To create a CA account

When one does start a monster hunter account, one can add attack and defence, just note my recommendation - first goal: 300 stamina and defence, second goal: 600 stamina and defence. Or in any case, equal.

Why those numbers? If one has 288 of both resources, it takes 24 hours to grow back. If one has 576, it takes 48 hours, so one can be away for two days and not waste anything. And round numbers are just cooler. If one's monster hunter account is not specific to defence or attack, equal amounts rule. If one has 100 stamina and 400 energy, one's stamina refills in 8 hours 20 minutes, but one's energy is only 25% refilled, and it looks horrible. And if one is away 33 hours 20 minutes, one's energy has refilled, but one has wasted stamina.

And one can be given a link which gives one 20 FPs as a welcome gift. One has 20 FPs at the start, and another 20 makes one have 40 FPs. However, it is recommended to start thinking about refills when one has 200+ resources, otherwise it feels like a waste. I mean refill 48 stamina - can't one just wait 4 hours? One sleeps longer than that, so it's like paying for stuff one would get free during the night. Yes, it is true that any amount of stamina is free if one is patient enough, but monsters do not flee in four to ten hours, but they do in four to ten days.

With 40 FPs at the start, one is wiser to buy a monthly of one's choice. I consider the following useful:

Scarlett: 6% income boost (Mercedes has 5%, but the larger the income, the valuable the 1%)

Solara: transfers 20% max energy to max stamina on skillpoint value (2 energy for 1 stamina)

Godric: +20 max energy

Barbarus: threefold hits (both attacks and defendings use 3x the resource, and hit 3x as hard)

Maalvus: Same power as Barbarus, but with +3% critical

Deshara: +40 additional damage as rogue upon guild victory

Critical boosting generals are junk. All general have base critical of 10%, and generals with player attack bonus seem to increase that.

Facebook is more important than gravity

A new study in the UK has just revealed that six out of every ten British youths ranks the invention of Facebook more important than the apple-induced revelation by Sir Isaac Newton in the 17th century.

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg beat loads of other world changers like Martin Luther King Jr. and Albert Einstein in the poll which surveyed 1,000 Brits under the age of 25. The only person to top the young billionaire was fellow tech tycoon Bill Gates whose 11.4% of the vote edged out Zuck’s 9.1%.

Inconviniences in Facebook

Facebook has a habit to put "#!" at the end of URLs, so facebook.com/contentyouneed ends up being facebook.com/blahblahblah#!/contentyouneed. More often than never, it actually prevents you from seeing the content you need, and often manually deleting "blahblahblah#!" helps. Sadly, not always, so you end up knowing someone commented your post, you keep clicking that notification, even go to your profile, still you can't see it.

And if you do not like the new theatre viewing of photos, you need to delete "&theatre". It is annoying when all of a sudden you have a big black square in your screen, at least for me. And if the attempt was to create some sort of fullscreen mode, sorry, it goes only as wide as Facebook main frame goes. Is it like 800 pixels? My screen has 1920 in width, so it looks ugly. Theatre mode should go as wide as user's resolution, and it should be optional, not mandatory.

To illustrate both cases, here's an URL:

http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_203531063007095&id=204718789554989¬if_t=like#!/photo.php?fbid=1251688946308&set=a.1251685266216.31247.1652061947&theater

See? And that "set=blahblahblah" is not really needed either, so the above URL can be shortened to this:

Ma ei huvitu poliitikast. Aga ma olen kuulnud, et Savisaar on paha-paha. Arvan, et inimesi, kes identifitseeruvad antud posti kahe esimese lausega, on küllalt. Siiski, ma ei luba endal laskuda nõnda madalale, et ilma midagi teadmata hakata kuulutama, et Savisaar on pede. Jah, oma silmaga näinud, et keegi just nii ütleb.

Oma väheste teadmistega oman Savisaarest pisut põhjendatult negatiivset arvamust. Kui majanduskriis oli popp termin, süüdistas Savisaar ülemaailmses majanduskriisis pisikese Eesti pisikest Ansipit. Ja kuigi tänaseks on ehk inimesed, kes Internetis kolavad, oma hääle juba e-valimistel andnud – mina näiteks olen – toon teieni paar lõiku sellest, mis Savisaar mulle kirjutas. Miks olen Keskerakonna meililistis? Sõber saatis mulle Edgari jõulukaardi, ja ma pole end listist huvi tõttu kustutanud. Mina ei tea täpselt, kes meile kirjutab, kuid alla on kirjutanud Savisaar:

Käisin hiljuti Soomes ja nägin oma silmaga, kui pungil on laevad Eesti inimestest. Enamik neist ei sõida aga ostu- ega puhkusereisile. Inimesed käivad laevaga Soomes tööl, sest kodumaa neid enam ei vaja. /---/ Eesti ajaloos 1944. aasta „Suure põgenemisena tuntud“ sõja jalust lahkumine viis meilt 60-70 tuhat inimest. Praeguste ränkade majanduskriisi aastatega on Eesti kaotanud umbes samas suurusjärgus rahvast. /---/ Ansipi võimu jätkumisel võid olla kindel, et Eesti rahvaarvu langus kiireneb veelgi.

