Well... yeah. But maybe not politics from decades ago? Or at least only inasmuch as there some significant connection between back then and now. Not political history thread, y'know? Unless FJ changes the title, anyway.

... it would be mildly pleasing if both chomsky and more or less irrelevant (to current politics) history would both bugger off for another thread.

... y'know, that unveiled thing. It made me realize that that gundam. It looks like an apple product :-\

I'm guessing someone's made the joke that G-Self = iGundam already. Because in retrospect that is entirely too there to have been coincidental.

Nah, thermal paste is what keeps your CPU from igniting. Heat dissipation... salve, more or less. Paste. It's paste that keeps things from catching on fire. Very useful.

Aww. I would have been considerably more amused if it had be explicitly literal. Curse all Zelretches!

... I can't help but think that if the Q is being used for waveclear something terrible has happened >_> Cleanup after a W (which is, at least, cheaper and faster now), maybe, but...

It also has a higher CD and is significantly easier to, y'know, screw up, get blocked, etc. Conceptually it can be used to farm up AP faster, but that's in exchange for a higher skill cap, a notable increase of creep management to be able to maximize its use, and an uptick in the enemy's ability to interfere. It's... not a favorable trade, imo.

... those huge grey boxes with "Plug-in Disabled" in the middle is indeed off-putting. There's so many of them, all disabled...

Have a video? No clue what/if the person recording it is saying -- I watched it muted up 'till about the half-way mark.

It's not notably fast, though. I'd probably say around whatever the average for skillshots is.

... and as noted, the teamfight presence is almost certainly going to be worse. A CD reduction doesn't really make up for the E being gutted, the Q being dodgable/blockable, and the R's primary scaling being cut by a 1/6th.

Regardless of age, your first time doing a toilet should be remembered and celebrated.

I must have missed that the last time I was paying attention, or forgot in the interim. Thanks.

I think we've adequately proven that you can't disprove science by using slightly less reliable science.
You might be able to discredit or obfuscate it with slightly less reliable science. YEC is entirely unreliable non-science, though, so it doesn't particularly manage that.

E: Though that's perhaps too inclined towards snark to be appropriate. I've got a decent answer and will drop the line of discussion unless something constructive can be added.

Speaking of that, has the state of young earth creationism changed much in the last little bit? Last I was paying attention, fossil record was either a test of faith, or they spent their time trying to discredit carbon dating (ignoring, of course, that carbon dating is something like one of a few dozen different means of dating ancient materials). Anyone aware of any new developments, or further development of old ones?

Watching it without sound, all I could think is that it was strangely sensual. I kept expecting them to suddenly embrace.

I didn't want to actually see that, but it kept looking like it was en route.

Was thinking the CD drop more than the mana. Everything 'cept the Q can get put out a lil'bit more often, which is something with more oomph than mana cost reductions.

Though I guess being able to put out Dark Matter more often is fairly pointless, since it wave-cleared fine as is, iirc. Shorter cooldown on the E just means they dodge it slightly more. The R's mildly quicker, which is something, but maybe not 1/6th-scale-reduction quicker >_>

... yeah, silver lining or not that's still pretty shitty.

Heh, quicklike popped up a video of veig from the PBE. That reworked E... is there anything in the game more telegraphed than that?

Cheaper/quicker W is more interesting. Looking at the Q being used is... a thing. I mean, on one hand, blocked shots, missed shots, can be dodged, etc. On the other hand, someone really on the ball could conceptually farm AP twice as hard. You just have to kill two creeps with every shot. yeah, that's not going to happen

Being spammier than before is mildly interesting, I guess. The E is now kinda' useless and the Q and R less dangerous, but... at least you can use most of them more often?
