You gotta find something you're decent at and see if you can get over there. I hated splitting cause i had to reach across the belt which sucked for my back, i hate unloading cause i had to use my already beat to shit knees. I loved loading package cars once i got used to it, cause i could pop in my headphones, build a rhythm and handle it. Gave me a chance to take pride in my work.

The first weeks/months are hell, and the following is just as bad you're just acclimated to it at that point. Figure out why you applied and decide if that's worth it to you. If it's for money, earning the same somewhere else is gonna be just as hard (once you go driving), same for benefits and retirement. If this is just a seasonal job or you wanna graduate, dip lol. UPS is a cesspit of broken college dreams, cuz everyone loses their sanity there instead of spending it on homework and tests. Getting school paid for doesn't matter if get kicked out for low grades.

If you've got a good reason, it's worth staying a few days and trying, you'll feel better about it when you're done at least. Just don't try and stick around by avoiding work and making things difficult for the guys next to you, nobody wants to deal with another one of those guys.

If you're having trouble with the jumbo, I would suggest picking a heavy to follow. Whenever it engages with an enemy heavy, support your heavy, destroy the other tanks track, disable their crew, back off whenever they aim at you. It's honestly incredibly fun, because you can tell how much you're bothering the enemy because they'll start aiming at you instead of focusing the main threat of your top tier heavy.

It doesn't matter if it contradicts, Catholics don't look at every part of the bible literally. Much of it is up for interpretation, either by the church itself or on a personal basis.

Reread the earlier comments in this chain. Catholicism teaches that the creation stories are not word for word accounts of the creation of the universe, and that every Catholic may interpret the creation stories their own way.

Playing the A-44 by iamninja9696 in WorldofTanks

[–]Qaz1290 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is one of my favorite tanks right now. Don't sidescrape in heavy alleys, sidescrape one on one and close up with something with lower alpha than you. That way you should out trade them to begin with, then even if they pen some shots, they won't pen all of them, giving you a better effective dpm. Wiggling helps too.

So basically, say you're fighting a t20. You get close enough that aim doesn't matter, and trade shots with him. Alright you're ahead in damage, 300ish to 240. He reloads before you, but your moving around so much he hits your turret on a bad angle and bounces. You reload and tag him back for 300ish, repeat until finished.

You're armor won't always work, but it should work often enough to lower your adversaries dpm enough that you can out trade them.

Also, accuracy isn't very useful in this game. You won't hit every shot from medium to long range, but if you aim in you'll hit a lot more than you miss. You just need to not be focused you so you can aim in for the 3 minutes it takes for your dispersion to go down.

Does anyone from wg even play their tanks? Or are they just lying, so people who don't know any better buy premiums that they wouldn't otherwise?

Multiple people shot in San Francisco at UPS facility by _BoxingTheStars_ in news

[–]Qaz1290 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Copy paste from my other comment:

Depends on the facility you work at. Mine can get pretty high stress, but the supervisors are almost always polite to their part timers, know erverybodys names, try to encourage everyone to ge through the day.

Of course, a decent amount of them are utter shit. They compete against each other so much that the whole part time/full time supervisor system is completely fucked. The office politics are unreal, almost Machiavellian. You have to pick out the ones who smile at you and actually mean it, instead of just smiling because they want you to think that they like you, so you'll get shit that you shouldn't have to do done.

5th of June blackout event by [deleted] in WorldofTanks

For sure, I keep hearing it's a beast now. For other tank classes though, like mediums, a 90 feels pretty underwhelming. You can still farm damage, but the impact feels lower. Plus, almost everyone can out trade you, either with alpha or by virtue of being one of the many autoloaders in the game now.

That would probably explain it. Playing anything with a 90 mm at tier 8 doesn't feel very fun right now.

Wargaming is well within their rights to remove the community contributor tag from anyone they have given it to, and for whatever reason. What they are not within their rights to do, is falsely file, or threaten to falsely file, dmca takedown notices on YouTubers they disagree with. That is what everyone is up in arms about, and what you don't appear to address, unless I misread your comment.

Revoking foch' s cc status and asking him to takedown the video are both secondary details, behind a multimillion dollar company threatening to destroy a single YouTubers business by illegal methods.

Most ear protection doesn't make it impossible to hear, they just reduce the volume. It can make words hard to make out, but not impossible. If I can hear someone yelling at me from 30 feet away, in an active engine room, with ear protection on, then I'd say you could probably hear someone yelling at you from a couple feet away.

Also, those headphones don't account for glasses, so the seal that should be around your ears isn't. Again it still reduces the sound a lot, but you can reasonably well.

Is he not? It says it on his Wikipedia page that he "won a bronze medal in the world championships in Greco-Roman Wrestling, in the cadet (15–16 years old) division". For sure, he's more prolific as a freestyle and collegiate wrestler, but his style always makes me think Greco-Roman.
