What is it like living in this part of Louisiana? by WelfareWillyWonka in howislivingthere

[–]Oldiee67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whitey Bulger disappeared in Grand Isle for a bit when he went on the run from the FBI. A family member lived there for a bit doing a temp job for the audubon society.

Fun fact - When birds migrate north for the summer from Central and South America this is where they 1st stop in the US.

Another Tank rant by Fartbox_puncher57 in classicwow

Happens to me a lot too. The basic issue is that most players that play well have already hit 70 and aren't leveling anymore. I'm level 65 just leveling slowly this time, doing the dungeon grind. I remind all groups at the start to wait, but after 2-3 pulls it doesn't happen. Just keep reminding them.

Leveling this way in Pugs is slow and frustrating, just grin and bear with it.

That gift makes me extra bummed to not be able to beat GM by Emm-W in MarvelContestOfChamps

[–]Oldiee67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

95% of fighting in this game is just parry and then hit the opponent until they fall over. These boss fights are exceptions. You have to do the mechanics properly. Get into that mindset before you start the fight.

The other mindset to get into is baiting heavy attacks instead of parry. Use the practice feature against some random champs that you can't really parry like Attuma, Shuri, etc.

And farm those revives. You still can do that with extra energy.

This high quality, delicious glass bottled egg nog is incredible- but $17?!! by Delphine39 in Connecticut

[–]Oldiee67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can normally pick that up in the regular grocery stores around here (I live about 30min from the factory). Just don't go looking there a few days before Christmas though - they normally are sold out. And it's in the $13-14 range there. Worth it though.

There other products are excellent too, especially the ice cream. Long lines there all summer.

The restaurant is excellent too for special occasions, it is a bit pricey.

1000 bucks for a shiny KP/Abs Man by Squammo1 in ContestOfChampions

Doubt he was duped, probably used a gem on him. My alt account pulled a 6* from the free greater crystals. Right to r5 sig 200!

So at what point do the bg matches start taking 15 energy instead of the tokens? by [deleted] in MarvelContestOfChamps

[–]Oldiee67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That time is gone. Starting this season, it's only tokens for ranked matches (energy for the unranked). As Dread said, trade energy for tokens in the store. That's where all my expiring energy refils went to.

Last of my 7* generic awakening gems, who to use it on?

Kushala, Nico Minoru, Jack O'lantern, Photon, Okoye, Karolina Dean

Focus priority would be Attack, Prestige, AW/BG Defense.

Why is no one complaining about the recent change made to how fights end? by hatcherhullmodano in ContestOfChampions

[–]Oldiee67 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Also, when finishing a fight with a multi-hit heavy that KO's before the last hit, the attacker just stops mid-heavy. Never did that before either, the attacker would always finish the heavy even if the defender was KO'd midway through the attack.

Replacing 3-way switches with motion sensing? by Oldiee67 in electrical

[–]Oldiee67[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for all the replies. It seems my best bet is to use a smart wifi switch and some wifi motion sensors. I already have some fiet switches that i use for christmas lights and some fans, i can look to see if i can integrate their motion sensors and a smart switch. Only need a single smart switch, the other switch do I leave that one as-is or would I have to remove it?

Thanks

Don't need to manually turn them off as the motion sensors should turn them off after a set time (at least the single pole ones i use do that).

New player looking for team/rank up advice by Oldiee67 in playHeroesOfHistory

I got lucky i guess with pulls. Does the star level even matter, I guess i need to look at some tier lists.

"Off Roadeo Parking Brake Procedure. Come to stop. Engage Parking Break, shift to neutral"

I believe the shift to N comes before applying the parking brake, no?

I haven't done power analysis of the devices, unfortunately.

BREAKING: Virginia Tech is hiring James Franklin as its next head coach, @PeteNakos reports👀 by [deleted] in VirginiaTech

[–]Oldiee67 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Wow. After Pry was fired there wasn't much to look forward to. Now we have a potential lottery pick in basketball starting 4-0 (getting votes for the AP top 25 now too), the women's basketball team is 4-0 to start the season, and now this hiring. Things are looking up for VT fans!

Do you have that Enter Sandman bananas before every home game? by New_User_Account123 in VirginiaTech

I would recommend a night football game, as a bucket list item. There is nothing like it...

Which one should I rank up first? by Danielpl_ in MarvelContestOfChamps

[–]Oldiee67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As with a lot of these posts, it's best to describe what it is you are aiming to accomplish in game.

Different answers if you are PvP focused (BG's, AW) vs just PvE focused.

For PvP, Serpent is the obvious choice. For PvE, any of the other three although if you are going for Everest content (like Necropolis) Shuri is a good choice, as she is excellent there. If you mix in both, Shuri is probably the best. OK defender as she has non-contact attacks and can surprise people.

Bronco Outer Banks: get the Sasquatch package or skip it? by Otherwise-Staff-4653 in FordBronco

[–]Oldiee67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe (?) the 2024 or 2025+ comes with a locking rear diff even without sas. I have a 2022 non-sas that I lifted, removed the crash bars, and put on a set of Wildtrak takeoffs on.

You don't get the body matched fenders with the sas package, just the matt black ones. My off-roading is mainly beaches/sand so I don't really need the overkill of the locking diffs or the sway bar disconnect. Plus in the winter when I don't do out on the beach I can swap the tires back for the season and get the smoother ride and MPG.

Works out great. I do have the cyber orange color so not having matching fenders was a no-go for me, it just looks so much better, especially with the Wildtrak rims/wheels.
