the_galactic_squid | About 1365 here and I finally did start regretting it. Having kids made a big difference, also. One day you just wake up and wonder what you could have done in that time.
Keep in mind that this is across all my toons and over two accounts in the time the game has been out. This also is just one game. This does not include all of the RIFT, ESO, Vanguard, EQ2, Guild Wars 2, Age of Conan, Secret World, and all the other MMOs.
The scary thing is there are people who've spent a lot more than that.
Hell, there are people who have 1000+ on one toon.
**TL;DR: We're talking days while everyone else is talking hours. This would equate to 32,760 hours. Fuck just doing the math and typing that in I want to cry.** | About 1365 here and I finally did start regretting it. Having kids made a big difference, also.

theincourup | I have an unknown amount of playthroughs and hours devoted to the Mass Effect trilogy. From Shepard to the Multiplayer to the "horrible" ending, I love those games. Some of my fondest memories are from the franchise, and I feel like the galaxy is more expansive than that of Star Wars. (And trust me, I love Star Wars too.) I'm still learning something new about these games each time I play.
I also spent a crazy amount of time with Kingdom Hearts. The only one I haven't beaten is Birth By Sleep, though I'm currently working on it, and have played through all the rest numerous times.

mrfeuchuk | Mine is Final Fantasy Tactics. I've must have beaten that game at least 50+ times by now. And I play to completion. As in I want my motherfucking Summoner to get hit by the motherfucking Zodiac summon spell and survive. I've played the game with using all 5 characters per battle or Ramza only. A few of my games took months to play because of the whole Zodiac summon thing. Collecting the best equipment in the game is quite difficult, especially when you only have one character to play with. I also own every single port of the game. PS1, PSP and iOS. I've played the two other final fantasies but not as much as FFT:WoTL.

talanton | I remember playing Total Annihilation with a buddy against the AI. We quickly destroyed the vanilla AI on its hardest setting. So we found a non-cheating AI, Mostly Harmless. It wrecked us, so we started against one easy MH, and built up to the point we were taking down multiple hard MH AI. We then played against some real life friends who weren't as fanatic about practicing as we were. We had massive flights of aircraft done before they had their infrastructure up.

CheeseDeluxe | I don't know why, but I just can't get into SSB4. It feels...lacking; Melee felt new and fresh over SSB, and then Brawl introduced Subspace Emissary. SSB4 has Smash Run/Smash Tour. =_=; I don't know. Maybe I just ought to have more people over at my house instead, because playing online feels lacking. You don't have the same kind of shouts.

SonOfTheNorthe | It's really not as hard as most people make it out to be. 90% of mobs can be beaten by blocking, having their attack bounce off your shield, and then counterattacking. 90% of bosses can be beaten by circle-strafing them. You just need to be patient. It's challenging, in that it's very punishing. If you make mistakes, you get bitch-slapped for it.
Fortunately, every time you die, you always know exactly why you died, and you learn from it. You know that you attacked to soon, you dodged too late, you didn't conserve your stamina, you pulled too many enemies at a time, you misread the cue for an attack, ect. It takes time to learn, but once you learn it, it becomes like breathing.
Plus, the level design is top-notch. I've never seen anything like it. You're almost constantly going up or down,. There's like one loading screens unless you die. It's all one, giant cohesive world with a lot of shortcuts. You can see places you've been, and place you'll be going, far off in the distance. You can be exploring for an hour and find a different route into a place you were at hours ago.
If you pick the Master Key as a starting gift, you can sequence break the shit out of the game, getting weapons and armor way before "intended". Even if you don't, a good player can get a weapon, without the master key, that's normally found half-way through the game, just a three minute run from the end of the tutorial. You just gotta dodge all the infamous skeletons. Doesn't matter if you die after you get it, you keep everything you've collected (except souls) even after you die. And even then, if you go back to the place you died, you can collect all your souls you had from your last death.
Speaking of weapons, nearly all of them have their own moveset, and all of them that aren't obviously terrible can carry you through the whole game as long as you upgrade them. It's all about preference.
Yeah, I love this game a lot. I could go on for hours. You can play for hours too, with PvP and Co-op! Challenge runs, like playing through using only a shield as a weapon! Fist weapons only! Make a character with green skin and PvP cosplaying as The Hulk! No healing! I'll stop now.

NephilimXS | I agree and disagree.
EQ definitely set the stage for WoW to be the success that it is. But MMOs are certainly not based off of EQ.
EQ borrowed concepts from already existing games at the time such as MUDs (text based Multi-User Dungeons), Existing MMOs such as Ultima Online, 1st person RPGs such as Elder Scrolls (1 & 2). and the biggest common denominator these all share is Dungeon's and Dragons.
If EQ was never released, games such as Wizardry or Ultima would have likely ventured forward and eventually done what EQ did, most likely not far after the 1999 release.
Brad Mcquiad and company was smart enough to get in the front line of where this Genre and sub section of RPGs was headed, and capitalized.
tl;dr The industry standard was already moving in the direction EQ was, the Team just did it first. | I agree and disagree.

Lord_Mormont | Yes, yes you are. And I'd also like to predict that what you're missing is the reward mechanism in your brain for this sort of behaviour (you no doubt have a reward mechanism in your brain, it just isn't impressed by this sort of behaviour.)
I do play RPG's (Skyrim, etc) so I have some idea of what would be in store for me if I played a MMO. Mostly, it's the addiction of leveling up and getting new gear. You work a gnome wizard to get him to level 2, and bam! You have new spells, buffed stats and can kill things you couldn't before. BUT, you also find that there are bigger monsters out there, and if you just leveled up to 3, you could take them down, and get their gear. BUT....
All the big games have these reward systems (Battlefield, COD, WoW, LoL) and they reward not only just more gameplay, but certain types of gameplay. So yes, you are level 100 colonel in BF4, but have you killed 25 people with the blowtorch? No? Oh....well then.
I don't mean to imply that reward systems are inherently evil--in fact, I'm such a bad BF player that I appreciate that the game rewards me for things other than killing other players, because I am horrible at that. So for you, that sort of ranking up offers no promise of sweet, sweet serotonin. You may well be rewarded for doing things like participating in a bike race, or getting an orchid to bloom, or somesuch. The behavior-reward system in your brain is responsible for lots of bad addictions (gambling, alcohol, drugs, sex, etc) if you abuse it, and really MMO addiction is no different because you're hitting that serotonin switch over and over and over again. One more mission, one more raid, then I'll go.
So really, you're not missing anything.

elpedro84 | If you are going only by things that are "canon," 6 movies, Clone Wars, and Rebels, then I cannot. Boba as a kid is just a more annoying version of the clone troopers, and in the original trilogy he has like 3 minutes of screen time and while he has cool looking armor and a cool looking ship, he doesn't have any personality.

rurne | I went to school with [one of the elites]( and her track record with the fawning new generation reads like "Not my job to educate you, shitlord. Read and indoctrinate yourself instead of extrapolating your own ideas."

MercuryChaos | I’m assuming that “this” means the effects you experienced from the Adderall and Vyvanse. And it sounds like you’re concerned that because of this, the treatments that are normally used to mitigate stimulant side effects won’t work for you. I’m not aware of any reason why this would be the case, and I think you should talk with your psychiatrist about this.
It’s *possible* that at least some of what’s happening to you is [the nocebo effect]( but all that means is that your brain/body are acting in response to something other than the physical action of the drug. It doesn’t mean that your symptoms aren’t real. The truth is that your brain often responds in very similar ways to things that might seem like they’re totally different (such as [a physical injury and rejection.]( and so something that you’re *worried* might happen can provoke the same kind of response that a physical danger would. Even if you don’t have an anxiety disorder independent of ADHD, it’s still possible that your brain’s fear response has gotten stuck in a self-reinforcing feedback loop.
**tl;dr** - as far as I know, psychosomatic anxiety isn’t fundamentally different from anxiety caused by anything else. If your cardiologist has cleared you to use stimulants and you’d like to try them again, talk with your psychiatrist about your options for moving forward. | I’m assuming that “this” means the effects you experienced from the Adderall and Vyvanse.

It’s possible that at least some of what’s happening to you is [the nocebo effect]( but all that means is that your brain/body are acting in response to something other than the physical action of the drug. It doesn’t mean that your symptoms aren’t real. The truth is that your brain often responds in very similar ways to things that might seem like they’re totally different (such as [a physical injury and rejection.]( and so something that you’re worried might happen can provoke the same kind of response that a physical danger would. Even if you don’t have an anxiety disorder independent of ADHD, it’s still possible that your brain’s fear response has gotten stuck in a self-reinforcing feedback loop. | as far as I know, psychosomatic anxiety isn’t fundamentally different from anxiety caused by anything else. If your cardiologist has cleared you to use stimulants and you’d like to try them again, talk with your psychiatrist about your options for moving forward. |
wickedcable | No problemo. One suggestion I've found online is calling Nintendo and saying that you purchased a new 3DS but no longer have access to the old one (it broke, you sold it, etc.). They should be able to transfer your NNID, friends list, and licenses (since you can apparently only have one 3DS linked to your account). So if you have mainly used cartridges and don't have many eshop games whose saves you care about, you can get a fresh start on your new system and download those games again. Also, there are some games that save on the SD card instead of the cartridge. I'm not sure if you have any and if you care about that.
tl;dr - There may be a way to transfer your NNID, but you may have to sacrifice your digital game's saves. | No problemo.

