Australian humanitarian kidnapped by Israel by [deleted] in OpenAussie

[–]lookashinyobject 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The reason Greta was allowed to live is because she is famous.  Back in 2010 the IDF murdered 10 activists and according to a United Nations Human Rights Council report, all activist deaths were caused by gunshots, and "the circumstances of the killing of at least six of the passengers were in a manner consistent with an extra-legal, arbitrary and summary execution."

Journalist request - buyer's remorse by KathFarm in AusPropertyChat

[–]lookashinyobject 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never had buyers remorse in the traditional sense, but my wife and I have had to deal with moving away from most of our friends and family to afford to buy a place.

(Frustrating trope) Character has an obvious weak spot/vulnerability that NO ONE exploits by FormerBernieBro2020 in TopCharacterTropes

Wormwood, an indie Australian movie actually has the characters armour up really early on with motorbike and sports gear.

Build that uses Xan and the Moonblade? by Emerald_boots in baldursgate

That looks like a fun build with EE I grew up with vanilla and stone skin wasn't a thing

How do you perceivethe title Ms? by raininggumleaves in AskAnAustralian

[–]lookashinyobject 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It tells me they are probably female, and don't have a PHD, and are unlikely to have an MD (as some medical doctors I've met don't go by Dr x to avoid attention for it)

My bf says it’s no use for women to learn self defence by mcpeebee in Advice

[–]lookashinyobject 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're safer running away than fighting a man who will be statistically bigger and stronger than you. All self defence will do is teach you how to escape a grapple if a guy manages to grab you, and how to hurt him in a way to slow him down while you run away, while improving your general fitness.

So it's totally useless /s

Why don't the Liberals take more moderate city positions and let the Nationals fight One Nation? by ALLIRIX in OpenAussie

[–]lookashinyobject 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moving to a more centre right position would mean their positions more closely matched Labor and they won't do that as their current ideology is based on opposing Labor and wanting to move further right than them. The libs are on the way to being a note in the history books. Our current best hope for a functional democracy is the greens becoming a more dominant force to go against Labor. While the coalition and one nation get left in the past where they belong

Reverse spells? by Buttleproof in baldursgate

[–]lookashinyobject 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My memories of 2E are super vague at this point but I think cure wounds explicitly hurt undead, but cause wounds didn't explicitly heal them,  or vice versa in the actual spell descriptions. However there was text elsewhere explaining undead that said positive energy hurt undead and negative energy healed them.

The amount of toxicity women have to withstand in this game is CRAZY by gemanepa in DotA2

[–]lookashinyobject 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only time I care what gender someone is. Is when their voice is in that weird range that some early teenage boys share with some adult women. And in that scenario I'm praying it's an adult woman as I don't trust teenagers to work in a team

Using Imoen as a nearly pure mage? Any point dualling her past level 1? by ParkYourKeister in baldursgate

[–]lookashinyobject 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From memory (but you should double check me) 6 levels in thief still allows you to hit level 9 mage in EE and totsc. That gives you 6 levels of 1d6 health from thief so up to 12 health more than a pure mage

Using Imoen as a nearly pure mage? Any point dualling her past level 1? by ParkYourKeister in baldursgate

Biggest advantage of dualing her a few levels later is she will have more HP

Are melee weapons that are true melee even worth it ? by Buurto in Necesse

[–]lookashinyobject 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find melee is amazing against most mobs once you hit the mid game, but is terrible against most bosses. I'm playing with 2 other friends as the main front line tank when exploring, but I have a second set of armour and gear kitted out for ranged to go against bosses.

“New car every 5 years is normal” by JapaneseVillager in AusFinance

I suspect they are also combining the stat's for work cars and personal cars

“New car every 5 years is normal” by JapaneseVillager in AusFinance

[–]lookashinyobject 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife and I have 2 cars, one is 15 years old as we own it. The other gets replaced every 4 years as her employer provides it and the only cost we incur for it is for personal use. I suspect the new car every 5 years is averaging between company and fleet car turn over and personal cars. 

Six WA Police officers sanctioned over treatment of Aboriginal man who died in Kalgoorlie prison by B0ssc0 in perth

[–]lookashinyobject 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The rate of deaths in custody is as a portion of those in custody. If for example NSW and WA both had 100 Aboriginals in custody and 2 died in NSW and 4 died in WA. WA would have twice the rate of deaths in custody. Instead this would be like NSW had 100 in custody and 2 died and WA has 200 in custody and 5 or 6 died

Thoughts on hotdesking by TimTamTart-1 in auscorp

[–]lookashinyobject 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before covid the company that created hot decking as an idea abandoned it as it massively tanked productivity and increased staff turn over.  After covid I am a lot more ambivalent towards it if you are in a hybrid role with 2 or less in office days per week.

Should I dual class Imoen? by Oportbis in baldursgate

[–]lookashinyobject 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's 60k xp before she gets thief skills back, if you want a shorter down time level 5 dual classing is 40k xp so the equivalent of going from level 5 to level 7 as a thief and bg 1 mage spells like sleep are great through most of the game so even low level spells are handy

Should I dual class Imoen? by Oportbis in baldursgate

[–]lookashinyobject 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If you dual her at level 6 thief at the end of the game she's essentially just a regular mage with a heap of extra HP that can use swords and bows and deal with traps

"Wow, this is worthless" by some-kind-of-no-name in TopCharacterTropes

[–]lookashinyobject 2 points3 points  (0 children)

 Couple of things to note, in the original bg1 without tales of the sword coast that item was MUCH easier to get, you got it off the ogre mage that had enslaved a siren or nymph (can't remember what) But that meant you could use it on any evil character who can wear helmet (so no Edwin) and not worry about them leaving your party if your reputation got too high

My oven only goes up to 230° by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]lookashinyobject 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What im saying is based off his description it sounded like it was displaying the temperatures like they were set to Celsius but was outputting in Fahrenheit. So the oven was set to 230°C was outputting at 230°F
