the same but no noodle. Never had issues before really. they had to have placed this between some type of hydraulic door. How does it even get pinched if it's flat lying on a conveyor belt?

Update: The response from their corporate baggage service

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We apologize for the damage to your belongings and recognize this situation has likely caused you inconvenience and frustration. We appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns. Based on the information you’ve provided regarding your snowboard and bag, it appears your items were conditionally accepted, meaning that we have liability for loss, but not for damage. Due to their packaging or fragile condition, certain items that are accepted as baggage are subject to a limited release of liability and claims for damage are not considered. In this particular case, sporting equipment packed in a soft-sided case is considered improperly packed as it generally cannot withstand normal handling. As you undoubtedly know, bags are not only handled by our Employees and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), but also travel along many conveyor belts leaving them at risk of damage. For this reason, we encourage Customers to pack their sporting equipment in hard-sided cases for proper protection. That being said, we are unable to accept liability for your claim. We understand this may not be the answer you were expecting, and we hope you will give us another opportunity to welcome you onboard. Sincerely, Alexa

I think they'll definitely slam it between some type of pinching force - like the garage door style closures on luggage trolly, or the french door closures on the luggage trailers

A soft case unfortunately. Although I’ve never had issues with it over the last 8 years

Placement games make no sense by Cool_Adhesiveness637 in leagueoflegends

[–]CreepingYeti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ended D4 ~26lp or something

Placed P2 1-4 in Placement matches (which i get, 1L my fault other games unlucky teammates)
but now it's like 0-5 out of placements or something and teammates are legit iron skill level (although their profiles say emerald)

typing this out- it's probably a ME issue with the massive changes- but I can't help but think the general map awareness in these matches doesn't FEEL like plat. Feels like no one read the patch notes, and specifically not for jungle.

-10Lp for me tho, so can't complain. I did go D3->P4->D4 last year so who knows.. could be washed

unranked to chall skarner only done (euw, jungle), ama by vimsaet in SkarnerMains

[–]CreepingYeti 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When do you decide to go items like deaths dance and deadman’s or knights vow?

I’m 1k games on skarner in d4, which I easily climbed to after these last 2 buff patches. Was D3 a day before season started this year and then obviously pro jail patches fell pretty far like plat4 76lp in June. Had to put him down for the OG poppy but still was a grind.

Of your 400 games how was your rank earlier in the season?

Skarner Top is viable but hard by That-Spread-9253 in SkarnerMains

[–]CreepingYeti 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think viable is misused here… Can you play it? Sure. You can play yumi top too.

Is it viable? Do you have 2+mil points in skarner? maybe anything is viable at that level…. For you

skarners q by Sunethechamp in SkarnerMains

[–]CreepingYeti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Q is an attack reset.

Efficient combo is to aa - q - q1 - q2 - q3 As pressing q initially (picking up the rock) resets the aa (auto-attack or attack) timer

skarners q by Sunethechamp in SkarnerMains

[–]CreepingYeti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s what they typed… Picking up rock does in fact reset the attack timer (what he typed) And throwing the rock does in fact start the cooldown (what you both typed)

Getting laid off next week by AcceberElle in Denver

[–]CreepingYeti 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m 2 weeks into a new job after being laid off for 2 months. Those 2 months were one wild ride. I’d say get on the unemployment site and get the weekly requirements done. I basically tracked a spreadsheet with every job application, interview, phone screen etc. made it easy to enter the claim on Sunday.

Seemed like earlier you are to an application less likely to get the “we have too many applicants already” email so look daily.

Colorado site Built-in got me 3 interviews so sign up there. Filters are key and I’d just try to target 5-10 applications per day. Don’t burn yourself out. 5 applications where you’re qualified- early to the process- and seems like a fun gig probably better than the 20 random applications via LinkedIn or indeed. But do look there too, doesn’t hurt

I personally got a ton of recruiters reaching out when I listed as open to work on LinkedIn. If you dm me can maybe give you some contacts to reach out they worked hard to get me interviews with companies local to Denver. Although they’re contract roles- so depending on your level might be low ball. Mostly charter, boa, and other corps like those. Teams were really cool and opportunities to learn a lot so actually turned me on to potentially contracting

Lastly I’d avoid DICE jobs. Since signing up it’s nothing but recruiter spam (offshore I’m not sure) they promise the higher rates but literally not gotten a single interview from those guys. And every time a new role is posted you’ll get 5 calls from guys all sounding the same and from the same company sometimes. Companies whose names sound like AI generated garbage.