Dannilise | I've been a WoW player for 8 years. I've sunk enough money into that game to make a substantial downpayment on a house, or cut into my student loans, but I've made such good friends through that game I consider it worth it.
I've been to Canada to meet some of my guild mates. I've got places to stay in Kansas, California, Seattle, Virginia, Connecticut, Florida, Indiana if I need a couch to surf on. They have a place here in Texas if they ever want to visit.
We hang out in Axon/Mumble/Ventrilo/Skype even when we're not playing. We Facebook message each other. We've all known each other for such a long time we know about family issues and personal triumphs. I love my friends.
It can cut into my personal time on the weekends, I suppose. It's hard for me to want to go out to a bar and spend a bunch of money on drinks when I can just do $15/mo to do stupid stuff with people I already know I enjoy. I would like to start dating and so on, but there's this caveat of "will they understand this hobby and how I feel about it". I've seen the hobby (and the game) destroy other people's lives because they just let it consume all of their time.

scottg96 | Not having a grid to work with, for starters. Underground assets seem to just float and that can mess with your depth perception, especially in an isometric view like RCT2.

twint7787 | Sure, but I never said they said it was doomed but you can pretty much hear in their tone that they have super low expectations for universal apps (aka they don't think its going to be the cure all people want it to be). If you don't listen to Windows Weekly podcast check it out. In the last episode with Brad and Paul they are pretty tepid about universal apps because they (we) have heard the same thing since Windows Phone 7.... Just wait until 7.5, 8, 8.1, now 10.
Besides their sentiment there is still no reason for someone to make a universal app. I keep hearing about this larger audience that potential developers will be able to reach but we have no idea what the adoption rate of Windows 10 will be, and also there are apps that do not need a desktop/Xbox counterpart. In the case of the latter, even if there would be a reason to make a desktop/Xbox counter part there is no reason to make the mobile version in the first place because there isn't enough users to justify it.
Throw that on top of the fact that it seems a lot of young developers have some sort of animosity towards MS and it just spells an uphill battle.
In that same podcast Brad brings up the point that, apparently, a lot of people in the tech industry feel we are headed towards just carrying a phone (mobile PC) that we can dock in to a larger screen to basically be our computer for everything. I'm not sure whether I agree or not but its interesting that a lot of people feel that way. More importantly Brad felt like MS basically knows they lost mobile and will just carry the mobile part of Windows along until we get to this point where we are docking our phones in to larger screens.
Wow that was a lot, sorry.
TL;DR They don't think it's doomed but they don't think it's going to help much either. There are flaws in the thinking of universal apps and their applications by users in this subreddit.

anothering | Well...for more than a month now I have been taking 20mg fluoxetine per day (for moderate anxiety+insomnia and some mild depression/ocd) in combination with daily 15mg extended release dexmethylphenidate (focalin) or less for ADHD, so my experiences are likely somewhat different. I'm a bit lost with my situation so below I'll explain my experiences thus far.
Within the first week I found myself more upbeat, sociable, and engaged but as time went on (and school became more demanding) I found this wore off.
Over time I feel as though I have "mellowed out" a bit, my appetite has increased (from almost never to semi-regularly, i.e. anxiety reduction), but I am finding myself overeating even when I'm not hungry.
Lately I have been more mellow and finding sleep a bit easier and more refreshing (still could be better), but for reasons beyond my understanding, whenever I take focalin I have pretty consuming edginess (physical symptoms of anxiety) in addition to a strong desire to seek instantly gratifying things, such as binge-eating unhealthy foods, and avoid uncomfortable things, such as studying, reading, etc. (this is very frustrating, and relatively new).
In this stressed state I also find myself super-aware of my strong heartbeat and pulse around my body. I want to shake my legs, tap my fingers, do some sort of physical movement to diminish my edgy feeling, which is not something I have experienced in years. I also sort of enter a malaise with mental fogginess.
Further, I have been experiencing occasional twitching (perhaps myoclonic jerks) lately, which are more abundant when taking the focalin.
I know that a large percentage of people taking fluoxetine experience altered libido/arousal, but I don't seem to be affected.
I'm sort of in a limbo state and I'm avoiding taking the focalin when possible because I enter such a negative state.
**TLDR**; 20mg prozac + 15mg or less focalin extended release per day - anxiety increasing with focalin, decreasing without, sleep somewhat improved, new states of mental agitation/fog/malaise/funk. Overall I gather from my psychiatrist that the combo is safe and tolerated well usually...just not in my case...

EatMoreCupcakesNow | Let me tell you a story:
I was in a Co-Op queue with 3 other friends, simply because we couldn't find a match in PvP. Beat Day 1 and 2 pretty easily, but on Day 3, we fought a Kraken on Aviary. This AI Kraken was actually a bit annoying, just kiting us everywhere and spamming Vortex. We had a team of Val, Abe, Cabot, and Hyde. We got a nice dome on it at Stage 1, and got about half it's health off. Then the dome dropped. Kraken started flying away, and both Val and Abe hit it at the same time with their respective slows, while I was trying to do as much damage as I could with my Minigun. Kraken landed pretty quickly, thanks to the Tranqs and Stasis Grenades, and Cabot and I proceeded to do the stupidest thing I've ever seen. We chased after a **Kraken** with a Flamethrower and the Damage Amp. Every time it tried to take off, it fell right back to my big grin and my even bigger flame. We just chased after him, Abe and Val spamming their respective slows, while Cabot and I just had fun going to town on it.

WontLetMeTypeHangul | How I got over my toxicity:
A while ago, I was your average silver ADC Main, and I got pissed off A LOT. Eventually, I got so mad at the game, I gave up. I said "Instalocking Nidalee, every game, every lane" I stopped talking in chat and communicated only through pings. When I did talk, i would only say things like Nids quote's, or just put <3's when deserved. I generally never get mad at the game anymore and tend to play for fun alone.

Just do it and you will feel better.

Just do it and you will feel better. | i wish i was a better person so i can tell the girl i love that i so do . Ask her out if you think you can make her happy otherwise you will never know and you will stay in the friendzone and trust me it is not a good zone |
Dissentor | I'm a landlord in Texas, not Georgia so any specific Georgia laws are unknown to me and hopefully a lawyer will be around shortly, but it's really late.
Your lease allows them access for this, so they can legally come in and inspect. They cannot go through your belongings but can open pantries, closets, etc and inspect for damage. Every landlord I know does this monthly, usually when I do I simply make a quick lap around and make pets haven't eaten window sills, no water leaks etc. You might be the perfect tenant, but most aren't and most don't report "minor" problems that are or can lead to huge problems.
I can't imagine this is actually going to be an invasive search as much as a "yep, the building is still here", especially since this isn't university affiliated housing.
Tl;dr: they (most likely) can come in and look. | I'm a landlord in Texas, not Georgia so any specific Georgia laws are unknown to me and hopefully a lawyer will be around shortly, but it's really late.

kmanmx | Hmm, not quite. Simple due to the fact you can't watch native 4K content on a 4K HMD.
If you want to sit in your simulated theater with a screen in front of you, it's not going to be able to display a 4K image. The resolution of the theatre 'screen' will be quite a bit lower.
You'll have 2048h and 2160h per eye of resolution. So even if the theatre screen spanned the entire FOV, you could still only achieve half 4K horizontal resolution. For a FOV filling 4K theatre screen you will need an 8K display. And to simulate a screen off in the distance at full 4K, it is going to need to be ~12K display at a guess.
TL;DR Not if you define 4K content as a perfect theatre replacement. Need more resolution. | Hmm, not quite. Simple due to the fact you can't watch native 4K content on a 4K HMD.

Bukakemaru | Well the streamers would choose gods based on what their own beliefs and personalities are. Subsequently the viewers would select the streamer based on their own views over time.
I watched Jordan because his videos introduced me to Mianite, but I keep watching Jordan because he attempts to balance as per Ianite's beliefs and that is what my take in life is as well. Then I like to watch Tucker or Sonja and finally Tom with the least preference (I'm not someone that wants to see the world burn).
If Jordan becomes more Dianite like and I find that I cannot agree with his choices then I would most definitely watch Tucker's stream. For example, I didn't agree with him taking Tucker's chickens and throwing dig spells at his house. So I skipped the rest and just went to watch Tucker's version.
Tl;dr version: people watch specific people due to personality and Jordan's viewers tend to come to reddit. Not so much we love Jordan but agree with his views due to his god. | Well the streamers would choose gods based on what their own beliefs and personalities are.

snowzilla | So I'm reminded of Neil DeGrasse Tyson regarding people who claim to have been abducted by aliens, he just said to bring something back - like a new alien technology as proof. So if you are a professional surfer, you should have some pictures of you with your sponsors.
The other thing I would do is just tone it down on the stuff that people may not believe. So if you dated a b-list celeb, then just say his/her first name and emphasize why this person was crazy or why it didn't work out. People are interested in failure more than success.
Emphasize stories vs a brag list. Instead of "I was once a professional surfer" say "I tried surfing once and was pretty decent at it so I thought I would enter the 'Big Kahuna' contest. I was super nervous, yada yada yada, and that's when a rogue wave took my swim trunks right off with everyone watching." The more details the more believable.
Lastly I wouldn't not talk about who you are. I think the disbelief comes from people being more interested in themselves, and also wondering why a person with such an remarkable life would be hanging out with them.
tldr: evidence, stories, failure, humility

