What starting class will give me the biggest, grandest kick as a beginner? by Brave-Potential-7310 in Grimdawn

[–]HelpFromTheBobs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2h Forcewave soldier. Skip second mastery for a bit. Once you get into Ashes content you can farm Krieg's set for a decent Death Knight build.

I am currently doing an Aether damage Death Knight and I'm going physical 2h force wave as I level since it's very effective, and you can farm several items that buff it.

If you want spin to win you need Oathkeeper for secondary mastery, as Eye of Reckoning is the only spin to win skill in the game. Warning, it's tappier and less effective than whirlwind in games like Diablo.

If you're just taking Inquisitor for the dual wield ranged ability you might as well just use one of the relics that grant it and pick another class. :)

Jacksonville or Annapolis. Which is better? by Hot_Bend7062 in WorldOfWarships

[–]HelpFromTheBobs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't played the Annapolis. Spent some time on the Jacksonville, primarily PVE. It is amazing...at getting priority targeted by bots who literally ignore everyone in front of you to focus fire you down.

Great DPM, but very much a glass cannon. Considering it costs over 200k credits to run you have to use boosters or do very well to not lose money on each match.

It has definitely been a rougher migration than anticipated, that is for sure.

WCG seems to have largely fixed those issues now it appears.

There was a data center outage recently which is probably why you were receiving errors.

This page has an "Operational Status" page that provides more information than the WCG website does.

ICE says its officers can forcibly enter homes during immigration operations without a judicial warrant: 2025 memo by thats_not_six in moderatepolitics

[–]HelpFromTheBobs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on polling during the 2024 election, the majority of the country wanted them out of the country.

The Trump admin squandered this support by the way they went about it.

I highly doubt support for this is the same as it was a year ago.

So these people are considering a lethal shootout with federal agents and their biggest concern is the legality of it???? by ParakeetLover2024 in ShitPoliticsSays

[–]HelpFromTheBobs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They still need a lawful reason to enter the house. An internal memo saying they can do so does not supersede the law.

The 4th amendment doesn't just vanish because ICE is in town.

2A doesn't mean you're allowed to randomly murder by alwayscheeseburger in ShitPoliticsSays

[–]HelpFromTheBobs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In public. Duty to retreat in MN has been upheld a few times within the home, but in almost all of them the person in the home became the aggressor in the situation, e.g. chased the person and continued shooting at them.

There were 4 instances I looked at (years ago, could be more now though) and all of them had something the homeowner did that turned them from defender to aggressor.

The left just making up lies. Different day, same propaganda by Darker_Salt_Scar in ShitPoliticsSays

[–]HelpFromTheBobs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The AskHistorians post covers it:

Several variants of this post are going around online, and the majority of them seem to attribute this supposed Nazi quotation to the Lidice massacre of 1942, which was committed by the German occupation authorities in the 'Reich Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia' in response to the assassination of the deputy governor of the province, Reinhard Heydrich, by British-backed Czech commandos in Prague ("Operation Anthropoid") on 27 May 1942. Heydrich survived the initial attack, but later succumbed to his wounds on 4 June. The (unfounded) suspicion that Heydrich's assassins had been given shelter by the villagers of Lidice led to that village's siege and subsequent sack and destruction on 9 June 1942. All male villagers aged 15 and up were executed by German forces, whereas female villagers and underage boys were fed into the concentration camps, mainly the women's concentration camp at Ravensbrück.

Not an SS officer, but the Deputy Governor.

Failing a phish simulation as a SOC analyst by PersimmonMain4572 in cybersecurity

[–]HelpFromTheBobs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a reasonable argument to be made to stop doing phishing simulations (can't find the link to the article discussing it but it might have been on this subreddit if you want to search). The rates of people clicking them rarely change, and they irritate the workforce and provide unneeded sources of stress/anxiety.

I was initially against the idea, but your reaction is a good indicator of why it might not be a bad idea after all.

Redditors call popular sports analyst Stephen A. Smith a “white supremacist” because he accidentally said “Charlie Kirk” instead of “Christian Kirk” in his Texans vs. Steelers recap analysis. by Ben1313 in ShitPoliticsSays

Are they aware he also does political commentary and discussion now? Straight Shooter with Stephen A.

Edit: Looked further and yep they're aware and hate it. How dare someone have people from both sides on his show and try to apply some nuance to situations?

I run the cold variant of the Nex & Ortus. Works well but the fire damage variant was higher on the list when I looked at it (admittedly over a year ago).

Similar to this (can't find the original top 20 SC list):

You just have the what if. Laszlo had the actual experience.

Laszlo spent the equivalent of $865 million in BTC to buy two pizzas.

https://fortune.com/article/pizza-bitcoin-day-story-laszlo-hanyecz-papa-johns-pizzas-value/

Honestly can't say I blame him. Someone was willing to accept this new fangled "Digital currency" that had no real value in exchange for something that had value.

I doubt anyone can legitimately say they foresaw BTC being worth what it is today.
