It had a winning record for like 8 years in a row before humans found a strategy that beats it, that seems pretty good.

This one isn't even real. "Fewer" can only refer to countable things, but "less" can refer to both countable and uncountable things, and has been used that way for hundreds of years. It has never been wrong to say "less."

I don't understand the chart in this article about body type vs. underwear style. It doesn't relate to the question that it's located directly under, and it makes no attempt to explain why, for example, thin men shouldn't wear boxers.

I can't tell if this article is AI generated or just rushed out by someone trying to meet a quota.

There is something, but the top-level answers that would involve explaining the nature of and relationships between some of the forces involved in the setting are deliberately obscured. By paying attention to descriptions and dialog it is possible to learn specifics about a lot of characters and events, but you have to speculate a bit about cosmological questions.

In the section about his personal life, it says that he is sometimes invited to preach at churches. I think that's about the extent of it.

Sorry, there wasn't a source so I just went looking and this was the first thing I found.

I thought so too, but the story checks out. Their engagement announcement was on page 7 of this local newspaper:

You have to read between the lines a bit: she was involved in FFA as a high schooler and graduated in 2007. He appears to have been involved in FFA extensively. It doesn't mean for sure that they first met at an event where she was a student participant, but it seems likely. And of course, the age gap is the same either way.

This protects him from prosecution but doesn't require other officials to help him break the law. States don't need the president's approval to run elections, and Congress doesn't need his approval to certify the votes of electors in the presidential election specifically.

Can you tell me why I was game banned? "No."

Many companies take this approach and it always leaves me feeling unsettled. How can we have confidence in moderation that isn't transparent?

I am not surprised that Yennefer selling out the Lodge got scrapped. That sounds like a plot thread that deserves way more room to breathe than being crammed into the ending sequence.

Interesting, I make sets of 10. When I see 7 and 6, half of the 6 moves over to make 10 + 3. I say "moves over" because it feels like dividing tokens into sets in my head.

I didn't like that they "grew better," tbh. I liked them the way they were when I met them.

 

Yes, this is a 4 hour long review of a hotel that's already closed.

 

For context, Extended Information is a mod that shows hit chance popups for every shot, like the older Perfect Information, which (when it works) helps you develop a better sense of how much risk you're really incurring from enemy shots.

I've got a long and complicated mod list which is mostly (but not entirely) cribbed from ChristopherOdd's last Youtube playthrough, and I've noticed that the percentages EI displays, especially for enemy shots, are wrong. The most obvious evidence is that they frequently miss shots that EI displayed as 100%, but it will also show absurd numbers like 89% chance to hit by a basic trooper against a target in full cover while the shooter is wounded, and they'll usually also miss.

I think the problem is with shots that are modified by certain other mods, and I currently suspect EU Aim Rolls (which separates hit, crit, and dodge into separate rolls, as well as offering some specific tweaks) and Complicated Red Fog (which applies penalties to aim and other stats based on missing health).

There is a link in the Steam workshop page to a Discord server where supposedly the mod developer posted an experimental, updated version that solved some of this (at least with regard to EU Aim Rolls), but that link is now defunct (either the server no longer exists or it's private). Does anyone happen to have that version and be willing to share it, or know of another, more compatible mod?

Edit: For now I have disabled EI and I'm using EU Aim Rolls' built-in stat reporting. It isn't as nice, because it's just plain text on the right side of the screen instead of a color-coded popup over the shooter, and it doesn't have some of the extra info on the HUD that EI provides, but it does appear to be right, which is a good start!
