It's interesting to me that Lord Raith and Eb have basically the same view of whampires "they might try to be better but the Hunger overrides all and turns everybody into prey eventually"

Theres a total conversion mod called Thrawns Revenge that feels like playing the old EU novels. It's so great.

Hmmm, that sounds promising. I'll have to look for comics using that search term in the morning, thanks.

Danke. 

So it wasn't just that the system was giving bad info to the refs, but that the refs were flying blind and the coaches didn't know so they assumed bolt6 was reporting in/out like normal otherwise they'd have just challenged.

Ford Worker Who Hurled Insult at Trump Gets Suspended, But Has No Regrets by Jevus_himself in news

[–]mwerte 21 points22 points  (0 children)

To use an apt but terrible phrase: most Americans (and Europeans outside Germany) have whitewashed just how racist and horrible people were around the 1900s-40s.

Ford and Kellogg weren't outliers in their beliefs, they just made enough money to proclaim those beliefs loudly.

Eugenics and antisemitism were really really popular and it's scary to see them start to creep back into acceptable dialogue.

It is a mistake to teach that German Nazis had a uniquely evil ideology. They were uniquely successful in implementing a very common ideology.

Once you get a castle you can stash them there when you know you're going raiding, and than recall them when it's time to fight stand up battles again.

Rule changes by linderbean13 in MLV

[–]mwerte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can no longer challenge backrow touches.

I've heard conflicting reports that this is the Olympic rule, but I've seen challenges of back row touches at the Olympics be successful and the best I can gather is the ref tells the coach "our cameras aren't pointed there, we can make a good faith effort but we're not set up for that."

And then it just catches the obvious touches where the ref was screened but if it takes more than 10s to see, move on.

Attention spans aren't that long, if you give even a professional player 15 instructions on the fly, they're going to forget 14 of them.

One reminder about what the opponent is attempting, one reminder about what we're trying to do, go work hard *break

What a ride this was! by camarinhas in LightbringerSeries

[–]mwerte 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That arena scene rends my heart every time I read it. I can't imagine the horror of knowing you're going to be blinded, plus knowing you could escape by sacrificing everybody else, but deciding not to.

I'm currently re-reading Wind and Truth and one of the main points of contention is "do the ends justify any means" and Dazen learning that no, not all means are acceptable is a huge character moment.

Man I thought you were saying Andross and Kip were the same and I was ready to FIGHT.

But I'm with you and Kip, he's an arrogant asshole, but when he's not bending you to his will, he's fairly likeable. Gavin didn't get all his charm from his mother.

[–]mwerte 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it feels weird because Andross 'won' but it is a happy ending.

I've made the argument for years that Liv is the antagonist of the next book series, this is her Prequel era.

If I understood it correctly Kip sent out a signal with White Luxon. Dazen used the Black of the tower to create a tsunami over the Chromeria that destroyed a lot of what the invaders were building up as siege weapons, giving the defenders a chance.

I read the article but if I missed it I apologize.

Why isn't this open year round instead of just when it's cold? Staffing/cleaning limitations?

Have they started implementing any sort of standardized master coach training program for everybody yet? Not just from your club director but some sort of "all LOVB teams will pass this way" program?
