[author0] BK57 with 2 attachments So this is for the seasonal event. I tried any combination of 2 attachments for the BK57 but it does not seem to add to the kills I need. Is this a glitch or am I doing something wrong?
Edit: [SOLVED] [author1] The scope counts as 1 attachment, I also used the skin the previous tier unlocked but don't know if that makes a difference. Hope this helps!
​
Edit: Spelling is hard [author0] It worked. Thank you.

[author0] Facebook ad retargeting - dynamic product ads necessary? Hey guys, new to facebook marketing and ecommerce in general. I recently launched a fb ad optimized for clicks, and I'm getting good response/results. I have a pixel installed on my website to track views on product information, or products themselves, or add cart.
I have made 1 good sale after just running this for 2 days (which is good for this business and price point).
I am starting to think about a retargeting ad, but ran into some difficulties with setting up dynamic ads with the microtags and what not. Is this really necessary? Or can I just run a more generic carousel retargeting ad?
Thanks. [author1] How many products do you sell on your site? If its one, DPA doesnt matter since people could only ever look at one product. If its 20 - wouldnt you prefer showing people the exact product(s) they looked at? Its really not difficult getting the catalog setup for DPA. If you are on Shopify, download the flexify app - its free. Create your product catalog in Business Manager and insert the data feed from Flexify.
Look for any issues with info and fix them and thats it. DPA ads in my experience are on average the best returns of any retargeting campaign. Part of that is the level of personalization, part of that is the fact that they are typically shown to people right after they hit your site - either way you should be using them if you offer multiple products. [author0] it's multiple products. one related note is that I am having difficulty with my product variants. Think of multiple images, that can be printed on different products. I am unable to get pixel data on which variation someone might've selected. Also, I don't have photographs of every image + product variation permutation. I have to point people to a sample products page to see what that might look like. That's been a real weakness.
Yea, I should work on the DPA setup. I was just getting a little burnt out setting all of this up and just wanted an easy way out after I ran into some difficulty learning the microtagging.

[author0] Borrow 401k for house down payment I know this is not a new question and most of the time the answer is no. However, for my family, the current rent rate in the area for 3 bedrooms is between $1700-$2000/month, if I go buy a house, the potential mortgage payment is about $1200-$1500/month. I intend to borrow from my 401k so I can put more into down payment. Current real estate in the area, it is a heavy defense & space area, and it is booming, most people still working, and the real estate market still has the potential upward. My current lease is up in August. Should I borrow my 401k and buy a house and sign the lease for another 6 months after August? [author1] Let me answer your question with a few questions first.
How old are you?
How much money do you have in your 401k?
What's your annual income?
These are key questions. [author0] I’m 26, current my 401k is only 18k. My annual income is 87k [author1] Take the 401k as a whole and use it to buy real estate. The amount that the real estate will appreciate will out weigh the loss on the 401k in the long run.
You need a place to live. Its better to own the roof over your head than pay someone else's mortgage.
You have time to rebuild the 18k since your still in your 20's
I bought my first house when I was 24. I rolled it into 2 other homes. In 20 years, I now have a $500k home that I own almost 40% of and will have it almost paid off by retirement.
Also, I didn't start my 401k till I was 30. I have close to a half million in it now.
Key is, don't buy over your head. Buy a shithole that needs work and roll up your sleeves and do it. [author0] Thanks for the advice! I can only pull out 9k because I has been with the company only 2.5 years so I can’t vest the other half yet [author1] Buy something that you can fix up..I can't stress how important it is.
Don't worry about what it looks like. Focus on the neighborhood and resale value.
Don't think, just do it..and do it now. Keep the mindset that you have about rent vs buying. You are on the right track. [author0] Definitely will [author2] I have to disagree here. The appreciation of real estate will vastly lose to average time in the market. Real estate only appreciates at around the rate of inflation. If you were to rebuild the 401k quickly then it wouldn’t really matter, but if you were to do that you could just save that money for the down payment instead. I do agree on buying something you can improve yourself, but not a fan of pulling from retirement.
Also, PMI is not much at all if you have good credit. Just bought a house and pay about $40/month in PMI. [author0] My intend is built my 401k back up within 2 years [author1] I’m surprised at some of these stupid responses.
Bottom line,if you can buy instead of renting you are building equity by paying down a mortgage and property values increasing.
Let’s say you buy a home. In 30 years if you don’t refi you will own the property outright and other than property tax your cost of living will be low. All these assholes will still be paying rent and depleting their retirement funds regardless.
Can you imagine how much rent will increase in 30 years when you are basically paying just property tax? [author0] The real estate value has been increasing tremendously in this area pretty much 200% since 2016 due to defense industries. All these companies are still hiring during this time. It’s one of the reason I consider buying a house, especially the rent keeps increasing. I have enough money for 5% down payment. I can consider 401k so I can have some extra money just in case [author1] At 5% PMI is gonna kill you unfortunately.
Good luck. [author0] I think I speak my estimate for mortgage payment is a bit inaccurate, I already include the tax, insurance, PMI, HOA, up there [author1] Keep in mind pmi is scaled for your credit score as well as percentage of down payment

[author0] Who are characters you're indifferent about? Talking about characters you don't really like or dislike and are just average to you. Like if you were making a favorite characters list with all the characters in the series, they would be exactly in the middle of that list. [author1] Koji, Tail-Bro, Sugar Man, Twinkle douche, Invisible Thot, Sero and Mineta.
I feel like losing them would only help the series. [author2] I was pretty indifferent to Sero until I saw the latest movie, he really gets some time to shine, made me appreciate his quirk a lot more.

[author0] What the Great Pyramid of Giza looked like at the time [author1] My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair! [author2] I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias\_III, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.” [author3] God damn I get goosebumbs every time I read it. My faveorite poem of all time. [author4] Hot damn yesss
Percy Bysshe Shelley crafted such a haunting, *lonely* image here. The language is strong enough not to feel dated- not a single wasted word. Vivid so you can follow, but open enough for you to feel like you’re there, like you’re soaking up the sight of this thing, and you’re feeling whatever *you would feel* right there... surrounded by the “lone and level sands” [author3] The [Bryan Cranston reading](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMySF1nkN8o&t=17s) of it is an absolute bop.
Someone also made an [animation](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPlSH6n37ts&ab_channel=Hammers) to go with it that was perfect for me because English is my second language and I was having trouble visualizing it. [author5] Well goddamn, thank you for this.

[author0] Coronavirus kills Philly street sweeping expansion [author1] It was an antiquated idea from the beginning. Most litter (especially visible litter) is on the sidewalks, not the streets. Let's get sidewalk sweeping, not street sweeping! [author2] Give homeless people a big broom, big dustpan, and a backpack trash bag/can.
They can get paid a certain amount for every pound of garbage and recyclable they collect.
Homeless people get some money for food (or w/e, I'm not a cop) and we get clean streets/sidewalks. [author3] I believe that is the point behind [Ready, Willing and Able](https://www.rwaphila.org/). They already do some sidewalk/street sweeping in Point Breeze. [author2] Sweeping is one part of their program? If it's just one area, that's cool and all, but I mean a big citywide push. I really wish they'd do something about it and that's the idea I just had.