MGS has some of the best female characters in video games, and it's also one of the games that deals with sexual themes in a way that is more interesting than just showing it. I loved the humor, the tension between some characters, the fact that we can find characters that aren't heterosexual... From this perspective, I am glad that some female characters can be shown as sexy, but not objectified; even after Snake finds Meryl, after having had two opportunities to see her in her underwear and one mention of her butt, he respectfully listens to her telling of her childhood and her reasons to be here, as well as her emotions about what just happened. And she then feels free to tease him a bit on codec. This alternation of serious and fun is, for me, unique of MGS, and thus it makes me mind less the fact that Kojima uses eye candy.
On the other hand, I am less sure of what he meant in MGS4, PW and GZ. Pairing PSTD with sexualization, or having a villain reveal herself in both her motives and some lingerie, to be afterward sexually tortured (or used to torture another character) in the next game seems a bit delicate for me. I can see the boldness of bringing such issues in a media that is still relatively young, and I get that Kojima can't succeed from his first try, but I did feel bothered, and still am.
For Quiet, the saddest part for me is that she is the only female character we can expect in MGS V, from the trailers. And as such, she can't have any variety, of course, but it goes in the easy way to just portray a "sexy companion" who can be both useful in combat and nice to look at.
It's not about whether male character are sexualized or not, they are of course, but the context is different. While I will welcome every attempt to bring variety to the portrayal of male characters, it won't change the fact that I am looking forward to female characters who won't show it in my face all the time. I would have loved that if Strangelove never appeared in bikini, even after you unlocked it, for example, to show how she refused to be seen this way. It's just a tiny thing that would have made me smile more wholeheartedly at a game that I otherwise love.
TL;DR, this series makes more efforts than a lot of other games, but I am with you to say that it's not enough to just praise it and ignore the bad elements. I am still divided, as I'm often surprised in positive ways, but I wish that some female character would dress as they feel, instead of how people (not all people) want them to look. But the improvements put in these games for more and better female characters will probably help this evolution, while the sexy parts, as uncomfortable as it can make some of us feel, won't hopefully slow this process, because it's still mostly seen as normal, and it's probably not something that any AAA games will try to change. Be them right or wrong on that choice. | I agree, even though I understand why most people don't like to hear that.

naalnish | I was in the exact same boat as you, I had two (very positive!) interviews with the SM and ASM at one location, then never heard back after two weeks. Called back a few times to find I wasn't needed there anymore, but that they'd send my info to another place. So I wound up having a third interview there, and they actually had their stuff in order (although they're busier by the numbers) and I was formally hired within about a week.
tl;dr: it's almost certainly not you, and more likely that they *are* super busy and from the sounds of it, perhaps a bit disorganised. I would sit tight if I were you, and if you want to call back, maybe call on Wednesday (if you know when in the day they are least busy and the manager is present, try and call then?) | I was in the exact same boat as you, I had two (very positive!) interviews with the SM and ASM at one location, then never heard back after two weeks.

tjqka | I think the article is well written, but is getting a little judgmental to conclude that because there was an accident, obviously flights should have been cancelled/diverted. Just because you are wet doesn't mean you shouldn't have been outside in the rain. You might have your umbrella but it fails, your boots start to leak.....something. Commercial air travel is designed to deal w/ adverse conditions: planes w/ systems that can shoot approaches all the way to the runway, deicing equipment, etc. I was in Denver last week during a massive snowstorm. Planes taxiing on tarmacs that we absolutely covered in ice and snow - couldn't even see the cement. But, Denver, like New York, is used to working in these conditions to keep flights moving. It has been reported that the two planes that landed on that runway prior to this guy both reported good braking conditions, and I can tell you from working at a lot of airports that the ground crew makes regular runs down the runway to check for foreign debris, ice, runway condition, etc. Stuff like this is the reason high perf runways are grooved and crowned. But does all that mean that once in a while a few of the 1,632 things that have to happen just right for an airliner to land safely in any kind of IMC might go wrong and an accident happen? Of course not, but it doesn't necessarily mean the decision making process was flawed either.

uber_maddog | The article seems pretty accurate about how weather impacts a particular flight. But I don't buy his premise that this crash "is exactly why airlines cancel flights for snow." Airlines rarely cancel flights because a particular airport is being deluged with snow. There is the rare "Boston's in a blizzard, airport closure," but usually airports in cold climates are prepared for snow removal. I'm based at Chicago O'Hare, and they have a huge fleet of snow plows and removal equipment ready for the next storm. They are usually able to keep up until true blizzard conditions hit.
That being said, when there is moderate to heavy snow the airport must continually clear the runways, which means they have to close one or two at a time for plowing, thus reducing the number of runways for operations. When this happens the flow of inbound and outbound traffic slows in number of arrival/departures per hour, and flights start getting delayed. Add to this the fact that departing aircraft are requiring deicing service, further delaying each departure by 15-25 minutes each.
The airlines have built their schedules around the airport’s optimal departure/arrival rate. When this rate decreases during a snow storm and flights begin incurring significant delays an airline’s flight schedule at other airports begins to be impacted because these delayed inbound aircraft are not available to continue on to the next destination. And then the problem begins to snowball, no pun intended. At some point the airline, in conjunction with FAA air traffic managers, decides to cut their losses and start cancelling flights and juggling the remaining flight schedule (a Herculean task when a hub is affected.)
tl;dr The most common reason for flight cancellations is that the airline and airport can’t keep up the scheduled pace of operations in the snow.

At some point the airline, in conjunction with FAA air traffic managers, decides to cut their losses and start cancelling flights and juggling the remaining flight schedule (a Herculean task when a hub is affected.) | The most common reason for flight cancellations is that the airline and airport can’t keep up the scheduled pace of operations in the snow. |
davieon | You have some valid points. But like others have mentioned your argument of "twitch should make it's own software, like OBS, because OBS will die" is bad. If anything twitch should actively attempt to engage with such communities and guide them or even help them. OBS is an open source community on Github and they're rewriting their software to be multi-platform available on the issue is the number of people contributing is limited and it could be so much faster with more skilled people, it would especially be good if somebody from twitch helped as that would possibly enable to program to handle handshakes with twitch servers to be handled better i.e. better quality/connections.
Now the rest I'm not exactly sure, I mean regarding this so called DJWheat dude. But I totally agree with the API, the API is fucking ridiculous.. I tried making my own twitch bot and am actively working on it on github (private) however I just couldn't figure out how to do a simple 'uptime' command, until I found out that one would have to query the system and check for multiple places to see if it's online or offline ( That could be handled so much easier.. and it was previously. In one of the previous versions there was an "up_time" variable that could be queried and it would return something, iforgets what.
HTML5 they said they'd work on but it would be a long one. If anything they need to work on more ingest servers.. I'm streaming from Canada and it's just been horrible, why does the EU get several ones our Chicago one is removed and Canada gets nothing?
Overall yes there are issues, yes they can be handled better and more efficiently, yes the entire thing needs to be recoded because my total views haven't updated for the past 4 days and I've streamed 2 of those and have +20 new visitors so that's at least +20 views. Also it's unacceptable that the follower count on some other ppls stream is 0 at some point, like the only reason that is allowed to happen is if during load-time the server was unable to reach the database and retrieve the value but a simple refresh should fix it. Or if they're caching the follower count which also makes sense, then if(LastCount > Now) {echo LastCount} else {echo Now} and not 0 where Now would store the possibly failed value being 0.
Heck twitchcon is even a terrible idea, too much money will be invested in that stuff.. I was hoping more ingest servers, better infrastructure just general backbone upgrades and not a stupid con that costs tons to build, facilitate, and manage.
Fuck they need to fix the chat feature even more than do anything else.. it's horrible.

unph4zed | You're talking about fluff. The important API features are already there. Oauth with IRC opens the door for endless creativity. What is it that you think needs to be needed? Is it the same thing I want or what a partner wants? The problem I see with a lot of streamers that come on this subreddit is that they are looking for chat bots, flashy follower notifications, donation trackers, and other ‘features’ that they think is going to make their stream successful. What they need to be doing is streaming consistently and showing off their personality. I’m not saying there is nothing to be improved or added. It’s just a low priority and I hope it stays that way.
I have never once visited a team site that provides anything extra to my Twitch viewing experience. Nor have I been compelled to subscribe to someone so I can get access to a team site. It’s nothing but fluff. Some may find it nice but my guess is that the large majority of people subscribing will be doing so because the stream is entertaining.
Twitch is as transparent about HTML5 as most publicly traded companies are during their quarterly earnings calls. It’s to be expected. It’s nice when the engineers throw some information our way but it’s naïve to expect regular updates. If that post you quoted is supposed to be a road map I hope you don’t navigate often.
**tl;dr** Additional API features should be a low priority. HTML5 is coming, be patient.

jdoe74 | I own 2 corporations. An LLC, and a SUB S corp.
Yes the tax laws favor corporations. I will attempt to explain.
A Sub S corp is a flow through entity. S crops do not pay taxes. My corporation provides me and my wife wife each a company car. We have to calculate our personal mileage an pay taxes on it. No big deal. The rest of the expenses including gas and maintenance are paid for by my company. When I purchased my company from the previous owner we did a private financing deal. I take distribution from the company to make the payments, I get to write off the interest. I pay tax on the principal. Remember this washes through to my personal tax return.
S corp rules I have to take an appropriate wage and pay social security, state, local, and federal taxes on it. I do that. My LLC operates as a holding company for the real estate my business operates in. So I basically rent space to myself. Why would I do this? The LLC rental income is not subject to social security tax.
According to GAAP/IRS we can utilize deprecation on the building and the fixed assets of the s corp. This reduces the income that flows through to my personal return.
For my final act, my S Corp has ~10 FTE's. I offer SHOP health insurance, so my business get a tax credit.
You might remember that an S corp doesn't pay taxes - so where does the tax credit go? Answer: it flows through on my K1 to my personal return. What does this mean?
On $220K of income in 2014, using all maximizing all deductions and credits, I not only had a $0 federal tax obligation for the entire Year, I have a $1K tax credit carryover for 2015.
None of these benefits are available on W2 income.
TL;DR: Rich people wrote the tax rules, most people don't understand how any of this works. Profits > wages.

