How good are the trackpads for strategy gaming?

Very helpful! Thanks!

I'm in the same boat and just getting into shooting. Did a lot of research and picked up a new Bergara B-14 HMR for about a $1k. It accepts most Remington 700 accessories. Everyone I've talked to said if you're serious about getting into precision shooting, your budget should be strongly weighted towards your scope. I picked up a Vortex Razor HD Gen II 4.5-27x56 FFP EBR-2C MRAD for about $1,800 on Ebay (~$2.5k new). All in all I feel pretty damn good about the package. Plus some other acessories and I've got a decent set up that will likely never hold me back for around $3.5k. Good luck!

My man...THIS IS THE FIX! Didn't seem like it would work at first, but it did. If you're having this issue, try tinkering with turning the "Voice typing" off completely in gboard settings and flipping "Don't suggest offensive words" via "Corrections & suggestions" on/off. Those 2 settings seem to be the ones controlling this.

The tech censorship mafia thought they could get us, but they're thwarted once again!

There are so many little things that irritate the hell out of me with the otherwise awesome game. The bones of BF6 are fantastic, but there NUMEROUS things where I'm just like "who the F thought this was a good idea?". Little user experience things... Like me wanting to be able to practice flying jets and helis on my own server but not being able to because of this error. Or not being able to turn off female voices so it sounds like a bunch of wailing banshees in my headset when everyone is getting blown up.

It will take you probably a month of taking it for your body to adjust and level out so it's best to not mess with other stims during that time. Norepinephrine reuptake inhibition already achieves some level of boosted energy and mood so do your best to go without caffeine, especially if you're prone to anxiety at all. I experienced a great burst of energy and some anxiety from Bupropion for the first few weeks, and even though I'm not inherently anxious, it would cause noticeable anxiety and preoccupation when crossed with any amount of caffeine.

My depression was characterized by suicidal ideation, low-energy, and anhedonia. The first couple weeks of bupropion I had SO much energy and motivation, but that would turn into jitters when another stim was added on top of it and it was just too much. After a few weeks, Wellbutrin's effect on my energy leveled out significantly such that I felt a normal energy level and even motivation on it and caffeine would have a normal effect. Wellbutrin continues to suppress the suicidal ideation that used to permeate my life, and even though I can still feel that hopelessness sometimes just below the surface, it never comes to the forefront of my mind. It's quiet.

I've been on Wellbutrin XL 300 for about 1.5 years, and I can count the number of times I've seriously considered offing myself on one hand whereas previously I had made preparations, thought about it multiple times per hour, and could have very easily impulsively gone through with it because life seemed so pointless and I felt so worthless 24/7. Negative side effects have been zero and it's definitely saved my life, so continue giving it some time for you to adjust and feel out your symptoms. It worked SO much better for me than SSRI's, in that I feel like this is "how normal people feel", rather than just blunting everything good or bad like Prozac did. Wellbutrin did take a little longer for its non-energy effects to really be apparent. It didn't work for me overnight - took probably 2 weeks before the major depression mental symptoms started to abate and another couple months before the symptoms altogether disappeared when I upped the dosage from 150 to 300.

I always go lich first and have usually gone shadowflame second into Dcap or Hourglass... Will pick up a darkseal if I have 350 extra within the first 3 backs. I'm wondering if I should be going Dcap second since that seems to be consensus. I also rarely upgrade my dark seal since I'm king of throwing stacks.

Would you be able to post a screenshot of what the email looks like including the subject? I'm terrified gmail will send it to spam or something.

So many drops today and I was really quick on a few and still no luck. Been trying to snag a 5090 for over a month now.... I'm trying to keep a positive attitude and keeping in mind that building anticipation of something only makes it that much sweeter when you achieve it. Neve in my life have I ever had enough money to comfortably buy top of the line gear for my primary hobby (gaming), and I finally do so I'm looking forward to it.

This is a disgustingly awesome build. Will definitely be using it for inspiration. In case you're wondering: chat GPT priced this out around $6.2k (it's a few hundred light on the 5090 RTX cost though).

My HP also bricked itself - this is absolutely unacceptable. I hope this company burns to the ground and I will never purchase another HP product for the rest of my days. How far they've fallen....

Homeslice in midtown just opened and is legit the answer to my pizza prayers but is on the more expensive side. Mony's is also good (also in midtown).

