The last wall shows all of the main cast's faces, not just Tyrion's.

PayPal's pretty chill about reversing orders, which is good. Just make a fuss about how it wasn't authorized and you're concerned your information being leaked was a result of their poor security if you want to be sure it'll get done fast.

Also, $550 in anime? Why?

(URL)Monetary policy has longer-lasting, but delayed, effects on financial stability when compared with macroprudential policy (regulation).(URL)


Quote
The Global Financial Crisis has reopened discussions on the role of the monetary policy in preserving financial stability. Determining whether monetary policy affects financial variables domestically—especially compared to the effects of macroprudential policies— and across borders, is crucial in this context. This paper looks into these issues using U.S. exogenous monetary policy shocks and macroprudential policy measures. Estimates indicate that monetary policy shocks have significant and persistent effects on financial conditions and can attenuate long-term financial instability. In contrast, the impact of macroprudential policy measures is generally more immediate but shorter-lasting. Also, while an exogenous increase in U.S. monetary policy rates tends to reduce credit and house prices in other countries—with the effects varying with country-specific characteristics—an increase driven by improved U.S. economic conditions tends to have the opposite effect. Finally, we do not find evidence of cross-border spillover effects associated with U.S. macroprudential policies.

This is the guy who was pissed because gays can marry now.

His opposition was to the Supreme Court effectively writing legislation, co-opting the democratic process for the sake of a popular decision rather than a constitutional one. His issue was with the means rather than the end. Being angry about the Supreme Court decision is not at all tantamount to being homophobic.

He clearly pronounces it as 'meelee', leading to the confusion.

So I completely suck at this. Do I just keep doing station missions until I get the hang of things? I've seen guides talking about going around and scanning signals, but I don't have a clue how to scan something, let alone how to actually navigate in supercruise without blowing past my target.
There are tutorials online if you know where to look. Missions from the bulletin board honestly suck for early-game cashola (even though they totally shouldn't).


Any tutorial in particular you can recommend? I have one up now and it basically starts by saying "go scan signals in nearby systems and sell the data every hour, and at 20k buy a mining laser and mine stuff". I don't even know how to scan signals or sell data. Whenever I get close to a signal in supercruise, I blow right past it, and if I drop to sublight it's too far away.

Just downloaded it and started the tutorials. The controls are insane...having roll tied to your mouse is stupid as hell.

K&M controls are piss, plug in a xbox controller if you don't have a flight stick.

Do you do the weird keyboard/controller combo? How do you manage to map all the keys to just a controller?
Set your Mouse X-axis to Yaw and keep Mouse Y-axis as-is. Bind A to Roll Left and D to Roll Right.

This is pretty much the optimal KB/M setup AFAIK. Just makes it so mouse movement controls pretty much the way it would in an FPS and A+D for Roll is a lot better. Be sure to set a bit of a deadzone too so you're not constantly drifting.

That's what I've got now. The final training mission is kicking my ass. Is the best way to turn around to roll and reverse thrust?

When tied to rewards or chance of an action succeeding, it's almost always awful.

OK I knew Kanye was absolutely full of himself to the highest possible degree, but this....this shit....oh my god, this guy. Can anyone, ANYONE possibly be any more of a narcissist? This shit is a mental disorder at this point. Someone please get this guy to a shrink.

The game's not even about him, though.

3257
Sales, accounting, middle management, etc. You're not going to get 40k/y starting with no experience in a field unrelated to your degree, but you'll have insurance, social security, and retirement going.

Ability to inspire the populace and socialize in a diplomatic setting is incredibly important for the presidency.

But I agree the superficial attacks during elections are unnecessary and inappropriate.

Why does everyone always hate the lead female character?

Like, in general? Or for this show? It's probably because she's a backstabbing asshole.
Just something I've noticed with almost all the shows I've watched.
>Skylar
>Daenerys
>Lori Grimes
>Kate Austen
All these characters are basically universally hated by the online community. I can see where they're coming from with most of them but I don't really understand it with Claire. If she's a backstabbing asshole then what does that make Frank?

Nobody hates Daenerys. As for everyone else you listed, they're counterparts to the antihero protagonist. You're not supposed to like them; but yeah, it's a common archetype.

If they co-opted far left social policy in full, would they even be conservatives anymore?

Because acceptance of same-sex marriage isn't far-left, it's a fairly moderate position, and there are far more consequential issues in the political spectrum than that.

Fiorina would've been a great candidate if she could get past a couple far-right social policies that most conservatives have gotten over already.

Nothing wrong with having the mentality of a high schooler. Real life is exactly like high school.

But it isn't, though.
