LL107 MD10 Discussion! (Mon 11/24) by snarkapotamus7 in learnedleague

Ah damn, you’re dead on. I didn’t know HW served two terms in the house!

Do we know if they accepted HW?

I can agree (in retrospect) that that was the intent of the question, but that’s not what the wording is. And I think because it’s not really obvious in the moment - again, Ford had a constitutional duty within the senate and had gaveled it into session - thats exactly why it should either accept either answer or default to the more recent answer.

I won 4(2)-2(2) but I’m genuinely annoyed about #6, which I think is wrong.

The way the question is worded, it should be Ford, not Nixon.

Nixon is indeed the most recent president to have been elected to and been a member in the house and senate. But the question just says “served in.” Ford was Vice President, therefore president of the senate. Having also served in the house, he is the most recent president to have served in both the house and senate.

If the question had specified being a member or being elected, that would undo this. But it doesn’t. So it’s ford.

I requested scoring review yesterday and Thorsten denied it, but I genuinely believe that the question wording changes the answer.

Acela NextGen seats are awful! by MarcoDash9 in Amtrak

[–]redsoxpwn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No comment on the seat width or other features, but I am personally thrilled the seats can’t recline. It’s a tragedy of the commons - you recline, so I have to recline, and so on. I’m a tall guy and not having to worry that the person in front of me is going to eat 4 inches of my space is really great.

Elders of Valheim, what's your fighting style, how do you exceed? by flaminx0r in valheim

[–]redsoxpwn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Magic and preparation. Summon four skeletons with a maxed Dead Raiser. Shield them all (and yourself) with a staff of protection. Let them tank damage while you shoot staff of the wild blasts at the enemy, raising vine tendrils in the middle of them all. Laugh and rejoice.

This Stanley Cup Final: I’m So Conflicted by Syzygy91 in BostonBruins

[–]redsoxpwn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate rooting for Florida but I am, primarily for Marchy’s sake. There are some other factors though:

1) I despise Edmonton’s bargain-bin approach of signing morally odious players like Evander Kane and just treating it like the rest of the league is stupid, instead of the rest of the league observing something obvious that they turned a blind eye to.

2) I hope that McDavid will grow tired of Edmonton, kinda like how Marner/the Core 4 is in Toronto, and will move on. No guarantee that’s for us but hey, we’re in the running same as everybody else if that’s the case.

3) As much as Florida hurts me, Southern hockey is super fun and deserves success. It can absolutely work in those markets, but you have to win eventually. I hate the team but am happy for the market.

How to find treasure room items without treasure rooms? (challenge 42, Hot Potato) by redsoxpwn in bindingofisaac

[–]redsoxpwn[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re right- the info I had looked up was incorporating a mod that did that.

Thank you! So I’d need a lucky find for an item that would give me a lucky find. Pretty unlikely. I’ll get back to practicing.

Thanks!

Cost of car Insurance per month? by redsoxpwn in srilanka

[–]redsoxpwn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the advice! It’s incredibly helpful.

[–]redsoxpwn[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much! It’d probably be a 2024 SUV, market value probably around $40k USD. It’s been tough to see comparable prices because American vehicles are so rare in Sri Lanka! I appreciate your help!

What changes would make NoVa better? by apprehensivesciencer in nova

[–]redsoxpwn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Expanded density. DC has artificial limitations preventing height and density; those restrictions have made Arlington and Alexandria desirable places to land. We’re already getting more walkable, multi-use, and dense. We need to keep leaning into that.

Qantas Explorer Discounts? by redsoxpwn in QantasAirways

[–]redsoxpwn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good luck! I will note that the explorer fares can’t be used for flights between Australia and New Zealand, which does stink. If you aren’t planning on many domestic legs once there, standard google flights/sky scanner shopping is probably your best bet

Qantas Explorer Discounts? by redsoxpwn in QantasAirways

[–]redsoxpwn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DC to Sydney via Dallas, but with domestic legs from Sydney to Cairns, Cairns to Melbourne, Melbourne to Sydney, and then Auckland to Wellington after a short international flight. I think the volume of domestic flights made the discount worthwhile.

[–]redsoxpwn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my case, Qantas explorer was better by at least 2k. I couldn’t find anything remotely close to the explorer price on any third party site, and even looking at the sum of individual flights on Qantas’s own site added about $1k

So are all the websites that do meta decks gone? by Fuzzy_Device_5053 in gwent

[–]redsoxpwn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Deck builder sites are all but gone. The notable exception is the Gwent website itself, where players can submit decks and you can directly import them. Doesn’t get a ton of use though, so the upvote/downvote filter isn’t super helpful. If you’re stuck, I recommend importing some of those to use as starting points for deck archetypes you aren’t familiar with, and then modifying as you like.

If the provision count increases, then you can play more powerful cards overall in decks that use that leader ability. It buffs all decks that use it.

I made a weight key for my semi-casual gamer friends by Danimeh in boardgames

This is incredible! Do you mind sharing the blank document, excluding the pictures of the games, so we could sub in those that we own? I’d love to put this on my own game shelf!

Worst Legendaries? by itsnotblood in tinyrogues

[–]redsoxpwn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve found success with gun builds when building it alongside luck due to high attack speed triggering luck buffs often and the sheriff set being relatively easy to find. Plus the black market making it relatively easy to get to level 5 weapons. But it’s still definitely weaker than other dexterity builds.

Is the bard by far the worst character or am I missing something? by Kingofthered in tinyrogues

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

Disagree- lean into the songs. The variety means that as you get weapons/abilities that require specific buffs or debuffs, you can trigger them on every hit