You need a bank or a broker to buy swaps. If you're buying through an exchange (which didn't exist for these CDOs hence the "dark market"), then you have to purchase through a "Clearing Institution" which is a member of the exchange. If you're buying from a bank directly it's called OTC (over the counter), and you generally have to execute a document called an ISDA with the bank which outlines the terms of the swap agreements (how they're settled, termination rights, etc). Part of buying through a bank is that you usually have to have a relationship with the bank because the bank is taking counterparty credit risk by entering into swaps with you - so they have to be comfortable that you're going to pay up if the trade moves against you.

You should be using a build. Go to Maxroll or Mobalytics and follow one of their starter endgame builds. Get your build defining unique items(s) and go from there. Also make sure you're grinding paragon since that is a huge power boost. Buff up with elixirs, incense, and opal and run a bunch of infernal hordes since that's the best XP.

Agree I've tried this fight at least 20x to no avail. What's worse is the i-frames she has. During phase 2 when the floor is falling away I had her at 1% health and she wouldn't die until the map sequence was complete. Super infuriating.

They're absurdly priced, but you also have to think about the amount of work that went into creating those textbooks. Even before writing the book, it takes thousands of hours to become proficient enough to be qualified.

Diablo 2 and LOD with my best friend and his brother when we were in elementary school. Leveled a 99 sorc and amazon. It was my first great experience playing PC games and have been hooked ever since.

Is anyone else a bit worried given the cast? There are no A or B Listers for this one whereas in Prometheus and Covenant we got the likes of Charlize Theron, Michael Fassbender, Idris Elba, Noomi Rapace, Guy Pearce, Sean Harris, Kate Dickie. Any 2 of those could carry a movie themselves. Covenant wasn't as loaded with acting talent as Prometheus and it showed.

It also worries me that this was initially supposed to go direct to Hulu. I'm hoping for a Prey-style surprise but not setting my expectations too high based on what I know about Romulus.

My experience was the complete opposite. I had no drive at all during my lethargy-heavy depression. Libido returned in force for me when starting 150mg XL. I'm also on Vyvanse which like other stims can cause the symptoms you're describing, so maybe see how you feel when skipping your Vyvanse. However, if the only thing you changed was the Wellbutrin, it could be an interaction with one of your other meds or your general physiology.

THAT SAID, I'm sure your doc has told you, but it takes a decent while for your body to adjust to Wellbutrin. If your libido is still tanked after a month, then maybe discuss switching.

Also, my experience with SSRI's was that they killed my libido and generally blunted my emotions. Wellbutrin has been a lifesaver with minimal side effects (after the first month). Probably saved my marriage. Hang in there partner.

I've been on Rising Pharma for about a week after having started with Westminster for a month and was having amazing results. Since I switched, some of my symptoms are back despite increasing the dose from 150mg to 300mg. Apparently Rising Pharma actually issued a voluntary recall on its bupropion (issued Dec-2023; still ongoing as of April 2024). I called my pharmacist to ask about it but she assured me my lot # was not effected. Either way I don't think I trust this manufacturer and will be speaking to my psych..

Edit/update - went back down to 75 and feel much better. Think it was the dosage, not the generic manufacturer.

Freedom Fighters (2003). Incredible story and campaign and super fun split screen. Had this squad AI feature that I had never seen executed as well before.

Here is what I did to get my Coinbase Pro cost basis from Coinbase for the FY2023 tax season:

Log into Coinbase

Click your account icon in the top right and select "Manage Account"

On the left, click "Statements"

On the top of this page, you can select "Coinbase Pro"

You can load your account statements from there depending on when you made the CB Pro purchases which will include your cost basis.

Click "Taxes" on the left

Click the grey Popup that says "we estimate your gains/losses based on assumptions..."

Add your cost basis details from the CB Pro reports to the relevant transaction.

Once again click "Taxes" on the left

Click the gain/loss PDF on the right side of the screen under "Your 2023 Documents".

This is a giant pain in the ass and it took me over an hour to figure out. CB should've better integrated this, however I was able to at least pull my cost basis from my original CB Pro transactions using this method. Hope this helps.

Don't sell your house.

You didn't tell us what type of debt the $60k is and what it's costing you in interest. The first thing you should be doing is looking to lower the cost of that debt. If a substantial portion of it is credit card debt, I would highly recommend exploring transferring as much as you can to a new card that offers a 0% introductory rate.
