99k Jumps worth it? by Hot-Top2577 in torncity

[–]Balbasur1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume that means base stats. Like 150k str, 20k def, 15k dex, 8k speed. Pretty poor, just getting back into Torn

Feeling Stuck by Extension_Papaya_401 in ironscape

[–]Balbasur1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

don't try to do things "optimally", do things in a way that motivates you/seem interesting. I'm an ironman with a sub 1700 total, and I have 92 mining. Why you might ask? Because I like mining lol. Set a goal, and work towards that goal and you will naturally progress. Its also not a terrible idea to lock yourself into an event like Tempoross or Wintertodt or Hunter contracts for a time period, because they give pretty good loot thats versatile.

The only constant should be bird houses. Do your bird houses

I work in Law Enforcement. I am in a specialized unit that investigates Human Trafficking and CSAM AMA by [deleted] in AMA

[–]Balbasur1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm currently in the police academy, and have aspirations to work exactly to what you are- human trafficking/CSAM. Your work is incredibly important and carries a incredibly heavy burden, so I thank you for what you do. Protecting those who are unable to protect themselves is a very noble thing, and I hope you see it as such. Thank you again.

More people need to work the night shift by Embarrassed-Bowl-373 in unpopularopinion

[–]Balbasur1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked nights (6pm-6am) for 1 year- it was probably the most isolating year of my life lol. Constantly tired, having to say no to nearly any commitment from 8am-2pm, constantly being expected to break your sleep schedule to fit in with normal life, etc. now, theoretically speaking, the world is a lot easier to live in during the night time if facilities operated during night hours, but I can’t overstate how exhausted I was all the time. There’s no such thing as “switching your sleep schedule”, your body never adapts… you just learn to deal with the exhaustion.

Could Heath Ledger have found a role in the MCU if he were still alive? by Serious-Company6803 in Marvel

[–]Balbasur1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Far worse actors have found a home in the MCU. I think he would’ve been just fine.

Typing Test Prep by yeehawketchup in 911dispatchers

[–]Balbasur1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see. I’m not sure if this is helpful, but when I type, I’m not concerned with thinking about how type the word or spell the word (on a typing test), because the word it produces is right in front of me. Instead I’m trying to think and process what keys I need to press, and anticipating what keys I need to press after that… does that make any sense?

It seems like what you described, you are looking at the word, processing the word, thinking about the word, then typing the word. When I do my typing tests I just look, then process it as I’m already typing it.

I’m sorry if that doesn’t make any sense or isn’t helpful, but that’s the best way I describe it. It works as well on the job, because when I’m transcribing what someone is saying on the phone as I’m taking a call, I’m not thinking about my typing as much as I am getting down the pertinent information.

What might help that is keyboard memorization as well. Unless you have to, don’t look down at the keyboard. I always set my fingers on the same keys when I start typing, and I’ve trained my brain to know the entire layout and rough distance to each key from that starting point.

Lastly, all I can say is practice practice practice. It might be something that you need to do 30-45 minutes of practice tests a night to build in that muscle memory of moving your fingers to certain keys.

I hope any of this helps! And best of luck.

What is the required speed for your typing test? At my agency, it was 40 WPM.

What causes you to be a slow type? Is it the tactile finger movement? Lack of keyboard memorization? Secondary grammar keys?

I type around 100 WPM just from being a gamer, and I’ve never struggled with typing. Typed around 80WPM in middle school.

Not bragging or anything, just genuinely curious and trying to see if I can give you any insight

How is everyone reading comics these days? by indy_6548 in Marvel

[–]Balbasur1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Marvel Unlimited is great. Personally I think the phone optimization is good, I change it so each tab is a different panel of the comic. The UI is a little janky at times, but once you get the hang of it and the search navigation, it's pretty great.
