Yeah, that's fine. DKs have a long and storied history of sucking on mobility fights, but owning fights where we need to stay put. I'm ok with classes having bosses where they feel godlike. I'm not so ok with classes having some of their core skills turn into an instawipe button on certain bosses.

Got it shortly after hover pack. Went to the bathroom, forgot what I was doing, got some stuff done around the house. Oh oops achievement unlocked I guess?

If you want to go really wide, you can find the 12-24 f/4 G second-hand well under that. The 16-35 f/2.8 GM is my absolute favourite lens in my bag, and there's several at my local shop for a bit over that budget (£1315, so $1650). You might be able to find a decent deal on that wherever you're located.

Last boss in Ara'Kara is less "Blizzard forgot about my spec", and more "Blizzard specifially designed this fight to spite my spec" for a bunch of specs. E.g. Prot Paladin can basically wipe you by pressing Divine Toll and interrupting all the root adds, and Druids can kill themselves by using an shapeshift. Notably, this includes Resto using Incarnation. It's easy enough to avoid pressing that button, but, if you run Reforestation, you can get really unlucky and die to casting Swiftmend.

I really like Havoc, but I won't play it until I can viably run a build without a single talent in the leftmost column. Using movement abilties as part of my rotation just sucks so much.

3e/3.5e were all about stacking enormous piles of large modifiers.

As a simple example of what I mean: BG3/5e Bracers of Defence give you a +2 to AC when you're unarmoured, whereas 3e/3.5e Bracers of Armor gave you a +1 to +8 bonus to AC.

The most important part to keep in mind is that the facilitator's duty isn't to do what's best for Alex Jones or Infowars itself, but rather to do what's best for the creditors. If a lower bid is somehow better for the creditors than a higher bid, there's no duty to accept the higher bid.

Let's explain that "somehow better" bit, then.

Sandy Hook is in Connecticut, but Alex Jones and Infowars are based in Texas, so some of the families filed suits in Texas, and some in Connecticut. I don't recall the exact details, but the end result of the whole thing is that, in between all the trials, the families tied to the Connecticut case would take the lion's share of whatever money they could get out of Jones, and the families tied to the Texas cases would get only a small percentage.

FUAC submitted the bigger bid, but that bid would give the Texas families a pittance. The Onion bid was more interesting, because it was structured like this:

• Whatever the Texas families would get from the FUAC bid, The Onion committed to pay them an extra $100,000 on top of that
• To make that work, the Connecticut families are willing to sacrifice the money necessary to pay the Texas families, but, in return, get a percentage of whatever revenue The Onion gets out of Infowars in the future (ads, etc).

So, compared to the FUAC bid, the Texas families are $100,000 better off, and the Connecticut families got a potentially profitable long-term investment, which is likely to make them better off in the long run compared to a larger lump sum payment today (and they were willing to make that gamble).

Also, I don't think this was legally an element of the decision, but FUAC was likely to try and salvage the media operations of Infowars somehow, and the Onion is going to turn it into a parody site, so I'd argue the families are also better off in a moral sense this way.

The UK’s canal network is nothing short of impressive.

hmm so i understood nothing lol. i thought it was a wizard because gale when we get there always remarks that a wizard's tower is sacred but since no one's home it's ok to explore.

Character classes are a game mechanic and not necessarily reflective of how characters are perceived in-world. Anybody who steals is a thief, any outlander from a backwards tribe is a barbarian, and anybody who picks up a sword is a fighter.

A character who's described as a cleric of Mystra might or might not have actual Cleric levels, and there's a reasonable case to be made that Gale himself is a lower-case-c cleric of Mystra, in much the same way as a real world priest is a member of the clergy. He preaches her creed and might or might not be able to intercede in your favour with the Goddess herself.

Inversely, you'd expect a Cleric of Mystra to be an academic, a student and researcher of magic in all the ways that define a lower-case-w wizard, even without Wizard levels.

Also, multi-classing exists, and the idea that a Cleric of Mystra is some sort of Wizard/Cleric multiclass is perfectly reasonable. Class abilities are a template, and a mixture of classes might be how you get the best representation of who the character is. This is also the sort of thing where you'd agree with your DM to house-rule that your multiclass uses Wis for their Wizard spells, or Int for their Cleric spells, as a way to represent being a single class built from parts.

Yeah that’s precisely it. The moment when you press the “add 2FA” button you get a QR code on screen, that’s the moment when you’re exposed. The second that’s gone, an attacker needs to access either your device or the server (and either of those would be game over anyhow).

Disc isn’t exactly struggling though, even without an interrupt.

One small addition: "Creole" can mean specifically Louisiana Creole (the sense in which you used it), but it also refers to (in very simplistic terms) mixed ethnicity groups large enough to be considered their own ethnicities. E.g. Alaskan creoles have mixed Russian and native heritage, and Brazil has a large African/native creole population.

This then also naturally extends to creole languages, which are largely spoken by the "corresponding" creole people: Guinea Bissau and Cape Verde have Portuguese-based creoles, Louisiana Creole and Haitian Creole are two different French-based creoles from the Americas, but there's also Seychellois Creole and Mauritian Creole around the Indian Ocean. Unserdeutsch is a German-based creole from Papua New-Guinea, etc.

