    Medal Masters - Mobile RPG/Collection

    word of warning: you can definitely out-level the pillage matchup scheme. I am at level 47, but I have only one 5 star unit. Everything I'm matched up against is like 5 stars+ with at least 3 awakens. Basically I can't win soulstones, and that prevents me from awakening and evolving. might make...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    That's a sort of rare beetle, isn't it? I love the VW 2.0T VW engine. How do you like the Revo tune? I've got a 2015 GTI and I can't decide on a flash tune or JB1. Will make the jump when it's time to replace the stock tires.

    I''m not nearly so far along, but for pillage is the theory sort of Tank and healer of same color, and then each of the remaining 2 gets a different color?

    math help (logs)

    yeah, it definitely does factor. I think the squared log on the first term can be viewed as the first term of a polynomial to the second power...so i'm going with something like: let ln^2(X) = t^2 let ln(X)^3 = 3t and rewrite: t^2+3t+2=0 (t+1)(t+2)=0 t=-1 or -2 Now I'm wondering...

    math help (logs)

    Not sure how to handle this problem. Any help would be appreciated. ln^2(X) + ln(X)^3 + 2 = 0 In the first term the exponent is with the natural log. In the second term the exponent is with the X value. I know it can be written like this: ln^2(X) + 3ln(X) + 2 = 0 But I don't know...

    Medal Masters - Mobile RPG/Collection

    Are pillage opponents matched by level range? If so, it's definitely possible to outlevel your power, and then you get bad pillage matchups =/ I'm suffering badly now at level 26 with power ratings under 10k. Pillage also charges you to find new opponents, but then sometimes the opponents you...

    Medal Masters - Mobile RPG/Collection

    PM sent. In game name is Sriracha. Currently level 21. Earned about 250 gems so far. Built a third barracks, and did the gacha for 10 units. Three six stars so far -- Loxley, Saint Clemens, and Venus. Everything else is pretty average 5 or 4 star stuff. I've been dismissing anything lower...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    He could definitely get away with it in books. Simple swords and sorcery is the stuff of most fantasy authors.

    Better Call Saul

    My conceit: Kim references Pulp Fiction earlier in the episode. Like Wallace's briefcase, the light switch is Walt's soul. Flipping it triggers Walt's descent and the inexorable meeting of the two characters.

    For the the right lot in an un-populated natural setting, I would definitely consider buying the land and maybe putting up a micro home or some sort of pre-fab cabin. Where you work would probably determine whether or not that's feasible for your primary residence. If you don't mind...

    Car Insurance

    IIRC GEICO uses Progressive and some other companies for different lines and risk groups. For example, my homeowners is arranged through GEICO (this gets me the multi-line discount) but actually underwritten by Travelers. Your renters policy might be working the other way around. Or maybe...

    Yeah, it should be county. I'm just assuming, maybe wrongly, that Texas doesn't offer as many state services so the property (county) taxes are higher to compensate. If that's not the case, Texans need to grab and shake their county governments.

    The consolation in Texas is supposed to be the lack of a state income tax, but I think that's probably more a contributing factor for your property taxes than a mitigating one. So this rental that costs $354 a month in taxes alone, what do the tenants pay for it, and at what point is there...

    Malazan Book Of The Fallen

    Just finished Midnight Tides. It's not bad, but I did not enjoy this book as much as the others. I felt like the story broke the momentum of the other books. I like the idea of the Tiste Edur forgetting their history with the Tiste Andii, but I don't find the Tiste Edur characters very...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Maybe. Nintendo seems to be unfocused: game delays, vague nx details, late to the ap market, weak amiibo support, partners with DeNA, announces tv and film and theme park plans... If Nintendo can't get it together, the Wii U's library wouldn't be the worst swan song.

    It's a regressive tax, and it's a subsidy. It sucks for everyone in the first 3 or 4 income brackets. It's as bad as, or worse than, student loans.

    Weather

    Some of those old snow blowers, like Ariens, are awesome. You can keep them going forever. Some transform into tillers, too. I test-fired mine yesterday. Expecting 1-2' here. Prolly have to do a couple passes.

    Malazan Book Of The Fallen

    Pretty much. About half-way through, or maybe two thirds, it might start to click and become very much worth it. That Gardens was initially written as a screenplay well before any of the others might have something to do with its crudeness. IMO, of the first 5 books, Memories is the only one...

    Malazan Book Of The Fallen

    Neat to know. Deadhouse Gates made me suspect he had some interest in archaeology with every mention of potsherds. Memories' detailed description of the T'lan Imass crafting Toc the Younger's projectile points and blades pretty much confirmed it. Felt like I was reading an old text book for a...

    Fair enough. I'm already a douche for the suggestions =p Sorry bout that. Just excited to see someone making something and eager to critique. One last thought then: see if the diagonal double doors for the bedroom and study can be done as pocket doors.

    Love that you designed it yourself. Love the relatively small footprint. My house is a raised rancher, and I like efficient interesting spaces. Not fond of the master bath being adjacent to kitchen, utility (presumably laundry), and garage. All of those can be loud and/or smelly spaces...

    Malazan Book Of The Fallen

    I think the gender of the Tiste Andii Orfantal changes between books 1 and 3. The female gender in book 1 is a mistake. Just finished book three. Loved it very much. Erikson writes such intricate stories and still manages to wrap them all together for great endings. Chains is good so far...

    The Revenant (2015)

    I think putting cinematography before story left it a bit of a dud. And in the story that remains, what was true and impressive (why would they leave out the bear skin back???) gets cut out for dramatic embellishments (the murder of the son). That's mistake number 2. Hollywood has a...

    Would you go so far as to say that Amberle's portrayal iswooden? I can see what you're noticing, but just don't take it so seriously and accept that it's Shannara reinvented for whatever MTV's audience is. I'd be glad to see the Belgariad in serial form. There are stronger albeit cliche...

    The Shannara Chronicles

    I think the show's makers know what the show is, and that will prevent it from being bad. My proof: The quick pacing is a good idea for dense material that requires suspension of disbelief. I hope they keep it up. I like Eretria. She's already better than any of the casted Sand Snakes of...

    Completed the main story line a few days ago. I really like the conclusion (or lack thereof). Mira and Xenoblade seem like a pretty good prelude to an MMO.
