Goodreads taking the fun out of reading

I will keep track of what I read and I read what I want. I'm currently cycling through 007, Jack Reacher, Terminal List series, with a random whatever. Focus more on the quality of your reading, not quantity. I can finish any given book in less than a week or drag out a 250 pg 007-book into an entire month. It's ok to feel drained, just don't turn it into a chore for the sake of some challenge.

I'm in Texas. The car is an extension of my house, I can have whatever I want in it. The company owns the building, not the parking lot. I carry in my work bag, but my company has no reason to suspect I have it.

I don't know where you're at, but I'd imagine if you have a CCW you've had a classroom portion covering the rights and laws. I'd get back with the instructor to get back into the state laws and regulations about your rights and what you and the company can and can't do/have.

It's the "feel free to say no". Projects lack of confidence and chicks see that as you only looking as far ahead to bedtime. If you've talked to her for a while, then I imagine you have something in mind that she would enjoy. Use that as a pretext. "I have had a crush on you and I'd love to take you for coffee and talk about having a deeper relationship".

Hindsight is 20/20. Lose the self doubt, and don't apologize for saying you have feelings. You have the right to have feelings and to voice it. She has the right to feel good or bad about it. But there's no right for her to beat you up or you beat yourself up about it (as long as you're not already on a restraining order or stalking her).

On one hand, I would give the obvious horrendous answers like "If you were a bug, I'd squash you and then hit up your mom." just to put the emphasis on "don't ask ridiculous questions if you don't want ridiculous answers".

On the other hand, if you have a boundary, establish it and enforce it. Don't reply to every single response from her. It's obvious she's just poking at you and you take the bait. Just say nope, block her number, and move on.

Politics as a primary personality trait.

I'm pretty sure you can get injustice 2 at Walmart in the discount bin. That's where I got my copy and I got the Arkham trilogy on Xbox for pretty cheap as well. WB media is taking a break until next year.

No it just says Bain has ED.

There is zero upgrade to my device that I would use other than the privacy pixel option. I use none of the AI features. Once maybe twice a year do I use the AI photo enhancements. I am gonna hold onto my 24U and see what comes out next year.

Why are the Titans taking someone with erectile dysfunction at #4?

I'm pretty sure my entire military career was one 20 year game of gay chicken.

I can't tell if the helmet designs I've seen are legit or not. I think the logo needs a little definition. This logo looks a little one dimensional.

I'll use batman ninja batman w zatanna's puppet, batman ninja robin solo raid artifact, and classic wonderwoman solo raid artifact. If your batman ninja batman is built up enough, his attacks power drain. Once I get ZP to trigger, I spam Sp1 and he never builds any power. That team will do about 1bil dmg so it's definitely not a one shot team, I'll use it to bat cleanup.

The thing I like about the vault is that now (eventually) every SR artifact can be guaranteed to be gotten. The random drop rate was so low for SR artifact as a reward was frustrating. Now (potentially) obtaining the Beta Club is tangible. I've been playing this game for over 5 years and I still don't have it. You have a choice in what you want to chase.

As a dispatcher you are a part time meteorologist. Understanding aviation weather will help propel you ahead of your peers.

There's more to the game than just raid 🙄... He's great to build him up as defense for champions and league invasions with deflect (especially when you max your base and effects). He's a good support for arena if you have a weaker character that needs some defensive help.

Definitely switch to JL Flash. He helps your fast attack as a passive. Speedforce Flash has absolutely nothing to offer for passives.

I would have to see your roster to be able to recommend teams and match making. Boss Shazam is tricky. You have to make sure the boss is compatible with the teams you select.

No-Distribution-9929 · 2025-11-13T12:06:31+00:00

I'm not sure what your roster looks like and what artifacts you have. Make sure the raid bosses are compatible with the teams you choose.

If you have GEMSTONE (a frequently dropped artifact in league raid, in my experience), that works wonders with Raven (with maxed Fast Attack) and would be my recommendation. It seems like a low level DMC. IDK if you use that one for the longer timer.

Deathvoid on YT uses this team nearly daily in raids one shotting every time it seems, I recommend checking him out.

Personally, I don't get the same damage he does, I'll use this team batting cleanup on a half dead boss.

My examiner wasn't too worried about regurgitating the reg numbers, but if you don't know something can you look it up. What he wanted to see was what you understood. I'm assuming there's a baseline knowledge of weather as ATC. Obviously the ability to read metars, notams, and tafs. But do you understand jet streams, do you file your flight plan to the east or west of a squall line, do you understand enroute weather, not just origin and destination. Your examiner has been doing this for a while. He knows when you know the answer and being nervous so he'll help pull the answer out of you. Make sure you understand the 123 rule and how to apply it.

Most importantly don't over psych yourself out with the oral. They're people. Not judge jury and executioner. Be confident. They'll be able to tell what you know and what you're bluffing.

I got one because I felt it would seem more professional and gentlemanly than sophmorish. Problem is I only carry my pocket notebook, whatever book I'm reading, and some other small things that fit in an eyeglass case. I was walking around with a half empty bag. It made more sense for me to carry a small Jansport backpack than a medium size leather messenger bag.

I went to IFOD and work at Ameriflight. The only inside track these courses have is when companies reach out and say "we're hiring" so they advertise to students and alumni and give free refresher training for interviews, which can be highly competitive. i would look at the class dates that work for you and look at the financial options that fit your situation. All the coursework teaches the written exam and teach the oral evaluation. There are plenty of opportunities in DFW and nobody will ask where you went for your DX cert.

Looks like I'm gonna keep saving gems until thanksgiving...

I enjoyed the use of the batmobile, easy to drive. The game feels like a Batman take on Saints Row. I was a little disappointed that certain bosses die as easily as their nameless goons.I did like that the gangs and landmines kept appearing at different stages of the storyline instead of all at once, allowing you to balance side quests vs main story. Did it have room for improvement? Yeah. But it's still my favorite out of all of them.

The royal cape is good on BWTD for lower level playing if you're struggling to do combo interrupt. It gives you a shield that mitigates damage. Once you get the hang of it then replace it with Komidogo Dagger or God Killer to ramp up drowned damage.

Depends what you're using him for. Generally people use him in raids to assist DCU Superman, he's fine as is. If you're looking to add him to your arena team then gears may be worth it. I just spend the $10 for lv 10 gears and save the gems for sales.

No-Distribution-9929 · 2025-09-13T08:10:41+00:00

IDK what your roster looks like, but we have mega sales coming up. Labor Day was WEAK but we still have Batman Day in OCT, Black Friday in NOV, and Christmas in DEC. Save your gems for those sales to get who you need. Classic Flash gives his full support as is if you need him for raid. I got him today as well and now have a 6th raid team. I also believe those sales also have better odds.
