Let me start by saying I have alternating esotropia. I was nearsighted in one eye and farsighted in the other, and I can control which eye I use.

In the nearsighted eye, I had a cataract. I had a lens replacement. Since then, my vision did improve. However, when I use that eye to focus on close objects such as scrolling my phone or reading a book, it's as if the eye gets stuck in close focus. Looking up from the phone, for example, everything else now has a "shadow" or slight doubling. It won't clear up until I sleep for the night.

Anyone else have this? What can I do?

What makes these so popular? I watched a build yesterday where the player used four purple snipers for the underbarrel big rockets only. What's the mechanic I'm not understanding?

Today, when fighting Bloomreaper, she all of a sudden stops taking damage. I'm not 100% positive, but it might be when she's shooting her laser. However, it persists after she's done. Her health bar is still red and not down to where it would go to her second invulnerable phase. We're shooting her at various ranges, and it's as if the bullets never touch her. We don't appear to be lagging. I know she sometimes has that thing where you have to yank her eye out, but she's not doing that. Any help? Is it a bug or am I missing some mechanic? We've killed her many, many times in the past and never seen this.

About 35 years ago, a car hit me in a crosswalk. She sent me flying. Luckily, all I got was a concussion, a fractured femur, and some cuts and bruises. Unluckily, as I soon discovered when I was able to walk again, I was left with pain that won't go away.

​

The pain started in my lower back closer to the lateral pelvis than the spine. It was sharp and hurt mainly when I stood for long periods. I was a young and thinner man then. The past couple of years, the pain has spread and become intolerable. It is still primarily that one spot, but now it involves a line tracing my iliac crest and literally feels like something is tearing.

​

I see pain management. Last year, they did an SI joint ablation. This year, they thought the pain was a facet joint, so they did a medial branch ablation. Both provided minor relief at best. It hurts to walk, bend, and especially to twist.

​

A recent CT and an MRI last year showed normal disc heights, and there's no leg radiculopathy, so I'm not suspicious it's spinal. I have had some hip bursitis, but my hip joint rarely hurts.

​

I'm at my wits' end. Can anyone offer any more things to look at? Could I have a chronic gluteal tear? That car hit me pretty hard, so soft tissue damage wouldn't surprise me. Also, the Army did not even authorize physical therapy for about two months, so it would have been easy to not notice. Could it be bursitis reaching that far up? I would happily take a steroid shot for some relief.

​

Anyway, thanks for reading this far. I'm just trying to help point pain management in the right direction. I just can't live like this any more. It's severely impacting my ability to carry on ADLs or just do things like walk, work in my yard, etc.

I'm hanging some beadboard in my bathroom. My toilet sits between my vanity and my bathtub. I think there's only one stud smack in the middle of this narrow space. Will brad nailing the beadboard to just one stud while the adhesive sets hold it? I'm not sure about brad nailing into just sheetrock.

I recently decided to try a Tediore Grenazerker build. I'm having fun, but I have a mechanical question. Is it better, in general, to fire all the bullets and then let the reload do its damage? Or is it better to get as many bullets still in the mag when I toss it?

Can anyone point me to a good Amon build for bossing? I was using melee. I have my grenade as Slippy. I throw Stormcutter and punch in between. I'm using Mantra and Slippy. I have Groundbreaker and my firmware has Reel Big Fist and Action Fist. Shatterwight is my class mod.

I do just fine with mobbing, but when it comes to bossing, I do struggle to do the damage. In particular, Bloomreaper was rough. Maybe I'm playing it wrong or missing some interaction. I took the build from Moxsy's most recent about a month ago. I do see he uses Lamplighter. Would that make all the difference? Anyway, thanks for help in advance.

I am struggling with Rafa. I am using a build I found (maybe Moxsy's?) that uses Dancer and leans into Overdrive. It works just fine while my action skill is up, and in a heavy fight, that's not too hard to do. Where I'm struggling is between action skill runs. While it's cooling down, I am not exactly blowing the competition away.

I have access to a wide variety of guns and gear. Maybe it's my choice of weapons. Any tips anyone can give me? I've thought maybe max GOOJFC would do the trick.
