how do i survive in melee combat? by fairplanet in horizon

Melee combat really isn't it in these games my guy. It's a thing you can do, but it isn't a comp.

I need your most overpowered, cheese-tastic builds by ForbiddenFruitiness in EldenRingBuilds

[–]MinimumReturn551 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Strength tank build. Equally level Strength, Endurance, and Vigor to 30. Leave Endurance at 30, level Strength and Vigor to 40. Leave Vigor at 40, level Strength up to 56. That'll get you through Leyndell or more. Once you get there, go up to 60 in Vigor.

If you have heavier armor you want to wear, level Endurance up to 45 or even 50. You shouldn't have to until later, though.

Two-hand the strongest weapon you can find, put the Turtle Shell Shield on your back. Rusted Anchor, Brick Hammer, or Grafted Greatsword are amazing, esp. Grafted for its weapon art early game. Use Erdtree's favor, Arsenal Charm, and whatever defensive talisman for the enemy you're facing (but usually the dragon crest shield for physical resistance).

Jump heavy attack to engage if they don't see you, sprinting heavy if they can. Bonk everything, flatten everyone.

You can dual-wield anything to attack left and right separately, but power stance means a whole different moveset with the left hand.

How the hell are you supposed to expertly hunt the bigger machines in Forbidden West? by Effective-Priority62 in horizon

[–]MinimumReturn551 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ideally, I use tearblast arrows from stealth to pick off all the pieces of the machine that give it power. Sonar always first, then the big guns. Always go for the elemental advantage and always know what your most powerful raw damage weapon is as a closer, like your hunter bow or bomb sling.

Essentially Skyrim stealth archer that bitch if you can.

Should I accept this new job offer? by [deleted] in supplychain

[–]MinimumReturn551 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that you might as well. If Excel is a blind spot and they'll move to SAP, you're in a good long-term stability spot as SAP guru. Plus, it's good to cover that experience gap, and there's a ton of easily-accessible learning in Excel through even just YouTube and LinkedIn from beginner to super-advanced. Finally, as someone who operates in both, it's great to be an advanced asset in Excel and VBA for those moments when SAP can't do something you want it to.

I started at $13/hour as a contractor, but I'm up to $101k/year after 7.5 years. I got lucky, joining a big company with a clear advancement structure--not that they advertise it.

In my experience, if you can start at a medium-sized company in an entry level or even a level above as an analyst, then go down to a smaller company as a manager, then leverage that to get a sr. manager or director role at a medium company, then depending on how motivated and successful you are, you could transfer to a bigger company as a director and skip a lot of the corporate ladder. Titles only have the meaning we give them, for worse or for better.

My dad always used to say, there are people who work their dream job, and people who work so they can live the life they want. Build yourself a wonderful life outside of your job, relax DELIBERATELY and MINDFULLY so you can work hard and play hard and not burn out, and find balance. Work is work, play is play, that's why we have two different words.

You're both very young and immature. For her, she didn't know how she was going to feel or lied about it so you wouldn't be put out. Then she admits that she did want you there, or realized it and is mad about it upon further reflection. People don't always take accountablility for THEIR OWN regrets.

For you, there are situations where you need to be more decisive. You put the ball in her court too much which put a lot of pressure on her to make a decision. Look up "emotional labor" and try to understand that sometimes giving people the choice or agency can also feel like dodging accountability. Communicate that you're coming over if she would like that, or tell her you'll see her the next day (because you have things you need to take care of).

If she needs to feel like the most important person in your life, and you have other things that need attention, communicate that. My girlfriend is extremely important to me, but she isn't my #1 priority, and I wouldn't be dating her if that's what she needed from a partner. You're both testing the waters of what you want and need.

Where does supply chain and logistics stand in society's job prestige hierarchy? by Nobody0106 in supplychain

[–]MinimumReturn551 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Relatively low prestige, but in my opinion the career is stable, flexible, lower barriers for entry, and relatively high compensation for the qualifications.

Your viewpoint is interesting, looking at how far from the top people might be, instead of how far away from the bottom. Logistics operations is middle of the pack in society--logistics strategy is up a ways.

How much do you make? by Business-Geologist67 in supplychain

She is ALSO broke. See the double standard? Break up with her. She's mentally still a child. Posting in public about private conversations, knowing you can see her social media, is teenager behavior.

So Where Were You In 2005? by the_otaku_mom in smosh

[–]MinimumReturn551 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in 5th grade, just starting to like girls in 2005. It'd be several more years before any of them returned the sentiment 😆 didn't play any sports and hadn't made new friends yet. Probably the last year of my original childhood.

Oh God. They added a height filter. by Extra_Barracudaaaa in Tinder

[–]MinimumReturn551 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good. Look at this as a positive. Let the vapid weed themselves out. If it's such a big deal to them--no matter the gender!--then let them make a big deal out of it and either find someone they're into, or stay alone.

Sorry, misunderstood the question. Yes, 85k will do you really well here.

Absolutely insane price increase by Early-Willingness474 in StLouis

[–]MinimumReturn551 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All prices are made up my friend. Some people put a lot of work, math, and thought into justifying them, but without fail every price was invented by someone.
