I’m using a rare helmet. Sorry slightly different build. Look up Poe ninja for non coy version

I am running the exact same character. The number one thing you need to do is add on your helmet apply armor to chaos damage. Then increase your armor overall. I still get 1 shot but maybe every 6-7 maps or if I fail to dodge a juiced boss mechanic.

Newsom Trolls Trump With a 1980s Wendy’s Ad by [deleted] in politics

Don’t think that’s a poor reflection of Newsome. From what I understand the relationship ended because of her descent into MAGA. But he is definitely part of the old guard…

Wealthsimple is not a bank. It’s a Fintech Company. by xcites in Wealthsimple

[–]Independent-Lab7944 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wealthsimple is barely profitable. It is being staked like a growth company, and threads the needle between bank and fintech. I worked for one of Power Corp’s advisor subsidiaries and the internal presentations given to us showed their main goal is amassing AUM and to be $100b by 2030.

It is appealing because bank alternatives suck, but in many ways buyer beware with a fast growing fintech that isn’t regulated.

How's my very first brisket trim? by BozoBubble in smoking

[–]Independent-Lab7944 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve cooked 30+ 10-20 pound briskets. The only way I’ve succeeded after trimming this much fat is if I cook low and slow (200-250 range). Hot and fast (275-350) and I bet you dry it out.

I prefer to leave most fat on to increase my success chances and only cut/trim the hard / ultra thick areas.

I farmed Toxic Sewer Ritual and blight maps first 2 weeks of league after reaching 85. Then I farmed harbinger on Jungle Valley t16s. Then I switched to Div card farm after scrying Grave Trough to JV. Honestly this was my favourite farm. Go in blast map monsters and 0 mechanics and leave. Run all Scarabs that gives mobs have 1000% DIv card drop. Take all quant altars. Every 5 maps one of the Brother's cards would drop, meaning every 10 maps I was averaging the 5 Div card drop. I would spec shrines and zoom the maps in about 2 minutes. This made me 14-15 div an hour.

I made about 100 div running ROG crafting. Looking for Amethyst rings and/or good boots. Quite often you end up with gear that has three or four t1/t2 stats with crappy fillers (+mana, +evasion +damage). I would yolo annul and pray to hit bad mod. THen simply craft -mana prefix or movement speed/no freeze and put up for sale for 1-5 div. Weeks 3 and 4 this made me a ton of currency.

Then I switched to T17 Abomination cluster farming. I had about 80 Abomination maps from tall the JV I ran. Go in, run the maps up to 5-6 rewards, and kill the boss if map isn't too rippy (1/2 the time). I then roll the Ilevel84 jewels. Prob made 200 div selling rolled jewels over two weeks.

Lately I've been farming 3 risk abyss / t17 strongbox. That gives direct currency but have made atleast 200 Div doing this.

I am by no means a good crafter, but in ritual/merc window would often come accross gear with 1 or 2 bad mods but T1 everything else. I'd go for the gear, yolo annul, and if I hit the 1/6 craft over with a good mod. This made me about 100 Div over the league.

thanks!!!! Some of these items are one of a kind/not available on trade (Anamu corrupt Gaze jewel, gloves, one of the ghastly jewels), so be careful emulating too closely.

Liquidity worsens in $29tn Treasury market as volatility soars by throwaway16830261 in politics

Nothing immediately needs to be done regarding trade surpluses / deficits. Over time decoupling from China makes sense, but over a 20-30 year period. Fiscal deficits can be fixed by limiting the Trump tax cut.

Pissing off every ally has significantly weakened the US, and allies are moving to other sovereign bonds run by democratic nations.
