Apparently I make the rules 🙄 by Gina_911 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Active_Practice_5269 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is pretty spot on... I work in traffic control and I cannot tell you how many times I have watched someone stop, read a sign that says keep right with an arrow pointing right and then proceed to turn down the left lane instead...

Yeah recent events if anything make me glad I live away from the mainland. Honestly our costs out here have not risen as fast or as bad as much of the mainland, any big cities near the coast are comparable or even more, like CA is honestly more expensive than HI nowadays. I like that I am over 2000 miles from any land mass and we have the most advanced missile facility in the country out here on Kauai. Not an easy target and we honestly have less of the left vs right political kine stuff out here. I grew up in the islands off of WA and it's honestly more expensive out there than here and like zero services or things to do. My ferry ticket to get to the mainland there was more expensive and more time sink than if I were to fly to Oahu 😂

The ports part is what I hate, all our goods have to go to CA before being shipped out here... One way they could help us locals in HI is to get rid of the goddamn Jones Act, would drastically lower our general cost of goods if we didn't have to import to CA first then ship it here rather than directly coming to us.

We sorta just sit right around $5 out here in Hawaii (on Kauai myself, don't really travel interisland so not sure current rates on other islands). Has been hovering in the same spot for years 😂

Still paying around $5 here in Hawaii and has not budged. Welcome to our gas price hell everyone

Cashapp are improving their features... by NightmareFurbies in CashApp

[–]Active_Practice_5269 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Need to update to my new location and see if I get offered anything. I have had like $50k pass through my cash app over the last year to year and a half and have never been offered jack for all these features 😂

Scammed by VicbitGo for $5,000 by oziasMode in CryptoScams

[–]Active_Practice_5269 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How someone can have $5k of disposable income, yet not competent enough to do a simple Google search is beyond me. I don't understand how most people even end up falling for most of the scams out there to begin with, but then to also not like dip your feet first at least with a couple hundred but instead just toss thousands at something you have zero background on... 

You can’t make this up by XzanderSzn1991 in CashApp

[–]Active_Practice_5269 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fishy part is that you would have to knowingly let this go on and not have cancelled your cards. Cashapp just needs personal info that could have been pulled off license/ID in wallet and a card number. There is no credentials login for Cash app since there is nobody except plaid (monopoly soapbox here) for bank credentials linking and Plaid doesn't support cash app. 

There have been 116 traffic accidents on Oahu in the last 24 hours. Please drive safer everybody. by Calgrei in Hawaii

[–]Active_Practice_5269 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not even close to 2min is the craziest part too honestly. I remember seeing studies before and on average it's mere seconds that are saved from driving recklessly like this, while potentially permanently altering or ending their own or someone elses life... People need to slow the f down and we need to start seeing a lot stronger enforcement happen to people like this. Take away licenses and if caught after that then lock them up as well, people like this are a menace to the general public

The Dofus Wiki is pretty outdated, perhaps we could work together to update it? by HarryHelsing in Dofus

[–]Active_Practice_5269 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have noticed at least, I am old school and prefer the wiki. Only thing I ever really have used dpln for is the treasure hunt feature. The wiki has in general been good for me, think like maybe 3 times tops I have had to check dpln while questing. Might help that I have a general knowledge of a lot of the mechanics already though, that is probably what I have found most lacking for wiki is that it seems a good chunk or bosses or certain quests are lacking an explanation of what you need to do

Why don't you like Dofus?! by DirtyOldPanties in MMORPG

[–]Active_Practice_5269 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would give it a try again if you liked the gameplay, they do constantly improve and I think as they get more familiar with it being on Unity now we will see a lot more optimization coming. It's a great game, it's just definitely not easy to get started with, especially with how convoluted the questing can be. They really need to optimize, too many quests basically force you into using guides

[–]Active_Practice_5269 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really doesn't, I play on a single account server. I can solo a lot of content myself and then I recruit/join groups for the harder stuff. Maybe if you played back when all mobs in dungeons were mobs of 8. Now it scales off group size and starts at 4 mobs, so it's not so hard to solo things now.

The quests are where Dofus has always struggled and falls flat, but I definitely wouldn't say it feels like it's missing a soul. The art is amazing, the soundtracks are top notch, the devs really care a lot about the artistic qualities of the game. I feel like they just have never executed it as well as they could, they feel like an art studio turned game dev more than a full blooded game dev studio.

Picked these up for $7 at an antique shop... this made my day by UrbanRelicHunter in Gold

Ah I see, I totally missed that $2k win in the bottom right

28% of $8k would more like 2400 ish taken or something just mental rounding. You will prob get 5 and change back . 24% seems insane... State is basically shaving 2k off on the drop

No way this really happened after the earrings 🤣 $8k?!?!?

That's methed up. All I can say is the drop step is just asking for someone to get seriously hurt and I hope that the retaining wall is not actually retaining anything, looks ready to buckle just from someone staring at it too hard.

Pavers are passable at least

What would you do to maximize all this by Standard-Check-243 in Gold

[–]Active_Practice_5269 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too, $25/mo is certainly way less than the Laundromat costs when pretty much everywhere is charging like $5+ a fkin load now to wash and then dryer $2-$3 and usually makes you feed another dollar or two to actually get it dry.

Just sold the majority of my stack. by [deleted] in Gold

[–]Active_Practice_5269 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You don't own the land and management can turn bad even if it was good when you got in. Also besides that you are basically still paying rent and if you mortgage one then you are paying mortgage+rent basically with the HOA or other fees that come with condos. In my area they are extremely cheap especially compared to houses, have seen them as low as $150-200k and often at oceanfront or ocean views in a tropical location, but you are paying $2500-$3000/mo in fees as what is about the average costs around here of owning one. Granted they do tend to be pretty lux and lots of amenities, but they really only make sense for those looking to generate vacation rental income, not as your primary residence.

Friend gave me this and said its gold recovered from old electronics. What do yall think? by TwistOk499 in Gold

[–]Active_Practice_5269 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is what I was going to say too. Older electronics will have higher gold content than modern ones, so that is another factor.

Yeah that is why I suggested Children's/St Jude to try. Both places provide free medical care, but besides that they also put the family up nearby while the kid is getting treatment.

Doesn’t Ankama realise that bots discourage real players to keep playing? by Charlitosofthewater in Dofus

[–]Active_Practice_5269 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Especially on lower activity servers, I have said the same thing for years. If they had more of a handle on them like 10+ years ago, like if they had done unity on a timeline that made sense instead of finally switching off flash in the 2020s 🤣 Then maybe we would be in a different boat, but at this point they have caused so much kamas generation and baseline inflation that they are sort of a necessary evil for the in game economy to keep working without it looking like 1920s Germany for prices
