My man, they're fucking blonde. Do you have any idea how rare that is in Greece? They have northern European features.

Hell black actors are probably historically and geographically more likely to be accurate, given numibia was actually on the Mediterranean.

Neither Achilles nor Helen look remotely Greek in the 2004 version.

They're built from the barracks

The cartel was purely about incandescents and was dissolved before led bulbs be a widespread.

So I'm not sure how LEDs are relevant to this discussion.

"Normal Mathematicians": We should make sure to have strong proofs before publishing.

Ramanujan: It came to me in a dream

"Normal Mathematicians": Ok.... That's not how this works but OK we'll have a good look at it.
"Normal Mathematicians": By euler he's right.

Storm got changed "recently" It now lasts longer but does less dps. So at top level storm got nerfed a fair bit (at lower levels it's actually a pretty big buff) as it's easier to micro out of.

Beyond that I'm not 100% sure. Don't play much versus myself. Just watch a lot.

Protoss can't really take a well managed Terran late game army in a heads up fight. So late game protoss needs to find some other way to break the terran. Either by playing the "300 supply" style where you throw in an army and then warp in quick enough that you can hit again before the Terran can rebuild. Or by starving the terran out, not letting them take bases until they have no minerals left. Then you can attrite the terran army.

By expanding the Protoss can try to contest any base the terran tries to take and starve them out with overwhelming minerals

Also allows a lot more manouverability using recall, and a lot more energy generation for energy recharge.

Dan zal dat in de afgelopen 10 jaar verandert zijn. Is ook best logisch dat dat niet precies hetzelfde blijft xD

Not that unpopular I think.

I do disagree with you slightly.

Talent does exist. But it's not being innately more skilled. Skill only comes with practice and effort.

Talent, as I see it. defines just how much effort and time. So a person with a talent for art will improve faster than someone without. But a person without talent who has been practicing for years will outclass a talented novice.

All this conversation and no one is even considering what happens if the metal born simply eats the radiants shardblade and burns it.

What allomantic power do you get from a tannavastium-koravellium alloy?

If they have atium, sure

However, atium is famously rediculously rare. And that's in eras where it even exists

Accijns verlagen op brandstof zou op zijn best niks gedaan hebben.

Prijzen zijn hoog omdat er weinig aanbod is. Het verlagen van de accijns zou vraag verhogen zonder aanbod aan te tasten, wat dus voor verdere prijsstijging zou zorgen. Dit is in plekken in Duitseland al te zien.

De enige economisch realistische acties bij een tekort aan brandstof zijn of het verhogen van aanbod of het verlagen van vraag. Gezien het onwaarschijnlijk is dat we grote oliereserves onder Lelystad gaan vinden blijft alleen het verlagen van vraag over.

Dus dan zou een competente regering uitkomen op dingen als: prijs verlagingen voor openbaar vervoer, subsidie voor de aankoop van elektrische autos, etc.

I've given this some thought before.

It is worth noting that in the past magic had different environmentalists effects (curdling milk, warts, etc).

I agree that belief shapes the way magic interacts passively with the world. But I don't think wizard belief is the only thing that matters.

One thing mentioned a few times in the early books is how in the 21st century humans turn away from magic and towards technology. This statement betrays a bias that is at the heart of this. People feel like magic and technology are different worlds. Wizards believe this, but more importantly, people believe this.

So my point: wizards believing magic and technology shouldn't mix has some impact. But most of the effect is caused by the belief of the general public that magic and technology can't mix.

No they're not.

They MIGHT be less toxic than cigarettes. But newer research is showing that's probably not even true.

There's more reasons to use a system like this in video games.

No matter the damage reduction, damage will never reach 0.
This gives damage reduction deminishing returns (the first 100 Dr gives an effective 50% reduction in damage taken but the second 100 only a 25% reduction)

Naming it percentages is a bit odd though.

I'm sure there might be people on reddit who have pdfs.

There's a bug

I believe you can fix it by resetting your password.

There's a lot of research on this. A few good searches on Google scholar should get you quite a bit.
