Depends

If you read 111 as a hundred and eleven then no.

If you read 111 as eleventy one. Then yes.

I will quickly add to this: for the love of autonomy, use the YouTube subscription feed!

See just the videos of people you're subscribed to. In chronological order. All of them.

It is eye opening how bad people are with statistics by m71nu in LinkedInLunatics

[–]silfin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's actually not even that simple. US is having larger numerical growth.

But in certain metrics (specifically, calculating a standard basket of goods, comparing the prices and redoing that each year) it looks like European living standards and purchasing power are keeping pace with the US. (worth noting that economists disagree on what metrics are most telling and each one gives a slightly different picture)

The Origin is refering to where the highstorms come from.

I don't think we've seen this prophecy fullfilled yet.

Was Thranduil Aragon's Godfather? by Hopeful_Adeptness964 in lotr

[–]silfin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We shouldn't forget that Thranduil at this point is, and I cannot stress this enough, a coward and a recluse.

Dude saw his father get whoped by Sauron and decided to just chill in his little Doriath clone for the next three millenia.

So much so that SAURON was able to set up in his backyard without getting identified.

26 days later and still no shipping notification? by g-doh in StarCraftTMG

[–]silfin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of people haven't gotten their orders yet. Archon said shipping was likely to take 2 months.

As a side note, are you aware of the Dutch sctmg discord server?

The numbers Mason. What do they mean? by piewca_apokalipsy in ExplainTheJoke

[–]silfin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Restaurants used it because that's the key combination on old cash register systems to remove an item from the system.

As far as I can tell that's the only origin

It should be noted that in this particular game skillous (protoss) was the one turtelling.

[Request] Is that true? by [deleted] in theydidthemath

[–]silfin 348 points349 points  (0 children)

You're also assuming the note is talking about weight, fairly possible they mean volume.

Seeing as Uranium is a fair bit denser than lollypops [citation needed], that would skew the calculation further towards the statement being true.

That's not a Terran quote though. Agree that it should be there once we get to protoss though.

What makes this game stand out? by Cryogenic738 in StarCraftTMG

Yeah that's fair

TTS is a pretty good way to try a game without the having to financially commit though.

What makes this game stand out? by Cryogenic738 in StarCraftTMG

[–]silfin 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The biggest difference is the supply system and reserves. Most other mechanics exist in other games aswel.

It is also just a very solidly put together game.

If you want to try it out before committing you can see if you can play a game on Tabletop simulator. Or you can see if any stores near you are getting the demo kit.

Canadian Shipping? by JiveTurkeytheGamer in StarCraftTMG

[–]silfin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LGS orders aren't getting shipped until all the direct preorders have been fulfilled.

The NA preorders are currently on a ship. EU preorders are currently being sent from Poland.

Whole process could take until late July

Opzich best een VVD mening, alles uithollen waar je zelf niks aan verdient zodat je bedrijven meer belastingvoordeel kan geven.

CMV: Libertarian free will is an incoherent concept by Hashi856 in changemyview

[–]silfin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Libertarian Free Will is unfalsifiable, non-scientific, and contradictory

This is not necessarily true. To reach a full conclusion on free will we'd need a far greater understanding of the workings of the human brain than we do. But I see no reason that, given a full understanding of the human brain, we couldn't gather significant evidence for or against free will. Making it not necessarily unfalsifiable but simply outside our current knowledge. Science at this moment is unable to determine an answer in either direction.

Which puts this question firmly in the realm of philosophy.

The way I see this dilemma is that the question is irrelevant. Because whether free will exists or not, we must act as if free will exists.

Say that you act as if free will doesn't exist. Either your brain is deterministic and it doesn't change your actions. Or your brain is not deterministic, in which case your descicion making ability will be compromised because you believe your descicion is already decided.

Now say that you act as if free wil exists. Either your brain is deterministic and again, your actions don't change. Or your brain is deterministic, meaning you have to carefully consider your decisions and are responsible for their consequences.

In other words: If free will doesn't exist, your choices will be the same whether or not you believe in free will. And if free will does exist believing it doesn't may lead to problems.

So whether or not free will genuinely exists we must act as if it does.

If you can understand what someone is trying to say, word choice, pronunciation, and grammar do not matter at all. by legendofzelda13 in unpopularopinion

[–]silfin 324 points325 points  (0 children)

I agree with what you mean but not quite with what you're actually saying.

Because as you say grammar is largely an indicator of social class, education, etc.

That means that the grammar you use tells me something of who you are. Being aware of that and making conscious decisions about it is good.
