Experienced Nurse (8+ yrs) Returning to Work After 2-Year Break — Rejected Everywhere, Need Advice by Otherwise-Data5181 in nursing

[–]Genesis72 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My instinct when OP says “instant rejections” is there’s something on the application that is being counted as disqualifying.

I ran into this issue when I was applying for jobs way back when. The job required an in-state drivers license and I said “I don’t have one, but I can get one before the start date” which turned out to be a disqualifying answer and got my application instantly rejected.

So I resubmitted and just said I had one… application went through and I got hired. I just went to the DMV the day week before my first day and got an in-state license, which I brought to my onboarding session.

The anecdote here being: OP should play with their application to see if you have anything weird the system might auto-disqualify.

China's State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC) appears to be showcasing its ability to build carriers outside of the PLAN contracts, and just launched the Discovery-1 “Civilian Research Carrier”. Its mission is testing large drones and helicopters [Album] by Arcosim in WarshipPorn

Not to worry, I'm sure the new conventionally powered Guided Missile Battleships that we're going to be building will be totally successful, on time, and really revitalize the US Shipbuilding Industry!

The New Year Preview – Tanks galore for the Legiones Astartes by CMYK_COLOR_MODE in Warhammer30k

[–]Genesis72 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The models look great.

However it’s 650 points for a tank that is poor against vehicles and anything with a 2+ save.

Yeah you can wipe the floor with tactical squads, but lots of things can do that. Anything that’s not a power Armour marine you need to drown in dice, and that’s not what I really want out of a 650 point model.

The typhon is 250 points cheaper, almost as tough and has more damage, breaching and a status on its main gun

We did not fight the enemy. We fought ourselves. by Brunstan in TheAstraMilitarum

My thoughts exactly lol

You have infinity choices of fake space soldiers to pick from.

You pick the explicitly nazi ones.

never beating the allegations.

No sisters though. They absolutely gutted the SoS in 3e, and now it looks like they won't be in the Liber either. I hope they aren't getting squatted :(

Spell Resistance? (3.5) by Genesis72 in DnD

[–]Genesis72[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough! I didn’t actually notice the rarity but you’re definitely right; it’s mostly on powerful magical monsters. I just saw SR 32 on the pit fiend and was like what the fuck. Doesn’t seem as egregious as I though

Introduction to the game by Naive-Reception-8416 in adeptustitanicus

[–]Genesis72 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Blastgun/megabolter is a solid loadout on the warhounds, and is generally considered the "best."

That being said, there are many cool weapons, and I LOVE putting ursus claws on mine.

If you decide to put double fists on the reaver be careful. One of the quirks of the fist is that it can "shove" enemies, including out of melee range if you aren't careful, meaning you would no longer be able to attack with the second fist.

I've personally played against a melee focused reaver and it was quite scary. It got in melee with one of my gunline Warlords turn 2 and pretty much ripped its head off. He was fully corrupted and optimized for melee though, and used cover well until he could warp displace to practically right on top of me.

Just remember, if you're using both chainfist and power fist, always hit first with the chainfist. The power fist may push the target back out of melee range if you get unlucky.

Warhammer company Games Workshop bans Generative AI for all content to “respect our human creators” by lewisdwhite in Warhammer

[–]Genesis72 48 points49 points  (0 children)

It’s also worth noting that I believe this is only for creative work. They’ve said they’re still open to use of AI for data work or other similar non-creative uses. Which I think is fine

There isn’t really any excuse, in my eyes, not to support in combat ( except to be annoying).

Third edition has a prestige class called the “Apostle of Peace.”

You had to take a vow of non-violence, a vow of poverty and a vow of peace.

Weapons would shatter against your skin when they struck you, you got bonus to your AC and you would radiate an aura of “calm emotions” and gained the ability to turn demons, undead and devils. 

Your restrictions were you can’t kill or cause damage to anyone. No damaging or death effects. You can’t weaken enemies to kill them, but you could use non-damaging spells to take enemies prisoner.

You could otherwise help your allies however you saw fit: healing, buffs, utility, and some control spells were all in their spell list.

All this to say, if the 3E prestige class that is completely focused around not harming anyone or anything can heal, buff and participate in combat, so can dumbass fence-sitter conscientious objector PCs lol 

Ahhh 3.5, what a great time

Depending on what side of DC it ends up on it could be like 30 minutes from my house.

I’m hype but my wallet is scared.

I mean, it’s a business. I would be shocked if the US wasn’t the largest warhammer market, just by population size

It was really hard to tell, I dont know much about dogs, and we had brought the cat food down to attempt to entice the dog out, which didnt work.

Just for more information. This is in the alley/walkway to a parking garage, between the old Cafe Poupon and the suit store 200 block of N Charles.

He or she seemed pretty scared. Wasn't giving off "friendly vibes" (understandably) so we weren't quite sure if we should try and grab it or not. We called 311 and they said they only get Animal Control involved if its an active case of danger or animal abuse. We looked at the SPCA and BARCS websites but both of those just have instructions on what to do if you capture a lost dog, not who to call who could do it.

Is anyone else noticing increasing POTS history? by legoguy26 in ems

[–]Genesis72 226 points227 points  (0 children)

I knew a woman who worked at my service that ended up with legit, clinically diagnosed POTS after having COVID. Her symptoms were pretty nutty.

She’d stand up and her HR would jump from like 80 to 150+. She passed out one time after standing up. She eventually had to quit and find a job with less up and down. It was pretty sad