[author0] Unpopular opinion: elite colleges should not offer full financial aid This will come across as privileged, but hear me out.
To preface this, I am all for financial aid, to an extent, and I feel like the current system is broken in multiple ways that allows colleges to get rapidly more expensive for no reason.
At Ivy League and other high ranking universities (T50 schools basically), the majority of students graduate with the ability to earn high salaries right off the bat. Many have the ability to pay off student loans, and thus I believe that all students should be required to pay something for college (ie, financial aid should not cover all expenses) and there should be a minimum cost (in my opinion, 15k per year) to attend these schools.
At Harvard, 55% of students receive financial aid, averaging $53,000 per financial aid award. This means that on average, each student receives over $29,000 in financial aid (bringing the sticker price down to about $40,000)
I will be attending a high ranking school next year, but received no financial aid. My family appears wealthy on paper, but having to support 10 people stretches the income quite thin. As a result, I will be taking out high student loans. My choice makes sense for my chosen major (CS+ finance double major), however I believe it is unfair that I, a student, should have to personally cover my expense, and much of the expenses of other students.
Because high ranking universities provide such high earning potentials, each student should be expected to take out reasonable amounts of loans. Otherwise, we become stuck in a system where few pay for the many, and colleges don’t have an incentive to keep costs low, as current financial aid packages are very good, and thus many students don’t have problems (for now). However, if we don’t rectify this issue, then eventually, college costs will eclipse 100k per year, and everyone will be forced to pay astronomical amounts (including students from lower-income backgrounds) [author1] I actually agree 100%. My parents make a good income, but how can a 'good' income pay for three kids in top schools simultaneously? Over 200k/year, and that's after tax. That's about 400k of income needed just to cover tuition. [author2] And why do you think the solution is to stop poor people from attending whatsoever? Seems unnecessary [author0] I personally don’t think that ~40-60k of debt from a student graduating from an Ivy League college is that much. I think it’s somewhat reasonable to expect that. I have 2 other siblings in college, and it’s sad that some students take such a large loss [author2] That’s not the point. Poor/financially disadvantaged people flat out can’t get loans sometimes. If you stopped giving aid to the lower class, a lot won’t be able to attend. So you’re basically saying ‘yeah I don’t think that lower class kids really deserve to go to top colleges’ even if that’s not what you intend to say. Try learning about how loans work, you’re just coming from an incredibly ignorant position of privilege. Not your fault, but try to educate yourself. [author3] This!! You have to pay these loans back as soon as you graduate and if the student wants to go to med/law/grad school, I believe they don't get nearly as much aid as undergrad. So you're looking at a tremendous amount of debt here. There are no parents or family to pay it off.

[author0] One of the saddest ones for me was #65 (link in description) but I think I missed something. I'm not quite sure why they eyepatch guy (I think its Tarn not too sure) died. If someone could help explain that and the whole 100% thing that would be really helpful. [https://www.srgrafo.com/comic/65](https://www.srgrafo.com/comic/65) [author1] Tarn died of an infection. In Rimworld(the video game) a character with an infection will have an infection percentage displayed in their tab. If the infection percentage reaches 100%, they die. [author0] Oh ok, I don't play so thanks. Just to clear something up, are Tarn, Tynan, and Andrew all kind of fighting over Noodles? [author1] No problem! And yeah they are. They all seem to see themselves as kind of a father figure to noodles. [author2] I thought Tarn was his actual father? [author1] He is. Sorry, I probably should have clarified that.

[author0] First Build Help \>\*\*1. What will you be doing with this PC? Be as specific as possible, and include specific games (ex: resolution, FPS, settings) or programs you will be using.\*\*
​
* I'm looking for a least 60FPS on high settings for games along the lines of Apex and Warzone. Ideally at least 1080p.
​
\>\*\*2. What is your maximum PRE-TAX budget before rebates and shipping?\*\*
​
* Ideally under $2000
​
\>\*\*3. When do you plan on building/buying the PC? Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date when you want to buy.\*\*
​
* I'd like to buy within the next week.
​
\>\*\*4. What, exactly, do you need included in the budget? (ex: tower/OS/monitor/keyboard/mouse/etc)\*\*
​
* Tower, OS, and monitor
​
​
\>\*\*5. If reusing any parts (including monitor(s)/keyboard/mouse/etc), what parts will you be reusing? How old are they? Brands and models are appreciated.\*\*
​
* I'll be keeping my mouse and keyboard.
​
\>\*\*6. Will you be overclocking (ex: CPU/GPU/RAM)? If yes, are you interested in overclocking right away, or down the line?\*\*
​
* No
​
\>\*\*7. Are there any specific features or items you want/need in the build? (ex: SSD, Wi-Fi, VR, VirtualLink, tensor cores, large amount of storage or a RAID setup, CUDA or OpenCL support, etc)\*\*
​
* Unfortunately needs WiFi as I can get an Ethernet to where it will be set up.
​
\>\*\*8. Do you have any specific case preferences (ex: mITX/mATX/mid-tower/full-tower sizes, styles, colors, window or not, LED lighting, etc), or a particular color theme preference for the components?\*\*
​
* No
​
\>\*\*9. Do you need a copy of Windows included in the budget? Note: some post-secondary students can get Windows 10 for free.\*\*
​
* I think so. Not sure if my school gets free windows 10 or not.
​
\>\*\*10. Will you be upgrading this PC in the future (ie: will you swap out better parts later on or will you build an entirely new tower later)? If so, when?\*\*
​
* If it turns out well I'd likely just upgrade parts in a few years rather than rebuy a whole new setup.
​
\>\*\*11. Do you have a brand preference? (ex: AMD/Intel for CPUs, AMD/NVIDIA for video cards, etc)\*\*
​
* Prefer to go with AMD/Nvidia. I've read the AMD video cards have had driver issues and I don't have a ton of experience with those sorts of things so I'd like to avoid that if I can.
​
\>\*\*12. Do you already have an old PC that you're thinking of upgrading? If so, paste its build here.
​
* Will be a whole new build.
​
\>\*\*13. Extra info or particulars:\*\*
​
* Been doing a bit of research and came up with the build below. Mostly chose the motherboard because it had built-in WiFi (it was around the same price as a B450 Tomahawk without an adapter). I'm not sure how big of an issue the compatibility issues will be given the potential issues listed.
* [https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/M2fQNq](https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/M2fQNq)
* Thanks in advance! [author1] Since you need a monitor, and you have a 1440p budget, the 5700xt is your best choice here. You could go 2060 Super, but the 5700xt is a stronger card. If you want to go up to the 2070 Super, you'll be over $2000, but I'll leave that up to you.

[author0] Is the late penalty outdated? I feel like the late penalty is outdated. I have never seen a single person say that someone deserves to lose xp because they are late to a quest. There should be no reason for a person to lose xp if they come to the group late to help others out of if the group is slower. [author1] SSG nerfed optional quest xp because they didn't like people grinding quickly rather than playing a quest properly. I don't think it's intended for the late penalty to actually bring fairness to a party. I think it's to prevent some people from prepping a quest for others allowing them to enter at the end for xp.
Personally, I think if you do all the work to complete a quest you should have the ability to invite people to join at the end for xp just like a chest. If you can solo something at level, good on you, invite 5 people right at the end.
Of course, inviting them at the end means you didn't deal with dungeon scaling the entire time. So the late penalty also means pikers have to be there while you're actually doing the quest if they want xp, so if you let 5 people stand at the entrance you're going to legitimately pay in terms of a tougher quest. Assuming scaling works properly, I certainly haven't checked in years. [author2] >I think it's to prevent some people from prepping a quest for others allowing them to enter at the end for xp.
This was rampant back in the day in City of Heroes, with even RMT people selling it. Thankfully i don't remember it being that huge of a problem in DDO. Speedruns have always bothered the devs though, almost from launch if i'm remembering right. [author3] Lolwut? Speedrunning quests is the only thing that keeps them interesting after 90 lives. [author4] Faster quest completion = faster times to max level = less incentive to buy xp stones and xp potions.

