Less competition. People were taking a risk so they could be seen more easily unlike Twitch where they would have been drowned out by everyone else.

"Seen more easily" by being on the Ninja and..... platform?

I guess, but trying to go for the path of least resistance and least opportunity for meaningful success seems like a pretty weak lower middle of the road move that would've never worked out longterm to begin with.

if streaming is your job why pick off-brand streaming sites like "literally who" mixer instead of just twitch.

This. I don't watch streams and don't care at all about that ecosystem, but even I knew that Mixer was a shallow puddle compared to Twitch. Voluntarily trying to build your career there is like trying to build a broadcasting brand on TruTV. Fucking why?

Operation Unthinkable is an interesting idea. What if the Western Allies and Germany joined up to attack the Soviet Union at the end of World War II? The Allies would have atomic bombs to drop on Moscow instead of Japan.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Unthinkable

We had maybe a dozen nukes by the end of 1945 and the core of the Soviet Union was outside our bomber range. They had the largest land army in human history and basically complete control over all of Eastern Europe and the Balkans. We would've been screwed in that situation.

The planners codenamed it "Unthinkable" for a reason, it as a no-win scenario for the Western Allies.

Your example of voter fraud is.... something that isn't voter fraud? Good one.

And ballot errors are a good reason why we should have funding to get this done as soon and early as possible via a mail-in election, so that there is time to rectify any mistakes that are possible in any election.

---

Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less.

No, there's never been any evidence that voting by mail leads to any noticeable increase in voter fraud.

I think Hearts of Iron 4 has proven that the cause for Germans defeat was waiting too long to declare war. Start off against France or Netherlands and Poland in 1936 and you can get away with it. Germanys problem was it chose Czechoslovakia as its freebie. Should have gone after a bigger prize earlier.

Then should have started making a lot of fighters and close air support. Maybe naval bombers too. And build as many cheap submarines with big torpedos as you can. Gain naval superiority in the channel through air superiority.

Not even remotely. The Germans weren't nearly ready for a conflict that early. Hitler feared during the remilitarization of Rhineland that the French would invade, at which point the Nazi regime would've been shattered as they did not have their infrastructure or military built up to fight a modern war. It was a giant bluff that the French just didn't call.

The Germans didn't invade Poland until 1939, the French and the others until 1940, and the USSR until 1941 because from every logistical standpoint they weren't ready until then (and for the latter, they honestly weren't ready even then).

The Soviets needed American resources at one point just as badly as the UK and French resistance. Don't discount the power of untouchable factories.

American resources were vital, but the biggest chain of factories in the world existed in the Ural Mountians as the war raged on, well outside the range of German bombers or armies. The Soviets built most of their stuff, even if they were very reliant upon American/British support economically, and they bore the vast brunt of the conflict.

---

Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less.

They weren't able to. Sure, they held off the Luftwaffe during the Battle of Britain, very impressive. But the Soviets were the ones that won the European War, with American manpower and resources being a distant, though important, second while the Brits were third and honestly more important as effectively the staging grounds to Normandy.

Its not though. It derived from a french word esquimaux which means to net snow shoes or a person who nets snow shoes.

Its not their name for themselves and its not like every single inuit / northern indigenous person makes snow shoes.

Its the same thing an indian vs native kinda. One is incorrect and not indicative of the people hisory.

As best as I know, it's akin to calling all East Asians "Chinamen." Not only are not all East Asians from China, but even the ones from China have different preferred nomenclature.

Also, friendly reminder for other widely used terms that are actually offensive... "gypsy" is a derogatory term for the Roma. And saying someone gyped you likewise offensive.

The motion control shrines are my only knock on it.

99/100 score for me.

Oh fuck, I blocked that from my mind.

Yes, the motion control puzzle segments are godawful. Thankfully they are very few and far between.

My biggest concern for BotW2 is that they'll double down on that....

To the game's credit though, you can cheese almost any of them by just imagining you're in the situation IRL. Annoying rotating water cube thing? Fire arrows and skip

Bad criticism: People get overly attached to weapons despite thst fact that they're meant to be used and you will find more good weapons. Thereby they hoarde and ruin the core gameplay loop by their own volition.

Valid criticism: While there are loads of puzzle solving, the breakdown into shrines and samey divine beasts results in not really having memorable dungeoneering compared to past games in the series. Enemies are fantastic and defined, but with a disappointing lack of variety. The upgrade system for armor is also pretty vanilla without any depth and needlessly prolonged (as in the process of upgrading each item, one at a time, one upgrade at a time, each with a semi-skippable cutscene).

What kind of numbers do the GOP need to add justices?

Just enough votes in the senate to get nominees on the court, the current number of Supreme Court justices isn't mandated by the Constitution. The last time a president tried to do that though was FDR and he faced enormous backlash. It's also a Pandora's box as both sides know that if either try to stuff the courts the next president from the other party will add on to that with even more justices.

Edit: I double checked, 9 is due to an actual law, so the House would have to go along with it as well to increase the size of the court, which would never happen.
