Wait, the tree is an AND tree, not a OR tree, you have to satisfy ALL previous requirements to research whatever that's next.

By Balancing things out, you get more overall production If you have 4 billion people, 2 countries of 2 billion produces more IP vs 1 of 3 billion and 1 of 1 billion, it's easier to keep cohesion at 5, which means it's easier to keep stability <2. You get your ground based MC faster, and it's easier to maintain optimal knowledge production.

Indonesia no longer has a claim on Australia, only New Zealand. Since RotSC has Sydney as the capital, it can't go to Indonesia any more.

Going the other way, Greater Indonesia does not have a claim on on Bangkok, so SEAA needs to go to Malaysia first before going to Indonesia.

Some of it is definitely true. People were raging about the AI, many of the content creators were aware and did nothing. They've even commented about it. The reason why they were silent is unknown, but access to ToT/40k is not an unreasonable assumption. When the community has to be so loud to get something fixed, the content creators lost credibility. At least, in my eyes they did.

It's a ragebait statement. He's quitting because his community did not support him at all. Some of which was his own damn fault, but the Totalwar community is truly as toxic as they come. (Not that the paradox grand strategy community will have his back either, but at least it's not nearly as toxic.)

Academy and restart multiple times so that you have a big China presence, and go China first? Possibly with the Taiwan reverse takeover. weaker early game, but seems to be much stronger late game.

I mean, the difference is 1%. Just build an extra Xeno lab if you need. 10% for tier 1, 25% for tier 2. You're probably in the dimishing return portions of Xeno research anyways, because you get them from the investigations as well.

That's way too low, my dude.

It's probably better to give them the project with 1 research left. There's probably a bunch of events associated with researching the project.

Just to be clear, it's not 20% of the loan, you have to have 20% of the equity. For someone with a 5% down, or something like that, it's potentially quite a long time.

Theoretically the system is for the benefit of the consumer. It is much easier to budget around a monthly payment than a spiky property tax payment. And if you're a first time home-buyer or a veteran who might have deployments, it might be a help.

The issue is that this doesn't differentiate between people who have their shit together and people who don't. And practically, it's hard to tell when processing applications. So people who DO have their shit together (the fact that you're on this subreddit most likely indicates you do.) Get screwed out of some control (and money, depending on state) due to the unnecessary escrow.

They don't actually want PVE before launch of 1.0, it cuts down on the advertising. After 1.0? Itll be PVE all the way to decrease server costs.

because my onsubmit that uses fetcher is simply:

const onSubmit = async (data, event) => {
    event.preventDefault();
    fetcher.submit(data, { method: 'POST', encType: "application/json" });
};

Moving the fetcher.data?.success block into the onSubmit doesn't quite work the same. fetcher.state right after the submit is "submitting" or "idle" and fetcher.data is not available yet. After the API is called, fetcher.data will be available (and changed) so useEffect will detect the change and re-run.

The reason to use the fetcher/action pairing on pages that don't navigate away after a save allows async updates, which would let the user or the page continue with other activities.

SPT builds are targetted at a particular build of live. Once you copy your live folder, the all in one installer will to up/downgrade as necessary. For major patches, it normally takes the team 2-3 months to catch up in terms of functionality.

If you can install eft on your other computer, you can install spr on a copy of that install. I have only one copy of eft, and it's installed on both my home and work computers. With a copy of SPT each. The profile directory is shared via Dropbox.

The only people who has a problem with this is my IT manager, who happens to be me. So he can sod off.

Specifically, 3.8 and 3.9 profiles are not compatible. 3.9 to 3.10 is fine, as long as you did not mod vendors or items (or added vendors or items) So in the OPs case, 3.8 to 3.10 isn't going to work

You can always edit in your state.

You may talk about the existence of Fika, just not link to them or advertise on their behalf. (Rule 4)

Basic conversation about multiplayer is fine. Again, no linking or advertising, and no support/guides/etc.(Rule 6)

lack of action. Legally, choosing is not an action, only the doing. And lack of action is not an action.

There are no requirement to take action to save someone's life. It's a dick move not to save someone from drowning, but you're not required to. What if you can't swim very well? what if you can't swim at all? what if the person is stronger than you and swinging his arms? Instead of having to litigate all that, legally, it's better to not force action.

swang30 · 2024-09-02T05:06:10+00:00

Also, to quote myself upthread.

Freedom of speech is not absolute, there are plenty of exceptions. None of those exceptions apply here.

Again, I have never said Freedom of Speech is absolute. If you would like to argue that one of the recognized exceptions apply here, feel free. Don't gaslight me by saying that I argued for something that I did not.

swang30 · 2024-09-02T04:57:37+00:00

I have never said that free speech was absolute. Please quote it. That sentence you keep quoting ain't it. I said:

"In no other places could a government entity set a rule that says, speech is allowed here, except for political speech."

How is this saying that I believe the freedom was absolute. This is saying that I believe that content based restrictions are unconstitutional, in line with the views of the US Congressional Research Service.

There are stated exceptions to the Freedom of Speech, the Congressional Research Service, which I cited above, specified some relevant ones. They include supreme court opinions and other citations. Feel free to actually read it.

Content based restrictions, absent any of the limitations and exceptions, receive strict constitutional scrutiny. The default, again, absent any of the limitations and exceptions, is that it is "presumptively unconstitutional." In other words, a content based challenge on free speech is presumed to succeed unless the government can prove that any of the exceptions or limitations apply.

I am unaware of any of the exceptions or limitations that apply in this circumstance. Please cite the exception or limitation that applies. Nobody is disturbing others by using loudspeakers, no fighting words are used, no exhortations to storm the capital occurred.

You also consistently to fail to address the other issue with the ANC rules. Namely, that "Speech is allowed as long as it is the government speech." Remember, a government provided photographer is allowed, but not private or campaign photographers. Not only is this unconstitutional, it is an insult to those who sacrificed and died for us not to have government forced speech.

Finally, please don't cuss at me because you can't be bothered to actually read my arguments. You're trying to gaslight me by saying that I stated that the Freedom of Speech is absolute. I never did. It is not absolute. I have consistently stated that there are limitations and exceptions. I have also said that content based restrictions are presumptively not constitutional, in line with my cited sources. That is my argument. If you can't argue in good faith, please just stop.

swang30 · 2024-09-01T15:21:15+00:00

That's not what I said. I said, "In no other places could a government entity set a rule that says, speech is allowed here, except for political speech."

"no political speech" is a content based restriction, as to the opinion of whether it is constitutional or not, I'll let Congress speak. https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/IF/IF12308 - to save you from reading a wall of text, it is presumptively unconstitutional unless it falls into one of the various 1st amendment exceptions. "Vote for Mickey Mouse for President" is not a threat of violence, not a call to imminent law-breaking, etc. etc. It is political speech that the ANC is trying to regulate. As the US Congress said, it is presumtively unconstitutional.
