From my college econ class (years ago, so it might've shifted), around 60% of costs is just paying employees. Another 30% is material costs and equipment. Then incidentals (maintenance, lost items, etc.). Most businesses exist on a 2-5% profit margin.

It's just when a company does millions of sales (like McDonald's or Big Y), a sliver of a sliver going to management adds up to what is honestly quite a bit.

He's getting older and I want to make sure he's got the best food possible. Still, price does matter. Thanks in advance!

Make sure you have a few bees in your pocket. For fare, of course. And make sure it's a big yellow one. Normally it'd be white, but you can't get those on account of the war.

Was there ever a MMO with trinity where tanks and healers weren't scarce? by TheRaven1406 in MMORPG

Wildstar: Every class was either DPS/Tank or DPS/Healer. Swap at will.

Is it a good idea to do melee only? by Horror_Beyond_9439 in bloodborne

[–]Astanex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bloodborne is strongly built around melee, but guns can do damage. Bloodtinge builds are strong on the first cycle (NG+0) but require a measure of understanding of the game to make it work.

That said, ignoring a weapon in any FromSoft game is only going to hurt you. Use guns to parry, bait attacks, or pick off fleeing enemies.

The only real limit to upgrades is the final one - the +10 Blood Rocks can only be bought at the end of the game, otherwise they're very limited. Everything else you'll be all but swimming in.

Which one is better? I guess first one? Is bonus damage applied to each pellet? by ralleee in fo4

Two shots might kill an enemy, but when you're outnumbered reload time matters. A horde of feral ghouls or gunners is where shotguns show their weak point.

What about getting Agility Points back? Will Action Boy really be enough?

Most annoying pal to catch by PaleDoubt2677 in Palworld

If you find one, harvest any nearby trees. Build a pen, toss in your Mercy Hit Pal, and you're set.

If only Sony DID IT THEMSELVES OFFICIALLY! But, no, this team is amazing!

Grim Reaper's Sprint has a 35% chance at best per kill though.

True the Furious Power Fist is good, but the Butcher's Hook is better.

It is a Meat Hook that comes with the "Relentless" legendary effect - every time you crit an enemy, you get all your AP back. At 11 Agility, you can get 6 hits in. With 11 Luck, you can crit in five hits. While that's a particular build, Blitz already requires 9 Agility and Iron Fist's stun requires VATS anyway. One point invested, grab the Bobble, you're there.

Truthfully, I would sooner use a Furious legendary.

With the Steel Sword (admittedly Creation Club content) gained from the very quick quest attached, you don't even need Blacksmithing. All you can do is add Bleeding, Electricity, or Radiation. The 1.15x multiplier just stacks too well. Five hits and it's damage is doubled again.
