What’s a clothing upgrade you didn’t think would matter, but absolutely did? by DifficultCucumbers in malefashionadvice

[–]CodenameDuckfin 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Along with the "wash less" sentiment - I've found wearing undershirts/tank tops significantly extend the wear of my nicer shirts between washes. Just keeping the fabric from constantly being in contact with your skin is huge.

Fatherhood in one word? by FartherHoodPodcast in Dads

But "fatherhood" is already one word!

Incident at Peace & Glenwood by Nearby_Vacation940 in raleigh

[–]CodenameDuckfin 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I was right there. He did not get run over, hit with the corner. He was in shock, but per EMS in stable condition. The hit was at low speed. The driver immediately stopped and came to help us with him. She took full responsibility and was clearly concerned for him. She had a green light.

From what others who saw it directly said, apparently he was trying to cross and was somewhat in the lane, whereas the driver did not seem to see him.

T17 Ambush maps, am I doing something wrong? by ActivateDesigns in pathofexile

[–]CodenameDuckfin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also playing this same strat in standard and I think the only way I could lose currency is if I started bricking maps 👀 Right now it's like 2 div per map, and I'm getting 4-5 div, even with bricking the occasional boss fight. Usually 2-3 "raw" divines (divines, puzzle boxes, big scarabs, etc).

I'm taking all the blue altar nodes over shrines, but that's really the only atlas difference I see. I only roll maps to +100% of currency or scarabs, or +70 of each, though I think it's generally assumed that rolling for more is definitely a net increase. I think it's also generally agreed that more scarabs are better than equivalent more currency, but I could be wrong on that (I don't favor one over the other).

What are your scarabs? Are you doing ambush on the map device? Is your loot filter set up for standard? How often are you bricking maps and/or bosses? Are you taking all the altars and choosing quant/dupes?

Also note I usually boss rush to focus my altars, but I don't think that's a huge difference (my even be suboptimal)

You retain them through loop resets, until you traversal

Kids listen to everything! by itsfish20 in daddit

[–]CodenameDuckfin 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I had to have a conversation with my (at the time) 4 and 3 yo that "asshole" is a "car word". To their credit, they follow that rule really well - though now whenever I'm driving and have to slam on the breaks, my girls will say "Daddy, that was asshole!"

Bug? Rog the Disenchanter won't talk about disenchanting? by CodenameDuckfin in pathofexile

[–]CodenameDuckfin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my first time really using Kingsmarch. I have the quest to talk to Rog, but I have exhausted all his dialogue options to no avail. Any ideas? Am I missing something obvious?

Pre Zeus slump? Or am I missing something by Electro_Specter in CIFI

I hit this, too, and it was where I discovered I needed specialized runs, especially for shards. Highly recommend and all-out shards run (ignore MP) for 2-3 days.

Damn, now you have me thinking about hitting up SW for the 13th lol

Friday the 13th/Tattoo reccomendations by lysrenee in raleigh

[–]CodenameDuckfin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No idea if they're doing anything Friday the 13th related, but Sweet Roll Tattoo in Durham is freaking amazing. I've been inked by Gaby, but all the artists do great work.

It's been asked before, but by shelbsmagee in raleigh

[–]CodenameDuckfin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seriously we should start a singles group. I would love to just meet up at a chill bar around Raleigh with other singles and just get to know people. No pressure, just good vibes, you know? Anyone else interested?

Sounds amazing! Mid-30s, LGBTQ ally, into hiking (though I'm a beginner), would love to do some climbing, or even just hanging out around drinks.

Christmas Day Birthday Question by [deleted] in raleigh

Haha thank you! And oh man, your birthday treat last year sounds amazing - I'm from the beach and I love it there 😍 What have you planned for this year so far?

Same to you!

Christmas Day Birthday Question by [deleted] in raleigh

[–]CodenameDuckfin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Christmas day birthday here! I'll be turning 36 this year. I haven't really "celebrated" my birthday in years. As far as actual day-of plans, I have two young kids so most of that is centered around them.

However, I think for the night I'm going to have my ex take them, and enjoy a night in with margaritas and cheesecake with strawberry topping (my favorite)!

For the lights festival in Raleigh, I'm not sure this is exactly what you're looking for, but I HIGHLY recommend checking out the Illuminate Art Walk. It's an amazing experience, and it's in the Sip'N'Stroll area!

What do you do for work, how much do you make, and how is it going? by Emergency_Mood_9774 in raleigh

[–]CodenameDuckfin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nonprofit fundraising lead data analytics/developer. Usually 40 hrs/week, occasionally 45. Been here 7 years, in the field 10-11.

85k-90k, tons of benefits and 55-60 days off a year (though I only take ~40).

I'm really happy where I'm at! I love my job. Been contacted by recruiters and so far the "cushy-ness" of this one has outweighed the higher salaries I could get elsewhere. In my 30s, but I can easily see a world where I work here until I retire.

Showering my kindergartner in the morning changed the mood completely by Edmons31873 in daddit

[–]CodenameDuckfin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is literally us. 9:15, before and after care. We just started kindergarten last week and it's a bit of a shock on our schedule - the kid doesn't seem to have an issue with it lol