[author0] Who is in the right(well no one is but who’s less in the wrong) Me(19, m) and my girlfriend(19,f) just got into a little argument because I forgot our anniversary tomorrow and it’s like the 3rd time I did this over 8 months but it’s just because I don’t really think too much about dates and think any of them are really special. I don’t really care about birthdays or holidays stuff like that because to me it’s just a date. I told her this but it didn’t really help. Then we hung up to give eachother a little space to cool down but in that time she logged into my Snapchat without telling me or asking me because she got worried and that really set me off. I just wanna know if I should go in to next time we talk mainly apologizing or hold my ground. [author1] >I forgot our anniversary tomorrow and it’s like the 3rd time I did this over 8 months
First question, how do you forget an anniversary 3 times in 8 months? Are ya'll celebrating every *month*? Because that's a little weird.
>I don’t really care about birthdays or holidays stuff like that because to me it’s just a date.
She clearly does care about that stuff. I'm not saying you should be celebrating every *month* anniversary, that's still weird. But surely you can manage to do something for birthdays and holidays? [author0] Hahaha ya I did something nice for her birthday but it’s not like celebrating it(the anniversaries). She asked me if I knew what tomorrow was and I said Friday. Oops. But I know I do try to remember it just slips my mind and I have finals going on so I’ve been studying for that so it just hasn’t really been on my mind [author1] Most couples don't celebrate every month... The first 6th month anniversary, sure, and yearly anniversaries, yeah of course. But every month is not normal and it's understandable that you wouldn't remember that. She sounds pretty high maintenance. [author0] Ok haha I’ll bring that up

[author0] Crashing Economy, Rising Stocks: What’s Going On? [author1] The Stock Market is entirely disconnected from the economy as Wall Streets is just money games to suck up all our retirements and savings , so hedge fund managers can make a quick ten million - that's my guess. NYTimes won't let me in. [author2] Hedge fund managers are getting wrecked. All their clients are pulling out their money. If you manage $100 million and get paid 2%, you get $2 million. If your clients pull out their money and put it in gold or bonds, you get 2% of nothing. And that's on top of any losses you have while trading.

[author0] York Psychology / kinesiology vs Queens Life Sciences Hi All,
I’ve recently been accepted to these programs and would like to know which you would recommend.
I am working full time with two kids. This is my second degree, changing careers medical school hopeful.
The York University is close by with online and nights options and Queens is fully online.
I would appreciate feedback from previous students. Thanks [author1] Or you can always take Psychology and cherry pick Kine courses like I did! There are a few "GPA crushers" within the Kine programs mandatory courses, whereas some Psych classes can do damage to your GPA but you have more flexibility in my opinion.
If you take Psychology at York feel free to message me and I'll help with advice the best I can. [author0] Hi,
Are you planning on applying to medical school or have your been accepted? Thanks [author1] I plan on applying, I have not been accepted. I do feel my degree has put me in a competitive position with it allowing me a 3.96 cGPA. I don't feel as though I could have obtained this from some of the other degrees people would refer to as "pre-med", which only applies if you can be competitive enough to get in ! [author0] Nice that’s an amazing GPA I don’t think you will have any trouble being accepted once you start applying. Did you do the psychology BA or Bsc at York. [author1] I did the BA Psych, I had asked people who have completed UofT, McMaster and NOSM and they all said BSc or BA does not matter but BSc has some more difficult requirements to fulfill the degree.

[author0] aquashot with 2pieces namielle 3safi? do you think its worth? the chest looked nice for the water lbg and the namiell set bonus gives 2 element/ammo up. [author1] I donne understand u want to use water ammo against namiell3 ? [author2] No, they are asking if it's worth using 2 pieces of Namielle armor for the Elemental Acceleration which gives bonus elemental bonus and Free Element/Ammo Up 2 with the 2 piece set, and 3 pieces of Safi for Dragonvein Awakening. [author1] Ok got it.. i use all 5 piece safi for water ammo and it hit like truck.
Hearing scream from scarred garuga !! [author2] Yeah, that's it. You can already fit everything you need into 5pc Safi for elemental LBG. Maybe if nami set gave more elemental damage bonus than Safi since you have to actually proc it, but I believe they're both the same amount.

[author0] Pin Number for In-Store Online Pick up? So I am an account manager on a shared account and previously, I have never needed to give my pin number for online ordered in store pick ups. It has been always My Identification and the card I paid with. I even had my Verizon Pass ready to go. Always worked smoothly never any bumps. And these are online purchases ranging from phones to smart watches to accessories.
But today the guy said he couldn't even access my account without my pin. And I couldn't get ahold of the main account holder so I couldn't pick it up. It should be noted that this was a Victra Verizon store and my first time doing a Online Ordered In Store Pick Up. Can anyone confirm this for me? [author1] It's because it is a Victra. Victra can't access w/o PIN, and they can't use Verizon Pass. Realistically, you just need to get the PIN, for multiple reasons. [author0] > Thank you

[author0] Should I keep blender at 24 fps for animation or should I turn it up to 30? Hi I'm currently making a music video in blender, I've made some test scenes at 24 fps and I'm wondering if it would be a good idea to try to remake them at 30. The video involves some character animation and I'm wondering what peoples thoughts are on higher frame rate animation. Is it worth it to redo the scenes at 30? [author1] If you've already got it animated I dont think it's worth it to move to 30 fps. Nobody will notice a 6 frame difference. Really just depends on what you're trying to achieve. Maybe post a snippet of the animation. [author0] the animation is really simple and could be redone in like 20 minutes. I'm more just wondering if 24 fps is typical for animation. Coming from video games 24 fps sounds unbearably choppy so I was surprised that it was the default frame rate.

[author0] About a year and a half, but only because I took many breaks and when I started I was new to using bobbins to crochet so there was a steep learning curve. If I were to do something similar now and not take breaks, it would probably be 2-3 months.

[author0] Bill Gates is wrong. China’s coronavirus coverup is not a ‘distraction.’ - The Washington Post [author1] I am so sick of our top 1% always putting China's interests over the interests of our own people. Half of Gates fortune has come from China. Is anyone surprised that he carries water for their party line? [author2] Microsoft products and services, like their search engine Bing, outlook email, github, are pretty much the only major western internet technologies not blocked in China.
Makes one wonder what kind of deals they've done with the devil. How many messages sent over outlook or searches on Bing got the user disappeared into concentration camps? [author1] I think your questions are bang on. We also need to review the way Facebook and Google and other IT companies are helping them build their surveillance state system. These IT giants are so proud of saying they are not American, but global companies. When you consider those declarations and then look at the company they keep, you begin to wonder what kind of future they are planning for us. [author2] I have deep knowledge of the culture at one the big tech firms, and some insight into the others via acquaintances.
The self-serving rationale for dealing with regimes like China is the same myth behind the last few decades of free trade: compromising in the short term will help advance China along a natural arc of progress towards liberalization and integrating with the rules based international community. As it happens it also makes greater returns for shareholders, both for the tech firms that snitch on dissidents and put censorship tools in place, and for all businesses that benefit from unfettered trade.
So nice when a moral rationale can be discovered that (coincidentally) boosts profits.
But that kind of bullshit is not what concerns me the most. It's the fact that 99% of Silicon Valley types want absolutely nothing to do with military applications, will refuse to work on them, pass around petitions internally threatening to quit if the company engages in defense contracts with their own government. Yet I estimate 10-20% of Silicon Valley engineers are Chinese nationals, who you can be damn sure are transferring tech back to China where nobody has the right or inclination to quibble how the technology is applied. That is when the companies themselves aren't engaged in projects with CCP entities.
It's so easy to be a reflexive pacifist with "war is ALWAYS wrong" type mentality. Even in this sub a comment will be banned if it advocates for military action, say hypothetically defense of international shipping lanes and illegal weapons outposts built on reefs.
This mentality pervades much of the West, but especially Silicon Valley. [author1] I would add one more observation to your many excellent points. That being the way our university culture has also sold out to the CCP. All across STEM fields American citizens are being turned away in favor of students being sent from China. Not because they are superior students, but because they pay more in foreign tuition. In one generation our universities are auctioning off the accrued scientific patrimony of our entire civilization. Knowledge and technology that the taxpayer financed. It is not theirs to sell.

