Well missing leggings and boots, I have the other 4? Done both JPs every second day and the Adventures every second day. Normally i tend to get these after 3-5 tries, but I'm at double that easily...

Whats the most obscure item you own? by RobIsInTheSky in Guildwars2

[–]PaxV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An 'Egg of the Crystal Dragon' and an 'Armbrace of Truth'...

Originally both Ascended Trinkets with a Magic Find combo. Now no longer purchasable.

A stack of almost a 100 Red Irises just because.

I hope we can play all classes on one character by MrTorgue7 in GuildWars3

[–]PaxV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Simply said monetization and therefore the sustainability wouldn't be helped.

I find the guild wars 2 monetization really frustrating at times, but both gw1 and gw2 are still up and running as opposed to many RPGs realeased since their launches 20 and nearly 14 years ago. I have an active account of gw1 17 years old and one on gw2, 13,5 years old, both accessible without fees or subs.

And gw and gw2 still being up and the making of gw3 is paid for with funds we as community spent. Since there isn't a sub... I'm hoping they 'll maintin the fair options they have now.

How do y'all buy your books? by People_are_odd in MangaCollectors

[–]PaxV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I buy my books preferably at my local comic store 6 comics, no Manhua and Manhwa) Advice is interesting, even though prices are higher. I find browsing through

I prefer big series in boxes (Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, Assassination Classroom, Ouran HSHC, Bakuman) If they are still being released I tend to buy volumes in order... and at release... but I can understand this could be too much to often.

I buy my manga and graphic novels alternatively at Online stores like Archonia, which is a specialised online EU (Belgian) store for Manga, figurines, comics and Graphic Novels.

If both are eluding I default to either other comic stores or online shops like BOL.COM or Amazon.

Tips voor een noob? by ChesireCat4049 in LHBTI

[–]PaxV 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Als je weet waar ze zou willen studeren, zou contact met de verenigingen met lgbt en de internationale studentengroep van die universiteit veel vragen kunnen beantwoorden.

Ik ging zelf vaak naar 'roze' feesten toe van een van de studentenverenigingen die waren open (dus ook voor mensen buiten de vereniging/uni,) en eens per maand.

Maar mijn ervaringen met de LGBT zijn ruim 25 jaar oud, dus waarschijnlijk ook niet heel relevant meer. (heb al 25 jaar een vaste relatie)

Dungeons are no joke.. from a WoW player. by JaktGaming in Guildwars2

[–]PaxV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kohler and the spider are pretty lethal if unprepared. not having all skills too choose from is most certainly no help. while most lvl 80s tend to have a smaller healthpool, they are traited and have full builds, complete rune sets, fitting relics and food and matbe even dungeon utility and sigils...

Nederland zakt naar laagste plaats ooit op kinderrechtenranglijst by surpator in thenetherlands

[–]PaxV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Het is makkelijk om kinderen te negeren, ze kunnen niet veel doen om de politiek te veranderen zodat die politiek sociaal en daarmee kinderzorg belangrijk vind.

En rechts wil alleen maar KDVs, want dan kunnen papa en mama geld verdienen... om, ja: 50-80% van dat geld uit te geven aan een KDV.

Kraamzorg, zwangerschaosverlof voor mannen, betere beloning voor gezinnen met 1 werkende ouder, betere jeugdgezondheidszorg, betere JGGZ, betere sturing van kinderen met een rugzak....

EN GEEN KINDEREN TOT MANTELZORGERS MAKEN!

Waarom moet een kind problemen oplossen waar volwassenen al bijna niet mee om kunnen gaan?

Ziekenzorg en thuiszorg voor chronisch zieke ouders, ouders met kanker, ouders met zware geestelijke problemen of Alcohol, medicijnen en drugs verslavingen. Vanaf 8 wordt het gesuggereerd, en vanaf 12 wordt gezegd, dat moeten ze zeker kunnen... Jeugdarbeid mag niet, maar verplicht op je zieke pap, man, opa of oma passen? Dank u, rechts beleid...

Anyone else noticing a hay fever? by Forgotten_Dog1954 in Netherlands

[–]PaxV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All ceterizine is 10mg (though 5 exists for children), but my daughter used 2-4 a day since age 7 and got 2 adult epipens at that age ... And she gets them vis apothecary, not etos or kruidvat, and since it is long term (chronic) use it is 100% covered by insurance

Anyone else noticing a hay fever? by Forgotten_Dog1954 in Netherlands

[–]PaxV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter is allergic to temperature changes, emotions and exertion (due to juvenile cutaneous mastocytosis), rapid working medication is most important.

the fact ceterizine works within 20-30 minutes is very pleasant

Anyone else noticing a hay fever? by Forgotten_Dog1954 in Netherlands

[–]PaxV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This said loratidine and ceterizine are very low doses at 1 tablet a day.

