I am a bow / Stag voidlock main, I spent a lot of time grinding out the perfect set of Bushido + Panoply. I'm at 200 Health, 100 class, 100 melee, 90 grenade.

It feels great and I am no pvp god but I do very well in 6s which is what I play the most.

After reading a lot of people say Ferropotent is better along Panoply, I farmed 2 pieces and replaced my bushido.

I immediately felt like I was dying more and losing more duels and 1v2's. I played quite a few games like this. I went back to my regular gear, and was playing better out of the gate. I then tried a combination of bushido with ferropotent and it also felt worse.

I realize that the combo I use equates to about 65 health on kill when both proc which is not a lot. But in the end I think I still feel like that health bump helps me survive better than the DR from Ferro. But I may just need to adjust my playstyle, just not sure how.

I'm just wondering if I am crazy or if anyone else has had this experience.

I also know a lot of sweats will say Per Audacia is the best, and I agree that if I was a slidy boy and aggressive player I would love that set but it just isn't my playstyle.

Are any other sets worth considering now?

Does anyone have a solution or links to any passport size puzzle books or printable sheets that include things like sudoku, wordle, crosswords, any type of one page paper games?

Looking for something I can shove a few pages in my traveler passport size to carry with me in commutes and things so I don't pull out my phone.

I want to farm for a compact defender but I saw Wallah and Aegis video and they both said there is a weird issue with overclock heatsink and it messes up the hit registration but could also just be a visual bug, but either way I don't want to try for it if that is still going on.

Also does that 2% change ttk with base weapons stat?

What other mag perk should I be going for? heat reduction or stat boosts?

After some discussion in another thread I am now curious what LOCAL restaurant in chapel hill or carrboro has the best crispy chicken sandwich and/or tenders.

As a base I have had Rise, and it is what I would consider mid. Fine but not really worth a trip, I prefer their breakfast boxes and biscuits. Chicken was a bit dry and leaned to heavily on the sauce which actually was great, but without the sauce it would have been pretty bad.

So any local suggestions or do I have venture out of town for anything decent?

I really only need about 8" of X-pac and I am pretty broke. Is there a source for buying scraps, remnants or small pieces of x-pac? I'm not that particular about which variation.

Between all the variants of X-pak and Ecopak, which ones will have the most rough or textured finish?

I am looking to make a journal cover / wallet and want something that will grip the pocket the most and not slip out.

There may not be a huge difference from the quick research I just did, it looks like x-pac may be the roughest by default, but I see that there are many different variations that may use different backing material.

I used to have a tyvek wallet and it would slip out of my pocket sometimes and I would almost lose it, so I am making something that will have the best chance os staying in there.

I know that something like cordura or other fabrics would be better at this but I want something ripstop and thin, easy to sew because I suck at sewing with no rough edges from heat sealing.

Any advice would be great, thanks!

I am a little overwhelmed by all the choices and the overpriced brands. What I am looking for, I think, is pretty simple and I have seen various forms of it, but is always missing something or is crazy overpriced. The things I need:

A7 or Passport size

Soft cover

Half-year, 3-month or single-month length to keep it slim

Year at a glance

Month at a glance

Week at a glance on left page and undated, dot or grid paper on the right page to break down into daily notes or weekly notes depending on what I need that week/day. A place to brain dump or make lists without flipping off the corresponding week.

I have been looking at inserts for companies like field notes, sterling, travelers notebook, and lecturerer1917 or however the hell it is spelled lol

Hobonichi weeks is close in format but too big and overpriced.

Anybody got any suggestions?

My brain has never been more full and I need a place to offload that will not get forgotten or go unused. I need to develop the habits that I have never been able to establish even after trying over and over throughout the years.

What I really need is a good starting point. A planner that has a lot of features and is fairly simple, so I can get into habits without being overwhelmed by like 10 new systems or pages covered with tons of sections to fill out.

Are there any brands or products that anyone uses or has used that helped them understand what they were actually looking for in a planner?

What I really need is a way to track long term tasks that may or may not have a date like "make dentist appointment" "make eye appt". These things my need to carry over into the next month if they don't get done but I want to still be seeing them to put pressure on me to do them, other wise I will put it off forever.

I also short term things like grocery lists and things to research.

It would also be cool if it had "breakout" sections that I could use to do longer term research on current interests and projects.

I know there are probably other things that could help me keep my head clear and alleviate the stress of keeping things in my head all of the time, but maybe I don't know what they are yet.

For anyone that struggled to start using a planner, which one finally clicked for you and what did you to to transition into long term habit of using it?

As in, in-game distance/meters.

TBH I am not good with shotguns, but I want to be. I have played with some previous "god roll" weapons in terms of range and I cannot ever get the distance right. I'm either too far out and just tickle them or wait too long to get closer and getmyself shotgunned or meleed.

What is the correlation of stat numbers and in-game distance? Range even at max always still feels like 2 feet in game.

I do not know if this is just never going to be my playstyle or because I have never found the right shotgun to get better or more comfortable with. I feel I'm pretty much just never going to be able to compete at higher levels of comp if I don't join the shotgun club.

Don't even get me started on fusion rifles and the wizards that main them...

So much debate online over how to cook gnocchi.