[author0] Why do games have to be so big? I know a big game has to use a lot of storage cause of multiple good reasons. Im kind of stunned about me installing 5 games on my "Emergency-Coronavirus-parts-pc and it is already maxed out its capacity. (Gta5, Red2, Borderlands 3, Forza Horizon 4, PVZ bfn) I remember like around 10 years back, Bioshock was released and i as a young gamer was stunned about the great graphics, good animations and an great story. The thing is this game that still looks up to date and plays like a charm required only 9GB while Red2 is at 125... I just miss those times... Or another example, i love the original doom and it only usesb (i think it was 28MB) [author1] Hard drives are cheap. [author2] Cheap is relative. [author3] If he can afford to be a PC gamer then hard drives are cheap. [author4] That's like saying because I build a $600 PC, I can also afford a $400 Samsung 980 Pro SSD. [author3] No, it's not. We said hard drives, as in the entire category. We didn't said top of the line hard drives are cheap. You can buy some 500GB ssds for $59. Considering the price of some of the games he's mentioned, the drive would be cheaper than some of them. Don't go to extremes, use nuance and reason. [author5] Speaking of reasoning, it's important to remember that gamers in developing countries do not have access to "cheap" parts due to the exchange rate between the dollar and their local currency. Also, even in developed countries internet speed and bandwidth may vary wildly. In some regions there are data caps, so that downloading one AAA game a month (plus regular web use) may send the bills overboard with extra fees. Thus, gaming and cheap storage are not universally accessible. Each of us here probably has a different reality, background and set of priorities. [author6] Which is why he said
> If he can afford to be a PC gamer
Again, if you have the money to buy a GPU + CPU that can play modern games (and a decent monitor), storage isn't expensive.
Also you don't have to play modern open-world games. Comparing a linear ([and quite old](https://gamespot1.cbsistatic.com/uploads/original/gamespot/images/2007/233/reviews/816997-924919_20070822_001.jpg)) game like Bioshock to a highly detailed open-world game like RDR2 is just insane.

[author0] Level 55? Help I am new in the game and i just get level 55, so i want to know what do do now, should i keep doing the story quest? and where can i farm gear so i can do the advancement quest later?. which are the endgame gears in this game? and pls someone help me with the basics for uprading or making gear more powerfull. Thanks! [author1] 1. Keep doing the story quests, I believe the GF version recently buffed story exp to Lv58 although I haven't been able to confirm this myself. Afterwards there's a quest from Tenebris that you spam to Lv59 and another one from Avon at 59 to Lv60. At level 60, you can decide to run raids for aov or just continue leveling.
2. You can finish rookie raids with the free Terminus set. Ideally you should try to get Worker Ex Machina and Baalride to +2 to solo comfortably + Added Soulstones.
3. AoV is the current endgame equipment for the GF version
4. Increase VIP with Trisha to Lv4 before trying to enhance endgame equipment and then apply any superstition for hoping towards a +9. Lv4 VIP with Trisha gives the max enhancement rate bonus. Swapping aetherites is cheapest way to level it. Upgrade -> Swap. Do this one at a time since you don't get more loyalty by doing it bulk [author0] Thanks you, so kind of a stupid question where do you get the worker ex machina and the baalride set? [author1] From Inferior Akashas or from Akasha Selection Tickets given away at Lv10 and 20. Just make another character if you already used them and send it over shared storage since that's the fastest method. [author0] 👌

[author0] Regret turning down a job Back in December I got offered a job that would’ve been good experience but turned it down due to it being part time (low pay and inconsistent low hours). Stupid me thought I could do better but got rejected everywhere else. Anyways things changed, I need my first post grad job and last month I applied again to this same company, got another interview and accepted the part time position this time.
Joke’s on me though cause if I had accepted it back in November like the other “newbie” who did I would’ve been bumped to full time cause turns out someone who was full time left in January and they had an opening 😔. So I’m stuck working part time for pennies (10-20hrs a week) while the other new girl who got here about 2 months before me is about to be a full timer with consistent hours and benefits. That could’ve been me if I hadn’t turned it down initially. FML [author1] Everybody makes mistakes. Those type of humbling experiences teach us a lot. Maybe you can find another part time job to fill up your time until you can make it to a full timer. [author0] I do I currently work fast food 2-3 days a week to make up the hours - but definitely don’t want to do that the rest of my life.
I just doubt anymore more full time positions will open up there cause no one else really wants to leave. Guess maybe I’ll stick this job out for a year, get experience and start looking for something full time [author1] I think if you can find a better job sooner than a year, go for it. Don't stick it out just for the experience. The experience in a full time job would be better.

[author0] My bf is nervous before sex I really need help on this one. I’ve (25M) been with my bf (22M) for about a year. Before we started having sex, he had informed me that he had very little sexual experience, as in he bottomed once and it was really bad. Like the top he was with barely prepped him, and wasn’t very gentle. I don’t know if the issues we have right now stem from that or not and I’d like your opinions.
My bf & I have had sex about 1-3 times a week for a year. And he still almost always looks nervous before we do it. He’s naturally a very anxious guy, so at the beginning of our relationship, I kinda blamed it on that. It’s always before and when I enter him. He seems tense, he’s blushing a lot everywhere and not just because he’s horny (it’s redness from nerves) and a lot of the time, his teeth chatter. And if you know him, you know that’s a sign that he’s pretty stressed out. After maybe a minute of actual sex, he relaxes and I can tell he enjoys himself.
Before anyone accuses me of being a shit bf: I prep him very well, lots of foreplay, ask for consent, and when I see he’s nervous I ask if he’s okay, that we can stop anytime, and I always start off gentle. I would never do anything to stress him out on purpose.
I talked to him about it. At first, he denied but then he confessed that yes he’s always anxious when we’re about to have sex. I felt horrible, but he reassured me that I was doing nothing wrong, and that the sex in itself made it worth it. I still feel bad, I don’t want him to be stressed out at the thought of having sex with me.
Could it be linked to his first bad experience? Could it still affect him? He’s pretty evasive on the subject, just assured me that he didn’t consider it rape, just bad. But the description of it kind of seems rapey to me. Or is it truly just because he’s naturally prone to being anxious? What do you think? [author1] What does it matter? You bringing it up probably just makes it worse for him. Ignore it unless he says otherwise. [author0] Because I don’t really want to just ignore the fact that he’s stressed out because of something we do together? If he has a real issue that I can help him with, I don’t just want to say ‘fuck it, I’ll ignore it’ [author1] It sounds like he already told you the root of his anxiety. If you make a big thing out of it you're going to push him away.

Super slimey is an understatement. Yet, they're delicious. [author0] Regarding Cornetfishes, neither my family nor my Arab people eat it. Only seen it being sold and bought in the local Bangladeshi quarters. The texture is much too mushy and slimey for my liking. Regarding Eels, I agree with you, they are very delicious!

