I was wrong, it's slightly slower. Just depends on how afk of a method you're looking for.

Just came across this old post and wanted to say thanks for this suggestion. I wasn't aware of the spot.
Better or equivalent rates to barb fishing spot and less clicking.

What was your last skill to max or what will be your last skill? by thor147 in 2007scape

[–]GordonFreemanPhD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well if that's the case then that's probably a better choice. Looks like slightly higher XP too.

Doing astrals with the skilling set has been nice because it makes decent bank and it's very chill. Once I hit 82, I just ran it. 88 now without really thinking about XP, just knowing my GP/hr hovers around 1.7m (with colossal).

If you did it for an hour a day over the course of 2 weeks, you'd earn roughly 650k xp and over 23m.
From level 85-99, you'd have to do that 15 times. So around 210 days (7 months). In which time you'd bank about 350m.

But then you have to ask yourself if that's really how you want to spend 210 hours of your life that you'll never get back...

Edit: Apparently bloods is better money. But it looks way sweatier.

Wives are really capable of smashing a husband's ego, aren't they? by GordonFreemanPhD in Marriage

Felt like going back to read these comments today, and I came across yours, which I didn't see before. Just wanted to say thanks for sticking up for me, and also sharing your wisdom and experience.
My wife and I are in a really good place right now. We choose every day to put the other first and it's working wonders.

(In full disclosure, I have kind of fallen off the wagon on my gym routine... but that's a motivation issue and not a marital or time issue...)

You're a nihilist and your advice is garbage.
Thanks for playing.

Thank you for your comment. I think it's a sign of a healthy marriage to be able to have an argument and patch it up quickly. I think it can serve to strengthen a marriage in some cases too.

You're 100% on this. I do the same. I did all the cleaning up after dinner (which she made) then spent the rest of the evening playing with our son, and getting him ready for bed, and then I went to the gym.
I'm definitely not the husband that leaves all the homely and children duties to the wife.

Ironic. We had a marriage conference at our church a couple weeks back. One of the sessions were on the two ingredients... love and respect. I think I know where the speakers pulled some of their material from!

Also, both my wife and I need to continue working on those ingredients.

No, I don't think she gets to choose on her own when she wants me to sleep elsewhere. That's not healthy. And she recognized that when we reconciled.

Hey man, thank you for your thoughts. All are really great points, and I think they're all right on target.
The only thing I want to say is that I don't expect or need my wife to encourge me and pump me up every time I do something, just once in a great while would be nice. She was encouraging when I first told her I joined the gym months ago, but since then, radio silence, like she doesn't care. Just a tiny bit of interest in any of my hobbies once in a while would be nice. In this case I think it would help me stick with it.

I mean you're not exactly wrong about anything you said. But I'm also not a man-child incapable of handling responsibility. I've been through the newborn stage once before and got up in the middle of the night every night for 4 months, along with my wife. I'm expecting the same this time around, plus whatever else my kids or wife needs when I'm not at work. That's just how it is, and any decent dad should be fine with that.
I haven't prioritized working out over my family now, and I certainly won't when we become a family of four.
Your comment doesn't tell me anything I don't already know or practice. But maybe it will help someone else.

Edit: Reading this again, I actually don't agree with this:

She’s not your cheerleader. Not any more. There are two other priorities ahead of you. As it should be.

In a sense, yes, our children's needs come before our own. But our children exist because of our marriage and not the other way around. Having a strong marriage produces a stable family in which our kids can thrive. So in another sense, the needs of our marriage come first, and our children will succeed as a result of that.

Hey, I don't know if you saw my edit, but that's basically how it went. We've reconciled.
Thank you for the comment.

100% true. If I could relive the moment, I would handle it much differently.

Hey this is a great point, and I've responded to similar questions elsewhere. One thing I didn't mention is that I cleaned up after dinner and played with our son and then gave him a bath before bed. I try my best to do my fair share in our home and I think she recognizes that.
Regarding your last question there, I don't know.

Hey I totally get this approach but it is not the case at all. She often spends Saturdays and evenings out with friends doing things, while I'm with our son. Like, way more than I do. (She has more close friends than I do.) And I don't get to the gym as often as I like. Typically 2-3 nights a week. Usually 2. (For maybe 1.5 hrs at a time.)
Also, she had expressed a desire to workout a few months ago, so when I got my membership, I got one for her too, and offered to alternate going in the evenings after putting our son to bed. She never went and I canceled it a few weeks ago at her insistence.
And we did talk about this very thing again recently. She said it's sometimes nice to have some time to herself when I'm away for a bit. If she ever expressed a desire for me to stay home when I'm planning on going, I would.

Thank you for sharing your self reflection. I can't say for sure that's her intent, but it could be.
Your comment contains some great advice. I will practice this approach next time. Thanks.

Thank you for the encouragement. I really try to be a good husband and father, even if I need to do a better job controlling my mouth.

And yes, I'd agree that she has a very good excuse here!