manzielsworld | The Hornets have a pretty ideal schedule for the rest of the season as Mo Williams is really carrying them at the point position -- which has been their struggle without Walker. If Jefferson can stay healthy and players like Zeller and Henderson play consistently and do their part, they should take a seed.
The Heat definitely have the most favorable schedule. If they can manage to take down the Nets, Celtics, and those small market teams, then they can afford to lose a game or two to the Cavs or the Blazers finishing off the season strong.
Indiana is hot no doubt, but they have a real rough stretch coming up. Unless coaches decide to sit players closer to the playoffs I don't see them winning over 50% of the remaining games. Paul George will most likely only be fired up if they make the playoffs. No knock on the team at all, but West and Hibbert's inconsistency may lose them the race.
The Nets can't hit a game winning shot for their lives (with the exception of Jack's the other night) and don't win games in overtime and when they count. And I feel like the Jackson trade actually made the Pistons worse. Thought they really had a good thing going with Augustine. Their schedule isn't too awful and they are healthy. May be the dark horse in the race but being bottom 4 in the East at this point I really can't get behind them.

2D: A mentally and physically worn down young man who has had the piss beaten out of him by Murdoc almost constantly. He got kidnapped for the Plastic Beach record and just wants to no longer be part of Gorillaz in general.

Noodle: She's often shipped with 2D. however Noodle and 2D relationship is more of a brother-sister thing, not in anyways a sexual or physical relationship (infact, Noodle and anyone from the band have a brother-sister relationship, although in Russel's case, it's more father-daughter).
Murdoc: a person who encompasses everything wrong in humanity and yet shippers force sexual connotations with him and 2D just "for shipping becuz tehry sooo cute!!!!<3"
I mean, sure, there has been hints that Murdoc and 2D have had sex before, but if those hints are to be believed, that implies Murdoc basically raped 2D.

theycallhimhellcat | I'm you ten years later. I have three suggestions, which I think help to varying extents, though I still struggle to have trust in my own sense of judgement.
1. Push back. The world is full of people with opinions, but that's all they are. Most men who suffer from this give a lot of weight to other's opinions, even above their own opinion. Practice doing little things that you feel good about but that someone else doesn't like. This helps develop that inner sense of knowing that you are a good person and acting with integrity even if someone else thinks you are being a jerk.
2. Work on the self-love piece. I know this is hokey and cliche, but ask yourself why you aren't more gentle with yourself, more caring. Why so critical? Why don't you treat yourself with more compassion? You're doing just as well as some, better than others. Everyone has room for improvement. Developing that sense of compassion about yourself and your own struggles will help.
3. Go somewhere where you are alone. Spend some time, and get a sense for what your choice is. You will want to revisit it when you get back in touch with other people, but try not to, because that answer you arrived at when alone is probably the right one.
If you're like me, you know what the right choice for you is, but you're worried about what other people will think of you if you make that choice. You worry about what they think about the choice you made. You can too easily see their perspective, and that makes you feel confused and unsure.

I talked to my mom's cousin (who's been hunting all his life) about glass bedding, target turrets and First focal plane VS Second Focal Plane... And rifle harmony... He had no idea what I was talking about lol
TL:DR Tikka T3 for budget quality. | I'm thinking ".338 lapua mag is too expensive, let's go with something cheaper and TIKKA T3".

lnvoker | That's just what I've been doing tho. Basically there isn't really a way to 'theorycraft' how stuff is going to happen. You can study all the top games and practice all the tech but the fact of the matter is you gotta play vs. some people (preferably people better than you) get stomped and learn. Once you do that it gets a bit easier, I think people are a lot more receptive to giving contructive criticism once they see you have decent fundamentals.
I can't speak for everyone but I don't really want to get super detailed in helping someone who lost and probably wont come back because it's wasted time. The more people you play and the more tournaments you go to the more help you will get from people who see that you are trying to improve.
tl;dr Keep on teching, play people, get better. | That's just what I've been doing tho. Basically there isn't really a way to 'theorycraft' how stuff is going to happen.

Jucoy | I may have left out that the umayyadds control all of Spain and a majority of western France. Charlemanges legacy lasted maybe two generations. Now the biggest players in the Catholic realm are Bavaria and Lombard both to the South. Bohemia is my ally and equal in terms of size and military strength and fully embraced the new ways with me. I've personally pushed The germanic faith off central Europe and no other faith has had any luck reforming.

fistful_of_ideals | We had an Amazon long ago, and we had one cat that liked to fuck with him from the top of his cage when we weren't looking. He'd coexisted with cats for nearly a decade without issue, so it was a new phenomenon. Most of the time, she'd just bat at the cage to scare him. He was pretty chill, so he never retaliated, instead choosing to scurry off to the other side of the cage until the cat was done doing whatever her tiny mammalian brain thought it needed to do. Once we caught on, we started shooing the cat away, and after awhile her prey drive apparently subsided.
After maybe a year of peace, the cat started to sit on top of his cage again. Not to bat at the cage like she did previously, just to taunt him. As if to say "I could eat you, motherfucker. But I'm not going to, because I don't *want* to." We'd shoo her off, but she'd hop up again after a few hours, and the cycle would repeat. The parrot became increasingly agitated, to the point where we considered moving him to quiet room with a door.
It never got that far. On this fateful day, she sat atop his cage, drooping her tail over the edge, lazily swaying it back and forth just out of reach. She had become content with his prior refusal to retaliate, and she was making sure he knew who was boss.
What she didn't count on was that this motherfucker was made of pure contempt by this point, and had already decided he wasn't taking her shit anymore. The instant her tail slipped between the bars, he reached out and grabbed a mouthful. By this time, everyone in a one mile radius was acutely aware that a cat was most likely being run through a meat grinder asshole-first.
Large parrots possess incredible strength in their jaws, so breaking a bone isn't difficult by any stretch. He let go as soon as *Butthole Meat Grinder Sonata #9* began, but the damage was already done: the last inch of her tail was broken, and was at a 90 degree angle to the rest of her tail.
The vet considered amputation, but ultimately decided it would heal on its own. It did heal, and there was never an indication that it bothered her, but it was crooked for the rest of her life. A painful reminder that the food chain wasn't as linear as she once thought.
She was the last cat to get within 10 feet of that bird.

clap_yo_hands | I'm curious about this too. I was dating a guy that I really liked but he broke up with me. His work changed and he started a job where he is working 100 hours a week. He recently got back in touch and said that he's been missing me and would like to give it another try when his work situation calms back down. That won't be until June. I really liked this guy and was so sad when he ended things. Now that I understand the kind of pressure he is under at work I wouldn't mind giving it another go in June if he is still interested then.
The biggest problem is that I've been seeing someone else. He's sweet and fun but I don't have any passionate feeling toward him. I Don't know what the future holds, but if my ex asked me back today I would dump my new guy in a hot minute to be with him. But in 3 months that might change in any number of ways.

ShinyMetalBum | > If Malaysia has one of the highest rainfalls in the world, where is the water going?
Firstly, although Malaysia has one of the highest rainfalls in the world, it also has a dry season that takes place more or less over the summer months. During this time, rainfall is much lower than average.
Secondly, the major area wuth with water supply problems is the Klang Valley conurbation, which is hands-down the most densely and heavily populated area of Malaysia. Simply put, there are a lot of people and industries there that require a lot of water.
Anyway, the major reasons for non-retention of water in the catchment areas in the Klang Valley are as follows:
**High impermeable surface area**
Since the Klang Valley is very densely developed, this means that there are a lot of surfaces - roofs, concrete aprons, road pavements, etc. - where rainfall runoff cannot seep into the water table. All this runoff mostly goes into stormwater drains that ultimately discharge into the river system, and since most if not all the river water intake points are located upstream of the developed areas, all this water basically goes out to sea unused.
**Limited rainfall catchment areas**
Because the river water intake points are located upstream, rainfall is largely useless for the purposes of providing treated water unless it takes place in those upstream catchment areas. There has also been some encroachment of development into these catchment areas because highland properties are seen in the Klang Valley as upscale and desirable due to being away from the hustle and bustle of the city, so that doesn't help either.
In short, the high amount of rainfall is falling in the wrong places.
> Why can't you just dig wells, instead of only using natural reservoirs?
I'm not sure, but it might be due to geology. Most of the Klang Valley sits on what is essentially a limestone outcrop. Taking away too much groundwater too quickly might mean the limestone becomes too brittle to support the weight of the soil and building above it, leading to sinkholes.
> Is Selangor providing water to Putrajaya?
Yes, because Putrajaya is a Federal Territory located within Selangor's borders.
> Is that what the article is about?
No. The article is about Selangor's new Menteri Besar revoking a previously signed agreement with the Federal government signed by his predecessor. The agreement, in general terms, was that the Federal government would offset the cost of the state government's nationalization of the state's four water concessionaires in return for providing the necessary approvals for a new water treatment plant in the state.
Here, "Putrajaya" actually refers to the Federal government, in much the same sense as Americans would say "Washington".
> What happened to the Pahang pipeline?
The pipeline/tunnel is completed. However, it needs a water treatment plant to process the supplied water. That water treatment plant is the one that the state government was supposed to issue approvals for under the cancelled agreement.
Let's go a little deeper to explain why this has happened.
Part of the manifesto of the current state government when they took over two General Elections ago was to take the management of water within the state of Selangor out of federal and corporate hands and into state hands. As part of this, they froze the original project for the Langat 2 water treatment plant, forcing the Federal government to take over ownership of the project so that it could proceed. When submissions were made to the state authorities for the construction of the project, the state government essentially placed a lot of stumbling blocks that prevented construction from actually beginning.
Following the water crisis in the Klang Valley in the summer of 2014, the then-Menteri Besar decided to work out a deal with the Federal government - the state would stop blocking the project if the Federal government stopped blocking the state's attempts at taking over the management of water supply from the concessionaires. This deal was basically against the political line of the previous Menteri Besar's party, and later formed the argument for the ouster of that Menteri Besar, Now the current Menteri Besar is bringing the direction of the water supply issue in the state back in line.

