Not necessarily. Plate armor would slow an arrow significantly but not necessarily prevent penetration, depending on the arrow's velocity. Primary advantage of plate mail versus arrows is that it and the padding beneath would absorb enough of the impact to lessen penetration into the torso, as well as possibly…

Arrows wouldn't really be redirected in that manner. A straight-on shot would likely penetrate where it hit, deflection in any direction would most likely prevent penetration into the armor. The big worry would be bladed weapons being redirected towards center of mass, or crushing weapons driving the center into or…

I meant more in a general sense, since while the response here has been sympathetic it'd be easier to rally a lot of the general public against policies like this by pointing out the danger to them than it would be to make it about her.

Not sure how much sympathy most people might have for her, despite that she clearly deserves sympathy, but maybe it needs to be shouted far and wide that Subway's policy is apparently to put all of their customers at risk of serious illness just to keep their employees slaving away.

Evil, meet sword! Sword, meet EVIL!

I'm not sure to what extent they're related, if they're along the same spectrum or affecting completely different parts of the brain, it may be that they're functionally related. What I've found says that there's a lot of variety in how it manifests, some people just have slight trouble reading numbers, others have…

Just got finished playing through this, and thought it was...good. Not amazing, but enjoyable. The combat could have been tighter, and I wasn't a fan of the switch to vertical instead of gridded challenges, but the story was much more coherent than City while still keeping a more open feel to where you could explore.

Link him to some of the sites that discuss it, if you haven't already. Easier when you have documentation.

My family turns to me for all sorts of trivia, political discourse, philosophizing, etc.

My spatial is pretty good, but I have to use other things/people to track time and days.

I don't know if a particular test would pick it up, what I've been able to find says that there's a variety of symptoms that may be signs of it. I actually hadn't even realized until doing a bit more research that my difficulties with processing what people are saying to me were related to it, I've just always had to…

Dyscalculia is a thing that exists, though I'm unsure exactly how it relates to dyslexia. Very intelligent people can have endless trouble with numbers because the brain refuses to read them properly. So someone like yourself can be perfectly bright and still have trouble counting back change. Personally, I can't read…

When I was in high school, Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots was new and it was interesting and different and the Flaming Lips were hella cool (California kid), the most original band ever!

Evangelism is this weird thing where people want to act like it's traditional, like it's always been around, but it is as you say specifically a political movement, birthed from an explicit worry that a science and reason-based society would shift sharply away from religious morality. It is quite literally a…

Thanks for the reminder of how ugly stock UI in WoW is.

"Heh heh heh...."

I went from laughing out loud at the "fake geek guy" part to almost weeping at how completely broken Tina was about Roland. Such a perfect addition to the game.
