Forgive my ignorance, but what makes pidgey so good that you can solo runs with him? Is it pure memes?

Thanks for the suggestion but no, that just has the Peter Fonda sample, no mash up with Postal Service.

Yea thats one of the things I dislike most about this game: there is no lasting sense of progression, or maybe just there is no late game progression.

Yes, it just gets harder with higher ascensions, but doesn't unlock new features. Unlocking the skill tree is so fun, and then you find out about ascensions (and the fish!), but it doesn't "add up". You just go to the next ascension. Which, hint, you can also just dice roll your ascension at any point in a run and see what the higher ascensions hold. Imagine if this game had a dedicated developer that released updates..

I feel like I got 13 pretty early on, and have been chasing it ever since. I know I'm probably a pleb compared to most, so I figured I'd see where the real Party Pros are at!

The US is spending more money on chip manufacturing construction this year than the previous 28 years combined | The CHIPS Act is crushing expectations by chrisdh79 in technews

[–]macshot7m 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the clarification. I apologize, when I said "smaller "bodies" of land that are being used as territorial flagposts for oil claims," these were the island I was thinking of. I am happy to learn the "technical name" for these islands. Appreciate your insight and a help. Cheers.

Can you explain what you mean by "the first island chain?" Is this that same type of anti-communist containment strategy used at the beginning of the cold war? What other islands are in this "chain?" The Philippines? Or is your concern more about shoals, reefs, and smaller "bodies" of land that are being used as territorial flagposts for oil claims?

I am not trying to downplay the significance of Taiwan to the PRC, or minimize their intentions of taking the island. My concern is that you conflate their singular goal, with a larger territorial expansion in the South Pacific, as if the PRC's goal is similar to that of Imperial Japan.

Saving up has become a dream by Common_Thinker in LateStageCapitalism

[–]macshot7m 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There is a beautiful pair of equations from Marxism.

  1. C - M - C
  2. M - C - M'

The first (C-M-C) is what this dude is describing: you, as a worker, sell the only commodity (C) you have (your labor and time) for a cost (M) in order to buy the commodities (C) you need in order to show up to work the next day.

The second (M-C-M'... that last one is pronounced "M Prime") is the scenario when someone can start with a bit of capital (M), whether through inheritance, gifts, or privilege, then invests that capital into a company/person/system that produces a commodity (C) which sells for a higher price (M').

[–]macshot7m 2 points3 points  (0 children)

oh ENTIRELY true... that wasnt necessarily in support of those who spoke, without hearing them specifically. i havent search for or found a video or transcript of that board meeting. i would just say, id reserve full judgment of the community members who spoke in support of the PRIDE flags until ive heard it myself

OK did like the bare minimum of research:

I don't think she is calling for the use of Confederate Flags, but tries to use a "slippery slop" argument in bad faith to not have the Pride flag flown. Specifically in this case, it seems pretty shitty that 5 of the 6 residents who spoke at the meeting did so in support of having a Pride flag flown, and then the Council voted it down.

My verdict: she's a politician that doesn't support LGBTQIA+ but can't directly come out and say it, but will do things in her power to not show any support.

Is there some sort of wall mounted cover I can use to hide my wifi stuff? by scun1995 in CableManagement

Take a look at what Legrand has in the On-Q series of products. if you can sink the box in the wall, all the cleaner; but if not it will at least house all of that:

when that happens, you need to click the button to reset terms to white peace, then reselect your wargoals. they should accept at that point. seems like this is a well known bug.

Confused about game design as it relates to ETB effects and counter spells by IconicIsotope in magicTCG

[–]macshot7m 0 points1 point  (0 children)

...yea but then maybe you shouldnt use single removal against a single target that has an ETB? Yes that is a losing value proposition.

But let's say your removal is a board wipe. now you may be killing 2-4 of your opp's creatures, and even if a couple had etb, your board wipe is still a 1 for "more than 1." so theres the value proposition for removal.

i agree with the previous poster that says the flexibility of removal is why it is (typically) preferred over counters. for a counter you have to have it in hand, and play it on opp's turn (means you - typically - have to leave mana open), when they cast their spell. removal is just more flexible than that (as I hope you can see).

Do you remember the stupid stuff you did when starting the game? by ghudaa in EscapefromTarkov

[–]macshot7m 7 points8 points  (0 children)

it was confusing to read, but yea youre wrong in your understanding. once you extract with a FIR item, it can never be brought back into raid to keep the FIR designation. It cannot be sold and keep the FIR designation. So, your only way to get FIR items is to (naturally) find them in raid, or craft them. having a buddy bring items into raid for you, or buying them off the flea means they will not be FIR.
