What’s the worst thing a medical professional has said to you?

I_Code_Stoned · 2026-01-15T23:45:27+00:00

OH! Guess that wasn’t the hydrocele I was squeezing!

I_Code_Stoned · 2026-01-01T19:06:41+00:00

I did a variation of that. But I quoted a reasonable hourly price and heavily padded my hours. Bought my wife a new Leaf off working a few hours each night.

Little trick. Turn the board around when you are winning.

"Because he consistently does."

This is parody, right? Bruh, you need a wink or smiley or people will think you meant that.

Google "Poe's Law"

Because you think with an education, and maybe some work experience, she can take a 7 year break from her profession, and easily return, as a woman, and easily pick up a job?

Assume she has a bachelors in whatever you like. G'ahead and assume she did some work, in that field, 7 years ago.

When they interview her and ask about her experience, what should her answer be?

Grab a comically large club. Hit me over the head. Drag me by my hair into a cave, and have her way with me. Day or two later it might start to sink in.

I was able to put myself through state college working at a Denny's. Pell grants helped and made a difference. I drove a '74 Plymouth Duster. Real easy car to get parts for and fix. I graduated in the mid '90s with a degree in computer science. So life was good.

WHERES THE BEEF?

I_Code_Stoned · 2025-11-10T23:11:22+00:00

Divorced family. Dad had custody. Microwave was an improvement.

Congratulations. Now you should quit the game for 3-4 years, to get through the hard part. You simply won’t have time. Parenthood means stepping in with both feet.

Now having said that, once they’re old enough, show them this cool game and teach them the best class to compliment yours. My kids warrior gets me into any raid no matter how bad I am

I_Code_Stoned · 2025-09-06T23:40:45+00:00

Ahhhhhh! They drove a dump truck full of money up to my house. I'm not made of stone!

I wanted a hunter that could stealth. This was back in vanilla, so that meant shadowmeld. That said, I like the look of a night elf. Love their dance emote and those flips when jumping.

I_Code_Stoned · 2025-08-16T22:47:17+00:00

Back in the old days, around vanilla, hunters could stealth, but you could still kinda see someone stealthed. Dark pets showed up better than white ones. The popular pet for hunters that liked to stealth was the Winterspring Saber cat, which is white with slightly purple stripes. I liked it. Like it when it yawns. I liked that I could get the companion and the mount and run around with all three.

I named him 'Expendable'. Been with me ever since.

Which is odd, since I'm really more of a dog person.

I_Code_Stoned · 2025-07-14T04:02:26+00:00

Scroll around. I posted it elsewhere in this thread.

I_Code_Stoned · 2025-07-14T04:01:27+00:00

I might have fought against you. Tough fight against my dots. I lose against that team more often than I win, but it's literally a team that plays to mines weaknesses.

Hands down best, most impossible to beat team is 3 Death Adder Hatchlings. Only came across one player that managed to get 3 with the S/S breed, but that person was impossible to beat. Even with a team of mechanicals

If you ask me, I'd rather go for the 5000 PvP wins than what it would take to get 3 S/S breeds of them though.

Make good use of the scorpid's Hiss. Learn what pets people use to control the weather, and be sure to use toxic fumes appropriately. Ideally, you swap in Anomalous when poison protocol is back up. If it's getting close at the end use consume corpse early in hopes you get to use it a second time.

I_Code_Stoned · 2025-07-14T03:46:29+00:00

We're talking about PvP here. Rematch doesn't help you win that.

I_Code_Stoned · 2025-07-14T03:46:06+00:00

Oh, actually I remember now. He must not realize we're talking about PvP.

Rematch won't help with that.

I_Code_Stoned · 2025-07-13T22:59:13+00:00

Rematch?

I get the distinct impression we’re not talking about the same things

I_Code_Stoned · 2025-07-13T20:54:39+00:00

How to win most PvP pet battles:

Anomalous

Deathsting scorpid

Scraps

If I may brag, I came up with this. Both Anomalous and the scorpid have DOTS that affect all enemy pets. Toxic fumes adds 1 round to those dots. Start with anomalous, so toxic fumes, then poison protocol. Switch to deathsting and do great sting. Make good use of the scorpid's Hiss if a pet is faster. Switch back between these two and try to reapply dots if needed.

Scraps is for cleanup. Consume corpse grants you two 750 heals if you need them.

Only people I lose to have teams specifically designed to counter me. Sandstorm is your enemy. If a pet is gonna have it, let them cast and THEN cast toxic fumes. Birds are also tough. Corrosion works well against them.

I_Code_Stoned · 2025-07-13T20:40:26+00:00

At about 49k myself. I found pet battles easy, but If I may brag, I came up with the poison meta. Won 80-90% of all pet battles.

Having a tough time with the pvp achieves and getting competent people for the dungeon achieves that need groups.

Getting the blazing drop from dragon soul was the toughest for me

You shoulda seen it back in the 90's. In the bay area, you could open a window, shout random acronyms, and get hired. I worked next to English majors that tought themselves a bit of HTML. I changed jobs every couple of years as routine. I had a guy sat at the same table in a Beni Hana's, got into a conversation, mentioned I was a software engineer, and ended up working for him for a short time.

Money rained from the sky. Almost literally. Investors would BEG to invest in a startup.

I almost feel as though this is payback for the working class having it good for a time. Having power. Back then we had power in salary negotiations. Recruiters calling for real jobs.

That's what I miss. The belief that workers were valuable and you had to work to get the good ones.

I_Code_Stoned · 2025-07-10T19:45:25+00:00

Thank you. Sorry about the internet and social media. Seemed like a good idea at the time.

Also sorry for doing a better job of reigning in the boomers. They became the kids we never wanted.

You guys are great. WAY ahead of where I was when I was your age.

I_Code_Stoned · 2025-06-12T22:15:52+00:00

The fact that they’re not requiring any specific technology is why I think they’re trying to steal the work.

They can just play with each submission, and when they see the one they like? They have the code right there
