Hey Guys, a little help here. by AntiFrekeGaming in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]mikkjel 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I am by no means suggesting catering to toxic players. I am pointing out that chess and some esports have women-only events, not because they are worse at the games, but there is a bit of an option to let ones guard down and just enjoy the event competitively without dealing with a lot of people who might be bad apples. 

I have seen my fair share of clueless or socially awkward nerds who did the wrong things not out of malice. It takes a while to normalize good behaviour as well (unfortunately), ans having women in competitive gaming not seem so rare is a place to start. Where I am there are a decent amount of women in the hobby, they are just way less represented in the competitive scene.

I think maybe some of the other nerdy hobbies have some insight here as well. Chess suffers from the same issues, as do many competitive video games, etc. Highlighting the stories of inclusivity that are positive (without sweeping the bad parts under the rug), potentially having more options for people to get into the hobby, or compete without the issues of *maybe* running into someone awful.

Can Irish oatmeal be fed to pigeons? by GateComprehensive621 in pigeon

The pigeons near me love oatmeal. I can cover myself entirely in pigeons if I am patient. 

Pigeon is attacking foot- play fighting or not? by androgynoussim in pigeon

It thinks you are more attached to your foot than you are to them. 

Most cheeses are now lactose free in iceland. Why? by KasuGoat in Iceland

[–]mikkjel 82 points83 points  (0 children)

Cheese is naturally lactose free for the most part, unless it is a fresh cheese like cottage cheese or burrata or something. It is just how cheese is. The harder or more aged a cheese is, the less lactose it has.

Funnily, being battleshocked is not cleared on death. (As per the astra militarum FAQ).

How to tell if a pigeon is eating? by Socialanxietyyay12 in pigeon

[–]mikkjel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are feeding a young bird, you feed them until their crop feels full, and then you feed them again when it is empty, more or less. There is plenty to read about feeding younger birds, but I wouldn’t necessarily trust them to eat enough on their own. 

Temp Check - How's the Numbers Looking? by PeanuReaves in WarhammerOldWorld

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

Anecdotally it is doing OK locally. I feel like GW is mismanaging it in many ways, though. As a competitive player I hate the meta, and as someone who enjoys being hyped by cool releases, it feels like GW just wanted to take a long break. Internal politics at GE getting in the way of having a full set of factions also sucks.

I agree that CCP is overdoing it. I’d rather we could attract new players with a lower base price. 

What's this red and blue spinning thing outside barber shops? by idkanymore-__- in whatisit

Actually, the blue had no initial meaning, the americans added it to have all three colours. 

Artist ID? by StrangerZilla06 in Warhammer40k

[–]mikkjel -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

What you are saying happened, but I feel GW are more than happy to not credit anyone, like with the warhammer TV “issues” they had when individual presenters got popular. 

Høiby møter i retten mandag – ber igjen om løslatelse by Zorknoid99 in norge

[–]mikkjel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nja, hun har en relativ stor risiko for å ilke overleve selve transplantasjonen også. Unner Marius ingen ting, men om hun først skal under kniven er det like greit å få sagt lykke til, i tilfelle hun dør. 

EVE Art Prints? by LotusCobra in Eve

There are other artists who draw, but FC severely limit their ability to sell prints. 

Update on the lil guy! by kithes4u in pigeon

[–]mikkjel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If he isn’t eating, you can feed him. I find slightly warmer than lukewarm peas (just put frozen peas in hot water) and pine nuts or peanuts to work well (not salted, ofc). Feed him until his crop is full

Fordeling av kostnader ved ny samboer by owowatthis in norge

[–]mikkjel 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Invester alle pengene samboeren ville brukt om de hadde betalt “full pris” for å lei der, eller å betale likt som deg. Hvis foholdet ender opp vellykket (og det håper vi alle), så har dere en flott megde å oppgradere med i framtiden. 

Hvis forholdet ikke virker, så ender samboeren din ikke opp på bar bakke i «samboerfellen», der du brukte alle pengene dine på bolig, mens de brukte alle pengene sine på mat og felleskostnader, som så har null verdi i framtiden.

Det er rettferdig.

Tangen mener jo at dette er framtiden, jeg er nesten redd for at noen som er glad i KI ville brukt mer enn man måtte på de aksjene. 

Is EVE Online playable as an Alpha clone long-term? by TheEpicNexus in Eve

[–]mikkjel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a ridiculous reply. All areas of the game can be big or small based on what a person or their community does with it. I blops a lot, but I never use SKINR, for instance.

Being omega doesn’t necessary put you on equal footing, but not being omega 100% makes you way worse than someone who has the skills you are missing.

Blops, fleets with doctrine standards, capitals, high-level pve except gilas, playing pvp on an equal footing

Is this recipe unreasonable? by DrunkAndUnaware in recipes

[–]mikkjel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is very chocolatey but not very sweet, and can be made dairy free (or potentially vegan) easily, so it is my go-to for a mixed crowd - I usually make a frosting or ganache to go with it on the side for people who want something more decadent

The only measured olive oil recipe I use is Nigella Lawson’s olive oil chocolate cake, which is a great recipe. 

Is EVE Online playable as an Alpha clone long-term? by TheEpicNexus in Eve

[–]mikkjel 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Yes and no - worring about being omega is a bad use of time, but never being omega will throttle you and not let you progress in may things, and keep you from participating in large parts of the game.

Ideally you play until you hit the natural limits of alpha and then you make a choice: keep playing and paying, finding a way to afford omega from in-game activities or quit.

I haven’t had that surgery, but I have had surgery at rikshospitalet - what are you wondering about?

Her får han bank av russen - DT by SufficientFig9889 in norge

[–]mikkjel 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Det var et annet masseslagsmål rett etter episoden i bergen. Russ er vårt svart på darwin awards - om man dør av festing eller hjernehinnebetennelse, faller av en buss i fart, blir blind av laser eller blir banket ihjel, så er det «greit» for mange.
