[@williamduan2322]

@@retarepo oh, it's spelt 恶火, and the first character means literally means evil, the second one fire loool. So yeah, I'd say it was a pretty good English to Chinese translation (especially since Hell, translated literally into Chinese, is a two-character word, and not nearly as catchy), and a totally sensible Chinese to English translation from Google. Same with creep tumor, which is translated into 菌(bacteria, fungal, etc)毯(carpet)瘤(tumor), and hence the fungal carpet tumor lol。

@@KenjaTimu China Black powder (or gunpowder) was invented in China during the 9th century; these inventions were later transmitted to the Middle East and Europe. The direct ancestor of the firearm is the fire lance. The prototype of the fire lance was invented in China during the 10th century and is the predecessor of all firearms. Don't know where you got that but China definitely made weapons with their gun powder..

There are some actually great life lessons to those actually listening. A Bad result doesn't mean it was a bad decision, it is possible you got unlucky. Similarly a good result doesn't mean it was necessarily a good action. Maybe you bet 1-1000 on something and just got plain lucky.

Hospital 15km from the city center? That's kinda what we have no in the german town I live in, for they shut down the ones in the city center to relocate everything to the new big thing out at the far edge of the city. My hometown has a similar issue, where the main hospital for the entire region, not just county, is not even in that big hometown, but some village in bumfuck nowhere 5km from the town's edge. However, the road to the cemetery that is still in the town is well organized: stonemason, old people's home, flower shop, bus stop, crematorium, cemetery. It's almost a production line.

on survivor bias - there is a classic example from WW2, where the brits found that their planes after returning from bombing missions had almost no hits to the armored front of the plane and lots of hits on the wings, so they asked their engineers and mathematicians whether they should armor the wings instead, since the front is barely getting hit the answer they got was to armor the front where the engine is... because they were looking at the planes that came back... planes that were hit where the engine or pilot are...do not tend to come back to be examined

The weird part is, most of the major fights he lost were off creep. His army could have been in better positions, but I have to ask. Why scan to remove creep tumors? Wouldn't that energy be better suited to dropping a mule and using a Raven instead? Scans are stationary and you'll usually only get 3 tumors at a time. With good control, you could like clear 10+ tumors and have other utility.