Need kaks lauset ja nende taustalaused panevad mõtlema. Muidugi, jah, Savisaar oskab rahvale ajupesu teha, need argumendid on kergesti usutavad. Kuid siiski, inimesed sõidavad välismaale kas töötama või lausa elama, sest miinimumpalk on seal kõrgem kui meie keskmine palk. Ja see viimane lause – kas Savisaar hakkab lapsi tegema?

Ka teine kiri õhutab neid valima, kuid veelgi loogilisemate argumentidega:

Varem või hiljem peame ikkagi vaatama Eestis valitsevale olukorrale silma ja otsustama koos, mida teha, et oma riik taas õigele teele juhtida. Kui ka Sina usud, et aeg on viimane midagi ette võtta endiselt kõrge tööpuudusega, ülejõu käivate maksude ja hindadega, siis liitu valimistel nendega, kes nõuavad muudatusi.

Ma millegipärast ei usu, et kõik teised erakonnad arvavad, et Eestil läheb erakordselt hästi, ning et las see tööpuudus olla, ega see kedagi ju ometi ei sega.

Minu poliitikakauge arusaam on muide, et jättes kõrvale megaedukad väikeriigid nagu Šveits, on näiteks Ühendriikide hea elu põhjuseks suur territoorium. Kui mingi ettevõte lööb läbi, siis ta lööb kohe väga massiivselt. Tänu hästiarenenud infrastruktuurile transporditakse nänni igale poole laiali, kõigele leidub ostja. Ja kui Eestis on mitmetuhandene tiraaž hea näitaja, siis seal müüakse sama kaupa miljoneis. Ja nemad on olnud iseseisvad kümme korda kauem kui meie. Tänu suurele kasumile saavad nad lubada endale meie silmis ehk mõttetuid töökohti, nagu parkija (pargib autosid), tervitaja (tervitab poodi sisenejaid ja vastab küsimustele) ja kotipoiss (laob ostja kaubad ostukottidesse). Samas on need töökohad siiski inimeste elu hõlbustamiseks, mitte nagu Keskerakonna andeks, kuid mõtlema hakates magedas, reklaamis.

Ja andke andeks, mis lause on Valige Keskerakond ja tööpuudus likvideeritakse? Mis see on nagu N-Liidus väidetavalt oli, et sind suunatakse tööle, tahad või ei taha?

A click to remember

Once upon a time in the 21st century there lived a gorgeous girl. She may, or may not have been under age, that is not important. But on one evening she made an account to Facebook.

She made some new friends, as well as discovered her old schoolmates. Because she was self concious about her beauty, and wanted to share her looks with her friends, who she knew were polite, well behaved, and would not ever comment her pictures with any vulgarity, she posted some mildly revealing pictures of herself. Nothing embarrassing, nothing naughty. Her parents knew about the pictures, they approved.

The girl had just moved to a new town, and wanted to let her friends know. She put her street address on her profile, and some weeks later happened to post a status saying she's sad because she's home alone for two days. In the evening, someone rang the doorbell. The girl ran to answer, hoping that her friends have come to visit her. Shockingly, it was a middle-aged man.

Before the girl could gather herself, the man put a garbage bag over her head, and taped her hands together. Everything was suddenly so dark and scary. The girl was put to the trunk of a car, and they drove what seemed like an eternity. The girl felt so incredibly guilty, as she went through all she could have done to call this horror upon herself. She had been so careful, so neat. She had never stayed out after hours, and she had never even seen a nightclub, or a bar.

When the car stopped, the man came and opened the trunk. The garbage bag was removed, but it did not get much brighter. It was midnight, they were in the woods. The girl took a deep breath, and was going to scream at the top of her lungs. But that didn't happen, because the man taped her mouth, and all the girl could do were muffled sounds, like when you scream into a pillow. The man began tearing her clothes, and revealed a little himself.

The morning came bright and shiny, but not for the girl. Even the headlights of the police cars and ambulance seemed dimmed as a candle behind veil. The girl was given warm clothes, and helped into an ambulance. All the way to the hospital her mum held her hand and talked to he daughter in soothing tones, hoping to get her daughter to make some contact with this world.

Suddenly, the girls eyes opened up wide, and she whispered: "Privacy settings..."
