I think I’d only even consider zap dragon if there was an air defense and air sweeper right next to each other so I could take out both at once.

Depending on the base, dragbat scales up a lot more nicely up into even the TH15 meta.

Good Lord you’re right… same picture on Zuckerbook too.

Heh, that’s not a good look for their social media team lol

Recommending a particular strategy is hard, because there isn’t really a single META attack strategy at TH13. You have a lot of options which are good against certain bases and not very good against others, and other options that will always get you two stars on your attacks when executed properly but often don’t go the distance for 3, etc, etc.

At TH13 doing attacks in stages gets even more important - this somewhat starts at TH11 where dropping some troops early will get some damage in before the eagle artillery starts wailing on you, but picks up at TH13 now that the town hall is even stronger with inferno beams and drops a more explosive bomb wjen it dies. You either need to use your warden ability to counter this bomb, or not funnel all your troops straight into the town hall.

Running a side attack while defenses are distracted by the main attack or by a tank starts getting more important too. Scattershots can completely wreck certain armies, and it makes a lot of sense to distract their attention away from certain group of troops while they’re approaching. Yeah yeah, you can use a freeze spell for this too or use an invisibility spell, but if you have the troop space in your army, you’ll save an all important spell slot for something else more useful - maybe freezing an inferno or having space to use a rage or jump or clone or poison spell or something. For this reason, the old rule of “Never mix ground and air troops” starts to break down as well - if you can distract all the high damage splash defenses with one kind of troop, the other can zoom in untouched.

Here’s some more specific ideas against a few kinds of bases:

• Ring bases - you’ll know a ring base when you see it. The inner core always has the town hall, and probably an eagle artillery too. Dragbats can pick these apart, especially if the infernos are set on single target mode. Often the wizard towers and maybe even the scattershots are on a more outer ring. Drop the dragons early - then drop the bats on one side or the other (not both) of that group so they go around the ring in a clump. Use balloons to distract the wizard towers or Scattershots as the bats are approaching them.

• Town Hall and Eagle Artillery in opposite corners - A lot of times you can use a super queen attack with healers on these. Drop the queen and the healers on the corner with the Eagle Artillery - not the side with the town hall. Use some giants and bowlers and wizards and wall breakers as needed to funnel for the siren and path her towards the Eagle Artillery. Once that’s gone, drop your main attack to either the right or left side of the Eagle Artillery - since the archer queen took that corner out, everything will path towards the middle and towards the far corner with the town hall. Mass witch attacks are reasonably easy to execute with these, although you can use lots of other comps here too - in witch attacks it helps to take either one or two sets of 4 earthquake spells, and maybe even a wall wrecker too, just to make sure you hit the town hall on the other side. Something I’ve seen a lot with these kinds of bases is to add an extra stage at the beginning where you drop a battle blimp with super wizards inside on the corner with the eagle artillery, get the wizards dropped in the middle of the base, use spells to make them invisible and rage them, and then do your super queen stuff - if the middle of the base is gone the rest of your army will stay together going to the town hall, and then you just use the GW ability to counteract the bomb.

The earth was in an ice age around 19,000 - 26,000 years ago - perhaps it started around then when everything was quite a bit cooler.

It probably is that popular among this crowd. There’s options to self-host your own Bitwarden instance IIRC.

I’ve started migrating away from LastPass and am using Bitwarden for new projects personally. LastPass is way better than nothing, but I wouldn’t recommend LastPass over Bitwarden these days.

It’s just incredible what they can do with stem cell technology these days

I think a better way to phrase it is that Jesus is very anit-exploitation of others.

I’m not sure I’d go so far as to say that Jesus is anti-private ownership of the means of production of goods and service. Capitalism can and has been done without it. Unfortunately people are scum and the free market tends to reward those who are able to successfully exploit others.

Y’know - I think stacking cinder blocks and some pavers on top would actually work just fine. Just angle the cinder blocks so the ones at the bottom have the holes poking out (and into the enclosure) and that should provide enough airflow to keep it from getting too hot in there.

Heck, you could probably angle them all that way except for the top ones. I haven’t seen videos of battery fires, but unless they’re like really really flammable, the fire shouldn’t burn out from around the several inches of concrete that surrounds it.

Remember fire burns up so the pavers and concrete blocks at the top will be what are actually blocking the most.

And then there’s those of us who stick 8-foot boards diagonally through their Honda Civics so a couple inches are sticking out the front passenger and rear driver windows.

Coincidentally, by far the most use my dad’s pickup truck bed gets is when I borrow it from him to really load up at Home Depot.

For all that offseason hype and hoopla, we Steelers sure have not looked too good these first 12 minutes or so
