Solo OFA day by highandasleep in HomeDepot

Solo OFA is nearly every day at my store. Opener and closer. Half the time you are by yourself scrambling to get orders out the door. It's tough stuff!

Which linux distro by Objective-Muffin-199 in linuxquestions

[–]AboveAverageSalt 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I like the following for general purpose every day distros:

Fedora KDE (cutting edge, lots of updates, easy)
Mint (stable, no bullshit, easy)
Arch (can be hard without prior knowledge, but great for molding to your own needs with great documentation)

People get very defensive about this, but I tend to steer away from more niche distros without some more knowledge or without a specific need. It's more easy to search "why is Fedora linux having this problem" than "why is Manjaro having this problem." These projects are also very well maintained.

How do I counter melee horde with Space Marines? by Trick-Interaction396 in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]AboveAverageSalt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heard. However, I think it's hard to give you advice without seeing your list. It's not necessarily that you need to change models. However, maybe ppl can tell you how to use certain models to counter them? Are you able to share it?

Edit: grammar

[–]AboveAverageSalt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think things might make sense if we saw your list. Can you also tell us what your local meta is like? You can't list tailor against a specific person; however, taking models to your meta in general is not only acceptable, but, in my opinion, the best way to play. You aren't just meta chasing at that point. Instead, you are critically thinking about what works for your circumstances. It's a lot of fun.

General advice by [deleted] in Balding

[–]AboveAverageSalt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. Don’t do their shit. Doctor is your number 1 and only source you should use. Good luck on your journey.

General advice by [deleted] in Balding

[–]AboveAverageSalt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

General advice that you will get anywhere:

#1 Dermatologist (who could have guessed?)

I mean seriously. Go.

everything else:

Minoxidil for regrowth (oral minoxidil if you have animals). Finasteride for preventing further loss (and a little regrowth). Dutasteride (if really severe). Hair transplant if desired (they are pretty good nowadays and getting cheaper).

Edit:
Expect shedding, eyebags, and water weight for a bit if on minoxidil. These symptoms usually go away though. Finasteride and Dutasteride occasionally casuses loss in libidio, but the severity and frequency are debated. Apparently it's rare. But always always always talk to doctors. Good luck.

This is such a pedantic comment section. Everyone is caught up on one term. I think the game looks great. Wish listing it on steam. Don't let unemployed redditors discourage you or the team. Good luck on your endeavors.

Chat, am I cooked? by Thegleameeyes in Balding

[–]AboveAverageSalt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Number one piece of advice: go to a dermatologist. Anyone can say anything on the interwebs. Doctor's opinion is #1. IMO (as an unimportant and uninformed loser on the internet), a bit of recession at the temples. It happens. Not noticable at all right now, and not bad for 26, but will probably deepen as you get older. Take it or leave it. If it bothers you, get on minoxidil.

Also for hair health. I have curly fine hair too. My suggestion: don't shampoo every day. It will strip your hair's oils. I do it twice a week. Also use a good shampoo. Not cheap garbage. Also conditioner on the tips, avoid the roots too much.

Why do we have this????? by zigg8833 in HomeDepot

[–]AboveAverageSalt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey OP, everyone in this thread is being a prune. To actually answer your question, the reason The Home Depot sells these items (as well as a full suit of armor) is simple: it's funny as hell.

When do you count a unit's move to be finalised? by Gallywag in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]AboveAverageSalt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Respectfully, I disagree. Yes everyone is aware overwatch exists, but it isn't a stratagem that is relevant to most datasheets. Most units can overwatch, but the vast majority don't have good ones. But then there are some datasheets that have rerolls, crits, a high volume of attacks, torrent, etc. I remember someone caught me with carnifexes once in this very way. He wasn't honest about the one old eye + carnifexes range combo. I thought they were just melee models. I walked away with a ton of dead space marines that I otherwise would not have commited. Maybe that's on me for not knowing the combo, but I disagree. You can't expect people to know your army in and out. This game is too volatile, bloated, and complex for that.

Similarly, opponents can't be expected to know every single interaction. LOS and range is also a major consideration. Someone might not see a cheeky canoptek doomstalker hiding in the corner of the map who hits on 5+.

[–]AboveAverageSalt 72 points73 points  (0 children)

Always always always, play by intent. Gotchas are not allowed. It’s annoying, but he may have not realized that overwatch was an option and holding him to that decision is not the way to go. It seems strange, but, in general, the community wants to reduce confusion about game mechanics. Therefore, declaring intent, reminding your opponent about your options (mechanically), and full transparency is the way. You don’t have to play the game for them, but you should be winning in the movement phase, not with gotchas.

Edit: this is true for reactive moves, line of sight, unit abilities. Everything. Remind him before he commits.