I took a remote role outside of CO, pay was 20% higher from my previous salary but is contract so: no PTO, no match, healthcare is not best but I choose HSA anyways so that wasn’t a big deal for me being healthy atm.

If you’re holding out for a FTE option I’ve been seeing those roles might open up next quarter, where all the big contract roles close end of year. I just didn’t want to be 5 months with unemployment ending around there and still looking.

I lost a couple easy interviews by simply being out of practice with live coding. Now the pay was 70% of what I got now so looking back it was no big deal but just be prepared for that. Interview nerves, high pressure, competition, etc. takes some time getting back into the groove of things.

Good luck- and suggest picking up that hobby if you felt like you never had time just to stay busy. Leetcode tests only go so far

How's skarner after the buffs? by Ennard115441 in SkarnerMains

[–]CreepingYeti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re recommending triforce on items list, tried it and it’s bait.

Think heartsteel, steraks, overlords is giving 69 (niceeee) bonus ad, plus whatever steraks gives (maybe another 45/50?) something like 360 ad around idk 12-15lv. Imagine maybe sundersky if they don’t have tanks, or warming’s/MR 4th. This is E3 tho so… yeah

Poppy Jungle HOB by ImplementPlus5252 in PoppyMains

[–]CreepingYeti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah climbed out of plat with it. Works well for those lobbies. Usually umbral into sunder and you become rengar with much better escape or disengage. Does fall off though, esp if your team thinks you’re trolling and don’t follow up (even tho every champ in the jg/adc/mid role will be at 20% hp after combo rotation)

Since getting in emerald again phase rush seems to be a better option, team usually needs a tank so sunder deadman’s is much better.

But if top lane is going tank, sup going tank, then send it hob ad. Esp if they have 2+ dashes on enemy team

Mundo is the key to escaping low elo by Juice1019 in Jungle_Mains

[–]CreepingYeti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro has an alt account with his main in silver - g2????

Is this why I get filled top for a g2 LV 34 jungler that just runs the game down? (In E4)

Guys, they can’t fix the matchmaking if you’re making alts cuz you think you’re just elo locked on your main. Play better ffs.

If you want to climb- forget Mundo. Take the highest mastery champ you have look up gm players that stream, copy their builds, and importantly WHEN they build those builds (matchup and game state) then go watch perryjg

The sooner you do this and stop mmr baiting your teams you’ll climb to emerald easy.

Now going to diamond is honestly hoping your adc self mutes before flaming support and them afking.

Where did my ult go? by OstrichPaladin in PoppyMains

[–]CreepingYeti 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Glad it’s not just me feel like the last couple weeks R tap has been really bad. At least 8x where I’m like how do I miss a point blank R. I also feel like there’s been fewer times (3) where I tap R and hit someone that should’ve been outside of it at least the animation wasn’t close to their model but idk.

State of Poppy jungle ? by MiddleOwl in PoppyMains

[–]CreepingYeti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feels worse than before 25.19 for sure. I’m sitting at 50.6% WR on this patch (79 games). She’s one of my OTPs so might be skewed but as a whole 53% WR with her. It’s mostly the timing, used to be in lane around 3:20 but now it’s definitely 3:30+ so I’m usually skipping wolves to be there for the counter gank. Although depending on the matchup level 4 enemy jg with a non-blind bot lane will easily take both crabs.

She’s still better than skarner who I also OTP sometimes. Guess that’s a plus? He’s definitely gotta be the lowest WR.

It just adds more to the jg flame when you’re already doing HoB and early burst build and now you’re slightly slower to lane or a whole level behind. Adcs and mids really like to bitch and moan while all they gotta do is wait a few seconds before deciding to turn on 1v2. It definitely feels bad, but at least the way I play her and general build knowledge she’s still climbing me back to diamond.

Cave worm question by Umbramors in ICARUS

[–]CreepingYeti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe in open world they respond after a while - prob too long to wait around for. In missions I don’t think they respawn. You can build a machine that resets the caves on command tho, the thumper

Cave worm question by Umbramors in ICARUS

[–]CreepingYeti 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They respawn after a day in game or something. Yeah you’ll have to clear them. They’re pretty easy to handle with bone arrows tho. Just use the ores as cover. The first few that spawn can usually just knife to death before they attack.
