| streamofthesky 09/15/17 5:28:14 PM #31 | Well, good job... I found Pre-Calc to be harder than Calculus I, in fact. (But Calc II takes the crown for difficulty). Melon_Master posted... RCtheWSBC posted...I took pre-calculus in high school Same. But it came after Algebra II (that was its own class) and more than anything was Trigonometry and limit theory. So maybe ico's class isn't the same thing? |

Save points can be ok if they're frequent / not much distance between each, but the above is preferred. I hate autosave only. Passwords is an outdated method. No saving is a complete non-starter unless the game's so short it's unnecessary. |

| Topic | In your opinion were most of the 9/11 terrorists "insane?" |
| streamofthesky 09/11/17 6:15:03 PM #12 | Insane by what standard? To me, anyone who fervently believes in an organized religion is insane, so yes. But many people not only disagree with that sentiment, but will be triggered just by being "assaulted" by having to experience my conflicting viewpoint. If you think believing in sky fairies is sane, there's absolutely nothing insane about what they did. They waged jihad and are going to heaven to collect their six dozen virgins, says so right there in their book of fables...I mean...facts. CedarPointcp posted... i heard that a small percentage of them were just very mad at america's policies and really didn't believe that stuff, not sure if it's true or not. If they willingly committed themselves to years of preparation and training just to die in a violent flaming explosion due to disgruntlement with our foreign policy and WEREN'T expecting rewards in the after life, then they're even more insane. |

| streamofthesky 09/08/17 1:33:00 PM #5 | Don't feel like clicking the link (I'm careful about what goes into my browsing history)... But just going by the title, other than "suggesting masturbation is always a no-no" puritanical mindset that dominates America, I don't see what's so bad here? Doesn't sound like they're blaming the victims, and even if potential predators jerking off doesn't do anything to lower the amount of assaults, it's not like it's going to make it worse, either... Seems like a pointless thing to have a controversy over. *I get moderated when I use the "R-word", in any context, because this site is fucking stupid |

| Topic | Why did mongols stomped knights if Knights had better armor? |
| streamofthesky 09/07/17 1:40:21 PM #32 | Noop_Noop posted... when ghengis khan attacked europe, it was unlikely the entire continent could have feilded more than ~15-20000 knights The Mongol army in that time was seldom that large, partly because they were waging wars on multiple fronts simultaneously, or at least leaving small forces to "maintain pressure" while focusing on one front before returning later. Numbers wouldn't have mattered anyway, Genghis Khan was outnumbered in nearly every battle (and when he wasn't, it was usually a siege, where typically you need far more attackers than defenders to overtake a walled castle/city) and still rolfstomped. |

| streamofthesky 09/07/17 1:20:26 PM #30 | Babbit55 posted... However when they changed tact and utilised Heavy cavalry the Mongol invasion was pretty much halted. they did not get that far into Europe though remember, they got as far as Poland (Still respectable though!) Over time, the Mongol hordes became less effective, if you want to look well past Genghis and Ogedai Khan. But for decades, the only thing saving European areas from the Mongols was sheer distance away and the Mongols withdrawing after a raid or death of the Khan. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mongol_invasion_of_Europe#European_tactics_against_Mongols The New Encyclopædia Britannica, Volume 29 says that "Employed against the Mongol invaders of Europe, knightly warfare failed even more disastrously for the Poles at the Battle of Legnica and the Hungarians at the Battle of Mohi in 1241. Feudal Europe was saved from sharing the fate of China and Muscovy not by its tactical prowess but by the unexpected death of the Mongols' supreme ruler, Ögedei, and the subsequent eastward retreat of his armies." Babbit55 posted... darkknight109 posted...Another aspect worth noting about European armour at the time is that middle-ages metallurgy was kind of shit compared to what we know today. Their steel was of awful quality, so it tended to be weak and brittle - much easier to puncture with an arrow than the steel of today. More specifically, the bodkin arrow heads. But yes, the Battle of Agincourt was glorious (wide open, muddy fields helped, too). |