Should I just boil it, boil for a few minutes then pan fry, or just pan fry from the package?

Still chasing the roll but I can't wait to get this thing in sixes and annoy the hell out as many hunters and titans as possible. Along with stag and my speedy buddy, this playstyle I am just going to call "wherever you are, move"

I just signed up for a fubo trial for the next 5 days, but after that it is close to $80 a month just for ESPN and ESPN 2 basically.

Are the games available for replay anywhere online? Like I don't super mind if I can watch the game the next day somewhere. Or am I just out of luck and gotta shell out the money for the season?

ALSO LET'S GO BLAZE!!!

I can't remember where I saw this but we had all the ingredients lying around, which seems like a likely scenario for others as well, and decided to give it a try and wow this thing hits way above its weight class for how simple and easy it is.

I was honestly skeptical because of how few ingredients and how little cooking is involved.

1 can black beans

about 1/4 a cup-ish of any salsa, store bought, leftover restaurant, taco bell sauce packet, it really doesn't matter.

any kind of taco or mexican seasoning blend. I used a taco bell seasoning packet because we bought a bunch when it went on clearance and it is surprisingly low sodium.

a few slivers of red onion for each taco.

optional - vegan sour cream. The original recipe used cheese, so you could use vegan cheese, but I always preferred sour cream instead of cheese and it works well here. You could also just totally skip it too, it would still be good.

tortillas, but I think you could also just scoop it with chips and be totally happy as a dip too.

that is it.

Basically just throw your beans into a food processor with the salsa and seasoning and give it a a few spins. I used a whole packet of seasoning, not sure how much it was but you can kind of wing it here.

Smear that mix on half of a tortilla and place a few red onions, and cheese if you want it and fold it over.

slap it down into a pan with a little oil until brown on both sides.

Done.

Serve with some sour cream to dip or I like to make a little chipotle sauce with sour cream and hot sauce. If you had a lime, you could do a quick pickle on the red onion, taht would be nice but truly is not necessary.

So yeah, like 4 ingredients that you probably have lying around, no cooking except for the crisping of the tortillas at the end. If you were feeling really lazy of just didn't care you could even leave out the red onion and probably still be happy.

Sorry we ate them all up or I would have took a pic, I will take on next time. Hope this finds someone well, it was really surprising and immediately became a new staple a couple of times a month.

Looking to get some info on starting pay and benefits. I'm looking for a part-time job and like the co-op aspect and have a lot of interest in plants and growing our own food.

Also wondering the best way to apply, the "cashier" posting on their website appears to be like 120 days old. Do they just have high turnover?

Seems like a no brainer that a device like this would be highly popular.

Alot of us have a gaming PC or Laptop but would love to just plop on the couch and play it on a handheld device.

All the handheld devices out there powerful enough to game on are super expensive and if you already own the gaming machine, you would just need a tiny screen/controller in the same form factor as the major PC handhelds out there. All it would need is power in and display in and in some cases like USB I think that could be combined, right?

Essentially a playstation portal, but wired and able to take an input from any console or computer

Yes being wired would be slightly annoying but the lack of lag would be worth it.

Does any device like this exist and if not, why?

Coming up we are having a chili competition at work.

A lot of "I could never be vegan" people taking part, so I really want to make something that will impress.

I also want to do a white bean chili, to do something a little different as I don't think anyone is doing one.

Looking online I have found a few but a lot of them look more like soups, but IDK.

Anyone got a super tasty, crowd pleasing white bean chili recipe?

Before going back to vegan, I was mildly obsessed with birria tacos and even moreso the consomé / broth that comes with them. It is so flavorful and I know it is gross but I could drink the stuff.

I was not even a huge meat eater before and after going vegan I rarely craved any sort of beef, but these were different and I still miss those flavors.

I have actually found a decent enough way to make similar tacos with beans, but that isn't really the part I am after. It is the big dip in that flavor packed broth that makes it.

Does anyone know of, or have any ideas on how to make a vegan Birria consomé / broth?

I am thinking that we can start with something like the vegan beef better than bouillon, that some mushrooms and onions should be involved but that is where I start to draw a blank. How to season, how to put it altogether in what order, stuff I am not very good at riffing on.

Thoughts?

I have always loved video games, and electronics, I have taken electronics repair classes, I have a decent understanding of PCBs. I have done basic repairs and built guitar pedals and small amps. I have always wanted to get more into console and handheld repairs, but I suck at soldering.

Soldering is fundamental and I worry that it is something I will not get better at since my soldering skills have not really got better over the course of my learning so far.

That being said I have also never really focused or tried to repair any consoles beyond like diagnosing a bad power supply, etc.

Just wondering if anyone else ever felt like they also suck at soldering and did you get better, or did it matter, like did you ever screw a pcb up royally and beyond repair trying to solder?

We need to find a new gym and really do not like planet fitness, but any other option I have found in the area is crazy expensive. o2 fitness is like $80 a month.

We are not gym rats, we really just need like a treadmill, eliptical, stairclimber would be nice, a couple machines for weights would be nice.

Honestly would be just walking or running outside but holy crap I know how hot it is going to be this summer so we need somewhere inside.

Anybody got any ideas?
