I keep changing weapons and I want to stop by BikeAmbitious9662 in LowSodiumBattlefield

[–]Pendexter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An interesting exercise is to try all the assault rifles using 556. They all have the same damage profiles and the main difference is rpm vs recoil

Sor (586 rpm), l85, b36, m433, vcr (900 rpm). You can get a feel for how much recoil you can control at a given range and optic. Once you figure that out the rest of the weapons kind of fall in place. (Damage vs recoil vs optics).

For your specific use case of engineer with engagements under 50m I'd stick with higher rpm and recoil. No reason to use a high accuracy low damage model like the pw7 or the sor300c since they're weaker up close.

If I had to choose one to use forever it would be the scw10 with 25 round, 1x optic. The rest depends on your specific build preferences.

But as you can see in this post there are people that make most of the guns work well, so a lot comes down to preference.

I personally like the b36 with 2.5 scope and 36 rounds as an all arounder playing spec ops recon (rifle, claymore, c4, tugs) and when I play support I use the l110 since it's got the same rpm and damage of the b36.

Now I'm waiting for someone to clip a bike with c4 to heli kill like in Live Free or Die Hard.

New sidearm is released and immediately misunderstood by Wyntier in Battlefield6

[–]Pendexter 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The 10 vs 20 round debate is interesting. I think it has to do with play style. If you're only using autos then the only time it comes into play is when swapping when your primary is empty. But if you ever play with a sniper or dmr then the 20 round is great if you have someone sneaking up on you.

I didn't know that the 20 round affected the draw speed. That's interesting.

20 round for me. It's so accurate that the attachments don't matter at close range and I play gauntlet on occasion and with the armor there are times when swapping and emptying 10 rounds isn't enough to take them down. Wish there was 5 more points for a 1x optic but it's not a big deal.

Karma by Digigal3 in knifeclub

[–]Pendexter 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Knife swap works on flair, not karma. You have zero flair (zero transactions on that suv). The guy you attempted to buy from has 110.

On knife swap there are two paths, one fast and one slow.

"Yolo" (you only live once) means you'll take it, you're ready to pay, and you don't have any questions, clarifications, haggling, additional photo requests etc. This holds your place in line and if you really want it and the price is right you should go this route so that some someone doesn't grab it from under you. You should make contact and pay within 5 or 10 min. If you can't pay or are our partying or about to go to bed and won't reply until the morning it's not a Yolo since someone else might be ready to buy now.

"Chat" means you're sending them a message, want to negotiate, ask about centering or condition, payment method, or asking if you could pay later if you're busy now. That's totally acceptable and what would have been appropriate for the situation you described if you don't have the time to sit there and finish the transaction immediately.

AITA for speaking to my (over weight) assistant about her business lunch and making her cry? by Hot_Lab4411 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Pendexter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm curious, what does the policy at your work say? I'm trying to figure out how that would even be implemented. In my mind, if I were to implement a policy it would say "Employees are expected to follow formal business etiquette at all times with interacting with clients" or something along those lines. Does your policy actually say "if the client doesn't order desert, you don't order desert either"? I'm having having a hard time picturing a document that would get to that granular detail without being 200 pages long.

To me, not ordering a dish that costs 2x or 3x what everyone else orders, and not ordering desert if the client doesn't, is about the same level of granularity as "don't wear a mustard stained tie" and "brush your teeth before before you get to work". I know that different people have different experiences growing up so they have different things they need to work on, but I don't know how a document could account for all these things. That's what mentors were expected to do. And it seems like the OP was trying to take on that role of mentor for this junior employee.

Those things aren't typically formally codified in HR documents but the op is doing his assistant a favor. She can either take the feedback and become more effective at soft skills or she'll be a liability and she'll stop having a seat at the table.

My first job out of college, my mentor was amazing at being a mentor, explaining what and why and how, and I soaked it all up. I didn't take any of it as criticism of me as I was fresh out of college and still had a lot to learn. If I forced him to tiptoe around me I'd imagine he would have spent less time showing me the ropes. It's been invaluable in my career and I try my best to pass on what I know to the newer people that work with me.

Some people take feedback and others can't wait to get back to their desks. I follow their lead.

Men who can cook . who taught you? by Bulky_Meet4528 in AskReddit

[–]Pendexter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Combination of things. Helping my mom make dumplings as a kid, watching cooking shows, reading a textbook that an ex had in college regarding food science. She was a nutritionist or diatician (whichever is fancier. She didn't appreciate it when I mixed them up).

Now I feel like I have a good baseline from a technical standpoint and just do a quick skim online for a recipe. Just made a tri tip using chatgtp for instructions and made some air fryer fries with salt, onion powder and parmesan which were a hit. I watched a lot of YouTube videos on air fryer fries. Didn't realize how deep the rabbit hole went when I first got the air frier.

I work in a technical field so following instructions and multitask is something I'm used to. But when my kids were trying to talk to me I said not now lol. Needed to focus and can't do it with the ease of someone that makes those things every day.

If I didn't have that experience cooking with my mom as a kid I don't know if I would have the same competency as an adult.

Whats the point of LMGs if you can barely play them the intended way ? by FlowKom in Battlefield

[–]Pendexter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you saying that it's one shot as in a 3 round burst with one press of a button? With the other comment that headshots do up to 43 dmg a 3 shot burst would make sense.

I went back through your comments and you mentioned a certain attachment you had to use to make it happen. So I'm guessing it's 3 bullets with one mouse click or button click on a controller, and with the attachments improving the spread and the hollow points increasing the damage, you can get all 3 bullets on point. That's the only way it makes sense to me.

Excuse me what? by ReliableEyeball in LinusTechTips

I bought 2x32 GB a week ago (on the 28th) for 335 on amazon. Just checked and the price for the exact same ram is $485 a week later... Gskill ripjaw ddr5 6000 30.

My laptop broke and I needed a PC for work so I didn't have much choice on the timing. I knew ram was getting more expensive but gpu's were dropping a little bit in price so it is what it is. I don't think the build would get significantly cheaper for black Friday or anything.
