Islamabad airport broke my camera and refused to pay for it

Is it fixable or should I get it sorted through travel insurance (would they even cover it?)?

Tamron 17-70 e mount

A6700 seems fine but it's run out of battery

They also dropped my phone, laptop and iPad all of which are fine

Skycrab wr seed in 12:39 (no mouse only trackpad)

This seed is genuinely so fun lmao. I reckon I could sub 10 this if I locked in + got good rates and a fast perch. I did rebind use/place to V and pick block to B bc right clicking on a mac needs two fingers and I'd probably misclick and there's no middle click on mac

More detailed stats website

I'm looking for a stats website with more detail than the one on mcsrranked.com. more specifically, I'd like to see my average for the past week/month as opposed to entire season, and average splits and average splits per seed type. If such a site exists I'd love if someone could mention it :)

Is sub 3 ranked theoretically possible?

I think it is, but the runner would need to high roll a lot. Like if you get a RP enter with carrots, looting, and enough iron and a gold pick, you could enter the nether instantly, mine nether rack for the bastion route, get into the fort sub 2, blind into sh or above ocean exposed after killing 2 blazes and getting maybe 5 or 6 rods, then high rolling for insta perch one shot.

Job "interview" question

So I'm applying for videographer jobs, one has got back to me (with ai responses, I suspect) telling me to use some of their footage to make a video to demonstrate my editing skills. Is this huge red flag or would it be fine if I edit but also watermark it?

This kind of job is the exact one I'm looking for rn tho - it's healthcare related (I'm a med student), and part time.

How to not de-offhand food when fast looting?

So I recently learnt fast looting, and pretty much all the time my food becomes de-offhanded into my inventory. Is there a way to avoid this?

The forfeit mechanic needs to be reworked

https://preview.redd.it/gs3mqdgvauah1.png?width=689&format=png&auto=webp&s=13df4b5acfdad8610b36d84a6c5cf0f9f6381dc9

Ranting.

I've been chasing a sub 13 in Ranked for a while now. I have a 13:14 and choked an 11.30 end enter once.

Twice now I've been on pace to beat that (sub 12 and sub 11 portal room) and just before I enter the end the other guy forfeits.

This is really annoying and it just feels whenever I'm on good pace it doesn't mean anything bc the other guy will forfeit.

I know it's not just me facing this though. Everywhere I see people lose out on PBs and good times, and I think the most notable one was when kenankardes forfeited against edcr.

It's a shame and it's genuinely having me considering quitting ranked for zsg which sucks bc ranked was how I got into MCSR in the first place.

I think the forfeit mechanic is long overdue a rework - Here are my ideas

- If someone forfeits, you should still have the option to play out the seed, and it should still count towards ranked progress (achievments, pb, etc)

- You can't forfeit, or you have to wait 3-5 mins before forfeiting if the opponent is in the end, or on good pace (different "good pace" for each rank?)

lmk your thoughts I want to see what everyone else has to say

Dragon just going higher and higher after full bow (practice map)

I'm guessing this is a practice map specific bug?

Funny regardless lol

How can I learn to zero faster?

I've been zero cycling for about a month or so now, and am getting quite confident in it. But I want to be able to build the setup faster now - specifically the staircasing up. I don't have any background in MC parkour, and I only know straight and diagonal speedbridging. Is there an easy/handy tutorial for speed staircasing that I can use for zero cycling?

There's been a few times where I was about 1 second late and choked the zero bc of that and I want to minimize that happening again.

How to improve fort to finish?

I've just reached Gold III in ranked, and I'm working towards getting Emerald and I'm trying to improve my fort to finish times so I can consistently sub 16.

My target is consistent 5 min fort to finish. This fort to finish is one of my best played so far (except messing up zero - I'm way too inconsistent at offset setups and here I built it too high). Besides the end split which I'm working on by practicing specifically tall side and offset setups, how else can I reduce my times?

Lost a ranked game bc of the update :(

Shit happens, I know, but it still sucks. My wifi is pretty bad, but it rarely makes me disconnect. Sadly today it made me disconnect. I tried to relaunch ranked but was hit with an update and before I could finish updating it made me forfeit.

I'm on a mobile hotspot rn so my wifi speeds range from 100s of MB/s to a few kb/s. Had there been no update I would've been able to go back and draw with the opponent (he sent a draw request just before).
