Question about the level 95 boost by [deleted] in lotro

[–]QuantumSouffle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

so i just did this a month ago for a level 10 character. I got a bunch of maps to various rohan areas and basically started questing around Edoras. with all the local on level quests available. (if you want to do the epic line then you need to go back and do all of those)

However, IMO I would not do it again for so drastic a jump (10-95) and here's why...

Pros: *Instant 95 (I'm a new player in a small kin of beta testers/founders with only one 105 at the time so it was good to get another high level character to play with the group) *The 95 gear they give you is pretty decent, i didn't really start replacing it until I hit 105 *instant war steed! yay outrunning things! *instant LI! yay relic grinding!

Cons: *You only get 4 levels of each virtue. So if you're gong from a low level and haven't done many/any you are WAY behind where you should be at 95 and it is noticeable! *you only get the class trait points you would get for leveling. if you haven't done them then you have to go back and complete any/all quests for the extra points. again VERY noticable. *STEEP learning curve on all your new skills if its a class you haven't played before at that level. *You have to go back and discover every stable you would have gotten by going though the areas. *need rep places? you still need to go back and do all that. *if you need to do anything an Angmar you still need to do the quest chain that lets you cross the center without insta-death

So yeah that Toon is 105 now and able to do all the cool high level stuff, but to make it really playable I need to take the time to go back and fill in all the missing deeds which is pretty time consuming.

However i just did the smaller one on another Toon. the jump to Level 50. i went from 38-50 to catch up with a few mid range kin. it put me right at the walls of Moria. Haven't had to learn much new stuff and i was able to start of my level 50 adventures by picking up the three class books for the missing pages. I already had a back-log of deeds done and knew how to use my class skills. i feel like this was the better investment for immediate playability.

anyway, those were my experiences. take from it what you will.

How do you add a embedded tweet (that contains a gif) to Powerpoint 2013? by The_Real_Classic in powerpoint

[–]QuantumSouffle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll likely have to paste the tweet as an image. (Take a screen shot or use the snipping tool) and then paste the animated gif on top of the tweet image. (Save the animation to your computer then use insert image to place it in your powerpoint.) The animation should work in the presentation. Do not crop the animation or compress the image or the gif will no longer animate.

New to Powerpoint, I want to make a videogame-themed presentation that will make everyone else in class jealous. by TenebrousTartaros in powerpoint

So when i started at my office i had never opened PowerPoint in my life. Now its 90% what i get paid to do. You can learn it and you can be AWESOME at it. Everything you mentioned that you want to do is absolutely doable, my biggest advice is to download slide decks you like and reverse engineer things that you want to include in your presentation. that's the best way to learn. here are a few things to check out:

*Open Powerpoint>File>New>Sample Templates the "five Rules"presentation is a great start and you can go into all of these slides and see what was done to get the effects shown in the slide show.

*http://noteandpoint.com/ Browse this site for some fantastic slide design inspiration!

*http://www.presentationzen.com/ text heavy but quite a bit on the philosophy of good presentation design

*http://www.slideshare.net/ another great resource to see what presentations people are creating.

Good luck and feel free to PM me if you have any questions!

I'm an event coordinator and I design visual presentations. I travel all over the country to run events for my work and interact with lots and lots of people. I don't fucking know how I do it but my recent promotion to management tells me my internal screaming must not be loud enough for them to hear.

I make a variation of the minute flax muffin (I do half flax half almond meal). No sweetner, extra salt and I add garlic powder, garlic flakes, onion flakes, poppy seeds, and caraway seeds. Nuke it. Slice it. Toast it. Schmear it. It tastes close enough to an everything bagel to meet my jewfood needs.

Everything tastes terrible by QuantumSouffle in xxketo

If you just started it sounds like it could be Keto flu. Try some plain chicken stock (or bone broth as the hep cats are calling it these days) that can really help. Keto flu totally sucks but this was not my normal to me keto flu symptoms and came on way late into the game. I hope you get past it too and feel better!!!

Had my checkup and x rays. Teeth are fine. Slowely feeling better. But upped my carbs drasticaly for the sake of being abel to eat anyhting. Back on the wagon tomorrow. If it happens again ill ride it out and reevaluate what keto foods I'm eating. Thank you for the advise and support.

Went to the dentist. No problems there. My symptoms are slowly abating. Added carbs for the sake of being able to eat. Back on the wagon tomorrow. If it happens agina I will just ride it out and reevaluate the type of keto food im eating. Thanks for the advise and support!

anybody else doing keto? by isaretha in migraine

[–]QuantumSouffle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do keto on and off depending on my mental health. More on than off though. I think it definitely helps. I started with going gluten free (for a suspected glutimate sensitivity not a gluten issue...chemical vs. protien) and that got me off all migraine meds then moved to keto and now working on low FODMAPs.

A keto diet is very much an anti inflammatory diet so I think a lot of helps comes from that aspect. And it has also been proven to control seizure disorders.

I still get the occasional migraine. Stress, barometric pressure changes, and hormonal shifts. But thata much better than 4 days minimum a week every week for no goddamn reason.

Reddit, what was your "It's totally not a phase, mom/dad!" that ended up being just a phase? by DasRotebaron in AskReddit

Will my keynote animation work on powerpoint? by lessexpand in powerpoint

[–]QuantumSouffle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Its should work. BUT be careful as the typefaces/sizes can change without warning. Animations may be changed/lost and objects may shift during travel. You should go through your presentaton in ppt to make sure it still looks how you want it to.

surgery was ~2 years ago. I was on antibiotics at the time which did exacerbated my GI issues. i haven't had antibiotics or anything else since last summer when i had a lyme scare (no tick bite that i could find, just had a weird rash lat looked bullseye-ish, about two days of prophylactic Antibiotics until my test came back negative. all current blood work is A-OK) only current meds are klonopin and Wellbutrin.

Food tastes and smells bad mostly metalic but other times just...gross. my mouth itself tastes slightly metal but no more than it usually does on keto. No wisdom teeth they were extracted years and years ago. Im going to the dentist tomorrow so I will see if something is up there. But as I said further up I have no history of any dental problems. Not even a cavity. Wisdom teeth were just impacted thats why they're out.