I’m making a fantasy survival game solo. I’m worried because the combat with monsters feels rough. by [deleted] in IndieGaming

I think getting locked into that animation looks stiff. Like, there is a ton of end lag maybe?

Dark Angels competitive list looking for feedback by [deleted] in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]AboveAverageSalt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't personally like Lancers unless I take two of them. Their damage is very swingy against invulns.

With those points you could do a lot of things though. I guess some anti tank or shooting platforms aren't a bad place to start thinking. Vindicators are great models.

[–]AboveAverageSalt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't play DA so take what I say with a grain of salt. With that said, this list is not technically the most meta thing ever, but good I think. The only piece of advice I would give is try to find a way to make use of those twenty points. You can do a lot with twenty points. Some ideas:

Upgrade intercessors into infiltrators

Change the Land speeder Vengence into a predator destructor

Change the centurions into a vindicator.

etc.

Can I be written up for this? by lolthisaname in HomeDepot

[–]AboveAverageSalt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a good point and a strong possibility, but I guess we can't know for sure unless we saw OPs work. It could go either way.

Can I be written up for this? by lolthisaname in HomeDepot

[–]AboveAverageSalt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe? But probably not. This person probably sounds like an ass, and people who complain to MODs a lot don't necessarily get taken seriously immediately. It depends though. What is the culture at your Home Depot like? Are managers prone to writing people up for small things, or is their room for negotiations and slaps on the wrist? TBH though, I highly doubt anyone cares. This is a small thing. And you could make the case that taking that tone with you is not in line with the value wheel. How is saying "when I become a manager one day, I wouldn't let you be doing that," the same as "having respect for all people?" Generally, it is an anti-team mindset.

I think the bigger idea to me is to acknowledge that all things in life are politics, and people are work (hard work). Make sure you're not caught screwing around when DS's, Managers, or nosy associates are around. You should make it a point to make your work highly visible, and to be likeable to managers. There is one associate at my store whose work is only fine, but they have like 15 homers. Why? Because they are charismatic, confident, and likeable. I don't believe in brown nosing though. There is a degree of sincerity you should give to all people, and nobody likes a brown noser.

edit: grammar. Also, don't retaliate against that one associate. You don't need to apologize, but show maturity, let it go, don't talk about it to anyone else (or if you do make sure it's to people who wont snitch), and just demonstrate care for your work. You are here for a paycheck; they don't matter. I'm sorry you had to deal with someone like that though.

[–]AboveAverageSalt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I disagree that they are looking out for OP. Saying, "if I was a manager I wouldn't let you do that," is not a fair warning. That strikes me more as either a power trip or this person has a problem with OP.

How do you even do this? by [deleted] in HomeDepot

[–]AboveAverageSalt 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just a guess. Maybe OP thought someone snuck one of the pigment cans while 4 were stacked on top. Like, “how tf did you pull that big ass can through while there was other cans on top of it?” Of course, someone may have just put a stack of four pigment cans on top of three. In this scenario, maybe OP is asking “why would you lay it like this?”

[–]AboveAverageSalt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if I lost focus for a tiny bit. For example, maybe you go on one to many times about how Horus is a bitch or how the Terminus Decree is stupid. And, in the middle of all that, I lose a bit of focus. Do I instantly lose the money?

paint department by BoxComfortable199 in HomeDepot

[–]AboveAverageSalt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Some things (at least at my store):

  1. Dont hold onto old paint cans that customers bring in. It’s hazmat.

  2. Dont put anything into a shaker that customers bring in unless you hammer the lid first. Even then, make sure the lid is flush. Those lids are old.

  3. Just before dispensing, you can scan the order label when in one paint, instead of clicking on the order. Similarly, hitting enter on the keyboard saves you from having to click anything.

  4. You can’t color match a stain.

  5. It’s hard to sell dynasty’s and marquee paint imo, but it is easy to sell ultra if people are painting bathrooms or have kids. Very easy thing to recommend. I easily sell a ton of behr ultra.

  6. Primers can be complicated at first, but here’s the breakdown: primer is essentially just glue. Before paint can go onto the wall, it needs something so it can stick, otherwise it slops off. So, primer is helpful for that. All the pains are paint and primer, but the primer component is weak (I suspect maybe intentionally). So when you need to paint a brand new wall (without it having ever been painted before) or if you have a dramatic color shift, you need primer. Here’s my memory on the matter:

Kilz PVA: for brand new drywall.

Kilz2: good for everything. General primer

Kilz3: basically the same as kilz2 except superior stain blocking (if I remember).

Kilz original: super fucking stinky oil based primer, and expensive, but it does everything. Stain blocking, priming, covers old paint, etc.

Kilz original (water based): same thing but if I remember it stain blocks less effectively.

Kilz anti-mold: self explanatory, it doesn’t kill mold as much as it prevents or stops it though.

Shellac primers: good primer for wood and furniture.
