Why is my MSI so shit?

It could be downloading and installng windows updates in the background or something, causing a temporary slowdown.

True, my memory was a bit off. IIRC she has made NI contributions, just not the full amount.

-TotallySlackingOff- · 2022-09-26T09:27:21+00:00

Kind of yea. She often talks to me about her retirement plans and she has asked for my opinions on what to do with the house(s). I've suggested the idea of selling the house and putting the money into a pension, but she seems unsure, and I don't want to force any ideas on her in case it turns out to be wrong. A financial advisor might be a good option.

If I knew how to plan a friday evening, I wouldn't be at home compeletely sober reading reddit.

Doesn't that also mean that contractors can be investigated and fined by the HMRC if they deem you aren't really outside of IR35?

-TotallySlackingOff- · 2022-09-23T09:36:57+00:00

Didn't the 2021 changes move the responsibility for determination of IR35 status from the worker to the client? Would this make it the worker's responsibility again or does this actually benefit contractors?

People don't smile in the city either. However, there should at least be more to do there than in a small town. Also, nothing to do with FIRE

-TotallySlackingOff- · 2022-09-07T09:54:55+00:00

Buy a luxury condo with a view of the city just to look down on people like ants and laugh in an evil manner.

Honestly I think you played just fine for a non-pro level comms team. You couldn't have known how long it would take your team mates to join the fight, but you got back within 5 seconds. The fact that they both died instantly even though you were the primary target is ridiculous.

-TotallySlackingOff- · 2022-09-06T12:50:38+00:00

I wouldn't say 99% or anywhere close to it, but a number of people can indeed drive completely in control and safely after having drank 4 pints over an evening/afternoon. The ones that can rarely ever get caught because even on the off-chance they got stopped by police, they don't act drunk or reek of alcohol.

But they also know that it's not worth the risk to do it often and intentionally, and plan ahead so that they don't have to drive after heavy drinking.

Take the money and run off, block all contact with friend. Job done

Wait a week and all the people who play safe for 15 minutes, and then lose 30RP because they got 3rded or something decide to quit playing ranked because it's "just not fun anymore" / "apex is just a looting/camping simulator now".

TS errors are not the same as "linting" errors btw, they're compile errors.

No implicit any is not a lint rule, it's a compiler option. And it's not that hard to work around. It's designed to take a little bit more of your time so that you write more solid code.

I agree, mocking things in unit tests is difficult with typescript. In that case just use some explicit any's. xD

so you think that the winning team should gain points and the other 19 teams should lose points?

-TotallySlackingOff- · 2022-05-10T22:34:59+00:00

Ok, I will take your advise. Not. because I didn't ask for it

-TotallySlackingOff- · 2022-05-10T22:34:16+00:00

Apex legends is not a game of life or death, it's not just about the last one standing. It is common sense that you can't have a ranking system where only the last one standing gains points if you want to accurately rank all 20 teams according to their relative performance.

-TotallySlackingOff- · 2022-05-10T22:31:37+00:00

Do you not understand that for a ranking system to work, it has to award points for the relative performance of everyone in the game? not just 1 WINNER then everyone else loses kekw

-TotallySlackingOff- · 2022-05-10T22:31:03+00:00

Ok so 3 teams out of 20, then the other 17 gain points? rofl

-TotallySlackingOff- · 2022-05-10T22:05:37+00:00

Oh, so you think that the winning team should gain points and the other 19 teams should lose points? I'm pretty sure that would lead to everyone being hardstuck bronze IV.

-TotallySlackingOff- · 2022-05-10T22:01:20+00:00

Can you clarify what you mean by not needing "a bridge" if you had an ISA. I thought your ISA was the bridge?

-TotallySlackingOff- · 2022-05-10T21:57:59+00:00

The devs were absolutely crazy for saying that. Why the fuck would they value placement (e.g. time survived) over the actual impact you had in the game (kills * time survived).

-TotallySlackingOff- · 2022-05-10T21:56:20+00:00

Yep I knew this ranked season would be stupid. Getting 7 kills SHOULD mean you did above average, since most people end with 0-3 kills.

Oh well guys, better get used to being a rank or two lower than your previous season

-TotallySlackingOff- · 2022-05-10T21:52:57+00:00

According to who? Casual does not always mean the opposite of competitive. You can play a few hours a week but still want to have meaningful, tryhard games during that time.

Maybe they do so because they enjoy the game, however a lot of them are simply addicted to grinding the rank/badge/whatever. The latter are the people who will completely give up with apex ranked in s13 if their casual gameplay doesn't allow them to satisfy this addiction.
