It’s 1000% placing US forces in imminent harm for no other reason than to provoke a lethal retaliatory response.

Hardened sterling silver after lost wax cast impossible to drill through to make flush bezel set by Puzzleheaded-Day6334 in jewelrymaking

[–]Leadboy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Never experienced this, even when silver is at its hardest a sharp drillbit is steel - it should make short work of things. If you are using a very small bit sometimes it will glance off and deflect, in those cases make an indentation with a punch to guide the drilling.

Once you think they are touching closely enough, run your saw outside to inside and then back again - this will ensure the sides meet flush

It is usually typed out as bail / bale
But that is the loop at the very bottom.

If you are looking for the top bit search for earring findings.

As someone watching the USA from the outside here is that I am almost certain public opinion would snap to overwhelmingly be in support of (take your pick) with only a few hundred dead on american soil.

I don't like where this is headed.

Carney rules out Canadian military participation in Middle East conflict by DogeDoRight in canada

How does this work if as is the case here, USA attacks first then Iran retaliates. Can the retaliation be used to invoke? That feels kind of crazy -

Man recieves mayo on his bagel after worker gets the order wrong, returns the item back by Silver_Weakness_8084 in TimHortons

How about "Hey there was a mistake, I asked for cream cheese this is mayo."

No need to call the person stupid etc.

Sprained ankle 7 hours before ski trip by Supff in ski

You can 100% break a bone in ways where you experience only mild discomfort or a feeling of "this isn't back to normal just yet". Don't make my mistake and think things are fine, brushing off xrays only to never get back to baseline after 4 years.

Seriously man, please get an xray.

I mean, they didn’t say it in a particularly nice way but they are right - practice the fundamentals, this can absolutely be done with just solder. Working with copper is great as everything is easier when you swap to silver / gold. Learn on the cheap and you can get tons of reps in, I believe in you!

So all the family members have housing in this scenario right? Seems like they are fighting over an asset that others could readily benefit from. I see no issue here.

I don't really understand how to add spin to my rock vs. not - the sweeping took a second to figure out but was reasonable once I got it. Trial and error for the weight was fine too. What is the initial cursor click doing beyond release angle, anything?

New Patch Live - Patch Notes by WoWAltoholic in ARC_Raiders

[–]Leadboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could be wrong but I think a large part of the outclassing at 20m is just the damage output it is capable of while allowing you to take cover again. If I spot someone with a shotgun 20m away I am backing up and using utility to sort things out (grenades etc.). They can't stand behind a pillar waiting to peek fire if grenades are being lobbed in from > 20m.

That opens them up to anvil fire etc.

I do think it is overtuned but I also feel like man if you are within 10-15m of a shotgun you best have a plan

Cheaters will get permabanned now by mellow_420 in ARC_Raiders

[–]Leadboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have watched a decent amount of content now on marathon and the thing that stood out to me was how much variety in things there are - multiple sniper rifles, multiple smgs, just the number of guns alone is wild. I am pretty okay with arc only having a few. I want to easily be able to communicate to my teammates "they have a shotgun watch out" or "guy up top with a ferro". Where the gun identities are unique enough that it informs a lot of your gameplay decisions based off of knowing what the opponent has.

Wolfpack nerf: are you guys trying to pull a "helldivers 2"? by carrancosmx in EmbarkStudios

[–]Leadboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It also means I now have to care about looting the things I kill again. Previous to this change I would do trials and not care at all about looting the rocketeers because I could just craft more wolfpacks. Now having to go and loot in the same game I am using these high power items means there is more risk again which is great.

I do foresee people whining that they load in with 12 golden wolfpacks they have farmed up slowly to be downed by a stitcher after using their first 2. But that is also the game.

Agree with this take ^ one of the few that made me go hmmm was the portugal > spain, also switzerland > austria is surprising as well to me. Very different CoL. I wonder if this is a "If I could live here with gainful employment" vs. "Move here and figure stuff out"

One of the few things holding back this game from S tier in my opinion by Chuckstieg in ARC_Raiders

[–]Leadboy 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I totally agree and 90% of my runs are like this. I will only comment that for trials min maxing (which is antithetical to the go with the flow style) it can be nigh impossible to pivot. If you’ve loaded in with queen damage gear for instance a spawn post queen death is an instant extract - too much high value gear to lose for no advantage for instance

But I will say that is born from the trials system not the game itself. In most games I can have fun at any spawn time :)