[author0] A few champs who could genuinely use some jungle buffs With Riot continuing to buff non-jungle champs to be playable in the jungle, I think it'd be cool to see these champs get the same kind of love that Morgana and Teemo have been getting. The following are a handful of champs whom I think would be welcome additions to the jungle while also being relatively safe and simple to buff for the role.
Camille
Irelia
Kled
Maokai
Neeko
~~Sylas~~
And Renekton
You'll notice that a decent amount of these champions have been played in the jungle in the past. For instance, Camille and Sylas have both been played jungle in the past, and it's still possible, albeit not easy, to play these champs in the role today. Morgana was in a similar spot not too long ago, being a once strong pick that got nerfed out of relevancy. However, in 10.6 she received a buff that made her actually viable in the jungle. For these seven champs, I feel similar treatment is possible and should be considered. Predominantly, these champs only need to have their clears be more healthy, and they'd offer a decent amount of variety to the jungle pool if this aspect of playing them was made easier. However, I could also just be talking out of my ass, here. I'm not a game designer.
Edit: You know what, you guys are right, Sylas JG doesn't really need buffs. I'll strike that one. [author1] Yeah we ran the experiment of Camille jungle and it was absolutely reviled by everyone, even Camille jungle players were meta whores full of self hatred.
As a Kled main, this sounds like the most unfair thing to play against in the jungle, like he gets 3, runs into your jungle and kills you. His 1v1s are way too good to allow him to also jungle because if Kled could clear healthily his ganks would be insane.
Irelia why? Same with renekton
Maokai would be so unfun to play against, his ganks would be extremely overpowered with his point and click root along side his map and vision control with his saplings.
Sylas was very op when he was played jungle but I didn’t mind him.
Neeko running up to you invisible and hitting you with her 0 animation root sounds like fun.
Besides all the top laners you mentioned are better utilitised as split pushers anyway, and remember if you buff their clears your aren’t just buffing their jungle, you are buffing their lane as well, a la darius who had a big wr spike in top after his jungle buffs. [author2] can't speak to most of these champs but I know Maokai jungle has historically been relevant and a perfectly fine part of the jungle lineup. The ganks are strong, but it wasn't really a problem even back when his root had longer range. There are plenty of strong ganking junglers (Zac, Vi, Skarner, Voli) with similar/less counterplay and better clears.
The thing with Maokai, similar to other slow tank junglers, is that he is still vulnerable to being abused by stronger early game fighting junglers like Lee, Trundle, Xin Zhao. They can gank just as well while taking Maokai's cookies at the same time (not necessarily killing him, but just taking his camps all the time). [author1] I’m failing to see how how any of the junglers you have listed have less counter play when they all have dodge able cc while maokai has point and click ranged cc. [author2] You're right that Maokai's point-and-click root (and basically unmissable ult) is pretty high on the "well wtf was i supposed to do" list. His range with it is pretty low, though, and if he doesn't gank from the right direction a lot of champs can outrun him before he gets in range. Compare this to predator Skarner or Volibear or Rammus, who just run you down and click on you, Zac who has skillshots but insane ganking range, Vi with the best point-and-click ganking tool (on her ult, tho), or even like a Xin Zhao, who's CC isn't instant but still undodgeable if you can't put space between you and him, same as Maokai. [author1] Doesn’t maokai take mobis in the jungle because once he gets into range you can never escape [author2] I'm not sure actually, I haven't personally jungled w Maokai in years, but I suspect it's not worth it - might as well just go predator at that point. Do any junglers go mobis nowadays? [author1] Assassins do.

[author0] PPP bluevine approved same day Just filed PPP again today after filing thru. BOA and Kabbage. Got the approval this afternoon, thanks the friends here.
I filed both for the company and the personal ( I got 1099 too) but only got approved for the company. Dot know why not for both. But anyway, at least had some money in. Keep on waiting for others. [author1] how big was your loan if you don't mind me asking? 100k? [author0] Small, my company +personal self employed total around $12000, maybe this is the reason for fast approval? [author1] I applied to blue vine 4 hours ago and just received an update stating it has been submitted to the sba, how long after it was submitted did you receive approval? [author0] yes, this is a normal procedure notification. After this, you may receive another email saying you have an offer from BV now, this is your approval. I received in hours between . Different ppl may have different cases. Good luck. [author2] I hope so. I’ve read success, that people have answers/emails in hours. Mine has been pending since 9am this morning. I know I’m being impatient, but savings are starting to run dry. [author0] They have a phone number and email posted, I haven’t try yet. This is at least much nicer than BOA as I applied to. As others suggested, maybe you should try different small banks, who knows which one works.

[author0] [Giveaway] custom water bottles! CLOSED - contacting winners now!
I have some vinyl burning a hole in my craft table and some new water bottles that would be perfect for it. Let me make something for you!
Details:
* [These are the water bottles in question.](https://imgur.com/a/9QmdSk7) I have one of the red 24 ounce and a few of the clear/gray/blue 10 ounce. The smaller ones are double wall insulated, the bigger one is not.
* They are all dishwasher safe, though the vinyl will last a bit longer if you choose to hand wash them. (I am too lazy for that and so far the vinyl has been fine, so do with that information what you will).
* I can do a word or a very simple design on them, preferably one color. I have done up to seven letters on the smaller ones (see link above).
Rules:
* Tell me which bottle/s you would want. You don’t have to say the design—if you win I’ll be in contact about that.
* Be willing to give me your shipping address if you win.
* Do whatever you want (within the rules) in the comments. I like conversation, but it’s not required.
* Have an intro and be active in the community.
* US only—sorry, but the shipping is ridiculous out of the country.
* Winners will be randomized some time this weekend. [author1] Ooo, sounds yummy. What kind of ice cream? I'm okay about to head to bed. [author0] Chocolate chip cookie dough! My second favorite, but the store was all out of mint chip

[author0] Help with a BFA quest So I've hit 120 with a arcane mage, and I'm doing the halls of origination quest line. But I'm on the last boss and im struggling a lot. Usually I can kite with slows and freezes but the boss is a ranged caster and I can't do anything except try to interrupt or withstand the damage. Is there anything else I can do apart from burst him down as fast as possible? [author1] If you mean sun prophet thingy just keep well well back. Turn away from that initial attack spell and then remain at good distance and let magni take damage. [author0] Okay thanks, so the aggro will go onto mr bronze beard if I just go far enough back? [author1] Yep, don't steam in at first. [author0] Okay nice thanks :)

[author0] I Hope This Isn't A Dumb Question but... I just got my first super 8 camera! A **CHINON 20P XL.** And I was wondering... how do I convert to video once I shoot some stuff? LOL. Back in the day I had a Sony Handycam that took film but converting that to video was insanely easy. I'd imagine it'd be different for the Chinon I just bought though?
Since both cameras can take the same type of film, I was thinking that I could shoot with the Chinon and then put the film into the Handycam to convert to video? [author1] No that’s not how it works you have to develop the film before you can use it. It’s super difficult to do at home so I’d recommend you send it somewhere to get developed, but who knows what places are even open these days. [author2] I get my super 8 done at Cinelab Boston, you send in your film and they'll have it developed and scanned in under two weeks

[author0] Two weeks, two Golden Tickets. [author1] How many did it take? [author0] All day haha. Started opening packs at 14.1 million, so about 3.5 million in coins. GAGP, UL, Legend, and Gamechanger. [author2] 14.1 million, damn that’s a nice coin stack. I’d do almost anything for a QB GT at this point lol. Hope those NATs come sometime soon. How’d you get the coin stack man? [author0] Pulled GT Calvin last week, got 6M after taxes. Then just started clearing out my binder and doing the theme builders reroll for 1730 training. Went from almost 1700 items to 1100. Got lucky on the draft reroll as well, and saved color smash 98s. [author2] NICE! What’s the team looking like? [author0] 50/50 Packer theme team with a couple extra fillers.
Ended up buying GT Reggie after I pulled GT Allen. Almost sniped Reggie for 1.1 million. [author3] Reggie goes for that cheap?? Might grind to get him on my theme team then 🤔 [author0] He’s sitting right under 3 million now. [author3] So expensive!! I’m sure he’s a monster but is it worth it? Is he a noticeable difference on the field?

