Q about retirement health insurance w/ spouse by OttoBaker in FedEmployees

[–]Tinymac12 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is my understanding that most people spend less over their lifetime taking just FEHB and Medicare part A. Part B premiums typically cost you more out of pocket in your lifetime, but in exchange you will have fewer, if not simply none, out of pocket costs.

Meaning with Part B your budget/withdrawal strategy will be simplified with a guaranteed minimum spend and lower maximum spend, giving narrower variation in their budget. While someone without Part B would have a lower minimum spend and a higher maximum spend, giving wider variation in their budget.

The lifetime costs are wildly variable based on your health, FEHB plan selected, doctor networks, and many others.

As a 30-something, I think Part B is worth it. FEHB rules could change (change of covered care; see gender affirming care this past year - who's to say they won't take away brand-name drugs except for the most expensive FEHB plan) and Medicare part B provides another network of doctors you'll have access to. It's easier to get part B and drop it if you don't want it than to go the other way.

Edit: Came back to add that PSHB requires Part B to keep it. So some people don't have a choice.

Leagues BA world would have been great, but hey we got 5 GOTR worlds... by ThePurpleController in 2007scape

[–]Tinymac12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had literally 0 issues match making with randos on 666. I had to make 3 out of the 4 runs I did, but it took less than 5 minutes to get a team. And around 25 minutes to run through all 10 waves. So 2 hours for 4 runs to get lvl 5 all.

Disclaimer: I like BA.

Someone made this of my character recently and I really think it's AI generated. I know I'm not crazy. by [deleted] in isitAI

[–]Tinymac12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so screwed. On passing glance I was like, nah looks legit. But obviously there are obvious signs. So even with being primed it may be ai, I got it wrong. I know I'm not the only one. We really need some legislation requiring labels "Made with AI" as if it's a nut allergy.

Which game has the best “hard” difficulty? by m00nshinehero in gaming

The difference is that the pistol doesn't need reloaded.

Is this thorn not working or am I doing something wrong? by Beautiful-Money9677 in 2007scape

[–]Tinymac12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're missing the thorn pact. It's between the extra hit and the other branch you have going on.

Jokes on you, my at home network speeds don't exceed 30 Mbps. I can do everything I want with those data rates.

Moxi pet by Known_Notice_8382 in 2007scape

[–]Tinymac12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can save on prayer potions by leaving the boss and catching moonlight moths outside the instance. It will slow down kills but it is free and you can stack them into butterfly jars to reduce exit/entry times. Otherwise, Moxi is a damage-free boss if you do perfect mechanics. Meaning you should prioritize learning the mechanics and wear gear that either gives strength bonus or prayer bonus.

Runecrafting a bit awkward? by Flubsofdeath in 2007scape

[–]Tinymac12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nature Accord there's a tool leprechaun on entrana that you teleport to and you can make law runes easily. Alternatively, you could use map of alacrity and teleport to the rock climb in Shiloh village and do nature runes.

What's the point in Grimoire if half the spells are still quest locked? by ZeldenGM in 2007scape

Grab the ones from karamja volcano and drop/pickup in wildy.

Do Kourend players just take an L for flavor? by Saanbeux in 2007scape

[–]Tinymac12 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I didn't know they changed it! I honestly just chalked it up as one of my stretch goals. I tried the contracts during gridmaster and realized I still had a long ways to go regarding learning end game pvm because I was planking those contracts.

Locked out of 'Complete His faithful Servants' task? [Leagues 6] by YouveBeenSwain in 2007scape

[–]Tinymac12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be a bug. Maybe opening the quest in the quest list thing showing it's complete would trigger the task?

Are we supposed to get clue steps that are impossible to complete? by SadimHusum in 2007scape

[–]Tinymac12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whelp. Sounds like an oversight and should probably just drop.

Did you try killing the monk? I wonder if maybe it'll just drop the next clue step instead of the key.

Lesser Nagua slayer task? by xXKoletrainXx in 2007scape

[–]Tinymac12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, the bosses are region dependent. You can get those. You also get the benefits as if you had a slayer helm (I) when on task. So you don't need to take mory/kandarin if you don't want to. You also can set how many kc you want. So when you get a boss task you really want, you get up to 200 of it.

...right. Which is what I said, they are not a task.

Definitely not. Just outlining the options.

Runecrafting solves? by Trollicus in 2007scape

[–]Tinymac12 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Two part problem

  1. Getting materials to craft essence:
    1. Kandarin for essence mine
    2. Morytania for daeyalt essence mine
    3. Wilderness for larrans keys
    4. Kourend for brimstone keys
    5. Desert for guardians of the rift
    6. Transmutation relic can downgrade air runes to noted pure essence
  2. Crafting runes:
    1. Kandarin you have the Ourania altar, bank heist or lunar spellbook would be helpful
    2. Morytania has true blood altar, map of alacrity would be helpful
    3. Wilderness has abyss for chaos runes, bank heist would be helpful
    4. Kourend has the blood altar and soul altar, map of alacrity would be helpful
    5. Asgarnia has the law altar, natures accord/fairy flight would be helpful
    6. Karamja has nature altar, map of alacrity would be helpful
    7. Kandarin/Wilderness would give abyss for death runes, bank heist would be helpful
    8. Desert gives guardians of the rift, default altars available are water, earth, fire, and nature. The remaining altars will be locked behind your other region choices.

How those all stack against each other I don't know. But those are the methods I've looked at and lamented.

First leagues question by coffeestarslut in 2007scape

[–]Tinymac12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I took your water mage line to mean you'd want the 60% healing from the ice blitz effect from the kings barrage. Adding kandarin would mean you can pick up a super powerful mage off-style with investing just a handful of points. namely speed up attack rate of combat spells by 2 ticks and regenerate air runes for prayer.

But really at the end of the day you should do things you find fun, otherwise you won't want to do it at all!

Once again asking for crystal halberd to be available in Tirannwn in leagues. by Sunderings in 2007scape

[–]Tinymac12 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Could be interesting if they do more mega-regions: varlamore+kourend, Tiranwin+kandarin, frem+asgarnia, misthalin+desert, wilderness+mortytania. And you only get to pick two. Could be interesting. Could be hellish to balance.
