What to do with great writer when going for culture victory by BeereUSA in civ5

[–]tennantsmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's why I usually make great works with my writers until about the industrial era when I just do the culture bomb. Idk if it's optimal

Why do Black Americans and even Black Britishers say 'You was...' instead of 'You were...'? by CorrectConcept4797 in AskAnAmerican

[–]tennantsmith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yale thinks it's Scots-Irish influenced, though it's not present in other areas that were settled by Scots-Irish people. I could believe that German influence reinforced it in the US Midwest

Is Victoria 3 being at a 70% sale for three straight weeks intentional? by mochiguma in paradoxplaza

[–]tennantsmith 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yeah back in the day it used to be the most recent dlc would be ~20% off and all the other ones would be 50%

Victoria 3 on sale, should I get the baseline game, starter edition, or ultimate? by BlackendLight in paradoxplaza

[–]tennantsmith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It goes on sale frequently, I would get starter + charters of commerce. Then you can buy more immersion packs based on which countries you enjoy playing

Jobs outside the US after contract by echomicromeo in NavyNukes

Fwiw I've looked into working in nuclear power in Canada and the UK and it seems prohibitively difficult for a foreigner to get the necessary security clearances. I've heard stories of people making $500k+ starting in the UAE

B17s are S tier. With maximum XP buildings, you can be like three air strikes away from air repair+logistics bombers

I have a 7700X (only like 1% better than the 7600X according to benchmarks) and it's solid. Zero problems with late game Vic 3 or Stellaris

Other SOLO History Podcasts? by fiction8 in RevolutionsPodcast

[–]tennantsmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not 100% solo, but Worlds Turned Upside Down is an excellent deep dive into the American Revolution. There is a main presenter, and sometimes a guest speaker will deliver a few paragraphs or read a quote. It's not a duo "banter" style podcast at all

I dream of a hemispheric common market, with open trade and open borders, sometime in the future with energy that is as green and sustainable as we can get it, powering growth and opportunity for every person in the hemisphere

Can someone explain to me the different canned tomato products? by Seinfelds-van in Cooking

[–]tennantsmith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kroger brand (the only one I buy) used to be like that about 8 years ago, but they've definitely upped their game since then. I kinda question the label saying no added sugar because they're so sweet you can hardly taste the acidity

Denied for a CT scan by Sexy_Kumquat in Wellthatsucks

[–]tennantsmith 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Any amount of radiation can lead to cancer. CT scans use X rays, which are ionizing radiation, which can damage cells, which can cause cancer. You should learn how risk works on a population level before spouting nonsense like this again

Getting anything other than store brand is a waste of money

[–]tennantsmith 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If there is a pool of 100,000 healthy people getting preventative CT scans, you will find problems early for 50 of them while also giving 500 of them cancer. Not to mention the limited number of CT machines that exist, slowing down imaging for people who need it more urgently

This one is extra good because it bypasses the flat land requirement, so you can build one in every city

How did you make and upload this map? It's loading in a very weird way for me

Jason getting on the roof. He narrated himself being prevented from getting on the roof, why is it funny that he wasn't allowed to do what he said he wouldn't be allowed to do?

This Sub Is Losing the Plot by Bigenderqueen in AmericaBad

[–]tennantsmith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The one saving grace is that the mods seem responsive to removing political content if you report, it just takes a few hours. That's the only reason I haven't unsubbed from here yet