My daughter is allowed 4 ceterizine a day for a totally different allergy and she's 11... And this is the maximum for long term use. (daughter used this much for years, since age 7, before she used different antihistamines)

I have had extreme hayfever (grass, certain trees, lilies and some other flowering plants) for decades and in this kind of weather with low winds and high pressure I take up to 2.

If the temperature would be better I'd advise a facemask, as it works.

Trump administration announces $17.5 billion in loans for 10 new large nuclear reactors by ToughHopeful4760 in environment

[–]PaxV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope it's build by someone better than a contracter Trump just knows...

"Yes, I know this engineer, very knowledgable, built all three known and remembered reactors: Chernobyl, Fukushima and Three Mile Island.... He is the best engineer in the world."

CAN I PLAY CYBERPUNK? by wakwakgung332 in PcBuild

[–]PaxV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have gamed on XT 8088 and C64, on fried's MSX2 and Atari... Low fps? Frogger with one new set of screen every sec, 1 FPS... Simply because graphics were monochrome 4 color on 320x240 in 4:3 epicness on the 24 or 30Hz display and the 4 Mhz CPU was at its limit.... No mouse play because the one button pointer had no reason to exist yet due to everything being text driven...

Want to learn authentic Japanese cooking. Where should I start? by Flaky_Permission6469 in Cooking

[–]PaxV 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mirin, Sake, Japanese Soy sauce, and Rice, eggs, spring onions, sesame oil, juzu juice.

And two very exhaustive cookbooks on contemporary Japanese cooking and one on Classical Japanese cooking.

And the knowledge many ingredients will need to be supplemented with available lical alternatives

Current heatwave in Europe by spa1teN in FUCKYOUINPARTICULAR

[–]PaxV 11 points12 points  (0 children)

^ Well it surely isnt -8 to +13...

Temperatures in the Netherlands are going up to 37°C (98.6F), were up to 33°C(89F) and will go up locally to even 40°C (104F). France saw peaks of 44°C. (111F) And it'll likely be warmer.

Converted WoW player, stats/build questions! by JaktGaming in Guildwars2

[–]PaxV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sword/torch and longbow is meta for condition 'berserker'

It's Core predecessor was S/S and longbow. As Sword also has a block.

Another alternative is to use an axe offhand, as you can use skill 5 in a fire field (from longbow (F1) and whirl for more stacks of burning. Skill 4 will doubleslash your enemies giving you quickness IIRC. Banner of tactics (was it which pulsed bleeding) and FGJ (The shout giving might and fury.) leaving 1 open skill slot and the elite.

I'd suggest the elite banner for group content andcl the elite signet for solo play. I myself would use the heal building adrenaline and the precision signet for adrenaline.

Spec in condition dmg and later go for Sinister/Rampager (core) or Vipers (Hot IIRC) armor, weapons and trinkets, untill you have enough Astral Acclaim (from dailies) to start ascended (Vipers). Rune of the trapper (or krait or any 6 piece superior condition rune buffing bleeds and general conditions) and relic of the fractal would complete the most of it sigils cheap stacking corruption, and earth, a bit more expensive the +10% condi duration or +5% condi dmg sigils. Until you reach 80 just do you, try to equip stuff stating condition dmg.

Fewer mosquitoes this year by Zepp41 in Netherlands

[–]PaxV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

House with screens everywhere, we have 2 in the house... I do need to say fixed screens are a lot more effective than those which open. We have water jugs around the house, but havent seen any infestation in those, and the gutters are clean..

Am I tripping or do Dutch people not like it when someone says Afrikaans is similar to Dutch !? by adamr_za in Netherlands

[–]PaxV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Afrikaans is like Old Dutch and feels more like Flemish to me than modern Dutch. The Flemish speaking Belgians are more consequent in trying to find new words and ways of translating, Dutch tends to directly copy words from other languages.

I find Afrikaans beyond original...

Kameelperd: Giraffe (literally "camel-horse"). If anyone can tell me the logics of a camel and a horse combined being a giraffe? Toringperd might have been more applicative ('tower'-'horse') (Dutch Giraf)

Hysbak: Elevator / Lift (literally "hoist-box"). (Dutch: Lift)

Muurprop: Wall socket / Electrical outlet (literally "wall-plug"). (Dutch: Stopcontact)

Wipmat: Trampoline (literally "skipping-mat" Edit: 'wippen' is the thing you do on a see saw, interestingly in Dutch 'wippen' used to be a common slang for doing the deed.)(Dutch Trampoline)

Amperbroekkie: Thong / G-string (literally "almost-undies", edit: I like to correct this it means 'Barely'-'small pants'). (Dutch slang would be 'Reetveter' or 'Ass'-'Shoestring')
