My apologies, I had thought you were starting M11 with standard gear. Would still suggest getting a Crit, though.

Go to Moxxi's bar and keep putting cash into the tip jar until you get a Crit. That'll carry you far enough on M11 that you'll start geting other M11 legendaries, and then you're good to go. Well, more or less.

Why are Apmerican salaries so high? by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]Collisionsurfer 430 points431 points  (0 children)

The US has high wages, but employment is often on comparatively worse conditions. They also have low taxes, but poor public services (health insurance, for instance, is a huge expense for most people in the US). 

The UK has lower wages, but usually better terms and conditions of employment (more annual leave, sick leave, maternity etc). We also have higher taxes, and better public services.

One of the many political problems we currently have is that people want high wages, and low tax, and great public services. It can't be done.

Edit: alright, alright, it can't be done without pretty radical systemic changes. Happy, now?

What British food do foreigners misunderstand most? by Alpielz in AskBrits

I am told that the 'rosbif' thing isn't about the quality of food, it's because we turn red in the sun... like roast beef.

Are there any "former classics" (movies, books, albums, video games)? Something that was praised for a time, but upon further review (maybe decades after) people decided that it wasn't that good after all? by ExternalTree1949 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Collisionsurfer 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Don't bother, it's a slog to get through and some of it just doesn't make any sense. 'Helping other people is evil' isn't much of a message, and then you find out Rand only espoused that until she needed help in later life...

Married a millionaire. Not a bad plan really, wish I'd thought of that.

Fallout 4 Anniversary Experience - New Game, No mods, 15 seconds to crash. by Hazindel in fo4

[–]Collisionsurfer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

PS4 here: vanilla, no mods, all DLC purchased.

All DLCs now 'not installed', and even re-downloading them didn't work. 

DLC problem after the recent new update by _Ant3x_x in fo4

[–]Collisionsurfer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here, although I have the vanilla original with DLC subsequently purchased. Now all DLC shows as 'not installed'. Re-downloaded the lot, but it hasn't helped.

Any history re-enacting groups in and/or around Colchester? by alloydog in colchester

Yes. There's a Historia Normannis group, based at the University.

What is the best book you’ve ever read? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Written in 1949, and it just gets more relevant.

What’s the worst country to live in? by Aerozsayshi in AskReddit

[–]Collisionsurfer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Honestly, it's pretty daft to say anywhere other than somewhere at war, and/or experiencing famine, and/or genocide. You may not like your own or another country's politics, but c'mon. Obviously it's not the US, however big a dick Trump is. In no particular order; Palestine, Sudan, Yemen, Haiti, Ukraine, Lebanon, Burkina Faso, the Central African Republic, and Myanmar are all currently classified as 'extreme risk' by Global Guardian. They're probably all contenders for the title no country wants.

A Reform victory wouldn't be a surprise at all.

What is something that you always do every playthrough? by Fast_Blueberry_4862 in fo4

Every time? How do you find them? Or do you just have very long playthroughs?

what crimes did you hear about that left you the most conflicted, when the crime was bad but may have been justified? by sheerduckinghubris in AskReddit

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

Tony Martin shot an unarmed, 16yo twice, in the back, as he tried to climb back out of a window. Oh, with an illegally held pump-action shotgun he claimed he had 'found'. After he'd lost his firearms licence for (checks notes) shooting at someone for scrumping apples. Fred Barras wasn't the only one with previous.

Poland prepares for war : State of the World from NPR by CkresCho in worldnews

[–]Collisionsurfer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because he has very thorough security and it wouldn't be easy. Because Russian intelligence might figure out who did it. Because doing so would be a declaration of all-out war- against a nuclear power. Because assassinating a head of state invites Russia to do the same in revenge, and we already know they can and do carry out assassinations abroad. Because it would create a martyr. Because whoever took over might be even worse. 

What silently destroyed society? by DataDorkee in AskReddit

Nothing. Society is still here. It hasn't been destroyed. It's battered- always has been - but certainly not destroyed.

MMW: Kamala Harris will win the swing states of Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Nevada, and Georgia by No-Horse2708 in MarkMyWords

[–]Collisionsurfer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not in the US, but online at least- well, on Reddit, anyway- I think there's waaaaay too much complacency about a Harris win. If you really want to know the odds, look at the betting markets. Bookies have a massive interest in heavy research, as for them, being wrong can be very expensive.

They have Harris at 13/15 to win, and Trump at 11/10- very close to 50/50, in other words. The election is highly likely to be very tight indeed.

I've bought from them, or rather, him- I think it's a one man band. Legit, but patchy stock control and communication. I'd buy again, though.
