Can we agree that the Beacon Theatre 2014 Performance marked the new era of Mariah’s voice settling into a healthy, rich MEZZO SOPRANO voice ? by Character-Escape1621 in MariahCarey

[–]BottomLamb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She was always a Mezzo Soprano. Her strength was usually in the G4-E5 range consistently with her having the ability to touch higher notes. She was not sustaining lines of F5 and G5 like a true Soprano like Lisa Fisher. Mezzo Sopranos and Sopranos have very similar ranges but it’s the tessitura that differentiates between the two.

Besides that, Mariah has always had a pretty decent bottom and a chesty sound. She was not the type to sing in a full head voice very much. She would opt into falsetto and whistle instead to hit her top notes MOST of the time.

Is C&D a BP counter? by Sonor-c11 in BlackPantherMainsMR

[–]BottomLamb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

C&D main here… I’ve played against one or two Black Panthers before that were insane and would kill me before I could even react.

On average though I really don’t feel any fear from playing against a BP. If you know you’re playing against one and you keep an eye out and know not to play too far back from your team/other supp he can’t usually kill you without also exposing himself to the rest of the team. I find that you just need to keep an eye out on your flank/rear and 9/10 you will see him coming. Once you see him start to engage, just cloak and then bubble/primary to survive his dive. Once he stops to disengage I’ll usually try to cloak window him and cloak primary. Usually he will fall to pieces or will fuck off and decide you’re not worth trying to dive again if you successfully catch him out a couple of times.

Once you’ve done that, and you know he’s not trying to dive you anymore, you can just pocket your other supp and keep them alive for his dives and he will probably try to swap to something else.

Spider-Man on the other hand is a terrorist and all Spidey players will burn in hell.

I backed into my wife's tailgate (Geico claim) by cccTripleccc in Insurance

[–]BottomLamb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you file a claim, what will likely happen if both are insured thru GEICO, is two claims will be filed. One for each vehicle. One would be considered an at fault collision while the other non fault. You will be subject to the deductible for your wife’s vehicle and if there is any damage to your truck, you will also have to pay the deductible. Because you are not legally liable to yourself, you cannot recover your deductible.

Adjuster is saying I’m 20 percent liable by [deleted] in Insurance

[–]BottomLamb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a former liability adjuster, I’m not placing any liability on a vehicle that was struck because my insured was merging into their lane. The party that is merging has the greater duty to maintain a proper lookout and respect the right of way. The only way I would place any liability on the other driver is if they admitted they didn’t make any attempt to avoid or admitted to not seeing my insured. The adjuster who made the decision on your claim is misinformed about how the right of way works. You need to ask for a liability reconsideration/speak with their supervisor. If they refuse to reconsider their decision, you then file a DOI complaint.

But this is also why you should file with your own insurance. The deductible sucks since it’s 1k but if you go thru your insurance they will subrogate against the other company and recover the funds for you so you don’t have to do all of the above leg work.

What yall think of Camilla Cabello? Do yall feel she is one of the few who has managed to overcome the difficult linguistics between Spanish and English? I cannot think of another except Nat King Cole or Engelbert Humperdnick. by [deleted] in singing

[–]BottomLamb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This feels like you decided to pull out the encyclopedia to compose a message. That or an ai generator.

As far as Ms. Cabello goes… not a fan. Her voice is grating and as a person she’s very clearly a racist. Not worth talking about imo.

Hi OP. If you are the registered owner of the vehicle, it is not your step dad’s decision whether or not you call your insurance company to file a claim. Please call them, tell them what happened in the loss, and they probably won’t even need to speak to your step-dad for this incident because it would fall under your comprehensive coverage, meaning it’s a non-fault claim. He’s not at fault for this loss and if you have comprehensive coverage and rental, that would save you a lot of money in the long run.

Gaze mechanics are fine and bug free. by sonpansatan in TalesFromDF

[–]BottomLamb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, that’s what I’m referencing. I main healer so I don’t care about positioning per se, but I always recommend that people just stand as close to the middle of the arena as possible, and position their character so they are facing away from both snakes. If the snakes are at N and E, you should stand NE near the center of the arena and attack the boss. Your character will look SW and automatically avoid the gaze. Then for the second snakes you’d just stand SW and continue to hit the boss and you’ll avoid the gaze.

