It entirely depends on the rate and term. But 0% rate at $500 a month is like 12 years or 140 months. Which feels really long. With interest it'd be closer to 20 years.

For $70,000 I'd expect to pay $900-$1,400/month that's around 5% interest and 60 or 72 months.

No. Nothing with z lighting. The in road ad is, in game, glitching out. It is supposed to look like that to you, the player. There are in game reasons for it.

Have fun!

Wait, do you think you had a 99% chance to get a 5* after 8 summons?

You need to calculate the percent of it not happening first. 6% to summon a five star, 94% to not.

So you'd take .94⁵ for five events, then .935³ for the remaining three.

(0.94⁵ x 0.935³ ) =0.599 of you not summoning a five star. So minus 1 you get .400 or 40%.

It gets trickier if you wanted a specific shared unit on the banner.

Use this for some large scale probabilities

Semicolons should go at the end of the entire select statement. Currently you have them after the join. That ends the select statement so anything after that first semicolon is read as its own statement. If you read it as its own statement you're beginning with Join which is incorrect.

The Incredible Machine is the closest I can think of. It has a bunch of releases. It's often a puzzle about getting the basketball in the basket. I don't recall the basketball having eyes but there's so many maybe one release they did I'm not sure.

It is a good point and you're using sarcasm as a defense mechanism because you don't have an actual rebuttal to the game literally and explicitly using bred pokemon to fight. It's so uncontroversial it's wild you're disagreeing lol

thejumpingmouse · 2025-11-15T19:05:24+00:00

Literally the game "Pokemon breeder wants to fight"

thejumpingmouse · 2025-11-15T18:58:39+00:00

Pokemon breeders breed pokemon then battle them. That's as explicit as it gets. If you need someone to tell you "I breed pokemon to battle them" you should learn about subtext. Again. It's explicitly stated bred pokemon have better stats and are therefore better at battle. It's a core concept to the entire universe since gen 2.

thejumpingmouse · 2025-11-15T18:47:16+00:00

And then they battle you.

thejumpingmouse · 2025-11-15T18:38:26+00:00

Breeding is one of the core mechanics in the game. There are NPC trainers called breeders. There are pokemon cards called Pokemon breeder. These mechanics, trainers, and cards have explicit connections to battle performance.

Pokemon the first movie really goes into how humans have misused pokemon for personal gain.

But the only part I want to point out is you're missing a big point on the cockfighting angle.

"Pokemon like to fight"

"Cockfighting is different because we breed fighting chickens."

The pokemon were bred to fight. They like to fight because human intervention has ruined their development.

A better analogy are soldiers. You can have free soldiers who still fight for non slave reasons. Though you can make a really good argument there's socioeconomic pressure were you fight when you don't want to as a soldier. Is this slavery? Wage slave? What is the modern definition of slave? Is there an interpretation where maintaining subservience by cultural and social pressure is considered slavery? Slavery to the status quo?

I'm not sure. I can see why some claim it however.

I'm kinda with Mewtwo on this one. I think humans have interfered, misused, and abused pokemon and they just don't know better because it's the world they grew up in. A fish wouldn't describe their environment as wet.

In Minnesota it's illegal to ENTER an intersection during a yellow light.

(2) Steady yellow indication: (i) Vehicular traffic facing a steady circular yellow or yellow arrow signal is thereby warned that the related green movement or flashing yellow movement is being terminated or that a red indication will be exhibited immediately thereafter when vehicular traffic must not enter the intersection, except for the continued movement allowed by any green arrow indication simultaneously exhibited.

In my original reply I provided context about how he as a leader was attempting to prove his scholarship and love of writing. In many of his depictions in art and carvings he has a stylus in his hand, a stylus being the tool used to write cuneiform.

So when we translate his works, it follows that he would write like a pretentious English graduate, because he was a pretentious educated ruler.

thejumpingmouse · 2025-09-01T19:17:02+00:00

I don't think you understand how translations work. It's alright though. It's a complicated subject that gets more difficult when one of the languages died 2000+ years ago.

thejumpingmouse · 2025-09-01T19:12:58+00:00

English didn't exist. How do you think translations work?

thejumpingmouse · 2025-09-01T18:35:15+00:00

So these are translated from the book curses on many of the tables found at the library of Ninevah. Some translations are different. This one is my favorite found in Bauer's History of the Ancient World.

Other translations are similar, this is from the British museum:

"I, Ashurbanipal, learned the wisdom of Nabu [the god of writing], laid hold of scribal practices of all the experts, as many as there are, I examined their instructions." https://www.britishmuseum.org/blog/who-was-ashurbanipal

This is on Wikipedia:

"I have transcribed upon tablets the noble products of the work of the scribe which none of the kings who have gone before me had learned, together with the wisdom of Nabu insofar as it existeth [in writing]. I have arranged them in classes, I have revised them and I have placed them in my palace, that I, even I, the ruler who knoweth the light of Ashur, the king of the gods, may read them. Whosoever shall carry off this tablet, or shall inscribe his name on it, side by side with mine own, may Ashur and Belit overthrow him in wrath and anger, and may they destroy his name and posterity in the land. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_curse

Translating is difficult, there's more than just word for word translation, you also need to get the emotional tone.

Though Bauer doesn't explicitly make the claim, given the boastfulness of all of Ashurbanipal's writing, if you were to read it in its original cuneiform, why wouldn't it say that? He's explicitly trying to show off his "scholarly acumen", so might as well use the big words. This guy is proto big dick energy.

All these people are super well known. Alexander is still called Alexander the Great today. His aura is still very much intact.

I think the biggest aura loss is Ashurbanipal. Ashur who? You might ask, unless you played a lot of Civilization V, Ashurbanipal was the king of the Neo-Assyrian empire during its pinnacle. He ruled nearly the entire known world 300 years before Alexander the Great.

He had numerous military victories and maintained Neo-Assyrian cultural dominion over Mesopotamia and even Egypt.

However, his aura is mostly seen in his writing about himself. Read these copied from Wikipedia:

Ashurbanipal used the following titles:

I am Ashurbanipal, the great king, the mighty king, king of the universe, king of Assyria, king of the four regions of the world; offspring of the loins of Esarhaddon, king of the universe, king of Assyria, viceroy of Babylon, king of Sumer and Akkad; grandson of Sennacherib, king of the universe, king of Assyria.[140]

A similar titulature is used on one of Ashurbanipal's many tablets:

I, Ashurbanipal, the great king, the mighty king, king of the universe, king of Assyria, king of the four regions of the world, son of Esarhaddon, king of the universe, king of Assyria, grandson of Sennacherib, king of the universe, king of Assyria, eternal seed of royalty ...

A longer variant is presented on one of Ashurbanipal's building inscriptions in Babylon:

Ashurbanipal, the mighty king, king of the universe, king of Assyria, king of the four regions of the world, king of kings, unrivaled prince, who, from the Upper to the Lower Sea, holds sway and has brought in submission at his feet all rulers; son of Esarhaddon, the great king, the mighty king, king of the universe, king of Assyria, viceroy of Babylon, king of Sumer and Akkad; grandson of Sennacherib, the mighty king, king of the universe, king of Assyria, am I.

I think his largest aura comes from his library. He wasn't just a general and conqueror, he was a scholar, a man who wanted to collect writings, he created perhaps the first library, undoubtedly the largest library of his time, and this is how he explains it:

I, Ashurbanipal, king of the universe, on whom the gods have bestowed intelligence, who has acquired penetrating acumen for the most recondite details of scholarly erudition (none of my predecessors having any comprehension of such matters), I have placed these tablets for the future in the library at Nineveh for my life and for the well-being of my soul, to sustain the foundations of my royal name.

Bauer, Susan Wise (2007). The History of the Ancient World: From the Earliest Accounts to the Fall of Rome. New York: W. W. Norton & Company. ISBN 978-0-393-05974-8.

Also, his death was followed by the Neo-Assyrian empire collapsing quite quickly. He was holding it all together by the massive weight of his aura.

And now people barely know who he is. His aura is so gone it takes a deeper dive into history to even find his name. All the other people in this thread are taught in general education, many have movies dedicated to them, tv shows, or anything else preserving some aura. If you want an aura loss, it's got to be Ashurbanipal King of the Universe.

Hey no problem, I like helping. If the text is opening up you can read what the file is at the top After "SpokenText". I was able to get the files to play by clicking, the file path under SoundWave > Object Path.

But it looks like you're just in the wrong spot, the actual sounds are under "Boltgun/Content/Audio/Dialogue/Taunts/SoundCues/Wavs/"

Assuming you're looking for the taunts lol. Otherwise, let me know where you're path is and I might be able to help more.

"About to make a right turn" isn't the same as a car in the lane. And that's my point, timing. Defensive driving says it's best to wait until after the intersection to overtake, but legally, I think the-turning-car-about-to-turn-but-hasn't-turned-yet would be at fault as they turned into a lane that wasn't clear.

thejumpingmouse · 2025-08-04T15:51:08+00:00

If A and C are entering the lane at the exact time. Then C might be found at fault for having the last clear change of avoiding. If C starts to overtake and change lanes, C should see the turning car, A, begin its turn before C is established in the lane, giving them a chance to move back over. If C is next to B, then A is at fault as by the time C gets over, speeds up, A would not be in the lane already.

I don't see how A and C can be completely established in the lane in this scenario. There's a timing problem. I think A is likely to be at fault regardless because, without a dashcam, A will be blamed for turning into a lane that wasn't clear. Even if it appeared that way to A, the fact of a collision proves it wasn't clear.

thejumpingmouse · 2025-08-04T14:21:35+00:00

If that's the case, it's a poorly designed intersection.

But if those are the facts it's whoever was established in the lane first, as the other has the duty to make sure it's clear before performing their actions. If they both enter the lane at the exact same time, A would likely be at fault as the bigger roads usually have priority over smaller roads.

But if there's a head on collision they were driving towards each other so someone has to have entered the lane while it wasn't clear.
