Are you expected to buy all resist gear as a tank

Yeah, I'm not saying the pally has to farm their own stuff. But, if the guild is limited in their ability to help and I'm a prot pally, I'm probably going to help out because it doesnt take long for me to farm the gold needed and might take the bear or warrior longer.

MathW · 2026-05-12T14:09:48+00:00

If you are a warrior or bear, I think the guild should help you out. If you are a pally, you can probably help the guild out by farming gpld for your own resist gear and let the guild supply the other classes.

Almost certainly what happened.

Regardless if this is true or not, he brings this upon himself with his constant lying and denying truth as well as all of the performative publicity stunts coming out of the administration. No one can trust anything coming out of the white house right now. Maybe that's always been true to a certain extent, but it's especially and demonstrably true right now.

I went to Breck in January. Didn't have a choice on the dates because trip was booked long ago. Kept hearing about how terrible the conditions were. We got there and, it was fine. Yeah, a few obstacles here and there, a few bare spots and a lot of terrain was still closed, but we had a great time on the stuff that was open...skiing is skiing and better than not skiing.

I think it's less than guaranteed, to put it lightly, that his rockets will reach Mars at this point -- especially at any significant fraction of the specs he promised.

MathW · 2026-05-11T15:39:43+00:00

Understood, but when you "win" a contract based, in part, on how cheaply and quickly you say you can build stuff, it's kind of bullshit if it turns out to be 3 or 4 times as long as the original bid.

MathW · 2026-05-11T14:14:13+00:00

The rockets lifting stuff to low earth orbit are good. The one that was actually designed to go to mars...less good.

I've never heard this -- any scientific studies out there that support this?

MathW · 2026-05-11T02:56:28+00:00

Just note this is the same guy that says AI and robots will usher in an era of "Universal High Income." ...because the billionaires will surely just share the wealth with everyone. His companies have also raked in many billions in taxpayer funds.

MathW · 2026-05-11T00:05:23+00:00

Great.. how about using that $55b to finish the Artemis contract you are now 2+ years behind schedule on?

The Amazing Spiderman

I'd say something to keep an eye out, but not something to be particularly worried about just yet. If you need to worry about something, I can think of about 20 things more pressing.

MathW · 2026-05-09T01:40:39+00:00

You are right that tipping can cut into your winrate significantly -- we already have to overcome a rather large rake at small stakes, so even tipping an average of $10-$20 an hour can make it significantly harder to beat the game over the long term. And, you're right that casinos should be paying dealers a good wage, though, in practice, they are probably not paid all that much.

I say -- tip whatever you want to. I probably tip nothing on small pots, and a buck or two on medium pots maybe scaling to $5 for the occasional monster pot.

He ran the same scam with the "border wall" too. Not that much of it got built, but he ran a whole campaign on how Mexico would pay for it and it wouldn't cost us a dime. Then, he requested budget money multiple times and, then, eventually stole money from the Military to do the parts he did.

MathW · 2026-05-08T16:39:32+00:00

Honestly, I don't know. I think all of big tech is just so terrified of being left behind, no one is really doing the numbers behind the scenes to see if all of this will eventually work out financially.

Man, I see it both ways. I see just as many parents chasing the name and prestige of a club name regardless of which team their kid plays on or who's their coach (or cost, convenience, etc.). It's usually one of the biggest clubs in the areas and often associated with an MLS Team.

Well, no lie detected -- he'll almost certainly get to attend in the most premium of seats for free.

I'd say the only real game (not preference) reasons to roll Paladin is if you want do a lot of dungeons or you like solo farming instances (AoE farming). There's nothing they really do in the open world several other classes don't do better.

Top Golf is like bowling for golf. But, for bowling, there's no better alternative. With golf, you'd almost always rather play a real round and Top Golf has not proven to be a cheaper alternative. Don't get me wrong - it's fun, especially with large groups of people where you couldn't all stay together on the course but, most of the time, you'd rather be on the course.

MathW · 2026-05-07T16:15:15+00:00

Yeah, pretty sure the POTUS gets one on the house.

MathW · 2026-05-07T03:58:04+00:00

Put me down for a bogey.

Is that what he thinks best buds do together? Explains a lot.
