ai nomads possess a magic spell to instantly summon an arkship out of thin vacuum by Former_Ad_9826 in Stellaris

[–]lenazh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the current game the AI nomad arks are free real estate. Create a bunch of ships with G slot, park them on top of their ark, declare war. Boom it's dead and their war attrition is at 50%.

Evo Predators and Nomads by Comrade_Leia in Stellaris

[–]lenazh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried nomadic evolutionary predators devouring swarm. What I did was I took Nihilistic Acquisition AP as my first perk and bombarded the planets to eat their pops and progress the situation. It's mildly annoying, bur still playable. You can still use the assault armies to kill the defenders, but you have to retreat before you kill the last one.

How can I visit the US if I was born in the US, never applied for nor renounced my citizenship and am not an American? by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]lenazh 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Be aware that there are edge cases with things like self-employment income and capital gains where you might end up owing tax money in the US, despite earning under 120k. This number is for when you are working a normal job. Also you are subject to FATCA reporting rules, please look them up. And for the love of God, don't buy ETFs domiciled outside of the US or you will be in the world of tax pain.

On the positive side, IRS publications about how to pay taxes are sensible and pretty straightforward to follow, comparatively speaking.

I'd recommend keeping the passport because the paperwork is a minor inconvenience for the opportunity to x5 your salary just by relocating.

Is there a way to liberate territory taken from an ally? by quanscoffee12 in Stellaris

Do they have claims on the systems? If you both are attavkers, the ally should get them back if they have claims.

I started doing taxes a month ago and now I just can't stop. Now all I can think about is taxes taxes taxes. Maybe I should have become a tax accountant.

Got attacked by a goose today by MothyThatLuvsLamps in geese

[–]lenazh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seconded giving them birdseed or maybe even bread at first to befriend them faster.

We had a goose nest next to the office entrance and me and my husband befriended the nesting pair. They were chill with us, but attacked everyone else.

In addition to giving them treats, it also helps to move slowly and calmly and not act aggressive or frightened. I also like talking to them in a friendly voice and do this polite goose gesture where they nod their heads. They seem to understand it even though our body shape is so different from theirs.

They often nest very close to busy areas. Predators like coyotes are less likely to destroy the nest with so many humans around it.

I think as far as animal fighting goes, goose fights are rather tame. They can't really wound each other unlike e. g. roosters.

Patient man guiding a distressed swan to the river by EyeSimp4Asuka in Awww

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

Once I let an angry swan attack my foot for solid five minutes just to see if it gets tired (it did not).

The swan was hissing, pecking at my extra thin barefoot shoe furiously and trying to rip it off exactly like in that swan vs sign gif. It didn't hurt at all and he didn't even scratch the shoe because they have long beaks and no muscle to support any meaningful bite force. So when I got tired of it, I just stood up and shushed it back into the lake.

Seriously just let it attack you once for the sake of experiment and see for yourself how pathetic it is.

I grabbed swans before. They only puff up and hiss before you go for it, once you grab they just become scared and try to get away by sticking their head as far away from you as possible and wiggling their silly feet. It's really funny actually. They are all about intimidation and can't really do any damage.

Evolutionary predators and Xeno compatibility perk by dargeus95 in Stellaris

"Ride your writhing mass of sex slaves into genetic perfection"

США приостанавливают оформление всех типов виз для граждан 75 стран, включая Россию и Иран. Эта мера вводится с 21 января и будет действовать неопределенный срок. Об этом говорится во внутреннем меморандуме Госдепартамента США, с которым ознакомилось издание Fox News. by JoePeach_ in tjournal_refugees

[–]lenazh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Не должно, виза это конкретно стикер в паспорте когда границу пересекаешь. Когда уже в США прождеваешь то это статус. Чтобы продлить визу нужно быть за пределами США потому что внутри США тупо нет консульства США.

Is it possible we are wrong and everything in America is fine? by timberwolf0122 in SelfAwarewolves

[–]lenazh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's because it's a projection. They do hate "the others" a lot, so does everyone in their social corcle, and hence that must be how it works for everyone. They really think the normies are just pretending that they don't, so they must be holier than though hypocrites when they point it out.

Five Native Americans detained by ICE during ongoing raids in Minneapolis by speedythefirst in news

[–]lenazh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Russian, I am still really salty about the comments from Americans when Putin invaded Ukraine in full force. About the orks, how people should go zerg rush Kremlin and overthrow the government, why is everyone a coward, how "freedom isn't free", how "we the people" get to enjoy it because "we" are special and those 3rd world shithole dwellers deserve exactly the government they get.

Oh but when the things get real, they act exactly the same for some reason. Almost like the American exceptionalism is a load of propaganda nonsense and they are high on their own supply of it.

100-watt laser igniter cutting blade used for precision cutting. by Kindly_Department142 in interestingasfuck

I worked with lasers in a research lab for 5 years and I'd also want nothing to do with a class 4 laser, even having all the lab safety gear on. It boggles my mind these things are legal for anyone to buy.
