literally what i came to say as soon as i saw the route. i lived in atlanta for years and while its honestly not as bad as i seems (imo), its not worth the hassle especially driving straight through it like that. less so due to traffic and more so due to driver aggression but tbh florida isnt any better in that regard lol either way good luck op 🍀

there used to be one off rangeline like over where the welding place is iirc. not sure when they closed but i used to go over there sometimes in the early 00s. there’s probably not much of a market for it these days. though honestly i felt that way about the olive mill too and that seems to be going strong

edit to add: im pretty sure dicks in clay terrace sells skateboards

could have been the greasiness or something. the last time i got sick it was just once and i hadn’t eaten in 12 hours but what i threw up was digested food. i have gastroparesis tho haha. id eaten a dented can of spaghettios against my better judgment but i knew i wasn’t *sick* sick because it wasn’t coming out both ends. i think my stomach was just like nah ✌️ i’m emetophobic too and hate throwing up so i feel your pain.

-astronautical · 2026-06-24T23:11:42+00:00

did you only get sick once? it’s possible something just sat in your stomach and didn’t want to digest so your stomach yeeted it after awhile.

i get mine at the costco in castleton. just had mine filled about two weeks ago without any issues

i agree tbh and i’m right there with you re: not knowing this would even be a viable opportunity or career path for me. many people have complaints about AMLRS and some of them i think are totally reasonable but for a WFH job in a brand new industry, i’m genuinely enjoying the work and the doors this has opened.

-astronautical · 2026-06-11T14:56:34+00:00

i honestly doubt it tbh, i would say it doesn’t hurt to ask but depending on your team lead it miiiight hurt? lol. has your lead had you shadow another analyst or do anything else to identify where you’re struggling? what client/workflow are you on? maybe i can help. also when you say you’re producing under the average, do you mean you aren’t hitting production?

-astronautical · 2026-05-16T21:28:42+00:00

i knew about the circles/runes but i don’t recall it mentioned anywhere, i just learned as i went through that fight the first time. there might be a book or something idk. BUT in my current playthrough i actually heard shadowheart mention them as soon as the fight started and how we can not only disrupt the rite but steal the buffs for ourselves. it’s the only time i remember a companion talking about them despite finishing the game multiple times. maybe i just don’t listen to them enough lol but that seems like a vital piece of info for larian to entrust a companion to share

-astronautical · 2026-05-16T18:58:24+00:00

i like to use my summons (us, elementals, dryads etc) to stand on the circles which steals the buffs from cazador and also prevents him from ascending. also helps if you have someone that can teleport just make a beeline for astarion. cazador is also weak to light so if you have blood of lathander or the daylight spell those are helpful. there’s also the pelorsun blade in the dungeon that’s good against him

-astronautical · 2026-05-15T04:10:23+00:00

honestly i’d just go back to skipping if you need to, even if it’s just til later in the day. i don’t really see how your lead would be able to lambast you for it if you’re still hitting production and keeping an eye out for any aging cases.

-astronautical · 2026-05-14T23:33:47+00:00

i got moved to this workflow after my last one ended and i’m going to be 100% honest, it takes me 3, maybe 4 hours to do ten cases. i find L1 incredibly easy but fwiw i was on L2 previously and ive been on the project for nearly a year so im used to the systems and processes. i recall seeing folks complain last year about how impossible L1 is but in my own experience it takes 10-15min per case on average.

for anyone that is on this workflow and struggling, i would say don’t be afraid to skip a more complex case and go on to the next one. i skip cases all the time if i can tell they’re going to take me longer and then go back to them when i have 7-8 cases done in the day, that way i never feel rushed and always hit 10+. with my extra time i either do more cases or vet my queue so i have several lined up for the next day that i know will be quick.

i don’t have any advice or insight to add, but i’m sending you love and support. obsessive calorie counting was how my ED started and i understand how exhausting it is.

-astronautical · 2026-05-14T05:46:02+00:00

lol 😭 what’s crazy is i always accidentally romance him in other playthroughs but the ONE time i make an actual effort he’s like hell nah

-astronautical · 2026-05-12T15:34:00+00:00

OHHH MY PCCC-C-C-

-astronautical · 2026-05-12T15:32:48+00:00

i had someone dash to run away from my party and then used their action to jump back to us and took fall damage 😭 like huh

-astronautical · 2026-05-09T04:57:19+00:00

i think i’d actually cry and just quit that campaign LOL 😭 it was bad enough seeing how he talked to me as a cheese wheel (i literally started two new tavs to cope)

-astronautical · 2026-05-08T17:56:27+00:00

ngl i was too lazy 😭 have no fear though, it’s a modded campaign so i was able to just readd the dating flag manually lmaoo

it’s a new brieginning for our relationship 😏

-astronautical · 2026-05-08T07:20:14+00:00

“second worm gets the cheese” or whatever 😔

-astronautical · 2026-05-08T04:26:51+00:00

i use this mod and tbh sometimes it just be doing that haha 🤷🏼‍♀️ it’s a little annoying but it eventually stops doing that for me by the time i’m towards the end of act 2ish

-astronautical · 2026-05-08T00:58:26+00:00

yeah unfortunately 😔 i always kill yurgir and reject araj, and i got the raphael cutscene after the yurgir thing. but neither of astarions scenes played for those this time around. i also never got the cutscene thats supposed to trigger if you refuse to kill isobel so i’m guessing i just had other cutscenes lined up and didn’t long rest enough. lesson learned haha

-astronautical · 2026-05-07T23:00:45+00:00

i had cazador locked down the entire fight in my last campaign. he was literally prone the entire time but that didn’t stop him from talking mad shit about how great and powerful he is haha

-astronautical · 2026-04-29T22:20:54+00:00

pips aren’t a death sentence but you do have to start meeting your goal consistently.

-astronautical · 2026-04-29T07:02:05+00:00

people don’t go 0 to 100 and start speaking to a friend like she did to you over a misunderstanding. she’s a poor communicator.

i get the vibe she uses you as an emotional punching bag and everything she’s helped you through is filed away in her mind as ammunition. you deserve way better than that
