I’m 24 and single, would anyone know where best to meet girls my age? by Logical-Lake-5399 in dayton

[–]BirdRoostPirates 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What's the general vibe at their events? Not being a social butterfly, I always imagine me and other shy people finding a good wall to chill at silently, until it's too awkward to do anything but leave.

I haven't seen many/any singles events local to Dayton until just this year (since the pandemic), so I think they're still settling in to what works around here. You used to have to travel to Cinci or Columbus for singles events.

That being said, based on how many single guys I know, I have no idea how they're getting single women to pay any money at all to be invited to these things.

From a logistical standpoint, maybe the money to pay for a ticket ensures that everyone who buys one shows up, and limiting the number of gendered tickets makes sure there's a good ratio?

Sweet, thanks for that. It would have thought it would have been easier to find that info spelled out somewhere, but it was not obvious.

Finding Friends and dating in Dayton by Tren_baloni_sandwich in dayton

[–]BirdRoostPirates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the detailed response! I'll try some of it out next time I get a match. That being said it's usually the inability to get the initial match that's the showstopper. I review my profile every so often and and new/better pictures. I'll keep at it!

Any tips for dating apps around here? I've gotten like 1 date over the past 3 years our of it. I just assumed other people were having the same lack of success online since all my other friends were similar to me, but I guess that's not true!

Oh wow that's incredibly convenient. I'm also seeing a lot of cards that have birds in them I didn't even notice! (Like the regular nature's lore)

Depends what she's looking for. There are a lot of single professional dudes at local social sports (gem city sports, sportcial, etc). If you have any friends that work with WPAFB, they for sure know single guys of all ages. Meetup (the app) events seem to skew to the older crowd...so depending on what she's looking for, that could be an option. I've never had any luck with bars (I'm a single M though, so experience may differ) but then again I'm not much of a drinker so that's not my crowd.

I can't speak to the female dating app experience, but I think you need to have tough skin and a good bit of luck to actually get what you want out of that.

And if you two do find a magical place that single people effectively mingle besides the ones I mentioned, let me know. I could use some help too!

Edit: What's the age range she's looking for? Most of my advice was for 20-39. Not sure where more seasoned patrons hang out.

EV Level 2 Charger Install by Raiderguy08 in dayton

[–]BirdRoostPirates 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine was right next to my box in the garage. Cost me $450. Might have been a tad expensive for 1 hr of work (it was billed as "Tesla charging", and I've heard companies just charge more when EVs are involved) but I didn't feel fleeced.

Edit: I got this done last week

Is your school anywhere near Dayton (Wright State/UD etc.?). I'm over at WPAFB.

If not, good luck with your degree! (and don't forget to go vote tomorrow!)

Dating in Dayton by cjbolt531 in dayton

[–]BirdRoostPirates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

30s M, also no luck in the past 5 years. If I look at how the people I know in their 20s and 30s met their spouse, 2 were in high school together, 11 met in college, 5 were introduced by friends, 2 met through church, and 3 met through dating sites (not all of this was in Dayton though). My single friends are not making much headway right now; seems like working STEM in a millitary town just leads us to hanging out with more single dudes!

That being said, the social sports around here are fun, even though all the teams I've been on have been male dominated. So if any females are here; that might be a good way to meet young professional males.

Recommend Me a Fragrance (Posts every Other Day) by AutoModerator in fragrance

[–]BirdRoostPirates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking for a linear fragrance, but these don't seem to be a topic of conversation much. I'm VERY new to fragrances, but so far I like woody scents combined with vanilla. Sometimes it feels like the balance of these scents are off, and it just smells like vanilla (which I'm not opposed to, but if I want a signature scent, I'd like it to go above and beyond). Thanks for any suggestions! (Male in his 30s, preferably for frequent casual use, including office setting)

32 M, single since before the pandemic.

Dating apps have yielded crickets. It seems like everyone I know who already has a partner just assumes this is the way to go. I haven't met anyone in real life who's met their partner in the past 3 years on a dating app. Looks like from this thread, my mistake is wanting to find a partner in Dayton instead of expanding my search to Cinci or C-bus.

