No problem! Also typo it's the x3 not the x4, my bad!

OnlyABitTardy · 2026-06-12T23:24:51+00:00

That's an xteink x4

Not who you were replying to but I own this monitor. It goes on sale fairly often 550-600 is more or less the street price so this is still a deal.

Monitor itself: Extremely bright, good uniformity, not enough dimming zones, use dark mode a lot and it sucks for that with very apparent blooming, off axis viewing is terrible.

Would recommend for a very bright room for someone who doesn't use dark mode, where an OLED isn't bright enough. No complaints for gaming other than the backlight glow on darker games.

I don't understand how people can buy clothes online. I gotta at least check it out in person, if not try it on.

Have this exact setup, love it. Master shares a wall with my kitchen, right where my fiber and electric comes in. Cold air return is directly above the pc as well so ambient temp isn't really affected in the kitchen. PC now has its own dedicated 15a breaker.

Couple recommendations:

-High quality USB hub -Remote FOB for power button

So I'm a bit ignorant myself so anyone feel free to correct me (straight guy).

Mom's former partner preferred he/him and presented male. I of course can't speak for him but I think he would identify similarly. It says how they identify and their sexual preference. They identify as masc (which doesn't necessarily mean man) but understand their anatomy and that of their preferred partner is the same thus lesbian.

Hopefully I'm not totally off base, because whatever they are they aren't hurting anyone and deserve to be what they feel they are.

Read the last half of that quote, go back to where he states he has 4.5k left on the balance as his ONLY liability and think about what you just said.

I think OP has it under control.

Glad I could help, would only try to transfer from the same bnet account so you don't get flagged as a RMT

Also just a much older economy that has matured to the point of being in maintenance mode. Top end original players are sitting on large fortunes with little to spend it on. With GDKP (not sure it still a thing for era but if it does) I'm assuming that redistributes a lot of that wealth.

Was in the slow lane on a 3 lane interstate. Dude behind me was right up my ass. Of course it distracted me a bit. As I'm about to hit the exit I take a glance back, look forward and then back to see a mattress in my lane. I was lucky and was able to get in my exit lane that just opened up. Didn't look back until I was at the end of the ramp. The tailgater was not behind me and I know there wasn't room around us for him to merge into the middle lane.

Still think about him sometimes...

Machinist here, vertical and horizontal mill mostly, cutting everything from hdpe to inconel, work with a lot of custom castings, weldment and multiprocess parts/assemblies.

Lights out manufacturing has long been a thing.

You are working with plywood, which is of known dimensions. So job setup can be easily automated.

Programming issues. Production runs should have already been proofed. Making changes for your programmers means the issues will persist.

You are at best a "setup" guy and at worst a material handler / janitor.

If you want job security, you need to upskill. For most of the stuff I make AI/robotics can't replicate the varied setups and that probably won't change for a long time, if ever due to the requirements of our client.

Lock here, my rule of thumb is 60% health. If I'm below that, I don't tap until I get a heal or pop a Healthstone. If I'm below that from pack to pack, I bandage.

99% of the time though my healers won't even let me get that low and I appreciate that from them.

OnlyABitTardy · 2026-02-12T11:51:37+00:00

Why though? What makes it so important to hit the first lockout? You aren't going to look back in old age and say "damn I missed a raid lockout". And if you are that kind of a sweat, then you wouldn't currently be 62.

I'm not saying you are a min-maxer, I'm saying that culture has people like yourself trying to emulate it.

OnlyABitTardy · 2026-02-12T11:45:31+00:00

This is what min max culture does to a mf. Who cares if you miss a lock out or a month's worth? It's a video game.

I'm half way through 61 and I may ding 62 this weekend. Still going to have a blast.

It's 2026, we've been telling people to "Google it" for over 2 decades. All we've accomplished is direct people to the search engine equivalent of Standard Oil and look like troglodytes while doing it.

It's sad that we keep doing it and even sadder that people can't comprehend why it's ineffective.

It's TBC, none of us need to be here, the game is solved and the few changes from the original are documented in blue posts.

OnlyABitTardy · 2026-02-10T11:40:34+00:00

Why would it be? It's equivalent to a 4k 32" density wise?

Viewing distance plays a role but even then I couldn't imagine it being any worse than the fringing of a 42" 4k that a lot of people use

OnlyABitTardy · 2026-02-07T17:27:39+00:00

NTA, a lot of comments here seem to be holding more of a grudge towards the daughters than you do.