strategyanalyst | As a liberatarian, I think 'Starve the Beast' is a great idea. But here's the thing-
* Government should sell all assets at mkt price. It should not arm twist private players in paying higher price than what market would clear. An auction, especially reverse auction is a great price discovery method to find the right mkt price.
* If you sell assets at prices lower than market price then private companies will not pass on the benefit to consumers, they will keep those profits for themselves.
* Coal is a substitute for oil, coal private players would have just sold the energy slightly cheaper than oil per Kilojoule. Now they will sell at close to price of oil and maybe even close to expensive green sources.
Tl ;dr - Coal players would have pocketed the gain since they compete with other energy player. Selling coal for as cheap as Sibal was saying by govt. taking a loss would mean we are putting a tax on green energy sources.

His items were Rabadons Deathcap, Zhonyas Hourglass, Morellonomicon, Lich Bane, and Mejais (Likely 20 Stacks).
This means the gold card had a base damage of 175%xTF's base AD, with 175 Base Damage (He's level 17, assuming E max 3rd), and a 155% AP scaling.
Twisted Fate's base AD will be 102, giving him 102 Physical Damage, and 76 Magic Damage (Due to Lich Bane). TF's AP will be (assuming 21/X/X with all AP damage dealing masteries maxed out) 120+120+80+80+180+15+15+6 or 616, which multiplied by 1.43 is 880 AP. With a 155% AP Scaling, this equates to 1364 Damage.
Twisted Fates Total Damage right now is 1440 Magic Damage and 102 Physical Damage. With Havoc, its is now 1483.2 Magic Damage and 102 Physical Damage.
Yasuo has no MR (assuming he is not running MR runes), leading to him only having his 30 base MR. TF gets 28 effective MR on Yasuo after factoring masteries, and only 5 effective MR on Yasuo after factoring runes. That is basically 5% effective HP against TF's magic damage burst. Yasuo has 1416 HP (keep in mind Yasuo has taken some damage), with a 215 shield on passive.
Tl;dr TF has insane AP Scalings on-hit, and as long as Yasuo had taken around 170 damage, Yasuo would have been one shot. If yasuo had gotten a Q off on Janna, and lifestealed, he wouldnt have died in one gold card. | TF W+ TF E+ Lich Bane.

You've been here for months and don't know there's no S in the term?
Second
>Was GG made by assholes when it started
Arguable. The start of GG had serious overlap with the 'Quinnspiracy', in which many people went too far. The first month or so of Gamergate was marked as much by happenings, as it was by bad information and overemotional unfiltered, finally unleashed anger at the colluding hypocrites.
The reason for the bad rep is in those months, and it comes from a mixture of actual mistakes GG has made, the 3rd party trolls and the demonization that ignored reality and strove to defend any GG target regardless of wrongdoing. Many people against GG refuse to see how GG has changed since then. Many others do acknowledge GG has 'gotten less evil' over time, but still demand some sort of grand gesture to make up for that first month, ignoring that the vast majority of GG got involved *after* that.
TLDR The bad rep of GG is partly deserved but hugely inflated. Probably about 20% fair bad reputation, 80% inflated and made up. | Firstly;

CarLucSteeve | La plupart des mes opinions sur r/quebec sont downvotees jusqu'à ce qu'ils soient cachées carrement.

Je donne des conférences à des jeunes dans les millieux défavorisés et je leur démontre que même avec un train de vie modeste, un revenu décent ça prend quand même 3 à 6 mois d'autonomie dans ton compte de banque pour vivre confortablement et de façon libre et autonome. 3 à 6 mois c'est assez pour .. perdre ta job, ta blonde, tomber en dépression, planter ton char, et revirer tout ça de bord.

MonkRome | While keeping up with an ex you still like over the phone, txt, or e-mail sometimes works, seeing each other in person is never a good idea. It is not for the reason you think however, the main reason it does not work is that it is accomplishing the exact opposite of what you want. You want to keep dating her, but she does not. By staying with her you don't really show her what she is missing and she can drag this out until she is emotionally settled on someone else. When you make a clean break, walk away and start dating other people it has the added benefit of showing that person your value as a person. You will also enjoy dating other people whether you believe it now or not.
If you want to have any chance with this girl you need to walk away as quickly as possible and move on with your life. If you are lucky she will miss you and want you back once you have moved on, but it's probably too late for that. If you find someone else you might not want to get back with her anyway, and she probably already looks down on you because you stuck around instead of walking away. When you don't make that clean break it creates an unequal power relationship which will change how the other person sees you. Source: I took this advise years ago and have been happily married for 3 and a half years to the girl that broke it off with me. Immediately moved on with my life and started dating again, we kept in touch and when we both realized what we left behind it was much easier to start over. Been together 9 years in total and 7 since the breakup.

lokt_ssbm | > I mostly know what I'm doing that's NOT working, but I'd like ideas on what I SHOULD be doing. (i.e. I dash attack too much but what should I replace it with?) I know boost grab is something I need to be able to perform more consistently but what else? I really feel like my neutral game leaves a lot to be desired. How can I deal with DD camping? Just needle camping? Should I strictly be forcing approaches instead of approaching myself?
I think at this point you can't really just look at the game as a series of options that you use or don't use. Your movement where it's at right now simply doesn't give you many options. Sheik has a pretty short dash length, so whenever you run i've noticed you pick one of 4 options: dash attack/boost grab/jump/roll which becomes very linear and predictable. If you work on anything, work on your movement. For example if you learn how to wavedash you can wavedash back from your dash, which can open up your tilt game. So before you get into the technicalities, you can do a bunch of movement drills. Start with learning how to wavedash back, then wavedash out of shield. Learn to shffl if you haven't already(you play pm so I assume you can do this). Then you can mix it up. Try to dash forward, wavedash back and dash forward again. Watch videos of sheik players and learn how to combine your dashes and wavedashes to improve your movement game.

Thee_Nick | This is why we have a gator hunting season in Florida. They grow too big, too ballsy and too many in numbers. So, once a year for 3 months after the eggs hatch and it starts getting cold you can go out and take 2 alligators per tag.
In order to get a tag you have to enter a lotto. I think it was roughly $300 to enter. If you get chosen they'll charge you the money and send you two tags.
After that you get into the hunt, skinning, mounting and eating them but I'm on mobile so I'm not go there.

Mauzeraut | From what little I've tried on my Sorc with a geared tank pet (treek), xp rate is significantly slower than dps/healing or dps/dps combos.
However, and this is a big caveat, I could also take on champion-level mobs with relative ease where I would struggle in the DPS spec. It's a battle of attrition, but you've got the advantage and just whittle them down until death.

However, and this is a big caveat, I could also take on champion-level mobs with relative ease where I would struggle in the DPS spec. It's a battle of attrition, but you've got the advantage and just whittle them down until death. | Disadvantage in XP rate

jlindsley312 | So sad. I can't imagine this happening to me. I have a friend who lost their dog after taking it to a Banfield Clinic in a PetSmart for a teeth cleaning. They came to pick him up but we're told he had died during the cleaning. They later received an anonymous email from one of the employees saying that the "anesthesiologist" who administered the anesthesia had no formal training and had given the dog too much so it never woke up. For a fucking teeth cleaning... Breaks my heart.
Another Banfield/PetSmart story... My boxer got a MRSA infection in his toe after having leg surgery for a broken leg (he had nerve damage, which caused him to knuckle, which led to a toe injury that got infected, long story). He had been being treated by an actual vet but we had recently moved away and I decided to take him to Banfield to have his toe looked at. After weeks (and more than $1,000 in medication), the infection was only getting worse. Banfield told me they needed to amputate his leg. At this point, my wife and I took him back to his regular vet in our hometown for a second opinion. They told me that the medication they had prescribed at Banfield was "not even close" to the treatment for MRSA. As a result, the infection had spread. He didn't end up needing a leg amputation, but we did have to amputate his toe, which would have been completely unnecessary if we'd been prescribed the correct medication to begin with. I realize how lucky we got to only lose a toe when I hear other stories of how bad PetSmart/Banfield is.

traitorbooks | This is heartbreaking.
I took my dog to Petsmart twice when he was just a pup. The second time, we were told that he was so horrible with the staff, they needed several people to try to control him. He was 6 months, less than 10 pounds, and never ever put up a fight when I groomed him. He was terrified of groomers for a long time, to the point that he would shake uncontrollably whenever we took him anywhere. He was always afraid we were going to the groomer again. It's been years and I finally found a groomer he's not terrified of.
tl:dr - Petsmart is awful, don't take your pets there | This is heartbreaking.

Alluminn | Seriously.
Last week we took my Miniature Schauzer in to the pet hospital they have in some Petsmart in the morning because he kept throwing up, and told us to come pick him up around 4 - it just seemed like a routine tummyache. We'd taken him there dozens of times when things like this happened.
They called us at about 1 saying that nothing they did was helping and he just kept getting worse the longer he was there, and they were worried that he'd die before we came to pick him up and wanted us to get there in time to say our goodbyes. They set us up in a private room, and about 10 minutes after we got there he was gone.
He was 14, which is at the high end of the spectrum for that breed, but the people who worked there were just so kind and accommodating for us, they didn't rush us out of the room, they gave us plenty of time to grieve, and when we just went to pick up his ashes today they had all signed a card for us, since we had always taken him there and they all knew him.
tl;dr - Don't lump in the shitheads at one location to all their locations. Some of them are just the best people ever. | Seriously.

EllieLove91 | I was taking my dog to Petco for this exact reason, but she still got mistreated terribly a little over a week ago. The groomer kept her caged for over three hours in the back while she took care of the "more important" customers. There was no warning when I brought her in for her appointment, and it's on her file that she already has anxiety issues because she was rescued from a bad home. When she finally got to my dog (which just so happened to be when I was tired of walking and was sitting in my car outside), she just dipped her in water, shredded her nails, and gave her back wet with a ribbon tied far too tight around her neck.
Short haired dog, under 20lbs. She was anxious and upset for the rest of the day, and I had to fix the absolute disaster the "groomer" managed to create. All we needed was a bath and nail clipping, something that normally takes less than half an hour total.
Called corporate TWICE because the manager refused to call me back about it. Went to the store, and apparently they have employees that pretend to be the manager and have no problem telling a weekly customer (with grooming every few months) that they don't want my business. Manager finally called me back and said that she supported the groomer's decision and that my dog isn't welcome back, but she would happily return my money.
Not to mention she made sure to let me know that the previous groomer, who my dog loved and we never had a problem with, was fired for "wasting resources" (aka, giving anxious dogs a squirt of calming spray and taking the time to make sure nails were done properly).
TL;DR? Windows don't mean shit unless you sit there the entire time, and even then the groomer might not give a fuck. | I was taking my dog to Petco for this exact reason, but she still got mistreated terribly a little over a week ago.

taylynx | I worked for Petsmart a year ago. I was a dog bather. The "training" they had us do was all computer based. It took only 2-3 hours to get through all the material. Then they just throw you in with the groomers with no real hands on training. In the 8 months I worked there (yes, ONLY 8), I saw some terrible things happen to some great dogs. One of the groomers who had worked there for 4 years had an 8 week old puppy in the back and was blowdrying it. The puppy was terrified of the blowdryer and was so scared that it hung itself on the lead attached to the table. Luckily, it was okay. I didn't work there much longer after that. I have plenty of other horror stories from working there. PetSmart will never get my business ever again.

smoakleyyy | I am lvling an account on LAN. I had saved up 6800ish ip and it got me almost a full set of runes. You will want at least a standard ad/ap rune page as they really help for early trades and csing.
You can get flat/scaling mr blues and either health or armor yellows and use for both pages, magic pen reds for ap and physical damage reds for ad. Ap quints and ad or attack speed quints.
I'm sure someone has done the math on the ip you would need to get a complete set.

AstrasyA | Hi, here are my thoughts on the issue--whether or not anyone cares. I honestly don't care if people promote their content or not. However, if a member of the community is just spamming their links hoping for views, subs, and donations--that's obnoxious. The rules were created since the beginning in that there is no self-promotion.
The reason why self-promotion was limited in the first place was probably because this community used to be young and we didn't want all the posts on the subreddit to be: "Hey, watch my stream. Please Favorite, Like, Sub, Donate. I will rare summon on stream thanks to your donations. Shout outs to xxasianxbabygirlxx for the sub." This is nonsense. Now that we have a much larger and hopefully mature community, it may be worth reviewing this rule if the community wants it.
Self-promoting for non-website and non-moderators is okay from what I understand.
tl;dr: Don't just spam out your links, and don't blindly upvote your own content or ask anyone else to!
Why? Because reddit is a community, not a platform for self-promotion.

imsellingmyfoot | So the Molex website has an incredibly useful feature: they'll tell you what part numbers mate with what.
So plugging in (pun intended) your male PCB mount connector, I found the appropriate mating female connector. Going from that female connector, I found the male mating parts, and the crimp terminals are linked here. [LINK]( You'll want to pick the third or fourth option, depending on the gauge of wire you're using.
To find the housing for them, click on the part number of the male pins you're getting, then under "use with" they give you the part numbers of the housing, which is here. [LINK](
Looking at them, I don't think they're a direct match, since they're two different series. The molex website says they're compatible, and the pitch between connectors matches, so I think it should work out for you.

Advanceable | If you were right, then autoclicking wouldn't be as popular as it is. Why is it more effective to click fast, if clicking 5 times per second would be good enough?
You are right in some ways, if you click 5 times per second or 10, you'll do the same damage to an entity, but a player isn't a zombie and works different, even though they are both entities.
Do a test, try clicking 5 times per second and look how much knockback someone gets, and then do make an macro so you can click 15 times per second. Me, and others have tested this before - you get more knockback and it's way easier to hit people while being in a combo. If autoclicking, or clicking fast at all didn't give an advantage it wouldn't be this popular.
Why are there people that doubleclick? Why is that even against the rules if it doesn't give you an advantage? You are clicking, so your aim won't be as good as if you were not clicking, clicking (over) 5 times per second is extremely easy and almost anyone can do it with no to little practice. But if you use a double click macro and click 10 times per second instead of 5 - you randomly start doing better in fights, while actually nothing has changed following your logic.
Why do you give more knockback if you click fast, why is it easier to hit people if you click fast, why do people complain so much if it's not an issue at all? Why is autoclicking against the rules if it barely gives an advantage, yes you might get better aim if you don't have to click, but with a little practice your aim barely even changes if you click (unless if you jitter, but jitterclicking is useless to then)
You won't do more damage if you click 100 times per second or 5, but it gives more knockback, you will get the next hit even if you are the person getting combo'd, fast clicking can give a huge advantage over people that click only 5 times per second.
> Autoclicking doesn't do much in a fight.
If I would be autoclicking, let's say 20 clicks per second, I would litterally combo you up in the air and you would not be able to do anything about it if you would be clicking 5 times per second.
But if we would both be clicking 5 times per second, the knockback you get will be similar and is based off ping instead, and knockback is extremely important in fights these days; the more knockback you give, you bigger the chances are you will win.
Because of ToggleSprint, you are able to combo and sprint and the same time without having to tab your W-key. Which means, if you give a lot of knockback you can still sprint towards them and keep hitting them until they jump and receive enough knockback to be out of your reach. They also can't hit you because on their screen they will be out of your reach because of the knockback; which is called a combo.
> Minecraft does not register anything over 5 cps so all of the other clicks mean nothing.
I probably said it at least 5 times, but I'm gonna say it again - the clicks mean a lot, but you won't take extra damage. If you would, no one would play it anymore.
You indirectly do take extra damage, because as I said earlier, fast clicking and/or autoclicking gives you the advantage in a fight, if you get somebody in a combo (which will be easy if you click fast) you will be hitting them a lot more than they *can* hit you, which results them indirectly taking more damage, and losing the fight.
I probably repeated myself multiple times, but I'm trying to make clear that, yes, fast clicking **DOES** matter. And it's useful, not useless. I rushed this wall of text, so if you still disagree I can take my time to proof that I'm right in this one.
**TL;DR** In short, you're right. If you click 100 times per second or 5, you will do the same damage, but it helps you in fights a lot because it's easier to hit people first, makes up for missed hits and you give more knockback which results you in being "better" than others and winning more fights.