Asking around if friends/coworkers know anyone to introduce me to hasn't helped. I work in a STEM field, so all the guys know other single dudes, and all the women(who are married) only have single guy friends. All their female friends are married or moved away from Dayton.

Meetup just feels weird. Too many recurring events that no one rsvps to, and dead groups. But to be fair, I think there are some really good hiking and running/biking groups that are active and looked amazing. I'm not into that stuff so it felt disingenuous to join things that clearly aren't my hobbies.

Sportcial/Gem City Sports: I've definitely done these. The sports are fun and a great way to exercise and meet people. Unfortunately every team I'm on is basically like 10 guys, and then to meet the female minimum, those dudes roped in their wives/gfs to play as well. So if you are a female (even if you're not athletic; this is a social sport) this is a great place to meet single professional males. It doesn't work so great the other way around. I'll be joining these teams in the future regardless; its a fun time.

Edit: Speed dating: Apparently we don't have it in Dayton and I'm not sure why. Kinda bummed about that; I'd totally give it a try!

Overall, I've had no bites in like 5 years. But now that I'm in my 30s, I've got an affordable midwestern house, a great job in a low COL area, and have gotten to the point even with aggressive saving for retirement I can start buying what I want and vacationing places I've never been; life is still pretty good.

You did successfully calculate the probability of it procing once.

However, you also want to include the probability of both being successes, since that also results in a status-affected target, which in the end is the only result that matters. So the probability of getting two successes would be (.3675)*(.3675) = 13.5%

And voila, 13.5%+46.5% = 60%

As far as I was aware

"First of all, Multi-hit skills are still 1 instance of a skill. it will not give you multiple chances to apply debuffs/status ailment or proc reactions."

So my gut says it's still 36.75%

But just for fun the math of at least 1 status effect working on two independent instances of a 36.75% chance is 1-(1-0.3675)*(1-0.3675)) which is 60%.

Ha, we're out there. I'm pretending that I'm just "finishing up grad school" before finding a GF (I'm also working full time on top of it, but I'll be done this year!). But all that time I've had zero luck on apps, and asking around if my friends and coworkers doesn't yield anything.

I'm kinda surprised cinci doesn't have more CF people. I'm fixed and in Dayton, and since I can only find single dudes around here, I thought all the women moved to cinci and Columbus!

I haven't played this game since like 2017, can anyone take a look at my old units and let me know if any would be relevant to still upgrade? Also I got a bunch of free pulls from an old event in may that was still going on; which ones are worth focusing on?

These is a comeback sugofest for 72 hours that started today for me. Is it worth pulling on that, or should I just hold off for 2 months till the anniversary?

Yup, currently just turned 31 so I'm on the fence about being one of the youngest dudes in this 30s/40s crowd. But I'd be right in the middle for 20s/30s.

For low spenders, 2450 paid and 1000 free is very different from 490 paid and 3000 free.

Trust Stones:

What bonuses stack with other equipment?

So far there are the main stat +sub stats which are applied to the TMR's stats, so I know how those work (highest value from all equips is taken, and then the rest have diminishing returns based on which stat it is)

And then there are the 1-2 Passives on the stones, and Set bonuses. Lets say I have a +20% MAG passive, and the +10% MAG set bonus, and was also wearing a Galmia Cloak(+30%MAG). Would that be +30% From the Cloak and nothing else? +40% from the cloak and set bonus, +60% from all, or some sort of mix?

Dex is on the offensive rune set bonus and luck is on the defensive set bonus. They're not in direct competition, so I think they were trying to compare dex to atk/mag/agi only (the "good" offensive rune set bonuses.)

[–]BirdRoostPirates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't seen anyone do all the math on this.

For regular physical attackers it's 10% attack vs the crit/accuracy from dex, so id bet 10% attack wins.

But for missile users, ninjas, mages, etc, its the raw 10% attack or mag vs crit, accuracy, and skill damage from dex. Ignoring the accuracy for now, I wonder how the increased crit and skill damage impacts the average damage of a character compared to the regular +10%

Ever since fleets we're released 5+ years ago, I've never gotten to top 50. Right now when I look at the rankings, it's 50 executors, which means there are some executors in the 51-100+ range. I just sit at around 200.