[author0] Say a prayer for our baby tonight... [discussion] My baby Luna turns 3 tomorrow (we have had her since she was 5 mo) and we had to rush her to the ER today.
Around 4PM today she went to the couch and took a nap for about 15-20 min. My boyfriend went to go cuddle with her and saw that she was soaking wet. We woke her up and she looked out of it. When we picked her off the couch the spot by her head was soaked. Water was pouring out of her mouth. When she stood up she was so lethargic she almost fell. I assessed her and saw that she was having muscle spasms. She fell to the ground and I immediately called the ER and brought her in. On the drive there was going in and out of it and I thought we might have to say goodbye. They brought her in and told us it was looking neurological and her brain seemed inflamed. They asked if he she had gotten into anything toxic and I couldn’t think of ANYTHING. We were with her all day. The only changes recently was that we adopted a 3 month old puppy who may or may not have his shots. I say may not because the person who we got him from said they were given vaccinations but no vet certificate. But, Luna is up to date on everything. We had his appointment set for the 2nd. Then, today after the rain there were a bunch of little frogs jumping around, she ran after one but didn’t eat one. I told the vet everything, but she said it seemed like something toxic that caused this sudden change. And she didn’t present like she licked a toad. After 2 hours of waiting I went inside to ask the tech what she thought and she said they were making her vomit, but she said it looks like the dog is high. I told her my boyfriend smokes concentrate but we lock it up in a drawer. But the only think I could think of is my boyfriend cleans his puffco with a qtip and she loves qtips. But I didn’t see her eat any and he always throws them away. She is going to be spending the night there, but she can walk again normally but they gave her some anti nausea medication that is similar to morphine and fluids tonight to make sure they flush the kidneys and liver. We are crazy worried, and have never experienced anything like this. The doctor has NO idea what it could be. When they gave her activated charcoal the only thing was food and grass in her stomach. Has anyone had a similar situation...?
Please say a prayer for our baby tonight. We need all that we can get. [author1] Sending love and prayers your way. I hope everything turns out alright. I had a similar situation a while back where our puppy got into some medication (someone we lived with took pain medication for cancer) that just happened to fall under the bed and he found it. We realized something was wrong when we walked in front of us and collapsed. The Vet and techs were almost sure he wouldn’t make it given how dangerous the medication he swallowed was and how small he was, but he pulled through and is healthy and happy today. Praying so so much for your pup, if you’re willing please give updates. [author0] Thank you so much this gives us some hope! I’m calling for an update at midnight so fingers crossed!

[author0] Need help buying an eyeshadow pallette on a moderate budget! Hey! So just to preface, I have a little sister who loves make up and doesn't often have the money to get new stuff, and her birthday is coming up so I'd love to treat her to an eyeshadow pallette she'd really like. I rarely wear anything other than eyeliner myself and I have absolutely no idea what's popular right now.
My budget is around £15-£30, I know that's probably not high enough for something in the top tier range but if anyone could point me to something good within that budget that would be great. Thanks so much in advance! [author1] Are you in the UK or Europe? I think I'd check out the revolution palettes, they have a ton of options! [author2] agree! they have so much variety and the palettes i have are crazy pigmented :)

Now he wants me to pay an extra $100/month for the remainder of my lease because I asked for a discount last month.. absolute scum imo. [author3] I'm pretty sure that's illegal, he would be violating the lease agreement, it's one thing to cut you a discount if both parties are in agreement on it but he can't just charge you extra while the original lease is in effect. Rent increases like that are only legal if it's like a month to month thing

[author0] COVID-19 Daily Update - April 30, 2020 **REPORT CHANGES**
1) One of the main aspects of opening up is adequate testing. How close are we to that goal? I looked at numerous experts, and they ranged from 400,000 up to 700,000 tests a day. I took a low "average" of 500,000 tests a day, which translatex to 1,000 tests per week. I changed the chart showing testing for the top 10 states to make it easier to see if and where we were getting close to that goal. The last bar represents the 3rd week displayed, so it won't equal the results of the week until the 7th day.
2) Page 1 of the report has had a gray area in it because data are not available for those items at the city level. I filled it with a tiny chart showing daily new cases in the US only, and another tiny chart on daily fatalities in the U.S.
**THE DATA - SAN DIEGO CITIES & COUNTY**
1) New cases in San Diego city = 62 and the county, 132. This is about what it's been running at for the past 3 or 4 days. Four fatalities, leaving the case fatality rate unchanged at 0.3%. Encinitas had no new cases and Carlsbad add two more cases, bringing its total to 54. Carlsbad has now had 3 straight days of new cases reported.
2) SD County had a slight uptick in daily new tests per 100K, to around 50, compared to the CA state level of 60. Remember, the goal considered safe is around 150 per day. The test positivity rate for the county ticked upward to around 11%, compared to around 7% for California.
3) The doubling rate for SD city is better, at around 25 days, compared to 22 days for the county. That's slightly better than California's rate, 20 days.
**THE DATA - OTHER LOCALITIES**
1) Completed Tests per Week - New York is the only state even close to the goal. California was 60% of the way there last week, and may get to 70% this week. Some states that have lifted most if not all restrictions, like Florida, Georgia, and Texas, aren't even close. Texas and North Carolina are in the worst shape, struggling to hit 50% this week. So, have we solved the testing problem? Not so much.
2) The US had another day with over 2,000 deaths, and we're close to 62,000. There's no sign it's slowing down, which means we'll reach 70,000 deaths by Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. For all those who argue COVID-19 is the same as the flu in terms of mortality, that will be the day they'll have to change their argument. California passed the 2,000 mark today with 2,014 deaths so far. The chart on new cases per day per 100K tells the story.
3) Daily testing went down for New York, the Georgia, Texas, Florida, and the U.S. Only California and SD County showed an increase.
4) The case fatality rate inched upward for Texas, and stayed about the same for everyone else. Georgia and Texas are running well ahead of the US, at 5% and 3.4% respectively.
5)Test positivity rates went up for New York, Florida, Georgia, and Texas as well as the US. They went down slightly for SD County and California.
**BOTTOM LINE**: Are the criteria for opening up being met throughout the US? The data tell the story.
​
Stay well everyone!

Most of us don't know anyone who contracted covid, much less someone who died from it. This is not to minimize the fate of California's victims in any way. But it's pretty clear that decisive and early action on the part of our government, along with the willingness of the vast majority of citizens to follow physical distancing guidelines, has made all the difference in the world. [author1] I grew up in NY, and the father of a friend of mine died. He fell at home and hit his head- he went to the hospital because the bleeding wasn't stopping. While in the hospital he contracted COVID and he was dead within days.
Such a shitty situation. [author0] What a horrible situation. The idea of dying and not being able to say goodbye to my family really freaks me out.

[author0] Kramers by Zwilling. Has anyone ever bought a Stainless steel Kramer by zwilling? I’m interested in the shape but have heard mixed reviews and don’t know anyone locally that has one to try in my hand myself. I’m thinking of buying a stainless steel since it’s cheap and if I like it move to the carbon steel version. Any thoughts or advice would be well received. [author1] I liked every zKramer I've ever had. I had 6 so far.
One time the western handle had a bit of a step between metal and wood .. but barely noticeable. Others reported pretty big gaps .. but returns are so easy, I don't understand why it's a problem.
You should know that zKramers are not thin knives, they are quite authoritarian. Height is awesome. Flat spot on 10" is aweosme.
Enjoy! [author0] Thanks appreciate it!

