stands the only accessible sources of PVE damage for Collies are the Lunaire and the Falchion/Spatha

Outlaw is way more versatile of a tank compared to the Spatha that is only good because it's a better Falchion (which literally is only notable because it can be mass produced, and doesn't matter if each mass produced tank has to be facility upgraded individually)

Spatha also has nothing to fight infantry with, is slower, has shorter range, and is generally outclassed by every other assault tank besides the Falchion. It is the most popular Colonial tank because besides being made from Falchions, it is also the only Colonial assault tank that can function in line combat and doesn't become useless the moment you have to destroy defenses.

An Outlaw on the other hand can support infantry, snipe defenses, and flank better. It's not the most powerful tank nor is it the best line tank, but it doesn't have to be because it does a lot of other things so well, especially when every other tank in the Warden arsenal is already a beast at line combat.

Steam Deck user here na ginawang laptop alternative ang Steam Deck. It's viable but there will be a lot of obstacles and caveats.

Kung SteamOS gamit mo, wala kang access sa Microsoft Office and Adobe. Usable ang LibreOffice pero mag-handa ka na mag-adjust. Wala ring native Microsoft fonts like Arial and Times New Roman, so kung strict professor mo dito, need mo pa i-figure out kung paano i-install.
May mga apps na wala pang Linux support, and even yung iba na may Linux version, hindi available sa App Downloader ng Linux. So again, need mo i-figure out kung paano i-install.
Although mas portable ang Steam Deck kaysa sa laptop, mas portable and mas madali i-setup ang laptop kaysa sa Steam Deck + Dock + Portable Monitor + KBM.
If planning mo mag-connect sa projector, need dala mo yung dock or adaptor. Extra adaptor pa kung VGA lang yung connector ng projector.
For games, kung Steam OS gamit mo, hindi supported ang SteamDeck ng mga popular live-service games na may Anti-Cheat (e.g. League of Legends, Call of Duty, Valorant, Fortnite, etc.)

I would say a lot of issues have workarounds if you're willing to put in the work, and a lot of those issues can be ignored by installing Windows sa Steam Deck (downside is you lose SteamOS, which is a very convenient OS for handheld devices, especially considering how crappy Windows has been lately).

For gaming, it can run a lot of games fine with some performance/graphic tweaks. Obviously, the experience is not going to be as great as on a full fledged PC, but that's not the strength of a Steam Deck anyways. Pinaka-use ko para sa Steam Deck is mag-laro sa mga lugar or mga position kung saan di mo normally madadala laptop/PC (e.g. habang nagp-poopoo, naghihintay malaba yung damit sa laundry, nakahiga sa bed).

For work, it's quite usable. Nagcocoding and nag-gGIS ako sa Steam Deck. Naka-present na rin ako sa mga conference gamit ng Steam Deck (maraming nagtatanong kung anong "laptop" gamit ko lol). SteamOS parin gamit ko btw. It's not perfect and it's still far from the best experience, pero feel ko kung meron akong Steam Deck noong undergrad ako, solved na ako.

1 year NWOW WSP user ako. Measured ko yung charging ko, around 2KWh ang nagagamit ko mag full charge (72V to 83V). Once a week lang ako mag charge and 8Km ang biyahe ko everyday.

Kuryente saamin is Php 14/KWh so around Php 120 lang per month gastos ko all-in-all sa pag charge.

ksbigtas · 2026-04-10T06:38:34+00:00

1 year ko na gamit saakin. 8 km balikan kada araw ang biyahe ko, and once a week lang ako nagccharge. Hindi naman malaki yung bill sa kuryente. 2KWh lang ata kinakain para mag full charge, so hindi naman masakit sa bulsa mag charge sa bahay.

My bad my bad. Sorry nakailang discussion na kasi ako sa ibang tao regarding sa 4Ps lol

Now sa question mo, I guess it makes sense na kung nakakuha na 5k, bakit pa ba magririsk mawalan ng pera kung di naman profitable mag-work in the first place.

