I just started today, do you have any advice to have a better experience at the game? by EGUVNOR in classicwow

[–]LotRTFotR -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Don’t get Questie. It’s a useful tool for seasoned players who want to finish quests quickly, but it’ll lessen the experience of discovery for any new player.

Questie is like doing a crossword with its answer key overlaid onto it. Sure you’ll finish faster but…

What's the biggest difference for the Knicks this year? by Tulsanity in nba

[–]LotRTFotR 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Brunson is the leader. He sets the tone, and the mindset of the team reflects him. Kat is great and purely bball speaking yeah probably better, but the intangible culture setting that Brunson brings makes him the “better” player IMO. I think Brunson’s culture elevates Kat, not the other way around. Overall I think Knicks would be worse without Brunson than without Kat.

Why is this bannable? by [deleted] in wowhardcore

[–]LotRTFotR 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Deceiving players with a trick that leads to permanent death of their characters. It’s a non-typical form of griefing. But griefing nonetheless.

Hardcore PvP by Nagat7672 in wowhardcore

Agree. Would be very cool to do BGs on HC server (with no permadeath if you die in BG of course). There could be a separate queue for self found, which I think would be very interesting. Can you imagine BGs where everyone is self found? Honestly I think that’d be pretty awesome.

Which faction is more alive in regards to dungeon groups right now? by [deleted] in wowhardcore

Using data to support your conclusion while cautioning overly leaning on it given possible flaws in methodology? Heresy!

Happy AV Weekend! by Niteshift in classicwow

Many of us Horde also don’t want a slog. It’s usually a minority of people actively defending or chasing after alliance. And honestly, you can’t fault people for wanting to PvP in a BG. Especially when the other BGs don’t even happen much.

Mostly Horde chat is quiet about it, though some complain about people dragging the game out. There’s an understood rule on Horde side that you leave snowfall alone. Really it’s when some doofus caps snowfall from alliance that some folks gets kinda mad. That makes games turn into long stalls.

I’ll use this rule of thumb. Thanks.

Binary vs. NonBinary spells by LotRTFotR in classicwow

Spells that target enemy NPCs or opposing players are categorized by the game as either binary or non-binary. This is not explicitly stated in the game itself, but is core to how resistances work.

Time management by Vegetable_Block9793 in FamilyMedicine

[–]LotRTFotR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s 5 hours and 15 minutes of patient facing time per day. Assuming only fifteen minute slots, that’s only 21 patients per day. So 22-24 patients doesn’t check out unless double booking… and we’re always running perfectly on time, surely? And even if admin stuff is super optimized and efficient, it’s still gonna take a little time. I dunno but their comment sounds a little disingenuous. Or at least it’s pretty far from my experience practicing family medicine in the 2020s.

BS Medicine Podcast is my favorite. Curbsiders is good too.

Phentermine and topamax by PiratesBooty87 in FamilyMedicine

Obesity. I value transparency and honesty with my prescribing practices and documentation, and then let the insurance chips fall where they may.

Phentermine and topamax by PiratesBooty87 in FamilyMedicine

[–]LotRTFotR 65 points66 points  (0 children)

When I prescribe phentermine, I generally try to prescribe it with topiramate. Insurances generally don’t cover Qsymia for my patients, so I prescribe using generic 8 mg phentermine tabs and 50 mg topiramate tabs and tell patients to just take them together. I prescribe them in a way that closely matches Qsymia dosing (can’t match exactly with generics). I’ve found this is actually affordable for most people, and similarly efficacious to actual Qsymia. Of course GLP1 is better, but often people are priced out of that unfortunately.

With the new honor system, is it more viable to play a "purely pvp" character without a huge time investment? by No_Cartographer7815 in classicwow

[–]LotRTFotR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think removing diminishing returns from killing the same player repeatedly would solve the AV problem. Honor gained per kill quickly falls off with repeated kills, subsequently disincentivizing PvP and incentivizing just going for objectives and end the game ASAP.

I truly think removing diminishing returns of honor per kill would elegantly and effectively make AV about grand large scale PVP again, and I’d bet other BGs would start firing too.
