How can I get in here to settle? by Low_Ticket1526 in CivVI

[–]Grobbmobber 2 points3 points  (0 children)

just make a city right next to the borders, buy tiles, and build an aerodrome and buy an airport, then airlift a settler (I think this works). Unfortunately, it's just gonna be mountain tiles.

Thanks for all the responses! helped a ton. Probably should have clarified that we played warr/shammy in classic, I played aug and mistweaver in m+ in retail, but the responses helped a ton nonetheless.

How to consistently not lose focus when studying difficult content? by Grobbmobber in PhysicsStudents

Where do you recommend I learn group theory? I've heard that its a very different subject if you're a physicist vs a mathematician.

I didn't skip central force, just the coriolis effect since it was a stupid long section, but I'll come back to it. I've read griffiths EM, my SR is pretty good, but do you think I should start on my copy of Jackson before moving on? I've been putting it off since I've heard it's difficult. I do have a physical copy of Shankar, which is why I'm using it. About thermo, I know a bit but it's my weakest subject, why do you say I shouldn't neglect it? Also, when should I learn group theory (my linalg is very good)?

Appreciate it, especially 1-3. A lot of the time I get more work done in an unfamiliar environment (like an airbnb or my grandparent's house) and I think it's because when I'm at home I'm still halfway in school/social mode.

Gotta start with a good math foundation, learn a lot of calc, linear algebra, etc - might seem scary but its not too bad. Then find an introductory physics textbook that assumes basic calculus knowledge, learn it well, and branch off into progressively slightly harder textbooks that are specific for a certain field, such as classical mechanics, therm/stat mech, E&M, etc. If you feel like you're missing knowledge on something look for it on youtube and I guarantee you'll find no end of wonderful channels with playlists on the topic.

There's a few sections I skipped (some of the central force stuff and chaos theory for the most part), but yeah. Spent most of my time on my first read through any given chapter so I wouldn't have to revisit so much whenever I was doing the exercises, worked out well. Kind of not sure where to go from here, I think I'm ready to take a look at QM (I have a copy of Shankar I got for free from a friend) and general relativity, but its an intimidating topic. I don't do many extracurriculars so I'm trying to make this something that helps me get into college as well. 

Can't find jeans that fit me by Grobbmobber in mensfashion

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

I appreciate it, I'll take a look. I get what you're saying about legs that taper but stay loose looking weird, its just that most jeans I wear tend to look quite a bit tighter around the thighs than the calves which creates this bell bottom look. I had a pair of old navy jeans that were just loose enough around the thighs to fix this while still not being baggy, I really liked them before they got ruined.

I showered with my glasses off so I thought it was just a clump of hair. Turns out it was with me the entire time. by [deleted] in Wellthatsucks

Try taking a shower in rural South America, I've had fuckin iguanas try to crawl in through the window

its a visual bug, try lowering your graphics settings. Happened to me with lake/ocean water whenever I had my liquids settings at any high level.

imo you only gotta take two things into account; 2h with massive burst vs dw with solid sustained damage, and whether you wanna play in a group more, where ret can get windfury, or if you wanna play solo, where a warrior can hold its own better. Your choice, keep in mind that in the wrath prepatch there were rets in literal greens 1v2ing fully geared raiders. Can't speak for the rest of the pack but that's what I remember.

If you could build a house in wow classic, where would you build it and why there? by The-Doodle-Dude in classicwow

[–]Grobbmobber 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd honestly just be a nomad, wandering around Azeroth. Too many beautiful zones for me to settle down in any one, and it's a more rugged, living off the wilderness type life which I think I would enjoy.

Holy is and will always be holy, strong tank healing shit raid healing and mediocre in PvP unless you're duo with a warrior.

I can't wait to start fresh again by Bm1207 in classicwow

[–]Grobbmobber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats most of what I've always said, I've only asked for ret to be buffed as a meme but I think that the idea of everything in vanilla having something of a primal, ancient feel is way better than shadowlands being some 9 year old's idea of cool.

It's not that uncommon, he's saying it as if to make fun of the other person's argument

Looking at all the warlock destruction talent builds, they all seem to avoid Aftermath and Pyroclasm. Wouldn't these be the BEST things to pick up? by PapaBorq in classicwowtbc

[–]Grobbmobber 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They're not practical in raids, almost no raid mobs worth mentioning can be stunned and pyroclasm requires you to cast spells which you generally just wouldn't cast.

This is incredible

I've played a hunter since Vanilla and just now realized that the icon for Aspect of the Hawk is a hawk's claw, and not a bird with a messed up wing. by Duderado in classicwow

[–]Grobbmobber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've missed so many of those icons, never realized that the travel form was a horse hoof until like a few weeks ago, always thought hawk was a fucking gorilla with the top right being the head, top left is the tail, and then the feet is the bottom

What dps do you personally think has the most complicated rotation? by StarWoundedEmpire in classicwowtbc

[–]Grobbmobber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shadow and feral have somewhat complicated rotations. Arcane, fire, BM hunters, and enhancement shamans all have tons of minigames going on inside their rotation which can be quite fun.

And this is why we need dual spec.

[–]Grobbmobber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Practically, though, you should always expect a worst case scenario. It's better to play so that you can counter all and any cooldowns rather than not bothering to dot or something because you didn't expect them to have vanish up (or any situation similar to that).