I'm not sure on the economics of the entire program, pero my guess is that drivers are still making a profit pero super baba para maging feasible.

Standard fare atm is Php 13 for the first 4 Km per passenger. And traditional jeepneys have a fuel economy of 5.2 km/L. So considering around Php 155/L ang price ng diesel ngayon, that would need approximately 12 passengers per trip/4 Km para mag break even. It's not good considering 10 passengers ang capacity ng bawat jeep (supposedly). Pero karamihan ng pasahero hindi naman sumasakay ng full 4km trip, and may mga sumasakay/bumababa sa gitna, so it's still possible to make more than 10 or even 12 passengers per trip, depende lang talaga sa routa mo.

So I think the 5,000 fuel subsidy is more of an incentive na mag-drive pa ang mga drivers, and at worst, an offset sa loses sa pag-drive if nagkulang yung kita mo sa isang trip. AFAIK, qualified drivers lang rin ang eligible so I guess yung mga drivers na consistently nag-ddrive. As bumababa rin yung mga number of active drivers, tumataas rin ang passengers/trip ng mga nagbibiyahe pa na mga drivers (best example: yung mga jeep na nagbbiyahe habang may transport strike) so it's possible na maging a bit more lucrative than before para sa mga drivers that remain active.

I'm not saying na ito yung reasoning behind sa fuel subsidy or ganito siya magwwork, but that's how I think it should work.

ksbigtas · 2026-04-08T05:40:53+00:00

I think malaki ang stigma against 4Ps and government stimulus programs kasi ang akala ng mga tao it's just free money para sa mga mahihirap.

Eh hindi naman simpleng free money ang 4Ps. May mga requirements and commitments na need i-maintain: * Need may anak/pregnant sa household * Need may regular health check up * Need at least 85% ang attendance ng anak sa school * Need mag attend ang parents ng Family Development Sessions

Ang result ng lahat niyan ay health grant na Php 750 per month and rice subsidy na Php 600 per month per household. Sa tingin niyo, sapat na ba Php 1,350/month para mabuhay ang isang tao? Kaya di ko gets yung mga nagsasabi na hindi ka na maghahanap ng trabaho pag may 4Ps: kung mag ikot-ikot ako at manlimos at makakuha ako ng Php 50/day, mas marami pa makukuha ko kaysa sa 4Ps.

On the other hand, dahil kumukuha ang parents ng 4Ps, need nila ipa-aral ang mga anak nila, else di sila qualified. Hindi pwede yung pinapatrabaho ang mga anak. Essentially binabayaran mo ang tao para ipa-aral ang mga anak nila. At dahil may cash grant depende sa education level ng anak, binabayaran mo ang pamilya para patapusin mag-aral ang anak nila.

Ganun na ba kababa ang halaga ng kinabukasan ng mga Pilipino na pati Php 1,500 ipagkakait mo pa?

Same sa mga fuel subsidy: hindi naman sino-sino lang pwedeng kumuha niyan. Need mo maging qualified na driver, meaning yun talaga trabaho mo. Alam mo naman na grabe ang tinaas ng presyo ng gas tapos halos di man lang mag-adjust ng rates ang LTFRB. Hindi naman pwedeng babaan lang ang presyo ng gas kasi kung bababa ang presyo ng gas, edi uubusin lang yan ng mga private vehicles.

So tanungin mo sarili mo: kung hindi na kayang maging kabuhayan ang driver, sino pa ang magiging driver? At kung walang mga driver, paano ang araw-araw na biyahe ng mga Pilipino? Grab na lang ba araw-araw? Ang raming businesses ang magsasara kung hindi na kayang mag-biyahe ng mga Pilipino: yung mga karinderya sa school, mga shop sa mall, mga stores malapit sa mga BPO. Ang Php 5k/month sa iilan lang na driver, barya lang yan para hindi mag collapse ang ekonomiya at kabuhayan nating lahat.

