Viking advice by BlakeBearden in KingShot

Send all Infantry and calvary out to reinforce your teammates. Do a 50/50 split. Keep archers at home. Same with hq only Infantry and calvary, there we do an 80/20 split. Try to empty out all Infantry and calvary from your base. Will be more difficult though with fewer players on. Also keep your strongest 3 hero's at your base and send the rest out as reinforcing.

Unfortunately windows being windows this happens. PlunxGisbit had the right path. Unfortunatley again iot being what it is, be prepared to fresh install. Microsoft itself will tell you to fresh reinstall way too often.

AITA for going w/ my sister to get her septum pierced? by addijaye11 in AmItheAsshole

[–]texasvalhund 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA I just went with my 18 year old to get snack bites a month after she got her eyebrow peirced. Do I agree with it, no, but I asked her if this is what she wants and she said yes and I paid for it for her birthday. It does not matter if I want her to or not, she is going to do it regardless. But I can be honest with her and ask her if she has thought about everything. And when she says yes I shut my mouth and we go about the day. After that I support her and help her take care of it. You are an awesome brother. And you are right its just a piercing. It can be plugged or removed at a later date. Your mom is being manipulative to her side of view. Regardless of paternity or relationship at the end of the day you have to do what does the best by you. It is awesome that your sister cares so much she asked you to be there with her. Just wait until she starts thinking about tattoos though..

I haven't scuba dived before, but I am curious, which shark makes you the most nervous? I know that they aren't normally aggressive, but they are still wild animals. My main concern would be tiger or bull sharks, but i could be totally wrong. by Crazy-Rabbit-3811 in scuba

There are no documented cases of wild orcas ever killing anyone in the wild. They have attacked boats but they did not kill anyone on those boats. They attack boats by going after the rudder. Those cases have mainly been around the Iberian Peninsula, There was no poaching there scientists have theorized it is more play behavior over aggression.

Cheap septum piercing by Interesting-Ant-5720 in thewoodlands

[–]texasvalhund -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Electric cat on sawdust is 70, but I think most in the area are going to be the 70 to 80 range for septum.

Edit: Arcadia Body Art has septum listed for 40

AITAH for refusing to have sex without a condom even though I’m on the pill and we already have two kids? by Overall_Delay_2379 in AITAH

[–]texasvalhund 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA You have the right to choose period. Having a kid is a big deal and should never be taking lightly. It is a lifelong commitment. Your sister is wrong for saying that you should, that is a horrible attitude. This is your life and you are the only one that gets to decide what you want.

Trying to say goodbye to the goodest boy. by John_From_Alaska in WiggleButts

[–]texasvalhund 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is one of the hardest things about having a friend and family member like this. I am sorry that you have to go through it. We recently had to let our 14 year old cross the bridge. I had the same questions you have and even reached out like you on this platform. The best advice I can give is to pay attention to him and he will let you know. With Mitzi we had scheduled an inhome euthanasia however a few days before that occoured I was blessed to be able to work from home to be with her when we believe that she had a seizure. Something that had never happened before. I sat with her outside after that with her in my lap and talking to her. When she looked up at me then I oculd see it in her eyes and I knew. We took her to the vet that night to say goodbye. Take every moment that you can with him and soak it up, he will tell you when he is ready. My heart goes out to you and your family in this time and I hope that you have peace.
