If he does manage to pul it off,there's a good chance he'd be increasing the sheer lethality of it all not by triple,but threefold.

Triple..... is threefold, no?
They're synonyms 😐🫤

the prices for rare metal are going to drop in freefall after liam sells his stock wholesale.
like mansa musa wrecking every market he visited.
they wanted it, they get it. until they drown.

only problem this chapter, Liam doesn't realize he has a elite force and by himself he's already hundres of people strong, so his way of fighting is still good as he can curbstomp his enemies by sheer quality. I get the importance of quantity, but it would be more of a deterrant than a way to defeat his enemies.

His concern is valid though. There is a reason why the IJA was able to roflstomp the Chinese Army in WW2, but got cut to ribbons by the Marine Corps.

I was thinking about that too. The way I've heard and used it all my life is that. Threefold == 3 times.

I'm now wondering if I've just been taught wrong as is common. Fold once and it doubles the thickness, twice four times, so three folds would be eight times.

Exponential growth.

Language gets misused and abused all the time, so this difference in meaning wouldn't surprise me.

For some examples, "it's all up hill from here" I grew up with meaning things will only get better. Years ago the people in the work environment confused me with "it's all down hill from here" meaning to them that things will only get easier from now on. One day, I'll figure out the difference between button-up and button-down shirts.

I think the right term for exponentiality would be "X folded".

As taken from a 6 years old reddit thread (100% trust):

(...)However, looking at the literal definition of "three fold" means you fold something three times.

"Three folds" is not the same as "threefold".
They are vaguely related but the use in the sense of "threefold" is the original and the verb use as in "fold a paper" is derived from that. Only from there do we get the noun form "fold" as in "something formed by folding". So "threefold" unambiguously means 3x.

Basically saying "this is English, literal translation is meaningless."

Doesn't he have those space ninjas how in the hell are they gonna poison him

Did they switch artists? Am I imagining it or has the artwork degraded?

One day, I'll figure out the difference between button-up and button-down shirts.

Usually when buttoning a shirt you just put on, one would start at the bottom and work your way up. When taking off a shirt one would unbutton from the top working down to the bottom. So button up means to put on and button down is to take off.

Ah look, our intergalactic Marschall Vorwärts gets a reality check. Good, good, time to realise that charging into the enemy all the time works with the gangsters and maybe the smaller noble factions/houses, but not the big fishes.

 

[parodyres]

Uh, did the original say 3 times or 4 times? Because Liam would need 40000 to deal with 10000 enemy ships. Not 30000. Someone did the math wrong.

 

[InsaneAwesomeTony]

Thanks for the chapter 🙏🏼

I think you'd need to go into a Mecha manga to find something like that. There are some tactics once in a while (there is even a supporting character who is off-brand Ciaphas Cain.) But things often come down to 'mobile knights go brrrrrt'.

This is a mecha comic,though,but more importantly,it doesn't need to be mechs for them to explain it,they just need to actually do so.

Ah,there's the problem.

I was tought that "three fold"/"threefold" is "^3" by me Math teachers.

Considering none of them were English teachers,though...

Went to check, the section on JCPenney's and Walmart's site are labeled button down, so their shirts are made to be taken off? Macy's and Nordstrom's are listed as button up, so they are for made to put on?

Guess JCPenney and Walmart are sexier.

Out of habit I button and unbutton from top down. Can't say I've noticed how others dress. Wouldn't be surprised if there was a styling guide at a higher income bracket though.

 

[GutsMansAss]

elixir is the only cure? arent he already spamming elixir?

Unless I'm remembering wrong, he has some magic device to just generate elixirs but hasn't cracked it like he did with the alchemy machine.

I could be remembering wrong though.

Thing is, they don't know about the space ninjas... As they are space ninjas. You don't plan for a thing you don't just not know, but can't imagine.

Much like him pretty much drinking wine and pissing elixir, the only known foil for their poisoning plan.

Nothing to do with direction, AFAIK, though it's a really silly and unexpected differentiation.

It's about collars and pockets. No, I'm not shitting you.

Button-ups are more formal and have a stiffened collar for a tie, so they don't need buttons to keep them in place. Button-downs have looser and more workman oriented fabric, which had the collar buttoned down. Same for the pockets, as they were usually fitted with bigger patch pockets with buttoned down flaps, instead of one just for a square or a chainpiece.

Distilled grudge of a whole planet? My, my, that sounds like a perfect gift for The Guide! Of course the gift is due to the endless gratitude that Liam feels towards him! Wouldn't it be funny if said grudge got completely negated by the gratitude attached to the gift?

The grudge is probably from the planet the pirates massacred so it probably won’t do anything to anyway.

More reason why Amagi is best robot wife forever here

Amagi giving him the mom stare and he asking her not be mad is so cute.
