Babel - Why read a book about politics and then complain that the politics is heavy-handed?
2024.11.27 17:30 TumblrIsTheBest Babel - Why read a book about politics and then complain that the politics is heavy-handed?
I finished reading Babel by RF Kuang a few weeks ago. I enjoyed it but agree it had its flaws. However, whilst I agree with most of the criticism, I don't understand why people are complaining about the political aspects being heavy handed.
Like... it's a book about a Chinese orphan in England during the 1800's. I'd be concerned if the book wasn't political? The blurb literally says "Can a student stand against an empire?" so it's not exactly trying to hide it. Am I going crazy because I think there's plenty to criticise but I genuinely don't see how the politics being such a heavy part of the story is an issue?

2024.11.27 17:30 Adripthereal 23F changed her mind about me 21M? She likes me but doesn’t want to “break our bound”?
Monday I confessed my feelings. She said she felt the same but that she needed time. She showed me proof, this girl really liked me like A LOT.
We ended up cuddling and she said “a connection like this won’t happen twice in a lifetime”, “I have a lot of problems and insecurities right now and I don’t want them to affect you”, “you shouldn’t wait for me, keep living your life”, “A relationship should start with friendship”, etc.
Next day I asked her which terms we were on and her answer changed, according to what I understood, from “maybe someday” to a “it will never happen” kind if response. After I was direct and sincere, I asked her why. Her main arguments were: - “Relationships usually break friendships” - “I’ve lost a lot of friends by not being sure” - “In my last relationship I had yo teach my ex how to be in one, that was something that hurt me” - “I don’t want nobody to have to wait for anything” - “Let’s just be friends”
I really really love her in a way I have never felt for no-one. I wish I could even keep the friendship as it was, but I don’t think I can. This hurt me a lot. The previous day we were cuddling, I thought I had won in life. I told her to tell me when she was sure about her decision, but I don’t know what to do or say. Should I even trust to influence her choice? Should I act a certain way once she says a definitive no? Can I be her friend in the same way when our “friendship” dynamic was based on a romantic interest (mutual)?
I don’t think I’ll be able to pay as much attention to her, remember the details about her life and make time for her anymore.
I understand what she means, but it also feels like a way of killing both a romantic relationship and a friendship at the same time.

2024.11.27 17:30 Nyther53 What are the rules for refitting Captured Ships?
I can't quite figure out the underlying logic.
As Germany, 1947's rolled around and I'm on top of the world, but while I can refit the Bretagne and Courbet and all the ships I've taken from France, if I try to make a design for the KGVs or New York using the same method the Naval XP dissapears into the ether and I get no working design. I'm not sure what the difference is between the ships I've captured from France and the ship's I've captured from the UK.
Does anyone know? Is it because there's still a puppeted France? I feel like that can't be it, because ENG still exists and they're a puppet of one of my faction members. To try and test I used console commands to transfer them to be my puppet and still couldn't edit any of the UK designs, despite them being country tag ENG under the hood. I've also got a puppeted USA, but they've produces a numbered "d06" tag, so thats a confounding variable as well.
Does anyone know if this is a bug, or if its all consistent and I've simply missed the deciding factors?

2024.11.27 17:30 Carboniac How do you feel about the disc storage in these boxes?
 | Personally I'm a bit concerned about the sleeves and disc scratching when putting the discs in and out of them. So I placed them in plastic sleeves instead, stored in between the pages in the disc "book". Thoughts? submitted by Carboniac to boutiquebluray [link] [comments] |

2024.11.27 17:30 PleiadesMoron Fico em empresa pequena e estável ou vou pra startup de ritmo pesado com mais potencial?
Possuo um emprego hoje em uma empresa pequena no interior de São Paulo, uma consultoria de sucesso moderado com coisa de 50 devs no total, ritmo tranquilo e fácil de equilibrar. Gosto muito daqui e do time, alcancei cargo de pleno porém o salário é definitivamente muito abaixo do mercado, especialmente estando em SP, e sei que não existe muito futuro continuar aqui, apesar que definitivamente tenho um pouco a mais a crescer dentro da empresa. Tenho 2 anos e meio de carreira e este é meu primeiro e único emprego na área.
Tive sucesso com o processo admissional pra uma empresa de SP (que começa com T e termina com ractian), porém quanto mais pesquiso sobre mais com o pé atrás eu fico. Por um lado possui unidades em outros países, claramente está se dando bem no mercado e promete crescimento grande (além de aparentemente ter o selo great place to work), porém também há muitos relatos de ritmo muito pesado, demanda grande e muita cobrança.
O que vocês fariam? Vale a pena entrar de cabeça no mercado e encarar uma startup? Mesmo com o salário menor, um ritmo de trabalho confortável é sempre a melhor opção? Seria a tractian realmente tão ruim quanto fazem parecer, ou é apenas um ritmo de qualquer outra empresa grande?

2024.11.27 17:30 Suitable-Mail-1989 How to add static routing rules to Cox CGM4140COM ?
Hi everyone,
Currently, I'm using Cox CGM4140COM with hardware revision 2.2. Now, I want to add the static routing rule to the Cox router, but I don't know how to do it. Please help me!
Btw, is it not worth the price? I see that the router has a processor speed is 1503MHz, DRAM Total Memory 1024MB, too powerful than my Mikrotik 760IGS. Thanks,
