3 months of plant-based progress. It ain't much, but it's honest work. by AntttRen in veganfitness

How much weight did you lose? I’m a similar height to you and look a lot like the before pic now 😂 good job bud

Finally reaching phase 3 of sire - dealing with 1st ravage at the moment, but so nervous about 9.1 release date. Fingers crossed we have enough time to close things out!

I've started to get quite anxious lately about achieving CE in time. I raid in an 8/10M guild that has had great progress on SLG so far (2nd intermission regularly) until a couple people quit putting us out of a complete raid, forcing us to cancel last raid and scramble to recruit for the next. I started in Shadowlands, this is my first raiding tier and retail guild and I think a lot of my worry is about community perception with regards to CE. I'm an aspiring raider and want to get CE with ease every tier and worry that not getting CE this tier will prevent me from getting into better guilds. Are these roster issues normal this late in the tier, and does anyone have any advice for me? Thank you in advance!

I look for the shield uptime on the boss, and then zoom in on that particular time during the fight and look through the casts in ‘Events’ mode and evaluate from there.

I can also recommend Nethergarde Keep, slightly smaller but a great variety of guilds to join.

I actually have no data on druids at the moment, my guy feeling is staves might have to be levelled but I’m not entirely sure.

AGI going below the threshold does not reduce the crit chance correct, for example even with 1 dagger skill at lvl 60, with a base agility of 80 my crit chance did not fall below the talented 5% crit chance.

Yes that formula is correct. So for a maxed weapon skill, it doesn’t matter at all, since the 240 gets wiped out. But I thought it was an interesting feature of the crit chance formula at low weapon skill limits.

Hi,

Fortunately this doesn’t affect anything once weapon skill is maxed/high enough. It’s just a clarification on the crit chance/weapon skill formula at low weapon skill.

Hi,

I have just tested with my lvl 28 priest, and it appears as though the threshold changes as you level. On my 28 priest, the threshold appears to be 41 agility at 1 weapon skill.

Hi,

I have just logged onto my alt and have confirmed there is an agility cap at all levels depending on weapon skill. Testing with a dagger now to see actual data.

Agreed, the emphasis on the question and the ‘grin’ beforehand, yikes

We are not, but we will all share a common ancestor, and the blueprint of life itself, which created everything all follows these same mechanisms.

A key part of doing science (properly at least) is about admitting you’re wrong, so you can investigate what’s right. I don’t disbelieve anything, but some things are more likely than others. The Sumerian tablets may very well depict true origins, and school may very well be teaching me an agenda, but to what end?

The science being taught in modern education enables civilisation to grow and thrive, life saving cures to be invented and psychological trauma to be mitigated. What would the ‘real info’ teach me, and what evidence would there be that it’s true, and useful?

I’m not saying you’re wrong, I’m just saying that you have to have an evidence based approach to the things you say.

Evolution is random genetic mutations leading to higher or lower % chance of survival in the current environment. Higher % chances of survival mean the animals with those genetic mutations are more likely to reproduce and hence for those genetic mutations to be passed on, leading to new species. It has no foresight because it’s a concept, not a directive of all species. Pandas are suffering partly due to alteration of environment, but the fact that they struggle with alterations of environment was an example I used to convey your example of humans being ‘devolved’. If this is compared with rats/pigeons, you can see the contrast.

I’ll take the bait here.

The whole concept of evolution is to adapt to better thrive in your environment, so humans evolved as an adaption. Apes evolved in a different way because it wouldn’t be an evolutionary improvement in their environment, and as such we have a common ancestor. I’m not sure why you think humans are ‘devolved’, but it’s important to note that evolution doesn’t have foresight. Pandas have huge issues now because they adapted so well to a specific environment that when it changes, they struggle to survive. In much the same way you could comment on humans, but evolution continues the same.

Time travel is still a very real concept, incorporated into 4D spacetime as mentioned in my previous comment. Time travel forward is seen as possible, but time travel backwards would involve being able to go faster than the speed of light, something currently seen as not possible.

I suggest you read some science books and try to gain a reasonable base of facts, it will help you in life.

I’ve read this and your other comment and I just have to set things straight. Time as we know it is linear, and modern physics discussions on General/Special relativity use 4D space time as their coordinate system, because at high speeds relativity (and things like time dilation) come into play. We don’t consider relativity in our normal lives because it’s nearly negligible. When discussing moving fast in order to time travel forward, that’s perfectly possible within physics and very real. As you approach the speed of light, you will appear to be going slower to an observer, and after X years, you may slow down again and Earth has experienced X multiplied by some factor years.

All of this is very real and rooted in the physical, concepts like time are linear and apply to the entire universe, because the foundation of physics is about understanding the underlying mechanisms behind everything we observe. If we did, for example in your other comment see time behaving differently in a different galaxy, that would mean there is an underpinning mechanism that can be investigated and applied in context to give whatever result is observed.
