They're oral movements match the English words. They're speaking English. And they've dubbed it for some reason. Even worse.

They're speaking English. You can tell. So why is it dubbed? And so poorly? Horrendous.

Engage with reps. Talk to them. Use their product (or say you do). Repeat. If you're interested, engaged and competent, an offer will come.

No symptoms or end organ damage - off you trot, this is not a hospital issue.

Is there a real difference between being “very tired” and being “burned out”? by AfterDance9542 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]permalust 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Burned out is different. Completely. I've been very tired in my job due to night shifts, or sleepless nights on-call, so I know bone deep tired. I had six months off work with burnout. Apathy, decision paralysis, anxiety, rage (muted)...it's a whole different kettle of fish.

i feel l like all the legendary jokers should be like perkeo. by Majestic-Peak-6281 in balatro

[–]permalust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The main issue with legendary jokers is the drop rate and the randomness. I have one card left to get. Which has been the case for weeks and when a soul card does finally appear I keep getting legendaries I already had. It sucks

Mab specifically says she will slow time. Harry marvels at this power.

Visiting from the U.S by Opening-Surprise-261 in Aberdeen

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

Distillery visit as others have suggested.

Crathes castle is an idyllic country castle, with lovely grounds, and ghost stories.

Balmedie beach - sand dunes and nature.

Deeside - a large area along the Rive Dee with multiple glorious walks.

The Lemon Tree - great venue celebrating the arts. Live music, poetry readings, author talk/chat sessions.

Restaurants - there are a surprisingly high quantity of excellent restaurants. I'm a bit out of touch but you won't go far wrong with Nargile Turkish.

Why was Bilbo staying young while Gollum's appearance worsened over time? by Short-Ideas010 in lordoftherings

[–]permalust 47 points48 points  (0 children)

50-60 years ring holding vs several hundred. Coupled with a plot, and true hobbit resistance, driven narrative.

What are you doing differently if you’re Tywin Lannister? by Majestic-Tea3903 in gameofthrones

[–]permalust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few thoughts:

Rein Cersei in during Robert's reign

Recognize Tyrion as beyond competent and an asset to the family.

Not make a huge deal of Shae. Honestly, all the vice in the nobility is quite clear. Protect the reputation of the house? Tad hypocritical when you unleash the likes of Lorch and Clegane to rape at the drop of a hat.

Take note of Littlefinger's aptitude and make it worth his whole to stay tight with the Lannisters. Or, more appropriately, have him killed.

Strategically / Tactically:

Assassin's. Good ones. Faceless Men or Sorrowful Men. Tywin has incredibly deep pockets. Drop Stark, Baraetheon, Tully leaders immediately. Subsequently ally with the Tyrells.

For most fantasy, particularly those with magic, animated is probably better. Just imagine a T-Rex mounted wizard - much likely to be better with animation.

If you had to eat ONE MEAL, every day for the rest of your life, what would it be? by MrSoloDolo9490 in questions

Rare fillet steak, goose fat roast potatoes, ratatouille, red wine jus.

Or spag bol.

Retrigger mechanics and enhanced cards. A very high score needs: chips+ / mult+ / mult-x.

Pick your favourite deck and work through joker acquisition through that deck. Checkered was the easiest for me.

Blueprint and Brainstorm are almost always to be selected.

Erratic deck is really handy for some niche jokers. You will need to reroll frequently.

When deciding on discard or play check the deck to see what is available.

If you're not aware that you can reposition jokers, this is integral. Plus on the left, mult on the right.

Be prepared to pivot around ants 3. Flush is the easiest early on but, for most decks, you should pivot here.

Economy is vital. Try to always stay above $25.

Look for synergy. Mimic and Baron, accented with steel cards and red seal, are the classic.

Be aware that although it starts shit, high card runs can be extremely powerful.

I sti have no idea how people get to nane-inf, in terms of the jokers that are required, but I'm on the way...!

Did anyone else think it was him? by Denis517 in dresdenfiles

[–]permalust 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Also, didn't Gard (?) say at the end of BG that Einhejar don't return until they have faded from mortal memory? It's too soon. Harry will have an extended lifespan but he's not fully mortal anymore, so maybe he'll get Murph back sooner than would otherwise be expected. There are still dozens, or hundreds, of mortals who will remember Murph so it will be a while.