| streamofthesky 09/05/17 6:18:37 PM #8 | LtCommanderData posted... streamofthesky posted... Yes, logistics were also a big advantage for the Mongols. They were also the first army to make major use of psychological warfare and spying. They'd intentionally let wild rumors that exaggerate their cruelty to those who opposed them spread in order to shake their enemies and get some groups to surrender without a fight or have some soldiers flee rather than fight. It's hard to briefly summarize all the ways the Mongol army was just superior to anything else at the time, they really thought about every aspect of war and innovated it in some way. It's why Genghis Khan will always be the most impressive historical figure to me, when you combine all the civil and social reforms and advancements he also made for his people. |
| Topic | Why did mongols stomped knights if Knights had better armor? |
| streamofthesky 09/05/17 6:03:33 PM #3 | DrChocolate posted... So every place I read says that Mongols were much better fighters and stomped European knights, but if the knights were also trained warriors and had better armos it's hard to believe mongols were that much better. Better weapons, tactics, mobility and speed, battlefield experience...pretty much literally every other factor other than armor? Even the armor advantage is questionable. Mongol composite bows were top weapons of their time and could (not 100%, but often enough for it to matter) punch through the knights' armor, or at least the barding of their steeds. At that point, the armor's just a plate of metal making it harder to get the arrow out from the wound. Meanwhile, Mongols had light armor, but wore silk underneath specifically because it wouldn't break from the point of an arrow, making it much easier to deal with injuries from enemy missile fire. The Mongols weren't even the first prolific cavalry archers to WTF-PWN heavily armored mounted European warriors. Read about the Parthians and the "Parthian Shot" (later becoming "parting shot") and what they did to the Romans at Carrhae with it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Carrhae That same tactic was bread and butter for the Mongols with their "feigned retreat" and the knights fell into the trap just as readily as the Romans before them. |

| streamofthesky 09/04/17 2:41:06 AM #8 | Some GOP lawmakers urged him to change his mind on DACA and even Paul Ryan suggested he not end it. He said "These are kids who know no other country, who are brought here by their parents and don't know another home. And so i really do believe there needs to be a legislative solution" Seems to me like it's better to let these kids be with their families, since they're still kids and all. ...We did deport their parents, right? Like, if the parents and kids both entered illegally and the kids were only still here because of a program set up just for them, the parents should already be gone, correct? |

| streamofthesky 09/03/17 11:45:42 AM #12 | You work Mon - Fri, right? Basically, you have weekends, holidays, and vacation time you don't use on actually taking trips (nothing wrong with a few sporadic days of "stay-cation"). I have just a 40 hour work week, so I can find time some nights during the work week, too, sounds like you have slightly longer hours. Really sucks because JRPGs are my favorite genre, and they take so long to play through, including long stretches in one sitting to get through a dungeon or something. I have absolutely zero tolerance for level grinding now, and avoid games that require it to defeat bosses or move on. |
| Topic | Do you think the officer in that utah nurse case should be fired? |
| streamofthesky 09/02/17 1:55:55 PM #11 | He should be fired, tried for assault, and sent to jail. The supervisor that told him not to take no for an answer and probably could have fucking googled the laws for taking blood samples should be fired and sent to jail as well. Instead, the cop will probably get a promotion or at worst just get shifted to another department, and the only restitution the nurse will get isn't justice on those who so flagrantly broke the law, but a cash settlement paid by the taxpayers. |

| Topic | Have you ever gotten a moderation that you thought was completely unfair but.... |
| streamofthesky 08/29/17 2:04:57 AM #14 | Pretty much all of them were bs. One, I called a public figure (not even a fellow user here) a nazi for denying the Holocaust. Apparently insulting public figures (with correct labels) is against the TOS, too. Another time I called a user here a nazi after he said Germany lost its way after WW II. Later in the same topic he ranted about Jews controlling media and accused me of being part of the JIDF (Jewish Internet Defense Force, I had to google it). I'm agnostic, for what it's worth... I got modded for calling him a nazi, none of his posts were ever hit. Then another time I used the mythical bad R-word -- no, not the one you're thinking of...the one that rhymes with "tape" that apparently is not allowed to be uttered despite that never being stated anywhere in TOS before and I avoid using at all now. To describe the excessive phone charges I had to pay for, for very little service in return. Even after linking to a dictionary to prove that the word has more than one fucking meaning (in this case, a financial related meaning) and nothing in my post was in any conceivable way talking about sex, it was still upheld as being "offensive" to victims of "tape." All of those stood. |