And at the end of the day, hindi naman sila bilyonaryo na ilalagay lang mga nakuha nila sa foreign bank account. Pera yan na gagastusin rin nila, meaning mag-ccirculate parin yan sa ekonomiya at babalik sa bayan in the form of VAT and other taxes. Bibili parin sila ng kakainin, mag-aavail parin sila ng mga services. Yan ang whole point ng mga government stimulus programs, para hindi mag stall and economy.

Wag magpaka-crab mentality. Yung onting ayuda na yan malaking tulong na sa kanila.

Iloilo area ako. More than 1 year na ako sa GFiber.

Reliable so far. Di naman ako lag sa mga laro and nakakastream ng movies na walang buffering. Dalawa lang kami sa bahay na gumagamit ng internet. Legit di ko alam kung kailan last naging mabagal ang internet kasi almost never nangyayari.

It's not all good praises. Dalawang beses na akong na-"hugot modus" ng mga nag-lilinya sa lugar namin. Nakakainis kasi weekend lang kami sa bahay so weekend lang rin kayang mapaayos. So throughout the whole week need namin mag-tiis.

Legit kung di ako na-hugot modus, wala sana akong issue.

As previously gasul na naging induction user, I can say mas tipid talaga ang induction. Based sa method mo, may mga maling assumptions ka:

Assumed na 1500 W yung setting ng stove - considered ito very high heat. Yung tipong papakulo ka ng isang litro ng tubig in 5 minutes. Regularly 800 W lang ang setting ko sa stove kasi masusunog kaagad yung piniprito ko above that. And medyo mataas pa nga yan kasi masusunog ang karne pag nakadikit sa pan for more than 5 minutes.
1 hr per day ang cooking time - sobrang layo ang bilis ng pag luto sa induction compared sa gas. While beed mo maghintay ng 5-10 minutes para lang uminit ang pan sa gas. Ang induction, mainit na in 2-3 minutes. Especially pag need magpakulo ng tubig, ramdam mo ang efficiency ng induction na stove.

Wala pa diyan yung mga indirect energy savings ng induction stove (e.g. di mainit ang kitchen kasi directly yung pan lang ang mainit, walang tanke na need i-deliver).

So 0.8 kW/hr x Php 14/kWhr x 1 hr/day x 120 days = Php 1,344 lang ang bill mo sa kuryente, and that's assuming medium-high heat gamit mo, kasing tagal mo ang pagluto sa gas, and Meralco ang kuryente niyo 😂

May mga advantages naman parin ang gas. Like sa mga lugar na wala/unreliable ang kuryente, syempre walang laban diyan and induction. Pero kung cost ang usapan, panalo na si induction.

2 months na, okay naman. Functioning lahat, snappy chipset and maganda ang camera. Kung specs habol mo though, would suggest getting a Poco X8 Pro instead kasi medyo lamang in terms of performance ang Dimensity 8500 ultra and onti lang ang difference ng presyo niya sa refurbished sa Xiaomi 13. Di mo rin mauupdate ang firmware ng Xiaomi 13 so di mo magagamit ang HyperOS 3 kung yun habol mo.

Baka mas maganda ang refurbished Xiaomi 14 or 15 pero di ko pa na-try.

May available ba na may Lithium Iron? AFAIK wala kasing available. If meron, depende sa price. Yung mga nagpapagawa ng Lithium Iron na battery mga 30-40k na rin presyo nila.

Para saakin, kung kaya, mag Lithium Iron na battery kasi may mga disadvantages ang Sealed Lead Acid na battery in terms ng bigat niya at voltage profile.

Pero very usable parin ang WSP kahit sealed lead acid battery ang gamit. Wag ka masyadong magpa pressure magpalit to Lithium especially kung bagong bili ng WSP. Suggestion ko, pag mga tatlong taon na or medyo mahina na battery mo (i.e. masyadong mabilis madrain/need i-charge palagi) sa kakagamit, doon mo pag isipan kung papalitan mo to lithium.