[author0] Ben has deactivated his twitter due to all the hate Hey Reddit,
First of all, I want to apologise. I know there has been a plethora of Ben support threads as of late to the point where people are starting to get annoyed by it. So I'm sorry for creating another one.
A few of you may remember my post from 2 years ago (or you may not) about how Ben changed my life. I was suffering heavily from depression and Ben helped me through it for the past 2 years. I am a completely different person now thanks to that man constantly supporting me through my journey. I couldn't be more positive. EDIT: Also want to point out I'm just a fan and never even met Ben in real life yet.
Now, I've noticed Ben has deactivated his Twitter and read an onslaught of vulgar tweets about him, attacking him and his character which has really upset me.
So many people are calling him racist for going after Jeremy.
They've called him "disgusting", "a piece of shit" among other things.
I just want to clarify that he's obviously not a racist. I've been friends with him for the past 2 years now. He's an American and a former marine. I'm an Iranian. We couldn't be more far apart and we all know our countries can't see eye to eye most of the time. I'm not white, I'm not American and I am gay and Ben has shown me nothing but support through everything.
I also just want to thank Reddit. At least as a social media platform, you guys are civilised enough to have common sense and human decency. There are negative comments about Ben every now and then (moreso now) but most are in regards to his gameplay, which are completely warranted. We are here to critique the players. At least you guys don't attack the cast on a personal level like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram does.
I don't know if there is any real point to my post. You aren't twitter and honestly, it's a waste of time trying to have a conversation on twitter but this thought of people considering Ben a racist really bothered me so I just wanted to clarify from my side that he absolutely is not.
I'm not here to tell people to be nicer. If you think Ben is the worst winner ever or wasted a spot this season, that's fine. I'm not here to defend Ben's gameplay but his character.
Anyways, thank you, Survivor subreddit for giving me somewhere to talk about my favorite tv show without being toxic. [author1] Putting aside the fact that he seems like an entirely decent human being, his gameplay has been pretty damn good. I know his social game is lacking in some respects, but he's been on the right side of most of the votes and hasn't really been targeted in an all winner season. That doesn't happen by accident. You could make a good argument that he's the worst player left, but he's still playing a great game. [author2] Cmon. You cant defend his play. At this time, he cannot go to the end with Jeremy, Tony, Sarah, Michele, Denise. And possibly not even with Nick. All Tony has to do is _glance_ at Ben and Ben coughs up whatever meager secrets he was holding.
> he's been on the right side of most of the votes
As was every goat in every season. eg, Becky Lee, Chelsea Meissner, Special Agent Phillip. "being on the right side" is not probative. [author3] Becky wasn’t a goat just because she couldn’t beat Yul [author2] uh, that's the primary and functional definition of a "goat." [author3] No it isn’t. She beats everyone on the jury and there’s an argument she beats Ozzy in a F2 by getting all the Yul votes. Becky had a lot of ways to win, it’s just that sitting next to Yul wasn’t one of them. [author2] Um... All Becky's plans included Yul.
So this "lot of ways to win" was shrunk down to "0 ways to win".
Plus, Yul had the ridiculous super-idol, that is played _after_ votes read out.
Anyone who wanted Yul to lose had to personally suicide themselves in order to further a third party's chance to wind (super unlikely). [author3] Remember that the F3 was a surprise twist that season, for the first time ever. Also that Yul’s super idol stopped working at F3, like Terry’s. Also that people of smaller stature were almost universally favored in F3 Immunity challenges up to that point. Also that Ozzy has been dominating Yul in individual challenges as well.
Becky’s plan was incredibly likely to be to cut Yul at 3.

[author1] when i say good morning/good afternoon/ have a good day and they don’t say it back and when people don’t say thank you. lack of manners is one of biggest pet peeves in general [author0] "Hi what can i get you today?"
"Yeah good thanks." [author1] “Good morning!”
“Get me a quarter pounder deluxe” [author0] No joke had a guy walk into our shop 2 days ago and just start talking his order. No greeting from him or the staff just walked and was like gimme a... register had other customers on it too. [author1] i hate people like that.

[author0] Tips on how to stay in gold? Hey, im currently silver 1 but im trying to keep myself in gold. i always fall down every game i get back up to gold. Any tips on how I can solidify my place in gold? I normally play Zofia Or Maverick on attack or Mozzie and Valkyrie on defense. [author1] You’re playing in a stack, right? I always get stuck with one of three groups. Tkers, people who leave, or people who are throwing to get to copper for memes. And I’m not saying just blame your team, by any means. But if you’re soloQing, you’re not usually gonna make it to gold and be able to stay there unless your aim and game sense are really good. Higher tiers of gold especially are when strat coordination becomes really important, so stacking is almost a must.
That being said, if you are in a stack, just work with your teammates to improve your play together. If you tend to play solo, I’d suggest trying to find at least two other people to play with, as playing as a three stack gives you full control over who gets banned and what objectives you play.
If you’re looking for a group, there are a few subs to help find players for the platform you play on. I’d also love to play sometime if you’re on PS4 [author0] I always soloqueue because I dont know where the best place to find people similar rank than me. Any apps I could use to find people to play with? Thanks. [author1] The official Ubisoft forums are always a good place to look, and the Rainbow Sox: Siege companion app also has a Looking For Group feature, but I believe that takes you to the aforementioned forums. I believe there’s also a sub called something like r/r6steams? In my experience that sub is usually a pretty decent community, with plenty of people willing to play and maybe even help you out with strats [author0] Thank you! Hopefully I can stay in gold if I do a 5stack. [author1] Here’s hoping! And remember, killing is important, but fragging out isn’t everything. If a site’s clear and you’ve got someone watching your flank, get that bomb planted! An objective win is still a win [author0] I am quite guilty to not planting the bomb and just killing everybody but then not even winning the round because they killed me. Easy wins can then turn into easy losses. [author1] Yeah, getting kill hungry can cost you a round a lot of the time. But once you get plants down more and have a team you can really communicate with, I’m sure you’ll at least get gold! Anyways, best of luck to you! [author0] What rank are you currently?

[author0] So where’s all the news outlets reporting this stuff? credible sources that aren’t blogs and random ass links from UFOfinderer.gg? Since sources seem to be either r/aliens or ufos...
And all the web links you dumbasses link are like aliensarereal.vr.yu.ru or ibelieve.co.uk or whatever the fuck dumb names these people come up with for their lame ass blogs. [author1] The Pentagon already released these same three videos back in 2017: [https://www.reddit.com/r/UFOs/comments/7kf85i/pentagons\_disclosure\_of\_advanced\_aviation\_threat/](https://www.reddit.com/r/UFOs/comments/7kf85i/pentagons_disclosure_of_advanced_aviation_threat/)
The bigger question people should be asking is, why is the Pentagon choosing to make a big show out of "releasing" videos they already released two and half years ago? [author0] There is no big show and no one gives a fuck.
It was heard of for one day and life was back to normal.
The pentagon probably didn’t give a shit back then because there are farrrrrr more pressing issues for the pentagon that a few videos of aircraft they couldn’t identify.
I’m in a sub of alien believers and I’ve already been linked the same garbage from a couple days ago twice now.
No one can give me anything credible that isn’t from UFOemporium.ji.zz [author1] \>The pentagon probably didn’t give a shit back then
There was the whole scandal with people going after Harry Reid for what they accused him of being wasteful spending by funding the Advanced Aerial Threat Investigation Program, which was the primary reason that the Pentagon admitted to both the fact that they had this secret UFO research program and that these videos were part of what the program had researched.
They gave plenty of fucks.

