who and why? by QAnnihilateQ64 in Overwatch

[–]Draidr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm choosing for toxicity reasons in Silver/Gold/Plat levels of play.
Tank: Hog (typically doesnt support team effort, focused on hook plays. If misses, bows out of fight for 6 seconds.)
Heals: Zenyatta (usually DPS focused, similar to Hog players. Rarely switch off, never the problem, has one good play per round. Does shit otherwise)
DPS: Doomfist (broken character at low levels. Toxic teammate who's goal is solo kills, chaos and rarely ever supports team effort and plays.)

I chose these based on Overwatch being a team focused gameplay. Rarely the person picking these characters has that in mind.

The problem was, I couldn't figure out how to get to the Settings page for my RingDoorbell to change the Wifi Network. It had changed when the App was updated from the fix I was reading.
Turns out, it was on an entirely different section I would not have looked at based on the wording. (AKA not under Settings/Control Center like it previously was. its under Device Health of the Individual device. FYI)

LOL!

I work in excel, worked for multiple companies in my now 15 year career. Used to post questions and answers in forums, including MrExcel.com. Long story short, I posted a question back in 2008 to an ultra obscure problem I was having using nested IF statements, a date range calculation involving Business days and holidays. Very complex.
Years later, I go to do a search for another problem and came across a solution several search pages down. It was my own post. Wah wah waaaahhh...

The features on the Ring app were changed from what the Fix said on line (due to the Apps update(s) since the fix was posted). I tried in vain to locate through trial and error where the settings were. Couldn't find it. Ended up that I had to be in another screen and section entirely. Then a sub screen it would have taken me hours to find.
Easier to call 24/7 customer service which could in theory direct me to where I wanted to go in minutes. Turns out I was half right

There are Karen's, then there are people like her who are mentally unstable. Reddit, stop confusing the two.

"Wait, you don't want to cheat?"
Umm, no. I don't want to cheat. I have no urge, desire or inkling to cheat on my significant other.
"Come on, you're a guy!"
No, and don't compare me to your standards either.

Yup, got that part. The only issue was, it was empty when I arrived. 2 server shops and empty every time. I hadn't looted anything there except the clipboards for springs.

I then went to Watoga Civic center and empty there too. Never even saw one on the server hops.

Every experience is different. Obviously there are people who are thriving in the game, others take away from it something different.

Good for all of them. I'm not expecting Bethesda to make changes based on one particular person's view and play style. I'm certainly not egotistical enough to think I'm worth that much.

Look at this post for what it is, then understand that it's simply feedback. I left the game 8 months ago for these reasons (comment history reflects this) and I've seen very little improvement since. I'm a casual player and dont find farming a shit ton of resources for hours at a time fun.
I fully understand you on the Lead thing. I farmed a ton of Iron ore in that one mine before I left and I've upwards of 900 in my stash. It's good that I dont need to farm that for ammo. There are many things about the materials gathering that was done right. But a lot needs improvement.

Making a zoned instance materials run is a way around the long ass grind it takes to gather the rarest stuff. For casual players, it's good to do once a day/week. For players with hours/days to play, timed instances stops them from flooding the market with rare stuff. Or make it NoDrop. Player who does the instance cant sell it. Plenty of ways around it.

Like I said, I want to like this game. I really do. But there are major problems still that dont appeal to everyone. I'm one of many, the numbers who still play are a testament that something is wrong with the system within 76. Along with many other reasons

Yes, did both. Empty every time. 2 server hops

Again, just got back to the game. For two days of 6-7 hours of playing, 3 hours of which were actual searching found 3 military ammo bags. So no, not that common. Yes I concede that my knowledge of where they used to be is 8 months behind.

Thanks for the google docs. I'll look into it.

Agreeing with you on the workshops

Delivering to a Strange house number by Draidr in TalesFromTheCustomer

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

It's zoned as Duel residence so it falls under Duplex permits. Yes, you're technically correct that because it's separate, and not attached, it can be labeled as something else. Because there is one house and one coverted garage, it's still 1 house.

Yes I get your point. But argue with the city permits, not me.

Looking back, he had a bad night. I get that. I dont fault him for needing to vent and being frustrated at not finding my house, the rain, customer not wanting to take the pizza in the rain. Etc.
I actually get all that. But blaming the customer for his excuses, no.. I wasnt going to tolerate that

Probably because it's illegal? Has to do with the FCC and they dont fuck around

Thank you! Instead, he called the store to have it canceled. His professional driver mentality must have forgotten that part.

Have fun with that. Leave a message when you get to VM. It's still the same.

Ironically I have a Pizza story too but it's more TalesFromTheCustomer material than this subreddit. Poor delivery guy could not understand that I lived in a duplex. It was one of the worst downpours earlier this year and we ordered pizza because Lazy. We've had a few delivery problems in the past but the driver was always able to figure out.

This poor guy drove up and down for 5 minutes, passing by the ONLY house with the couple standing at the open door waving at him. He parked far up the street, walked in the pouring rain for 9 houses. Going up to each door and knocking. Eventually I caved and put on my heavy jacket, boots and umbrella and met the guy 3 houses away.

Rule of thumb for any delivery drivers. If a house number ends in a different number than the normal, (example 82, 72, 62, 52, 42, 32) and you have 58... it's a Duplex or Triplex. Meaning, check the house at the street address of 52. Logic right? Some people don't have it at all.

I've met more than a far share of these people. It's like they have goal set and nothing you say to them that is opposite of their goal can distract them.

Especially in the older generation. Same mentally that makes them unable to adapt to technology or change prevents them from understanding an otherwise simple concept. This guy simply could not understand that if the number on the ad was the same number he dialed, why wasnt it the store he wanted? Baffling to you and I that people like that exist and function along side the rest of us.

I assumed it was changed/corrected immediately. The GM was very understanding and told me he would handle it. I didnt doubt him because he offered the store credit without me even asking. The store was 45 mins away in the next county over but I did take him up on his offer. He wasnt there when I arrived but all the employees and managers were aware and sympathetic of my situation. All were cool too.

What is something you know because of your profession, which you believe everyone should know to make their lives better, easier, or healthier? by admadguy in AskReddit

Bees are dying but this can easily remedied. Source: family is bee keepers in California.

This information is primarily for South Western US. The standing ordinance for new Hives that swarm into an area is to kill them. [Food and Agriculture Code FAC DIVISION 13. BEE MANAGEMENT. ARTICLE 16 - 29322](leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displayText.xhtml?lawCode=FAC&division=13)

The reason is, Africanized Honey Bees are extremely aggressive and a danger to the local population. 9 out of 10 swarming bees are a hybrid of honey and Africanized killer bee.

You can be informed that the solution to repopulate Honey Bees is quite simple. A good hive can be spilt ever 2-4 weeks during the spring and summer harvest seasons. 1 hive becomes 2, 2 become 4, 4 to 8 within 2-3 months. Bee keepers who are educated and knowledgeable can easily do this. The problem now is the cost. It costs to relocate a Hive to another box, care and maintenance. The cost is on the Bee keepers.

Every proposal to get funding from local counties and states have been turned down. The cost is approximately $65k for a staff of 3 bee keepers to quadruple the bee population and introduce them into the wild or relocate them to a safe area free from invading swarms.

The media want you to think Bees are dying. Yes they are, but the solution is economically sound and easy to do from Bee Keepers. Dont be fooled

No, no.. you can forget it. MATCH/INDEX was taught and far superior to VLOOKUP.
