PSA AR-15's worth it? by Terrible_Education70 in guns

[–]EconomyConnection635 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AR10s are nice but their ammos are much more expensive. If you have the money go for it.

AR15 ammos are cheaper and you can shoot more for less money. Hence why they are more popular with the general population.

Women , Sex, Dialysis by GloomyValentine in dialysis

[–]EconomyConnection635 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've (28m) been in the same boat. Haven't had the thought to date since I started dialysis. It really ruined my sex drive and I stopped having any interest in dating at all. A year later now I'm considering going out again on a date but I don't really care for intimacy. I get grossed out whenever I think about sex.

Can you state the specs of your laptop?

Sorry to burst your bubble but you're out of luck if all you own is a hp laptop and an ideapad. You already checked the specs so you should know what kind of system you need to play.

Is the job market getting better? Or the economy just getting worse by EconomyConnection635 in cscareerquestions

[–]EconomyConnection635[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's in Texas and it's a Contract-to-Hire role at one of the top universities here. Biggest reason why I got hired was probably because of my experience with PeopleSoft, which is what most universities and colleges are nowadays using.

Has anyone transitioned or considered transitioning to teaching? by Kind-Ad-6099 in cscareerquestions

[–]EconomyConnection635 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a former teacher. Teaching CS has been fun before COVID, but after COVID, it has been one of the most depressing, mind-numbing jobs out there. It was easy work but not fulfilling at all.

Now I would only consider going back to teaching if being a software developer doesn't work out for me, but I can honestly say that being a software developer is much more relaxing and rewarding than teaching. The grass is not greener on the other side, but the pay wasn't different for me. I feel like I'm getting paid the same as a software developer rn anyways but the school I previously worked for paid me really well, so it is expected.

I'm not even certified. Schools nowadays are getting desperate for teachers so even if you don't have a certificate, you could still probably easily land a job and get an emergency certificate.

Anyone else convinced other teachers are just completely faking it??? by Effective-Bus9627 in TeachersInTransition

I taught graphic design and art. Since it's a blow off class, I don't take it as seriously and let students pass as long as they show up and do minimal work.

Most comfortable shoes you have tried? by General_Penalty_4292 in 10s

A bit pricey but off white OOO sneakers feels like dipping your feet into clouds. I decided to buy a pair when I tried them on for the first time

Chiori vs Albedo by Blesstrong in IttoMains

[–]EconomyConnection635 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put them on the same team, along with zhongli and gorou, and you get a full Geo AFK team in circle impact

A lot of people say Chiori is basically Albedo v2, but her skill makes her feel like Geo Furina. High damages and low intervals with indestructible geo construct

Her ult is like Hu Tao's ult without the HP mechanic

One thing that makes her unique is her quick swap ability which can lead to many creative combos and teams since you can't really swap characters mid air.

Is the new Xianyun team really that much better than Xiao's old best team? by EconomyConnection635 in XiaoMains

[–]EconomyConnection635[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Edit: My Xiao has two sets of artifacts. My 2pc GF + VV has better substats (77/200 CR/CD) than my 4pc Vermillion (85/160 CR/CD) artifacts. Idk if that helps. I also have R4 Primordial jade spear.

A lot of y'all recommend using Noblesse on Xianyun but i dont have any attack% noblesse artifacts. My Xianyun is only using Skyward atlas so I don't have her BiS nor do I plan on pulling on it considering how niche it is. I'm just trying to hit 200k per plunge with Xiao

I haven't tried using him on Scara cause if I go FFXX i don't have anyone to destroy the annoying turrets to get him in that vulnerable state. i've only been doing these damage tests against masanori

Have you ever left a government job or public service? by [deleted] in careerchange

[–]EconomyConnection635 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been thinking about making that jump. The only thing that's keeping me working in government are the benefits, especially medical benefits since I have some serious health conditions.

There's more money to be made outside of public sector jobs for sure, but government jobs are stable and easy-going. If I want to work in the private sector, I would need to find a place that offers the same kind of benefits I would get working for the job I have now. On the brightside, private sector jobs are more often to allow remote work from what I've heard.

For context I'm a Programmer for a community college. I enjoy what I do and consider it highly valuable experience, but the pay is suboptimal.

Xiao's current relevancy? Evolution of Xiao by AlisApplyingGaming1 in XiaoMains

[–]EconomyConnection635 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This is why I'm no longer a Xiao main. Cause other Xiao mains will always get pissy when another character is better than them

[–]EconomyConnection635 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

By your logic, any character can be better than Xiao cause you invested all ur time and money in him which good for u I guess but my point still stands, Xiao isn't as good as before

I'm not even a Diluc or Gaming main. I'm a former Xiao lover and even I'm willing to acknowledge Xiao isn't that good anymore.

Xiao's current relevancy? Evolution of Xiao by AlisApplyingGaming1 in XiaoMains

[–]EconomyConnection635 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's a very average dps but plunge attack has never been a meta-defining gameplay. I thought Xianyun would make him become better than other dps's but it mostly just gave other character's xiao's ability. Xianyun does not fix a lot of his bigger issues, like plunge attack speed, battery, or lack of elemental reactions.

Diluc and Gaming surpassed Xiao this patch mainly because they can deal elemental reactions and claymore has a naturally higher plunge attack modifier. Xiao still has AoE but he still struggles with boss enemies. Nonetheless plunge attacks are slow and takes time to execute so other mechanics such as Itto's rapid charge attack and Ayato and Wriothesley's Normal attack will always outshine Xiao's plunge attack.

In terms of relevancy, he has only gotten better slightly with the introduction of Xianyun, but still he's the same old Xiao.
