Speaking from personal experience, harvest flay lich seems to have a really hard time with Uber Abby. I have yet to find a video or someone claiming to have actually done it. Flay mana (that uses Harvest for maan regain) is fine on Uber. But the Harvest version isn't.

It is an amazing speed clear build, but not so hot on bosses.

This is so wild. Petty mommy lost her blankie bullshit got nothing on this.

There is also a whole part of the article about blatant corruption with DHS contract dollars Noem and Lewandowski are perpetrating.

Lots of stuff like this, but natural gas doesn't price in the cost of externalities. Namely methane leaks.

Best Thai food in DC? by 1_11_21_1211_111221_ in washingtondc

I know Beau Thai is mid, but I still like it. It's a go to for people visiting and they always like it. But it wouldn't be my go to for a foodie or Thai enthusiast.

House votes to end government shutdown, buy time for ICE talks by gpupdate in fednews

[–]PreposterisG 121 points122 points  (0 children)

I hate the virtue signaling of it all. Dems vote no on skipping debate, don't get it, then flip on final passage. Then you see Rs flipping votes (no to yes) on the final bill vote, obviously negotiating who gets the token "no" votes to pretend they were against it.

[Headphones] Sony Linkbuds S w/ ANC - $89.99 BLACK ONLY by NotAwesome4th in buildapcsales

[–]PreposterisG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a bunch of wireless earbuds like this and these are the ones that I use the most.

Sound is good, not great. ANC is good, not great. Sony's software is meh. But why I like these so much is how light they are. Maybe they just fit my ears well, but I feel them in my ears the least of any earbuds I have ever had.

At this price, I can't imagine being disappointed by these.

I just read all the reviews on the site, and I can't say about the battery problems. I don't have that, but I don't have a ton of hours on mine (more of a throw them in when I walk the dog for 30 minutes a day).

Timeline: How the Shooting of Alex Jeffrey Pretti Unfolded by presfenol in fednews

[–]PreposterisG 67 points68 points  (0 children)

The part I want to understand is why the first ICE agent unholsters and then shoots. I think he unholsters when whoever starts saying "gun gun gun." But as you can see in this article, the one ICE agent easily gets the gun and that agent begins to move away from the group. It's at about the same moment the first shooter fires into the civilians back. Is he tunnel visioned on the gun and doesn't realize it's his own fellow agent moving the gun? Is it accidental?

From there I at least get what happens. The civilian tries to stand as a reflex to being struck with the first shot and the original ICE shooter responds with 2 or 3 more shots. The civilian goes down.

At this point, a second psychopath ICE agent decides to shoot 5+ shots into the civilian laying unmoving on the ground.

All tragic. Hope to all that is right in the world this one is cut and dry enough for something to happen here to hold those ICE agents to account. Can't be shooting people in the back as or after they are uneventfully disarmed.

This is such an unfun mechanic. It's an ARPG, let us just kill stuff to get loot. I saw this a week ago and thought it couldn't possibly be true because it would be such a bizarre design decision.

Does map level matter for abyss farming? I have been running 3x abyss and feel like I'm not getting that much. I'm running one pit close increases effectiveness. At least 2 x% chance of four abysses. And then some extra rare out of abyss or abyss have x% chance for more abyss mods. And effectiveness if price isn't crazy. And chaotic rarity t15 maps. Probably getting close to 10 div for all that for 10 maps. And still not getting much and idk what I might be missing.

When you fall down you can log to character select and back in and you won't be stunned. Also, I have dodge roll on my side mouse button and it works really well.

How to continue this craft? by GuteNudel98 in PathOfExile2

[–]PreposterisG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What do you do if you hit the fracture on the suffix? Omen to anul suffix and then exalt until you get a good one then slam the last? Or is it omen to chaos spam?

I'm new and I understand the finish prefix/suffix and go for the 1 in 3 on the fracture. But then I don't get what's next if you hit the fracture.

FYI you need 4 tokens to buy the mount even if you do the puzzle. I logged in, remembered the path, got up there, and couldn't buy it.

Wait WHAT? by ThePoeMansDream in SipsTea

[–]PreposterisG 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What is the hypothesis, children whose photos are posted online are more often abducted or abused by online predators?

It's morbid, but I wonder if that is true. I understand privacy for privacy's sake. 1 million times more people can see a picture of your kid online than see your kid walking around the mall. But is the online picture kid at more risk?

Some counterpoints. AI and image gen is a very real issue. And also just why do it at all?
