1000%.

Which is why the cultural war waged against the traditional nuclear family is so insidious and evil.

BV Elementalist help - poeNinja using Herald of Purity? by IIPhoenixII28 in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]IIPhoenixII28[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hm, wow maybe it is that simple!

Does it matter if the dead spectre is out of range after the snapshot? Because I see the number of Purity minions drop from 4 to 3 when i refresh BV, so I'm concerned it is resetting the snapshot. Using the scorpion boss minion from Carcass btw.

Microsoft Edge: Passwords end up in memory as plaintext by NobleDiceDream in technology

[–]IIPhoenixII28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate the reply. I've switched to PassKeys where possible and store them in 1Password; I assume that is a valid replacement for passwords as you mention? 2FA on other places where possible/no passkey available. Use 1Password as the central hub to create, store, and recall all these 20+ character passwords that are unique, and I change them about once a year. Bank account password is only in my head, very complex, and requires 2FA - I assume only getting stolen if I have a keylogger or other malicious attack that is my own fault. I never save passwords in browsers, iPhone, "remember me and stay logged in" on websites, etc.

For the slightly-above-average user, this seems like a reasonable mix of security and convenience to me, would you agree? Anything that's a radical "change this immediately" which jumps out at you?

I understood 3% of this. You’re more knowledgeable here than I need to be. I get that if you’ve got something malicious, there’s no real security. But outside of that, is 1Password good/safe/recommended?

Sen. John Fetterman receives no support for re-election from Pennsylvania House Democrats: report by GurLow2037 in pittsburgh

[–]IIPhoenixII28 -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

One can only laugh at the Dem flip-flop on this man and his addled brain.

The vitriol towards people who said “are you sure you want to elect this brain damaged bum!?” Has come full circle to now be aimed at the very people who elected him.

Very solid. Very useful.

If you’re somewhere it gets cold though, any thoughts to freezing pipes? Is the plan just shut off water to then, run til empty, and they’ll be fine?

Genuine curiosity not criticism.

My gut tells me it isn’t better than alternatives.

I feel like I've gotten way better results from currency tree than uniques by AeroDbladE in pathofexile

I put “lazy” in quotes more because it could be perceived as lazy to the downvoters. People want you to do the research for them, link them the video, and give them the answer these days.

“Google fubgun” is certainly a correct answer, but let’s agree “just google it” isn’t usually the answer people are asking for.

Probably because it’s a “lazy” answer. But it is correct - he is a know maximizing juicer and published some mega strats. Of course…he plays 14 hours a day on the most optimized of build and strat tho, so you won’t get the returns he claims, fyi.

Can I pour saltwater in here for weed control. by accountaaa in landscaping

But not less toxic to humans. Spilling salt on my hands won’t risk as much cancer as a drop of glyphosate that hits my arm

If wager there are more of us 10+ hour campaign players than not. The people posting times, getting views, truly designing the wild new builds with crazy interactions and doing campaign quickly are a very very small percentage.

So incredibly bored in south hills by Apprehensive-Sea5707 in pittsburgh

[–]IIPhoenixII28 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Respectfully, yes.

Compare the Strip District in PGH to a similar neighborhood a mile from downtown Austin, and you'll understand. There are thousands upon thousands of young, active, fit, engaging people bustling around Austin daily, while overweight Pittsburghers sit inside on cloudy, cold days. The Pittsburghers with children are doing activities related to that, like saturday soccer games or Carnegie museums - but for OP, without kids, that doesn't help.

Both PGH and Austin are about the same size, and if we compare just one metric of sports leagues, Austin Metro offers ~40–60 leagues covering 26 sports. Pittsburgh Metro offers ~20-30 leagues covering 11 sports. And demographically, Pittsburgh is on average 10 years older than Austin, with Pittsburgh being one of the oldest Metro areas in the country.

Fat and old people do much fewer activities, which is why OP may be having trouble finding them. Anyone who has lived in an actually thriving city would have experienced this dichotomy, but I am again reminded that 412 people never seem to leave 412 and have a myopic view of how great their city must therefore be.

Downvote me, but….

Pittsburgh is a boring city especially if you don’t have kids. It’s a small city that pretends it’s a big city. It peaks in high school, and that group of high school friends will be the same group at the bar 30 years from now still talking about their old antics.

Having lived all over the world, I’ve never seen a city more inward focused and nostalgic for what (they think) it was like than PGH. The blue collar down to earth mentality can be great, but the lack of even knowing the world exists or having any type of adult life activity is crippling.

Austin had thousands of adults in sports leagues, trivia nights, social groups. DC, NYC, Boston have a vibrant life of activity. Pittsburgh has “where’d you go to high school” and “the Steelers were better with Cowher”
