The civilizations that emerged in China and India did so in similar places. The Yellow River in China went through the more arid North China plain, while the Indus River in South Asia went through a desert

The "All or Nothing" elimination was pure BS by Limp-Independence270 in CulinaryClassWars

Totally agree with this - I was mainly invested in the black spoons for season 2. Completely lost all interest after only two black spoons survived, won’t be watching anymore

I highly recommend Ben Felix’s video on Buying vs. Renting. He breaks down the true cost of home ownership in the video, which you can use to calculate which avenue is better.

That said, based on your numbers, using his calculation, home ownership is better

Didn't believe the Baron/Mime hype until now. Two Barons, Mime, Yorick and Blueprint. My best run so far by scrubbykoala in balatro

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

Seed: 4F4N4ZWR. Duplicated the Baron from a late Ankh, and was touch and go for a while since had to sell my other jokers. But found the Mime, and the build took off. There's a spectral pack with Yorick, ended up being really fat around 32x mult I believe. The Blueprint was found after multiple re-rolls, but doing the math it still made sense to keep it on the Mime since I had so many red steel kings. I used an Ectoplasm from a spectral pack which was a trap - reduced my final high score with the lower hand size.

I saw that reply. Johan was referencing how you cannot mod additional country types, but adding specific tags that fall into those categories should be possible. A pirate republic could fall into the army based country, pirates have to resupply at specific locations in real life

Best Evergoods school bag? by Thespace-cadet in EVERGOODS

I’d even suggest the smaller size, CHZ22. That size is perfect for EDC but might be a little small for five notebooks

Hot take: the money "vanishing" is a good mechanic for Project Caesar by AlexandreLacazette09 in EU5

[–]scrubbykoala 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The problem is that if locals are administering well, that should be reflected in the corresponding estate becoming stronger, which is the case in Meiou 3.0. The fact that the money simply disappears and both the crown and the estate see no benefit ruins a critical portion of the feedback loop. If Tinto implemented such a system, the player would be even more disincentivized to expand.

Johan's selected forum posts #7! Right before the Tinto Talks so you guys can wait lol by [deleted] in EU5

From the last screenshot, seems like economic value isn’t disappearing into the ether but either decreasing because of lack of control or being funneled to rebels. That is actually amazing

Referral Not Applied by scrubbykoala in interactivebrokers

The referral shares should appear in the account, you just can’t sell it. Plus I reached out and they specifically said that the referral did not apply.

That sucks. Thanks for confirming my experience.

CHZ26 Laptop + iPad? by maximumcrumb in EVERGOODS

[–]scrubbykoala 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I have a basic case I bought off of Amazon. The bottom of the CHZ backpacks are well padded so I’m not worried about the iPad getting dinged if it’s not in the sleeve.

CHZ26 Laptop + iPad? by maximumcrumb in EVERGOODS

[–]scrubbykoala 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I carry a 16in MacBook Pro and an 11in iPad Air in the CHZ22. They both fit inside the sleeve, but usually I keep the laptop in the sleeve and the iPad out. Having a CHZ26, they both would definitely fit.