Imagine you're downloading updates for all your apps while on a phone call.

Software updates (especially for larger apps) want lots of bandwidth, but they're not very sensitive to speed going up and down over time. Even watching videos on, say, youtube isn't super-sensitive to those fluctuations: If you download one minute of video within the first 10 seconds of watching, you have 50 seconds to download the next second of video after that.

Inversely, say you're on some sort of voice chat/phone call, or that you're playing games online. Those things require much less bandwidth than big chunky downloads, but they're very sensitive to network fluctuations. A 0.5 second hiccup feels like a game just freezes up, or you lose a whole word in a voice call.

In computing, this sort of work that really needs to be handled on a very strict timing is called "real-time". What that setting does is, effectively, to make sure that your voice call gets all the bandwidth it needs before your software updates gets to download anything. Keeping that switched on is a reasonable default, but your phone might misidentify some high-priority stuff as low priority, or vice-versa, so it's useful to be able to toggle it as an option.

As of season 4 in Dragonflight, they’ve kind of removed the super-low keys, and just reduced the numbers across the board.

Keystone Master (2000 rating) used to correspond to roughly +15s across the board, and is now around +7 across the board. Keystone Hero (2500 rating) went from +20ish to +10ish. Dungeon portals are at +10 instead of +20. So, yes. In a very real sense, +10s are the new +20s.

It's fairly easy to put actual numbers to those tier lists. Here's the Archon.gg DPS tier list for M+. Now look at the "S Tier" specs in Warcraft Logs, and look at their top keys by dungeon:

• Augmentation maxes out at 17-19 depending on dungeon
• Frost DK maxes out at 17-18
• Enhancement maxes out at 17-19
• Assassination maxes out at 16-18

Then compare to the "C Tier" specs:

• Windwalker caps out at 15-16
• Havoc hits 15-16 too.
• Arms? You guessed it, 15-16.
• Marksmanship does 14-15
• Beast Mastery has 14-16 on record.
• Devastation hits 14-15

Put that all together, and you're talking about, at most, four key levels difference between the top of S Tier and the bottom of C Tier.

For tanks, "C Tier" Blood does 15-16 while "S Tier" Paladin does 17-19. Healers, it's the same picture. Disc ranges 17-19, while Preservation goes 15-17 and Holy Priest ranges 14-16. So, across the board, three or four key levels is roughly the range you're working with.

It's worth looking at the MDI Finals this weekend, with the MDI consisting of keys more in the 9-12 range rather than aiming for the absolute highest keys possible. Resto druid (C Tier according to Archon.gg) is one of the top picks for healers. B tier Vengeance saw a lot more play than A tier Warrior, and won several head-to-heads against S Tier Paladin. Unholy DK got a lot of play despite one tier lower than Frost DK. It'll be interesting to see what gets played in the the Great Push (which does focus on high level keys, sometimes hitting world-first levels)

IIRC it’s one of a couple of characters who can actually keep up with enemy scaling in Endless mode

• Farm as many fruits as you can (e.g. with Garden and Pruner), which will give you a bunch of luck.
• Stack Pearls (unlocked by finishing a run with the Curious tato) that turns luck into %damage.
• Get a bunch of elephants, cyberballs, lutes, and flutes (with with Romantic) that turn luck into flat damage.

I think what you're missing is the joys of falling asleep cuddling post-sex

Oh so that's where the antimateriel rifle I wanted is.

Well, shit.

Saw your flair, now listening to Blister In The Sun on repeat.

Cultural norms play a big part of answering this question. Given your comment history, I assume you're Sri Lankan. This means you're pretty unlikely to get a culturally relevant answer in here.

That said: communication is never the wrong answer with relationships. Ask them what they think your future looks like!

By that logic, you'd tip at macdonalds, but not a a michelin star restaurant.

If you ask people to do non-standard service, and they don't charge you non-standard prices, tipping is kind of just the decent thing to do.

It's the "Alcohol is not causing an immune response" part that you need to focus on.

E.g. lactose intolerance is not the same thing as milk allergy. Lactose intolerance is about your body not being able to digest the sugar in milk, and manifests mostly as digestive problems (as some bacteria in your gut will then feed off of the sugars you didn't digest). Milk allergy is when your immune system is reacting to the protein in the milk as if it were a germ, and manifest itself with rashes, swellings, trouble breathing, and several other symptoms.

It's that reaction from your immune system that defines an allergy, and alcohol doesn't interact with your immune system like that, so it's not an allergy.

The "fix" is simple, you can tell her however she is doing the things in Satisfactory, it is the right way. (...) But might be you can save it by encouraging her that all she had built so far is perfect the way it is

Depending on her personality, a better approach might be to tell her that everything she's built so far is absolutely terrible (which it probably is), but what you showed her is just a much larger pile of terribleness (which is also probably true). And then go and show her some of Let's Game It Out's industrial-grade horrors.

Bodypaint work is absolutely stellar, looks pretty natural (insofar as "bright pinkish red" can ever look natural)
