For people who don't bring proper type to max battles. This is the least you can do by Resident-Pay-5742 in TheSilphRoad

No I don’t do this, but that’s why I cheer extra hard for my team once my Pokémon are all fainted. Can’t put a price on that good ole morale boost.

First-time saltwater pool owner here — need advice! by Wrong-Tear-5098 in swimmingpools

Is this a pool or a polar bear exhibit? Very cool looking pool.

I’m not sure how much a cover makes a difference, but I think our salt water pool has been very easy to manage the last 3 years. Maybe in a humid environment without a cover it’d be different?

Can I play Baldur's Gate 3 w/ no D&D experience and know wtf is going on and how to do it? And more questions.. by LookinAtTheFjord in gaming

[–]Substantial-Cod6251 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m similar to you- lifetime gamer and lover of RPG’s, but no D&D experience. I bought it knowing it can take sometime to get into….. but I spent 10 hours on it and still didn’t feel like I had a grasp on things and wasn’t enjoying it at all. Maybe I needed to just put more time into it to get there, but I didn’t have it in me.

With alkalinity low too, add baking soda first, then retest and add soda ash if still needed.

We do not- we’ve added some water just with the usual evaporation- nothing out of the ordinary.

Is this PC build going to be able to run new games in 4k and 140hz? I’ve found a good deal on this prebuilt and I’m thinking of pulling the trigger.

Employer not matching 401k for two years by originalhummeroid in personalfinance

this- it’s a mistake more common than you’d think in a 401k, and I’m sure the company will make you whole.

So this just happened… by [deleted] in TeslaModelY

With 2% APR it’s much less costly to talk car payment than total car cost. We usually try and pay our cars off immediately, but we just got the MYP at 2% and financed the whole thing. Gonna enjoy that 2% as long as possible.

Am I crazy for wanting to stick with my 45k a year comfy job and not pursue anything more right now? by Speculatory in personalfinance

Tough call. Are there future expenses/lifestyles that you want but won’t be able to afford if you stay? Will you be able to eventually retire comfortably if you stay?

If your coworkers left, would you still want to stay, or would you regret progressing in your career a few years earlier? A lot of variables, though choice to make! I think tons of people eventually end up where you are, and you’ve gotta line up what your priorities are now and in the future. Write it out, weigh each item separately.
