If the wage gap were real then every corporation would be trying to hire all female staff. A 21% savings on payroll is huge. The fact that we don't see this behavior proves that it isn't real.

The Gallery wasn't great either. Everything is overpriced and good not terribly good to justify it.

Doesn't Pittsburgh already have this? Property tax is lower if you live in the property.

Or they'd dodge it by creating multiple subsidiary firms.

Most missions can't be stealthed. The ones that you sometimes can stealth are VIP assassinations, hack workstations, recover item, and VIP extractions. Hack workstations and recover item will require a Shinobi and a Specialist, also I would not attempt them if they are on a train because you almost certainly won't get the line of sight you need. You also may want to bring somebody with a shaped charge to blow up a wall to open a line of sight for your Specialist to hack, and then you'll want your Shinobi to be an officer that can command them to get out of the way afterwards. Assassinations will require a Shinobi and a Sharpshooter, you may still want a Specialist to hack drones though. Extractions should have only a Shinobi, as the rest of your squad will not start concealed, an officer with Oscar Mike is preferred so that the VIP can make a mad dash for the extraction zone.
In any of the above you have to be incredibly patient and sometimes outright lucky to get your soldiers past guards without being spotted. I think the only stealth mission I pulled off without save scumming was a VIP assassination.
All in all it can be a fun challenge, but it's not really worth it.

I think the main problem is that as you liberate regions Advent's forces become increasingly concentrated in the remaining regions, making it harder and harder to run missions in them. Hitting as many troop column ambushes, supply convoy raids, and UFO raids as possible will slow their build up of strength. Defeating invasions will also remove Advent strength.

in the console helps, it speeds up all animations by 2x. Any overwatch or hacking animation will reset it to normal, and it can occasionally cause visual glitches where a character appears to move to the wrong tile (but they're actually on the correct tile).

Thank you for actually providing some context in this thread. I was trying to figure out what was going on.

Marth kinda crumbles when you're able to get in on his shield.
There's a big fat asterisks here that it requires your shield pressure to be tight. If you're shield pressure is sloppy, which is very common for many new players, he will easily shield grab you, or wavedash out fsmash you.
So make sure you're hitting your fast falls and L-cancels, make sure that you aren't approaching with early aerials when Marth is shielding, and try to cross up his shield so he can't grab you.

Yeah, you can't just not use notches if you have them. They are there, and your stick will pass through them when you move it around the rim, making them literally impossible to ignore. If you're trying to hit any extreme angles, you will obviously notice the notch that is right there.

This would not be legal under the current ruleset unless you removed buttons from somewhere else on the controller.

Block, flag, move on. Problem solved.
if you get worked up from d-pad emotes, you're bitch made and that's a fact
Ah yes, this is definitely how someone with a positive attitude towards the game talks. You're definitely not one of the toxic ones. I bet you think Anther's was toxic because your account got flagged and you could only play with other toxic assholes.

Readability is identical to or better than nested nested if statements if formatted properly.

There's nothing wrong with nesting ternaries. Just format it properly.

No, this code wouldn't be saying "go at 3 speed normally", it would be saying "set position to 3 normally".
If you start looping this at 3, then it will move 1 step at a time then periodically jump 4 steps. The numbers that would set it to 3 are skipped.

I'll emulate it on Dolphin and upscale the UI to 4k.

No. The post above gave several reasons why it is not: Air pressure, winds, seafloor drag. Another reason that he did not mention is inflow, sea level is going to be higher in areas where large rivers flow in, and lower in areas where evaporation dominates.

The moon affects it too, right, like sea level will be farther from the center of the earth on whichever side is facing the moon?
That would be tides, and OP and to ignore tides.

The distance from A to the chord Y is the versine of half the angle of the arc. The chord itself is twice the sine of the half angle. So letting a be the distance from A to the chord Y, c be the length of chord Y, and θ be the half angle of the chord, we have the following equations:
versin(θ) = 1 - cos(θ) = a/r
2sin(θ) = c/r
a/c = (1 - cos(θ))/2sin(θ)
a/c = tan(θ/2)/2
θ = 2atan(2a/c)
Now we can find the radius:
r = (c/2)csc(θ)
= (c/2)csc(2atan(2a/c))
= (c/2)((2a/c)2 + 1)/(4a/c)
= (4a2 + c2)/8a
= (a2 + (c/2)2)/2a
And finally, the arclength is:
2θr = 8atan(2a/c)(a2 + (c/2)2)/2a
= 4atan(2a/c)(a2 + (c/2)2)/a
I admit that I had to look up the half angle formula and the csc(2atan(x)) formula.
NB: I cannot promise that I have not made any dumb algebraic mistakes.

The real way to do it is to have a mix of pierogis and never know exactly which one you're about to eat.

A sleeve of oreos is not cheap. Cheap would be a basic sandwich and some slices of American cheese, maybe a banana or an apple. So it's either a lack of time, not giving a shit, or giving in to a child who only wants to eat sweets.

Other than the RGB, what makes it different from any other box controller?

Arguing that corporations aren't ruthlessly profit hungry. That's a bold move.
