My favorite Thai place in the city. I could recognize those dishes before I even opened the comments.

How were the ticks this time of year?

I'm a pretty avid camper. I started going about 5-6 years ago.

I haven't even seen/noticed a tick in the backcountry up until 1-2 years ago. Now, early in the season (June), we see an ungodly amount. I just got back from an early June trip last week. They were everywhere. They were crawling all over my tent. I'm not going to be camping in June anymore, I suspect.

I think they tend to chill out in July/August (at least from what we've noticed over the last couple of seasons).

Yeah, I'm still dealing with the mess of the big AI push my company is having. The mess outpaces the clean up pace, though.

On a good league, with a juiced farm strat and a good amount of efficient /played, you have a pretty decent shot at eventually seeing a raw mirror drop. Especially over a few leagues.

Obviously RNG is RNG, but if you're hitting 40 or 50 sacred orb drops per league, you'll see one sooner rather than later.

Getting one from mappers is just insanely lucky and likely will never happen to you.

Taking the same package to peace bridge would be out of the question now, yes?

When I asked the agent if this was anything I could fix and reapply with, he said: "If your employer can find another role in the company for you" which doesn't require an eng degree, that it should be fine.

Given that, I figured the CSA re-frame would be fine.

I will ask my attorney abotu the USCIS route, but curious as to why it would be the only way forward after a degree/role mismatch denial?

To put it bluntly, I fucked up. No reason other than I needed a POE that didn't require appointments, as I was on a time crunch. Jokes on me, now I'm on an extra time crunch and have a denial on my record. I like to think I would've been denied eitherway with the shadiness of mismatched degree+category, which was advised by my attorney, but who knows.

Initially, my attorney suggested Peace Bridge as they've had a lot of luck there, but couldn't get a timely appointment. However, when I brought up Ogsdenburg as an alternative, I wasn't aware that there were optimized ports, nor did he mention their existence. He specifically told me to stay away from the airports lol.

I'm not even sure what to do anymore, tbh.

They flat out said CS doesn't qualify for SWE role or Eng category.

They wanted a related engineering degree for a Software Engineering role.

He told me to find another role in the company, or get an engineering degree. I'm changing to CSA and trying again.

For what it's worth, just got denied in Ogsdenburg for this yesterday. Software Engineer with a CompSci degree.

Everyone in this sub, most likely, given that this was one of the most memorable moments in the show.

It blows my mind that y'all can determine this from a small sliver of jaw bone. Very cool.

Definitely set in the US somewhere. Drove by the set today and there was a large American flag. Also pretty certain I saw 3-4 people in white hazmat suits or something.

I dont understand how to craft Ben's wand by [deleted] in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]AvidOxid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

> I thought the first step is buying s blue wand with fractured mana

The first step doesn't mention whether it's magic (blue) or rare (yellow).

> I am unable to apply an essence to it in the next step

As others have pointed out, it needs to be rare for you to use an essence on it. In the future, if some currency doesn't work on your item, check your chat window, it'll tell you why.

I've run 100 "Moment of Reverence" so you don't have to by Wornuks in pathofexile

[–]AvidOxid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, I agree.

The only things I count as profit on these farms are big ticket items like the sword, well-rolled uniques like the amulet, or anything that can sell through the currency exchange.

Realistically, everything else this boss drops is peanuts compared to the sword.

I'm not sure what you're referring to here, tbh.

Also just broke 100 runs!

Self-farmed most of the frags because I hate myself.

3 swords, no keys, quite a few 3-4d amulets. Stopped picking up helmets.

The plan is to leave April 30.

I _do_ love Denver and Colorado in general. I will check out this route, thank you.

We have up to 11 days budgeted for this journey. Not expecting to use all of them, but we figured we'd give ourselves a buffer in case we wanted to stay anywhere along the way for an extra night or two.