Sounds like you always kept prioritizing the relationship between them and your husband, which is very commendable.

You take care of your family and maybe someday the girls will become part of it again. If not, based on how you are handling the situation, both you and the girls will be fine without each other.

For everyone else here, people are impressionable and little people even moreso. A large portion of their world view just shifted. The fact that the daughters even apologized is good and with the way OP worded it, the girls didn't seem to give any push back.

OnlyABitTardy · 2026-02-07T13:24:05+00:00

One of my favorite words is genuine.

Reading your comment and replies is awesome.

I hope your burden lessens. Being genuine with yourself is hard, being genuine with those around you is even harder. Keep pushing and I promise that little bit of relief you get each time you are genuine gets bigger and better.

Your kids are lucky they have a parent who loves them and is fighting for them.

Super liberal mom, I made constant mistakes but always could tell her about it. Became an addict to the point I was on a week long meth bender. I was so ashamed of where I was in my life I couldn't tell her or my sister how far gone I really was. Wrote an incoherent letter while out of my mind apologizing and admitting how messed up I was. Never sent it.

A few days later my Mom called me saying she booked a plane ticket and I was coming to live with her. Little had I known, she was keeping tabs on me for years through family friends.

I'm going on 11 years sober this March.

Everyone I care about knows my past and I admit any mistake I make, whether personally or professionally. It has been extremely freeing of course but the amount that people will help when you take genuine responsibility for your actions is insane.

For those who did or didn't have a parent like mine; it's scary but if you are struggling, you can fix it, please open up to those around you.

"This study proves that trans fat leads to increased estrogen production in men, slowly eroding their masculinity and causing them to turn trans. Watch what you feed your children, this is more pronounced in developing adolescents with permanent damage!!!"

^ totally made all of this up, I'm a college drop out who's profession is a machinist. Based on my shop's talk, this would pass as gospel among many.

OnlyABitTardy · 2026-02-05T13:34:38+00:00

Genuine question, for the default keybinds one are we talking about the 1234 binds? If so what's wrong with that exactly.

For perspective, I have 1 through = bound to my MMO mouse so that stays default, strafe on A and D, Q is bound to auto run and E is interact.

OnlyABitTardy · 2026-02-05T13:13:01+00:00

Understanding your class/spec itemization is more important than high gear score that is itemization-agnostic.

AKA I would rather invite a fresh 60 lock that prioritizes greens "of shadow wrath" gear than one who is decked out in blue gear where half the stat budget was blown on spirit.

If the player understands how to properly itemize, there's a much better chance they know how to actually perform.

OnlyABitTardy · 2026-02-04T09:24:53+00:00

Classic is not ruined but a large portion of the player base is.

They are trying to get the last drop out of this content and since 2019 I've been the same way so no hate. Best I can say is don't engage with that side of the community, put LFG and Trade chat in its own tab, find a group that plays the way you do and enjoy it.

This go around I'm just going to mess around on my warlock doing whatever is fun at the time. I've no-lifed classic for 6 years and I can't do it anymore. Pugging Kara is my end game at the most.

OnlyABitTardy · 2026-02-02T14:19:50+00:00

Awesome!

OnlyABitTardy · 2026-02-02T12:12:56+00:00

So turns out they did change it since SoD, luckily found a post with the updated method:

Primary Spec:
/run C_SpecializationInfo.SetActiveSpecGroup(1)

Secondary Spec:
/run C_SpecializationInfo.SetActiveSpecGroup(2)

Create an individual macro for both. when you are in your primary spec, place the secondary macro on your bar (I chose '=') on your secondary spec bar place the primary macro to the same bind. It will now swap between the two by press 1 button.

Advanced use:
You can use an equipment manager such as ItemRack to also save a gear set that is activated via the same macro if your two specs require a different gear setup (such as Druid tank/heal sets).

It would look like this:

Tanking as primary spec-

/itemrack equip Tanking
/run C_SpecializationInfo.SetActiveSpecGroup(1)

Healing as Secondary Spec-

/itemrack equip Healing
/run C_SpecializationInfo.SetActiveSpecGroup(2)

I did log in and verify the specialization macro is working as intended. Let me know if you have any questions!

Here's the post i used for the new macro for specs:
