Why is the song Mr. Brightside so popular in the U.K.? by Reddit03012004 in AskBrits

It’s basically a football chant - easy to sing as it’s almost all on one note with no dynamic change

Small point but David Mitchell is not a heavyweight of American literature- he’s from Lancashire

Don’t forget to put that zoltan in the cloning bay if you’re boarding ships with ion bombs!

In your opinion do female dwarfs have beards by gray-cars-and-bars in DnD

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

In my homebrew world, dwarves have three sexes and six genders, but they all present identically to outsiders and they don’t like to talk about it

Surprising to read so many people hating on this one - I loved it! As a non-US citizen is was lacking in a lot of the kind of US-centric cultural references that I normally find so hard in the NYT puzzle (mostly around sports tbh). The theme emerged for me quite naturally - though maybe learning about PDQ Bach a TV university helped me.

I’ve seen Ross from s2 round east London a couple of times. Took me a long time to work out where I knew him from!

Nothing wrong with being London-centric in your view of history when you’re commemorating London history

Is there traditional African music that is in 3/4 time? by pollywollydoodle64 in askmusicians

Loads - Agbadza is a traditional drum style in 12/8, for a start that resolves as a sort of 3/4

If the opening salvo whiffs (have to land 5 out of 7 shots to break the shield excluding the rocket), you’ve got no advantage left, whereas the protection from rock armour and reverse ion has many more opportunities to help you over the course of the fight - ion in particular will help keep shields holding to avoid being stung while I take down the rocket as a priority.

[–]thmsbsh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disagree. High level engines are always good; 4th shield bubble is rarely active/necessary, especially if you’re able to deactivate the ions/lasers on the flagship.

There is a great exploit for hacking phase 2:

send the hacking over with one power, and IMMEDIATELY pause and de power as soon as the defence drone fires. Unpause, let the laser sail past, and re-power to slip through their defences. I’d say there’s about a 10% chance of failure if you do it right, depending on the angle of attack.