I probably said it at least 5 times, but I'm gonna say it again - the clicks mean a lot, but you won't take extra damage. If you would, no one would play it anymore.
You indirectly do take extra damage, because as I said earlier, fast clicking and/or autoclicking gives you the advantage in a fight, if you get somebody in a combo (which will be easy if you click fast) you will be hitting them a lot more than they can hit you, which results them indirectly taking more damage, and losing the fight.
I probably repeated myself multiple times, but I'm trying to make clear that, yes, fast clicking DOES matter. And it's useful, not useless. I rushed this wall of text, so if you still disagree I can take my time to proof that I'm right in this one.
TL;DR In short, you're right. If you click 100 times per second or 5, you will do the same damage, but it helps you in fights a lot because it's easier to hit people first, makes up for missed hits and you give more knockback which results you in being "better" than others and winning more fights.

| kohi | t5_2yww9 | cpcs6v9 | If you were right, then autoclicking wouldn't be as popular as it is. Why is it more effective to click fast, if clicking 5 times per second would be good enough?
You are right in some ways, if you click 5 times per second or 10, you'll do the same damage to an entity, but a player isn't a zombie and works different, even though they are both entities.
Do a test, try clicking 5 times per second and look how much knockback someone gets, and then do make an macro so you can click 15 times per second. Me, and others have tested this before - you get more knockback and it's way easier to hit people while being in a combo. If autoclicking, or clicking fast at all didn't give an advantage it wouldn't be this popular.
Why are there people that doubleclick? Why is that even against the rules if it doesn't give you an advantage? You are clicking, so your aim won't be as good as if you were not clicking, clicking (over) 5 times per second is extremely easy and almost anyone can do it with no to little practice. But if you use a double click macro and click 10 times per second instead of 5 - you randomly start doing better in fights, while actually nothing has changed following your logic.
Why do you give more knockback if you click fast, why is it easier to hit people if you click fast, why do people complain so much if it's not an issue at all? Why is autoclicking against the rules if it barely gives an advantage, yes you might get better aim if you don't have to click, but with a little practice your aim barely even changes if you click (unless if you jitter, but jitterclicking is useless to then)
You won't do more damage if you click 100 times per second or 5, but it gives more knockback, you will get the next hit even if you are the person getting combo'd, fast clicking can give a huge advantage over people that click only 5 times per second.
> Autoclicking doesn't do much in a fight.
If I would be autoclicking, let's say 20 clicks per second, I would litterally combo you up in the air and you would not be able to do anything about it if you would be clicking 5 times per second.
But if we would both be clicking 5 times per second, the knockback you get will be similar and is based off ping instead, and knockback is extremely important in fights these days; the more knockback you give, you bigger the chances are you will win.
Because of ToggleSprint, you are able to combo and sprint and the same time without having to tab your W-key. Which means, if you give a lot of knockback you can still sprint towards them and keep hitting them until they jump and receive enough knockback to be out of your reach. They also can't hit you because on their screen they will be out of your reach because of the knockback; which is called a combo.

ForbiddenFruit420 | Here's the thing about make up: Yes, you look "prettier" with it. But, people get used to seeing you that way, and if they see you without it, you look strange to them. You should go a week without any make up. You are the same person either way.
Also, if you always wear make up, there will be no difference if you are going out and want to look nice... You will look the same as every day. Honestly, I'm 34 and only wear make up for special occasions. That makes people think and say "wow you look great". Whereas, if I looked like that every day, there would be no wow moment, or any difference at all.
Another thing is that guys don't give a shit about make up. They don't notice it or care. Until, they get used to seeing you with it. Then if they see you without it, something will be off about the way you look, and not in a good way. Ask any guy and he'll tell you something that took me years to notice: some of the hottest and sexiest looking females I've ever seen were wearing no make up, t shirt, jeans and a ponytail. If you present yourself in a way that makes people appreciate your natural beauty, the occasional make up will be a step up. Wearing make up all the time, makes your natural beauty (which is obvious in the no make up shot) a step down.
TLDR; No make up. Be yourself.

ElegantBiscuit | Legs for sure. I used to play a rail walker in my early days of T10 and even when I got level 100. Keep in mind that this was before the rail buff from DOTM, so I have plenty of railing experience :) Although legs are definitely not the best movement type in the game, they're best for rails because they can get virtually everywhere and stay still when you stop. Wheels and tank treads slide a little now, but they do stay relatively still. However, they are much more prone to tesla attacks which rails have very little defense against. Hovers wobble too much and Fliers are out of the question, so the only other alternative is a sled. I have recently gotten a lot into sleds, and it takes a little getting used to. A proper sled can get anywhere on the map go faster than anything else on your team except UWDd or thruster sticks, and cling to walls. The only problem is that rails are so big that it requires a big bot, and sleds should be nimble and lightweight so they can climb up everything and go fast.
**TL:DR I would recommend legs, but anything except hovers and fliers would work. It depends on your ideal play style. Hope his helps :)** | Legs for sure.

mediocrenow | I'm not sure if this helps but here are my thoughts on this:
Economy:
Economy is a strange beast in this game (though it can be argued it's a strange beast in real life as well). You have to keep an eye out on it daily as it fluctuates. There's usually a known trend at the beginning of a new patch, but after is more like rolling dice. What you were selling like hot cakes for two weeks grinds to a complete halt as some other thing is "all the rage". Sound familiar to some real life events probably. As a Weaver main, the reasons items you sell will be bought are the same as before with one addition: vanity.
Gear:
I'd do a comparison of the current crafted crafting gear over the gear that can be bought from NPCs. For example, the Ehcati Smithing Gloves is not that much different then a fully mended Artisan's Mitts if you're willing to take a hit of minus 3 CP. Then there's the fact that Artisan's Spectacles is currently still the best head gear. Take a look here from some ideas:
Desynthesis:
Desythesis is pretty important because quite a bit of the newer gear has the demimateria generated as part of their recipe but I wouldn't necessary consider the economy revolving around it (yet) though that might be server dependent.
TL;DR: Look at the Marketboard and see if you can make what's being sold. | I'm not sure if this helps but here are my thoughts on this:

simbaro | I attribute my mastering and enjoyment of both the locusts and the cicada chasis solely because of this reason.
Being a student, I have no way to buy any of these packs. I was veteren founder, and that;s the most I have ever given to this game. Of course I occasionally buy some MC during sales, thats about it.
If your willing to just play and enjoy one or two chasis, grinding for modules to fully kit out all the variants is still good fun. The trial mechs are fine....but they're still trial mechs...
I'll save up and sometimes buy mechs outside my weight class just to try them, though that is limited as well to mechbays.

neverthrowacat | No reason to hold off on using the yellow and flares. Even the reds can be added in after only a small number of games.
As for the rest:
I rarely use technology cards, most people I've used them with never really seemed that interested, a little fiddly for what they bring to the game,so I only break them out for novelty with players who know the game inside-out.
Reward deck, on the the other hand, is fantastic and really breathes life into defensive allying. You can add it in after only a few games as well, practically no additional complexity from base.
Hazards can make the game a *little* more stressful, so I only use them with relatively comfortable players and, even then, not always.
Never played with the space stations, but I imagine they would be one of the last things to try.
Don't forget about power and flare variants, as mentioned in the rulebook. There is plenty of mileage to be had in the base game, what with hidden, rotating, & double powers, as well as the freewheeling flares which is great fun if a little chaotic.
**TL;DR**: get yellow aliens and flares going as soon as your second game, reds almost immediately after that, and then toy with tech and variants to see what appeals before moving on to expansions (starting with Cosmic Incursion). | No reason to hold off on using the yellow and flares. Even the reds can be added in after only a small number of games.
As for the rest:
I rarely use technology cards, most people I've used them with never really seemed that interested, a little fiddly for what they bring to the game,so I only break them out for novelty with players who know the game inside-out.
Reward deck, on the the other hand, is fantastic and really breathes life into defensive allying. You can add it in after only a few games as well, practically no additional complexity from base.
Hazards can make the game a little more stressful, so I only use them with relatively comfortable players and, even then, not always.

Talisia | In fairness, i'm playing in a few games where i'm the only one who remembers what happened a few sessions ago. Sometimes i have to remind **My DM(s)** what was going on and the plot hook(s) (s)he threw at us.
Some people just have a better memory then others, for my sessions i recommend to my players to get their notepads ready because if they forget it and ignore certain things, bad things will happen and i will TPK partys for forgetting information i hinted towards. It only took 2 TPK's before my players figured it out that writing down a few things will really help them massively. PS: This doesn't mean if i gave very small slight hints that i'll tpk a group for not picking up on it but if they actually forgot how certain npcs personalitys work or that they asked for information about a town that was being raided by <insert something here> that there will be reprocussions from such things if they don't deal with it.(Good or bad)
Another thing that really helps is; before the session starts let THEM do a recap of what happened the previous session.
Alternatively; Try a player diary approach, let each (litterate) pc keep a diary of their adventures in character form which i **KNOW** for a fact that if they do it, they'll actually remember whats metagame knowledge and what they know in character.
tldr: I'm a bit harsher then most dm's when it comes to things like this but its because i put in the time to make the world come to life for them to live in, i answer their questions but if they ignore then information that they had access to, i will punish it because it annoys me. | In fairness, i'm playing in a few games where i'm the only one who remembers what happened a few sessions ago.

Delicious_Noob | Eight years ago my father found a wallet on the street with $6000 cash in it with cards and all. It belongs to a man in his mid 20s from the same lower socio-economic suburb of Australia like ourselves. My farther decided to return it with all its contents but after hearing the story behind this you will understand why he probably regrets it.
Upon looking at the mans ID and the circumstances in which the wallet was found i urged my father to keep the money as the man in my judgement was almost definitely a drug dealer and we needed the money.
My father being the good man that he is with a poor refugee background disagreed with me and said the man probably withdrew the money to buy furniture and had he lost his wallet he would want someone to return it as well.
My father then found the man's address and after confirming that it was in fact him on the ID my farther gave the man his wallet with the money at his house. The man after counting the money in front of my father pocketed the wallet then began aggressively threatening my farther and fuming at the mouth and threatened to call the police if my father doesn't leave the property immediately.
My father didn't even get thanked.
TL;DR My father finds $6000 AUD, tries to return it, the owner he returned it to takes the wallet, doesn't thank my father but instead threatens my father. That is what being good gets you. | Eight years ago my father found a wallet on the street with $6000 cash in it with cards and all.

liquidsnakex | If you want to focus efforts, just go after the bugs, then the cyborgs, then the illuminate.
That's the order they became available and they're even listed in the on-ship encyclopedia in the same order, so that's the logical progression to take them out. Anyone sensible enough to realize that efforts need to be focused, should be sensible enough to notice that pattern, which is the closest thing to an "official" priority list.
As more people get closer too unlocking all the stratagems, you'll probably see more focus, as less people will be distracted by going to other systems to score better gear.