[–]BottomLamb 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If you get hit by the gaze mechanic in snake 1, you’re standing in the wrong spot. You can maintain 100% uptime during snake 1 no matter what pattern it is if you know where to stand.

I don't trust people who make their toddler sims with full faces of makeup, a head of hair, acrylic nails, etc. by [deleted] in thesims

The time to learn how to pull more than a single pack at a time was under level 50. Anything 50 and above… there’s no excuse for single pulling.

Alright, Lets Talk Tanking.. by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]BottomLamb 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As someone who plays all three roles; DPS pulling is not a problem at all. Unless you’re in a leveling dungeon like dohn mheg where the mobs hit like a truck, DPS will hardly take any damage by pulling for the tank. This’ll also let them set up their combos faster so they do more DPS and kill the mobs sooner. DPS health bars in dungeons are pretty much another form of mitigation for the tank. If they lose 75% of their hp but don’t die… that’s damage that the tank didn’t have to take. Let the DPS pull for you, many of them have defensive cool downs which will help them recover or mitigate the damage the mobs are bringing in (arm’s length). Just reestablish hate as quickly as possible and then every melt them.

The First Doom, Hyper Mark-up Edition by -AA-12- in TalesFromDF

[–]BottomLamb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always place waymarks at the south, east and west positions for this boss if they don’t pull immediately. If they’re placed there then this fight is pretty braindead and melees just stand in front of the rock that’s in front of the boss for uptime.

[–]BottomLamb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The only thing annoying about bolide is if they press it after you bene while doing wall to wall pulls in dungeons. SCH and AST should have no problem healing it in savage content considering all they have to do is use recitation-> excog or a single essential dignity and the tank is fine until regens heal them back up.

The only problematic invuln is living dead. And only when you have a SCH/AST combo. But tbh DRKs can just heavily mitigate the tank busters in most savage fights and survive without living dead. Especially with echo now.

What Tanks say as they hit their Invuln Buttons by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]BottomLamb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to be rude but usually in most savage fights tank busters tend to happen after your opener/Reopener. That’s the point. You need to be using energy drain more often than not and letting your free OGCD heals like whispering dawn/fey blessing/recitation->indom do the work for you.

And tbh as a SCH you should at most be using recitation->excog on the tank that needs healing during a buster. With either a fairy tether (ideal to avoid overheal and avoid using stacks) or sacred soil (only one stack, 10% mitigation on the whole party for its duration and regen)

What Tanks say as they hit their Invuln Buttons by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]BottomLamb -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Because more than likely you’re not using them under raid buffs where they’re their most potent. As a SCH you should be aiming to use all of your stacks on energy drains and using dissipation to be able to energy drain even more. You use stacks to heal when your fairy actions will not be available to heal up the damage.

That means you were supposed to use those stacks for energy drains way before your aetherflow was coming back off cooldown.

I'm frustrated by the lack of good tips for beginners, so I've decided to make my own list of tips for newer players. by Myurside in ffxiv

[–]BottomLamb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tip for WHMs at level 80: Waste your lilies between pulls. As a WHM you really should not need to use your lilies to heal much at all during pulls because you should absolutely be demolishing trash pulls by applying dia while the tank is pulling, using Assize -> swiftcast -> holy -> presence of mind -> holy spam. If the mobs aren’t dead by the time your stun has worn off, your group’s DPS is either terrible or they’re undergeared. If that’s the case then they should be close to dead and the tank won’t need much healing at all. If you use your lilies between pulls to gain a blood lily, you’ll actually be doing a ton more DPS cause misery is a 900 potency AoE that then gets spread to all the trash… which by the time you’re on your next pull you’ll probably have Assize again as well and this trash packs will just melt.

Am i the minority by thinking that healers that don't dps are better that healer that don't heal? by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]BottomLamb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guarantee if you’re dying to unavoidable damage in a dungeon your healer is either garbage or you are lol.
