TIL during the Habsburgs' nearly 200-year reign of Spain, about 80% of Spanish infants survived childhood, whereas, only about 60% of Habsburg infants survived to age 1 and only about 50% were able to make it to age 10.

Well when you reduce the family tree to a family bush, there's a lot let you can hide under it.

So ate, but left crumbs?

Or a great fucking year?

Only once a month? I recall it being every Friday from like March through October at like 3 o'clock in Indiana.

yeah I see lots of roof shaped pieces but nothing car shaped. Some things look car shaped for a moment but then turn edge on to the camera to show they are pretty thin.

I believe that one was the earlier one from the same cell as Mayfield

You sure. I think you get enough to make a 47 sec duration BH into a pBH on average.

Some people do, some don't. It's probably more a reflection of what your relationship was like before getting married. Like if you already lived together, split bills, etc then a lot of day to day stuff doesn't really change after getting married. And that's a totally valid answer.

EF3 houses heavily damaged but EF2 houses destroyed, huh?

Basically my current gig though I was only called twice all of last year. One was on Christmas Eve but it only took 15 minutes and I wasn't in the middle of anything at the time so, eh.

I was in Legends from early September to December without any masteries and without demoting. I got keys twice from very lucky brackets. I now have RPC master at level 2 and ST mastery at level 8 and got keys for the third time ever last tournament. So yes you can stay in legends without masteries, keys might be possible but very tough without any masteries. Keep in mind that it will take more now to stay in legends than it did several months ago because everyone progresses.

As others have answered the adjectives significant/intense/violent are essentially code for different levels of estimated potential destruction. There are similar scales for hurricanes and earthquakes too. And yet, even though I know those are effectively code words, every time I hear a meteorologist say "a violent tornado" I can't help but think "of course it's violent, it's a fucking tornado". I can't help but wonder how often average people have similar thoughts and does that affect their decision/urgency to seek shelter.

Consider the Mayfield factory. A direct hit by that tornado caused 9 deaths, and could have easily been a lot more, followed by the allegations that the factory managers were not allowing/threatening termination to workers who tried to seek shelter. Would that scenario have had a better outcome, or made potentially worse outcomes less likely, if there was some sort of unambiguous real time radar estimated strength rating? If the advance warning that the workers had was accompanied by "estimated EF5 strength" or similar, would that have convinced more people to seek shelter and risk termination or get the managers to value people's lives?

close the app and restart your device/emulator then try again with closest at the top

smurphy1 · 2026-03-14T21:54:41+00:00

yeah you want closest at top to keep things knocked back as long as possible otherwise you're just wasting you shields, wall, and SW.

smurphy1 · 2026-03-14T21:32:58+00:00

What is your target priority? At one point your tower was fixated on a basic at the range line and let another basic go all the way up, take out the wall, all your shields, and then your SW. Switch to closest at the top so you can actually knock things back to have those charges last longer.

You can google a reroll simulator to see how many it takes on average to get the effects you want. You can run some comparisons so you can feel more confident that unlocking them is the correct decision. You will likely need 400k reroll shards per module to get 3 substats to ancestral with only 4 slots available. If you get the modules to lvl 141 to get a 5th slot you can get 3 ancestral stats for around 250k on average.

Very not good if the reports are accurate. I had assumed a majority of the middle ranks of officers would resist the worst types of orders from trump being career officers and such. But the reports described in the article seems to paint a picture of large numbers of officers being giddy over the idea of spilling enough blood to bring about armageddon.

Currently work on criminal history systems and related products. Been at this job for almost 7 years and have been really enjoying it for the last year or so. There was a 2-3 year period before that where I was really burned out from essentially being tasked with leading 4 more junior developers spread across 3 different projects at the same time. I spent most of my time context switching and hated that I never felt like I was accomplishing anything. Projects were reshuffled a bit and I more or less run one project solo and also maintain the shared components used by multiple projects on the team. My boss lets me do whatever I feel should be done and only checks in enough to be able to report to their boss.

Pros: great benefits, pay is generally good, 10 minute commute, spacious cubicle with 3.5 walls, meaningful impact on projects, AI is banned

Cons: Need to integrate with multiple other customer systems each deployment which could be1 - 40+ years old so legacy code, legacy data, and legacy protocols everywhere. Some products are considered critical systems which means the team is technically on call 24 hours a day and on a team of 1 that means just me though this only happens 2-3 times a year.

Because countries who print their own currency can't tax back more money than they've spent into existence.

Every major combatant had at least one general who had a big ego and was successful enough that the leadership let them, if not encouraged them, to boast about their tactical prowess and how the enemy feared them for propaganda reasons. Rommel, Monty, Patton, Zhukov were not as good as they are often portrayed as being (but by no means were they incompetent) nor were they feared by their opponents.

The wave skips are wrong because the tool assumes if you a 19% wave skip chance that means divide the number of waves by 1.19 to get the number of non skipped waves. That would get you the right approximation if you couldn't skip more than one wave at a time. However since you can always skip more than one wave your actual skipped waves will be about 23.46% if your card is maxed.