HeungMinSon | Funny. I've played CM exclusively since FIFA 10. Switched to FUT in FIFA 15. Playing against the CPU will never be the same.
The CPU is very predictable, even at the hardest dificulty. If you don't attack it, it doesn't try too hard to regain possession, even if it's losing like 3-0. If you cut every possible pass the CPU just holds possession until you free some space up for it to use and even then it's NEVER aggressive.
Winger gets a nice through ball and has the entire field for himself? No worries, the CPU stops right before the penalty area and turns, waits for you to come and reorganize your defense and then starts to furiously pass the ball.
Oh I forgot. The CPU almost never scores early on. It just casually misses crazy chances left and right, so you have time to get your shit together and start playing.
I don't know, the CPU is just largely pointless to play against.

mr_fuzzy_face | G-d does actually maintain relationships with all non-Jewish national and people. One thing that is a core Jewish belief is that G-d has a part in the day to day world, every aspect of the world, and that He renews Creation at every moment. So this being true, it must reason that G-d also is influencing the world of all non-Jews.
G-d also maintains a relationship on the individual level. Before the Jewish people existed there were also prophets and followers of G-d. Adam, non-Jew. Eve non-JEw. Noah, non-Jew. But both are considered to have been saintly and that they spoke with G-d directly. Today still there are non-Jews that believe in our G-d, but are not considered Jewish. Some pray and study with us. They are called Noahides. They follow seven basic commandments given to the entire world. They are then expanded on. If your interested check out So yea. G-d's involved.

Zhinrak | I jokingly refer to my painting as 'Paint by numbers', because in my mind it does feel like it at times and it is how I start my approach to painting models. How ever you are interpreting the phrase 'paint by numbers' as an inherantly negative connotation when it is simply a method of approach to painting. 'Painting by numbers' in it self is not a good or bad way to paint models or anything else for that matter. I have seen fantastic art created as a result of 'paint by numbers', there is nothing wrong with the approach, it all comes down to how much effort and creativity you add to the approach itself.
When I look at a model I assign aspects of it a colour in much the same way you would with a 'paint by numbers' image. For example "Armor plating will be white/beige, Robes will be red, any trim will be gold". Like any 'paint by numbers' picture, the detail is all there already in the physical model, I just have to apply the right colours to bring it to life. Once the base colours are filled in, it is really up to you how much extra effort you put in with other effects like drybrushing, washes, blending etc to make it really stand out, but it all stems from that starting point.
To someone starting out it is a good aproach to have and is a great foundation to start building upon. It wont imediately get you professional looking models, but it can yield some very good results and provide a base with which to experiment with until someone has the confidence to try more advanced techniques.

montanagunnut | It's, money, but not quite. Cryptocurrencies are kind of a money-commodity hybrid that allow free trade without governmental oversight or control. They foster a healthy and good black market outside of typically corrupt power structures.
Dogecoin is a bit different though. This is a crypto with a personality. It is a digitized, tradeable form of happiness. Its kind of an example of what it would be like if hugs and smiles were worth money.

makeplayz | Big Ben is better than both, and stats even show it. He has just as many rings as Eli, yet his TD/INT Ratio is better, he has a higher completion percentage, he's taken way less sacks and has more wins in the regular season. Big Ben has never really been known for his passing skills. He's always been deemed a hand it off, control the pace of the game and let the defense keep us in the game if need be. But when needed, he makes the drive successful and makes the throws necessary to do so, i.e. Super Bowl 43. I've always said I'd take Big Ben in crunch time over Peyton. Rivers deserves no recognition for HoF talk.
Eli needs to play lights out and inflate his stats for a few years or get another SB win before he should be considered. His play gives the perception that his SBs were luck, amazing supporting cast, or whatever counterargument you can provide. He's never had flashy numbers and he's always in the mix for league leader in interceptions thrown and turnovers. Im just not sold on Eli. I do admit his throw on the corner to Cruz (correct me if im wrong, I just vividly remember the throw) was money. Amazing throw. I give him props for that. But other than that throw, his career to me is iffy. In my eyes, that is the only thing he's done that ever mattered or had drastic ramifications. If he can get one more I say he gets in. Otherwise, he'll just get in because his name is "Manning."
TLDR: Big Ben, first ballot; Eli will get in because of his last name; Rivers deserves no consideration, yet. | Big Ben is better than both, and stats even show it.

He's never had flashy numbers and he's always in the mix for league leader in interceptions thrown and turnovers. Im just not sold on Eli. I do admit his throw on the corner to Cruz (correct me if im wrong, I just vividly remember the throw) was money. Amazing throw. I give him props for that. But other than that throw, his career to me is iffy. In my eyes, that is the only thing he's done that ever mattered or had drastic ramifications. If he can get one more I say he gets in. Otherwise, he'll just get in because his name is "Manning."
TLDR: Big Ben, first ballot; Eli will get in because of his last name; Rivers deserves no consideration, yet.
| nfl | t5_2qmg3 | cpfrij5 | Big Ben is better than both, and stats even show it. He has just as many rings as Eli, yet his TD/INT Ratio is better, he has a higher completion percentage, he's taken way less sacks and has more wins in the regular season. Big Ben has never really been known for his passing skills. He's always been deemed a hand it off, control the pace of the game and let the defense keep us in the game if need be. But when needed, he makes the drive successful and makes the throws necessary to do so, i.e. Super Bowl 43. I've always said I'd take Big Ben in crunch time over Peyton. Rivers deserves no recognition for HoF talk.

why_imagine | I have wondered about this for years...what would really happen to the military if everything fell apart. I spent 12+ years as a Cav Scout (19D) in the Army. Deployed twice to Iraq, have been stationed in Germany, Korea, etc. Left as an E-6 after my last tour in Iraq. To me, it seems to depend on the heart of the soldier, the moral sense of what is right, what type of unit they are in, and the mentality of others in their unit. There are so many variables. If all hope seemed lost, how many would leave and return to their families? How much and what type of equipment would they have? Depending on how things went down, they might be a long ways from home. I have known many good soldiers, but there are also quite a few that I would never want to cross their path in a lawless world. tldr; Counter423, keep a close team of like-minded people (ideally people in your squad), a rough plan that you all and your immediate families know, and you'll survive. | I have wondered about this for years...what would really happen to the military if everything fell apart.

jbtrackxc | Bullet point version of the article:
* 2015’s House Bill 152 would require alcohol license holders to self-report any violations of local, state or federal alcohol laws, rules or regulations to the Georgia Department of Revenue within 45 days. It would also set a 45-day deadline for cities and counties to report any violations within their jurisdiction to the Department of Revenue.
* Under current law, cities and counties are supposed to report violations to the department. The bill modernizes the language, requiring each local government to “adopt a policy and implement a process” for reporting.
* The new bill would allow the revenue commissioner to impose fines of up to $750 for license holders that fail to report violations. It does not specify a penalty for cities and counties.
* Bar is defined as a place that derives 75 percent or more of its revenue from alcoholic beverages.
* Under the city’s alcohol ordinance, Statesboro officially has no bars, only restaurants that serve alcohol. These are either “sports restaurants,” required only to have a food permit, or ordinary restaurants, required to derive more than 50 percent of their revenue from food sales — but with this reported to the city through an unaudited process.
* Putting the 75 percent rule in state law gives the Department of Revenue power over a distinct line between restaurants and bars. The department will be able to look at monthly sales tax reports, which already classify food and drink revenues separately.
* The bill does not limit the 21 minimum age for bouncers to those who work in bars as defined by the 75 percent rule. Instead, a bouncer is separately defined as “an individual primarily performing duties related to verifying age for admittance, security, maintaining order, or safety, or a combination thereof,” and that “no person shall allow or require” someone under age 21 to work as a bouncer “in an establishment where alcoholic beverages are dispensed.”
* The bill specifies no new minimum age for bartenders or servers. As is now the case, they would need only be 18 or over to work at restaurants that serve alcohol; but at bars as defined by the 75 percent rule, the legislation would prohibit most employees, as well as customers, under age 21, since they could not be allowed in the door. An exception would be if the younger person were accompanied by “his or her parent, guardian or spouse who is 21 years of age or older.”

TL;DR
* Bars are defined in the bill.
* Self-reporting is required and modernized to fit today's standards.
* Bouncer is separately defined in the bill.
* Bartenders and waitresses in Statesboro would not be effected by this bill.

hdiz | Uniqlo!!!!!!! They have REALLY long legs and fit athletics sized legs! They need to be tailored but I'm far to excited by the fact that they're too long to do it. They're fairly thick as well which makes it perfect for any weather! Plus they were part of the "sell out sale" because it's a colour that no one wants... Good thing is that I'm fairly girl next door blonde so it works really well with my complexion.
TL;DR- As Japanese as uniqlo is, they have some great sizing for bigger(not fat)/taller people | Uniqlo!!!!!!! They have REALLY long legs and fit athletics sized legs!

Funvee | I would say that believing her is a good thing but we shouldn't be mistaken into not believing the accused as well. If we believe both parties and empathise with their perspectives we have the greatest likely hood of prosecuting the guilty, protecting the innocent and providing support where it is needed.
