Art Book Scorn
Joy Wida
When it says gradually, it means that as your shields go down, your armor goes up, and as your health goes down, weapon damage increases, it's not instantaneous and usually takes a few hits to get to this point
So, if you lose all your shields, you get the full fury buff, lose a portion of your health, and you get he scorn buff, the max percentage for the buff wont be instantly applied, btu will rather allow you to take some hits before getting you to your max damage / defensive output
Not really no... I have only 300 shield on my build but everytime Vex armour is activated I can't even get a bonus above 150% ... this is because of the enemy damage. smaller shields might do well on lower level runs
These depend on damage. I didn't test the exact numbers, but when I was hit hard I was almost instantly getting the full armor bonus ( I had max. redirection). It does not depend on the current levels of your shields, they can recharge and you will still have the same bonus. The same about HP. When I was receiving poison damage from infested drones (really low), I was getting about 2-3% bonus damage per poison tic.
I think both buffs depend on actual raw damage sustained, not the amount of hits nor % of your shield gone. So if you have bigger shields and health Scorn and Fury will have easier time maxing out compared to the lower shield/health values.
That Microsoft was about to stop supporting a PC it is currently selling and for which it controls everything from the firmware to the drivers earned the company some well-deserved scorn from users and the press.
I got to my feet and followed my group to the vans awaiting us outside the hotel. Humanitarians from the United States, we had flown to the other side of the globe to offer food and support to the survivors of the Rohingya genocide. Two hours of bumpy Bengali road later, we emerged from the vehicles and stretched our legs, preparing to hike into the camps. It was not unusual for the small crowd of Bangladeshis to gather around the tall, pale Americans. Our sunglasses and hiking boots offered a marked contrast to their bare feet and simple dress.
When I had contracted to come on this humanitarian mission, I had agreed to follow several protocols. One of them was that I would not offer personal gifts in the camps; rather that I would stick to the organized distribution of food. But after all, I reasoned, it was just an orange. I sought out our Bengali guide and asked him if it were okay to share the orange.
I found the boy and said that I was sorry. My Bengali was not good enough to understand his reply. But the disgusted look on his face and the titters of the children around him confirmed that whatever he had said, it had been far less than complimentary. My heart dropped as I turned towards the camp.
That day in the refugee camp, we did so much good. We taught a fertility class and distributed bracelets to the women and girls. We distributed dry food that we had packed ourselves to hundreds of families. We interviewed many survivors, listening to their stories and offering compassion. But the gratitude and new friendships could not erase the scorn of the boy in the blue polo.
As we were driving back toward the hotel, hot and hungry and happy, we got stuck in a minor traffic snarl. I was sitting in the passenger seat up front, taking in the colorful chaos of Bangladesh at sunset. Ahead of us was some sort of commuter vehicle with an open truck bed filled with students and workers. Some people had spilled out onto the roof of the truck and others were hanging on the side. A young man in a yellow button-up shirt and bright eyes noticed me, and he waved with his left hand while hanging on with his right. Soon several of the passengers were smiling and waving in our direction. Our group photographer handed me his video camera, and for a few minutes I filmed the passengers while they made faces for the camera. Traffic was starting to move again as I put the camera down. The young man in yellow pantomimed to me that we should switch places, and we both laughed. Then I remembered the orange.
I glanced at the driver of our van as I rolled down the window, and he readily understood my meaning. We were creeping along slowly, beginning to overtake the commuter truck, as I held out the orange to the teen in the button-up. A delighted smile split his face as he stretched his hand near for the orange, and our driver masterfully maneuvered us into position to make the exchange. We reached out in unison, balancing the fruit until his fingers grasped it securely. For just an instant that young man and I were linked together by something far more substantial than a simple orange, and then we passed the truck and moved on.

OED rejects the suggestion that the vowel change in the Romanic languages might be by influence of or confusion with Old French escorner "deprive of horns," hence "deprive of honor or ornament, disgrace," from Vulgar Latin *excornare (source of Italian scornare "treat with contempt"), from Latin ex- "without" (see ex-) + cornu "horn" (see horn (n.)).
Late 14c. as "one of the tips of the crescent moon." The name was retained for a class of musical instruments that developed from the hunting horn; the French horn is the true representative of the class. Of dilemmas from 1540s; of automobile warning signals from 1901. Slang meaning "erect penis" is suggested by c. 1600. Jazz slang sense of "trumpet" is by 1921. Meaning "telephone" is by 1945. Figurative senses of Latin cornu included "salient point, chief argument; wing, flank; power, courage, strength." Horn of plenty is from 1580s. To make horns at "hold up the fist with the two exterior fingers extended" as a gesture of insult is from c.1600.
Symbolic of cuckoldry since mid-15c. (the victim was fancied to grow one on his head). The image is widespread in Europe and perhaps as old as ancient Greece. The German linguist Hermann Dunger ('Hrner Aufsetzen' und 'Hahnrei', "Germania" 29, 1884) ascribes it to a custom surviving into 19c., "the old practice of engrafting the spurs of a castrated cock on the root of the excised comb, which caused them to grow like horns" [James Hastings, "Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics"] but the image could have grown as well from a general gesture of contempt or insult made to wronged husbands, "who have been the subject of popular jest in all ages" [Hastings].
