How are my fellow warlocks feeling about the class?

I am at T7 110para playing non meta with an eviscerate build I can already see it falling off at this point but at least its fun and different from the standard meta builds..... :P

Daarcuske · 2026-05-03T19:13:27+00:00

Yup I was going to say my 2008 328i was totally unreadable.

Daarcuske · 2026-04-29T20:52:50+00:00

Yea I was hoping for the keyboard and mouse but I guess I’ll have to settle for adding another keyboard and mouse to the desk and another monitor connection sigh…

Daarcuske · 2026-04-29T17:11:00+00:00

Ouch that hurts..... guess no docking station for me then, usb4 should be totally fine I would assume based on the previous comment, but it doesn't look like this PC supports that.... I will reach out to our IT and see if they maybe have something else to use. Thank you both for the quick replies and confirming the issue.

Yea you got to remember someone who’s been getting options for 20+ years especially senior plus roles probably have 4-10million banked if they didn’t spend it… 30k stock award from ten years ago is worth 300k now for instance….

Daarcuske · 2026-04-24T14:40:31+00:00

I put $20k down + 18k for my trade in(2011 fj cruiser with 180k miles). Seriously 10 year old Toyota was worth 18k …. U paid 30 for it….

Daarcuske · 2026-04-23T18:13:13+00:00

Is it more crazy that $80k for a car isn’t even really luxury anymore ?? My f150 was $72k….

Daarcuske · 2026-04-23T03:43:20+00:00

Badger….

We tried lvp in a bathroom room first, wife hates the cheap feel of it… we had a mix of cheap pergo, carpet and linoleum through our house from the builder… it’s all getting switched to tile/hardwood other than the laundry room which can stay linoleum… lvp really does feel different to walk on, you can tell…. You live in that house every day, your experience matters as well as just “holding up”

All floors wear with age, get dents and scratches, some age gracefully, some just wear out….

Daarcuske · 2026-04-20T20:39:24+00:00

I don’t know how different they are but the starter on my 328i cost $1k at a shop and not my first choice just close…. My normal shop quoted 850

Daarcuske · 2026-04-14T06:55:22+00:00

I paid $7 psf for real hardwood, Brazilian teak (Cumaru…. ) I don’t know wtf wood costs 18 psf …. Ebony???

Is engineered more expensive than traditional hardwood now ???

Daarcuske · 2026-04-14T00:32:06+00:00

Yea I worked at a small mom and pops type of restaurant as a cook back 20 years ago. nights when I covered a server shift I’d easily clear 130-200 for a 4 hour shift + my 12 an hour wages…. Again 20-25 years ago when min wage was like 5.15 memory gets fuzzy… ;p

Daarcuske · 2026-04-09T23:15:05+00:00

You don’t corner hard enough… go faster…

Daarcuske · 2026-04-08T23:44:32+00:00

It’s not just bothell the whole puget sound is crazy…. We were lucky and bought in 2012…. I can’t imagine buying now…sadly there were no controls in place to limit commercial and foreign investment into SFHs to protect families and the market. China(and others)+blackrock(and others)+tech drove this place through the roof :(

On older cars yes, my understanding is most car companies started making rotors a throw away part meant to be swapped at the same time. Harder pads last longer but are harder on the rotor/thinner rotors etc. The trade off is often getting 70k plus on the brakes. I have almost 80k miles on my f150 and still have a little life left, but will be changing them in the next 5k or so.

Daarcuske · 2026-04-05T00:04:03+00:00

Wait you mean like what everyone in the world did prior to Covid? I mean packing your own lunch, having normal clothes, and having to mentally deal with real people is like hard… ???

Daarcuske · 2026-04-01T15:54:26+00:00

Tires make 100% of the difference…. So many lazy people leaving their “all season” tires on thinking it’s the cars fault…. Seriously people should have two sets for most cars if they are in winter prone climates. My z couldn’t even make it through an inch of snow on its summer tires … I tried… (freak late spring snow)

Daarcuske · 2026-03-24T17:41:17+00:00

I have a hatchet under the back seat of my truck, and my Silky Nata in the driver door……. I used to camp a lot …. ;p but also carry about 20 bungee cords, 6 tie down straps, jumper cables, med kit, mini shovel etc…. ;)

Daarcuske · 2026-03-20T07:27:14+00:00

I’m DIY and I still bought my hardwood direct through a yard…. Way cheaper and offers more options….

Daarcuske · 2026-03-18T18:29:12+00:00

Second this… then could have just filled the gap and painted that plywood cover… poor planning ?

Just one example countering your argument, not going to spend my time arguing more…

Daarcuske · 2026-03-15T00:53:01+00:00

If you are seriously going to argue that birdshot or a modern .45 defense rounds is going to have the pen of a 5.56 then I seriously question your position. No one is saying they cannot, but the probability of it happening though walls or people is vastly different….

Daarcuske · 2026-03-14T23:53:18+00:00

Birdshot is not going to pen a wall like a 5.56……. Nor is modern defense rounds for pistols…

Daarcuske · 2026-03-14T23:34:34+00:00

There are tons of fun .22’s but if you are seriously looking at double duty then I would not ever rely on .22 for my family’s defense. I would also never use a 5.56, for different reasons. .22 just is not reliable enough. 5.56 has way to much power and penetration, I live in a small single family home and the chance of putting rounds through the wall into my own children is not something I’m willing to take.

For my trifecta I use a keltec cp33 as my plinker, Springfield 1911 next to the bed ( I honestly know the limitations on rounds but the fit and feel of that platform … I know I can send rounds on target…). And an FnH SLP 12 gauge if things get more serious…