And a pentagon program, which has nothing to do with my argument. Great... they have a program. That means nothing to me.
So where are all the pictures and videos to back up all the garbage that people upload here? No clear pictorial evidence of one of these aircraft? An alien?
All you gave me was all talk and no actual evidence of someone going “here, this is a UFO, this is a clear photo of where we can see what it truly is” - not just a fucking dot in the sky.
Seems to me a whole lot of brain dead people seem to be able to pull out a camera and record that street light 1km down the road. Why can’t these personnel do the same? Why can’t someone who doesn’t suffer from tremors get a clear video/photo?
I mean the alien photos that have been uploaded are a joke. Grainy, black and white, or as if someone who’s never handled a camera before took charge. [author1] I never said that any of this was proof that those are aliens in these videos. I don't know when I personally became the representative of all the other bullshit that people post here. I was replying specifically within the context of *this* story about the Pentagon releasing these three videos... that they released once before already. [author0] Yes and I discredited that as someone else already linked that garbage. My argument was that you couldn’t provide me with anything else. Which you did not.
I would think this sub would be fast to jump at evidence other than what was put online 2 days ago. Which even then is just videos of dots to me. [author1] I just realized I misread your initial post. I thought you were asking why mainstream media isn't reporting on the UFO videos that they recently (and previously) released. My response was that they already did report on it two years ago.
I never meant to represent any hypothesis on where the UFOs come from or what they are.

[author0] CoreLogic: House prices up despite coronavirus. [author1] This is why it's important to look at data and ignore anecdotes (especially Reddit anecdotes). If we go by all the stories around here in the past month, everyone was talking about housing falling off a cliff and everything was suddenly 25% cheaper. [author2] It takes what, 6 weeks for property to settle? So we're basically at the point where people who bought right before the shutdown are settling on average. I'm not saying prices are going to collapse within that time but I wouldn't be surprised if prices fall significantly over the next 2 years.
Anyone who believes that prices are going to drop 25% in a month is just uneducated about the liquidity of the market among many other factors. [author1] Correct me if I'm wrong, but unlike ABS data, CoreLogic is not delayed and my experience historically had been that they captured movements quite accurately.
Unless COVID lockdown lasts 2 years I find it hard to see a scenario where house prices fall significantly, as interest rates are now effectively halved, and property development sector had been devastated by APRA and recent COVID situation. [author2] On their website it says this:
"CoreLogic Indices are constructed from the latest possible property sales information thereby avoiding the 6 to 8 week reporting lags that have previously plagued other published indices."
I don't entirely understand what that statement implies (not sure if reporting lag = settlement time lag or if this is additional) - maybe someone with more knowledge can chime in.
One of the posters on PropertyChat recently summarised a lot of my thoughts (and added to them) here:
https://www.propertychat.com.au/community/threads/will-property-really-plummet.45160/page-6#post-820656
The main point I would make is that we saw a 10 - 15% drop in values when the banks decided to actually lend people what they could afford. We're back to that place as the banks now know it is too risky to keep doing this PLUS we have all the additional issues. GG housing market. [author1] Keep in mind that what people can afford is based on expenses and interest rates. COVID will cut expenses and with interest rates going down, what people can afford will go up. [author3] What people can afford is also based on income and what risks banks are prepared to take in lending, and those two factors may push down what people can afford. [author1] Was it CBA who recently showed income had actually gone up since COVID as the stimulus was higher than the job loss.
Also the people who work casual and are likely to have permanent issues with employment due to this are not the demographic buying a house pre or post COVID. [author4] Exactly, like pilots and flight attendants right?... wait... [author1] If your argument is that 0.01% of the workforce is being affected, that actually helps my argument more than yours. [author4] Haha, yeah I was being facetious, sorry.
You are not wrong about the CBA data. However the banks I am pretty sure are being pretty cautious about those who are on gov subsidies. So in the end a huge bunch of the working population are now at a higher level of risk from the bank's perspective.

Try using Installer maybe? [author0] I unadded a couple repos that were giving the error before the bigboss repo, it seems to just change to random repos when I remove them. Other package managers don’t give this error [author1] Ok well at least you can narrow it down to an issue with zebra. Have you tried icleaner already [author0] Have not, somehow completely blanked on the fact that I had it. Will try it and will tell if there’s a difference

[author0] IPSec failing when there is an F5 device in the middle Hi Experts,
I know this was asked before but I still did not found any solution.
Scenario:
Site A(ASA)——(Internet)——(F5)—-(ASA)Site B
All ike parameters are identical.
Public IP on F5 and private IP on ASA Site B.
Public IP on ASA Site A.
Virtual server created on F5 and a route pointing to ASA Site B.
Virtual Server got all ports set for the service port.
NAT-T enables on ASAs.
ADDITIONAL INFO:
In Site B I am receiving the proposals from Site A with the original public source and destination IP.
Any other ideas?
Thanks in advance!! [author1] SNAT issue on the F5? Does ASA B see the proposals for IKE?? [author0] I did set the SNAT with the correct IP addresses.
Tried Virtual server type on IP forwarding and layer 4.
ASA B is no longer receiving the proposals.

[author0] Laptop with these specs? What is the nicest and/or best quality laptop I can find with these specs:
\- i5-9300H CPU
\- 1660ti GPU
\- 16gb RAM
\- 15.6 inches and at least 120hz screen
Preferably would like it to be of slimmer design and without a huge gamer look to it. Budget is $1000 USD but willing to go over if worth it. Also willing to wait for deals if some may come up in the near future. Thanks! [author1] For this price you can get TUF A15 from ASUS with far more powerful 8-core ryzen 4800H, 16gig and 1660ti. Why do you even need 9300h when you have such a good option with new AMD mobile CPU? [author0] Because when it comes to gaming the processor is going to be limited by the GPU regardless. The ryzen 4800H offers no signficant real-world application or benefit for me since I'm not going to be doing anything besides gaming and school work. Additionally, I'm not really a fan of the A15 design. [author1] What about last gen of Zephyrus G? It's got Ryzen 7 3750H which is about 7-10% weaker than 9300H but it also runs a lot colder during gaming even after applying undervolting for the i5. It also have 1660Ti MQ, but it's thin, lightweight and its battery life is quite impressive for a gaming laptop [author0] I'll look into it, thanks for the suggestion! [author2] Warning (just from my experience owning one for a bit and a few buyer reviews I found too) I found it to have a buzzy coil whine from the middle of the bottom plate. So if you have sensitive ears it may bug you. Otherwise great laptop for the money as well as surprising build quality. [author0] I don't think I'm going to get it. Great laptop but a little too much of a gamer look for my preference. But thank you.

[author0] Next discs to get . . . Advice please! So I am thinking its time to get some new discs. However not sure what would be good for my skill level. All my current discs have the flight pattern they should have but I still only throw 300-325 max. So the list below is what is in my bag. I really like MVP/Axiom from throwing friends discs. I am looking for a putter and distance in the very least. What should be my next couple discs?
My bag:
Discraft Nuke SS, Avenger SS, Buzz SS, soft APX
Lat 64 River, Saint Pro
DD. Renegade
Innova. Mako
Thanks! [author1] For driving, Thunderbirds are good. Maybe Teebird. As for putters, this is crazy personal. Firm, soft, between? Drive with it? Approach, too? Push or spin putting? [author0] Soft and spin. And i would use it for approch but i may want a hard putter for that.
