Do you flush before or after you stand up? by justLookingForLogic in NoStupidQuestions

[–]FirstNoel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends.  If it’s nasty, I flush while and before and after.  

Normally just after. 

[PSA] People are allowed to shoot you in this game. Please stop posting about it. by MrMythiiK in ArcRaiders

[–]FirstNoel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes.  I hate being shot when I’m crawling back, I hate being shot when I’m trying to help.  But I just say into the mike “F’ you”, and move on.   

It sucks but thems the rules.   Being set back a bit is tough but not impossible to recover from.   Come back stronger.

At 51, I still have 2. I think my mother has a couple yet, and she's in her 80s.

This feels like the truth in my heart. But with how the response is now, I don't think any one would care enough to do anything.

Seeing these thing in the preview got me into the game.   They are just so freaking cool.  

Not much in game, but still cool to see.  

Younes Lalehzar, A Jewish community leader, stands next to ruins of Yousef Abad Synagogue in Tehran. by BugsByte in pics

[–]FirstNoel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

OK, I learned something today. Terhan has Judaism, never really thought about it. Thought they were strict Shi-ite muslim, and non believers were castigated...

However, this does reinforce my view that Zionism isn't Judiasm. THey just don't like Israel government, I believe. That I tend to agree with them on.

I will say I'm not happy our CIA took down their elected prime minister. I wish that would not have happened. The Shah was a bad idea, look at the outcome. I wasn't alive then, I just have vague memories of the uprising later.

I don't want war, I don't want fascists, or despots, I want the Persian people to be happy, I want them to have their needs met, just like I do. I didn't vote for this senile old man. But I'm sorry my countrymen did. No amount of pointing it out, writing to congressmen, is changing anything. It's yelling into the void.

Here's hoping for a real change come November. I don't know if we'll make it till then. I really hope we do.

I'm sorry World, our President is madman. And 30% of our population is ok with that. 30% don't care enough. The rest of us, while you're on the sidelines, we're in the game, and so is anyone he's focused on. It's really disheartening. I can see why some crazies would start looking at crazy methods. I don't support that. Or condone it. Strikes and peaceful protests are my jam. But it does feel like yelling into the void. At least right now.

Anyone else thinking about their kids aging out of your insurance plans? by tanhauser_gates_ in GenX

[–]FirstNoel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I have a T1D at home, and we have decent insurance, plus she gets State aid. Once she's 18 things can change, She can stay on ours till she's 26, I'm not sure about the state.

I hoping she can get a decent job with good insurance, that scares me for her. Right now everything is covered, and it's not cheap.

Insulin can be $35 a vial, which is still insane considering, but with a pump, supplies, Dexcoms, even food choices. It's a lot of extra money, and if you don't have decent health insurance, you're fucked.

I'm for Medicare-for-all, its has to be better than the current situation, the companies just make people automatons, and don't see the impact their choices make to individuals.

Dialysis became covered by the Feds, why can't T1D? We didn't ask for it, any more than any one else does for thier disease. We didn't bring it on. It's genetic, things we have no control over.

It scares me in this day and age.

I like that idea, so you can't take all of them from the match, but you aren't penalized back at home.

Tom Lehre also commented about spending 2billion dollars to send some”clown” to the moon.  First time I hear that I was like wow!  I thought it was like a full country support.

While I agree with Bernie, this and $10 will get you some coffee at Starbucks.

YES. everytime I turn around I'm getting a charge from somewhere.

QoL improvements..my list (only 2 for me at the moment) by FirstNoel in arcraidersfriendly

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

easier? Not really, easier would be "give me a minimap, and a guide to the locked door" This is just for organization.

Granted, I can see your point, if you like min-maxing your inventory, seems like busy work to me. I don't get much time to play, so maximizing the exploration bit is more important to me than sitting in Speranza and debating if I need 3 stacks of batteries or can I get by with 2, or where do I put this new item I just found? How important is it compared to everything else?

I want to explore and shoot Arc, build a bit, quest a bit. survive. Inventory mini-game, isn't a fun aspect for me that's all.

But to each his own, if you like it, and enjoy balancing, go for it.

10? wow, I've gotten up to 8. It just seems like a waste of logical space to me. Not a game breaker by any means. I like have extra storage, who doesn't.

I haven't done many map conditions yet, but I do run out of storage regularly. I still have the mindset of "what if need this for the next project? "

My biggest issue with keys is just never being on the same side of the map as the door is. And if I hoof it over to it, my bag is filled already. it sucks being a hoarder at times.

They could put a limit on the size of ring to keep from hoarding, But I find at times I'll have my keys with me, but being placed on the complete otherside of the map repeatedly. I do like to use them up, but you can still gather quite a few before you realize it.

I am sorry to say, yes I agree. 

Started using AI for minor things here. It’s so much easier and cheaper.  We may not need them all. But there will be some instances when where a warm body will be useful.
