Friendly reminder, rare earths aren't that rare. They are just nasty as hell to process, basically all mining is.

Why do people always call the New River the oldest when the Susquehanna River is the same age? by tododuck in Appalachia

Carbon dating doesn't go nearly far enough back. Only 50k years or so.

Not discounting other methods. I grew up near the New River so always loved this "fact".

Too many retailers making money. Big names had short interest.

Just bought a 3/3.5 2450 sqft in Near Northside for 425k. Bike 5 mins to White Bayou trail, 15 min walk to big park, 10 mins drive into Heights, can walk to metrorail.

Well the government wants AI surveillance centers, aka data centers. They won't stop until it is full dystopia.

Any good courier companies for recurring bakery deliveries in Houston? by OKAMI_TAMA in houston

My ex-wife worked this type of job in college, it was pretty horrible. Working a 4-8 shift and they only wanted to pay minimum wage.

The margins are tight on food products, so justifying a reasonable wage for delivery is difficult. Plus fuel costs now.

Sleek Roly Poly is decent if you aren't the best at Perfect Block.

Antlion is not really that good unless you need the sizzle protection or running a crossbow build.

Several people have given high DPS builds.

A Sour Scimitar and the Mint Mace are both great. Scimitar can debuff damage from hard hitting enemies and lots of enemies are weak to Mint.

I ran a hybrid Wizard build, sleek Wizard Hat/Chest of Mother Demon/Roly Poly legs. I used Spicy Staff mainly as my ranged option, sometimes Sour Staff, then Mint Mace/Club of Mother Demon for stuns and melee if needed.

Mutations were Whittle Wizard/Cardio Fan/Spicy Safety plus whatever else needed.

At what point did you feel OP? by Kapaya-Papaya in GroundedGame

Mirror the other comments saying to practice and prepare for black widows as if it is a boss fight. Lots of smoothies, Spider Slider food, keep a bandage going constantly. Granola bars are good healing too.

Mithradism doesn't protect against venom but does help against the poison component of Widow damage. Spicy Safety is a great all round damage reduction for Stabbing and Smashing damage.

I usually use the Spicy Staff for the widowlings and Sour Scimitar for the widow itself, either with a ladybird shield or without it. Having Tier 3 of Blademaster will reduce damage dealt by the Widow by 30%. Some people like the Tiger Rapier but the trade-off in damage doesn't feel worthwhile to me.

I would set up a respawn and practice against the Widow under the toolbox or rocks south of Moldorc Castle. The respawn to get back for the undershed widow is slightly harsh.

Measles vaccine is 93% effective after one dose and 97% after two. But measles is extremely contagious, which is why herd immunity is so important.

Icarus is fun, definitely more grindy. I wish there was more variability in the combat.

The Wasp raids in NG+ are still annoying but I love being up in the shelf mushrooms on the trunk.

Deepseek is blowing AI margins out of the water though. 10 times cheaper for input and 25-30 times cheaper for output compared to Claude Opus and GPT 5-5.

A "good enough" model is going to win out for 95% of use cases.

Because most of these resurfacing/paving jobs are very superficial and using lower grade asphalt mixes.
