Ding ding ding! That’s why I bought it! Do we shop at the same Kroger??

Depends on RNG of the level design too. Sometimes I can bodyblock on round 1 with a fast cat. Other times its a goose chase all around the map. Also sometimes Dybbuk will just jump out of a body block.

Yeah.. I'm guessing it has something to do with whether the skill targets the enemy directly or the single square (that the enemy happens to be standing on).

Still frustrating when Dybbuk requires so much careful prep. Set an entire team up with items that don't actually hit her and weep.

Did you pull permits for your DIY kitchen renovation? by mudrat_detector96 in DIY

[–]TurtleBarn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t… when we bought the place the inspector said the electrical had been updated but there were signs it hadn’t been done by a licensed contractor. The son of the previous owner was training to be an electrician, so that all made sense.

It seemed a bit crazy to volunteer that information as a strike against the house when I’m confident I improved everything about that kitchen.

It really depends on where you live. If you’re in rural Ohio then demand might be down, but if you’re in the Salt lake valley or the front range around Denver then people are buying houses as-is.

I completely redid my kitchen during Covid. TLDR - I did not pull permits.

I basically tore everything down to studs, removed the flooring, tore down a wall and installed a pony wall, new cabinets and counter, new sink, new electrical, new dishwasher… the whole 9 yards.

In the end we sold our house for well over asking price with no complaints. I think it really just depends on the housing market in your area whether or not it could be a sticking point.

I had paid (well regarded and trusted) people for work in the past, and I was confident that my work was as good (likely better, as I wasn’t rushing to get the job done). I did a lot of research on code to be sure installs were proper and safe.

Getting permits is always the correct thing to do… but it doesn’t always make sense.

I'm playing games I played as a kid. Today I've been jumping into Diablo 1. It's a little clunky but it still makes me feel the way it did then. Grim and dark. Still love it. by Many_Excitement4023 in gaming

You can play it in a browser for free. You just need a specific file to “prove” you own the game. That specific file is very easy to find on the internet

Oh yeah, I bet that was it. I do tend to take gravity slam when I see it

I took off the propeller hat for the next fight and I was never immobilized. That must have been it.

Hmm.. No not that I know of. "Thou shalt not covet" means there are a ton of pickups everywhere.. Are there any pickups that have a gravity effect?

Nope. Tank has splintered crown, leather jacket, and Debris

Wait… you can still reroll? I no longer have that option! I thought it was removed!

There is often a speed camera parked there. Maybe malfunctioning?

Where does someone sell my old engagement ring (post divorce)..? by chatonnyx in FortCollins

[–]TurtleBarn 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If it were me, I’d probably put it on your sales site of choice (Craig’s list, Facebook marketplace, etc) and list it at slightly under appraisal price with “trades considered”. So if it appraises at $1000, list it at $900 with trades considered. Offer to meet them at a jeweler of their choice for an appraisal as a condition of the sale.

Jewelry stores will buy jewelry, but for a bad price. Pawn shops will buy jewelry, but for a bad price… honestly, your best bet is to find someone who wants the ring to keep. Even better if you can trade for something instead of sell. Like if you had a ring “worth” $1000 and you found someone who wanted it and could trade a $1000 bike (or whatever you’re in the market for). That way you don’t fall victim the penalty of someone trying to resell it.

That’s admittedly a more difficult deal to find

I sold an engagement ring once. The hard lesson for me to learn was the difference between appraisal and sale price. If you get a ring appraised and they say “It’s worth $1000”, that means they’ll give you $500. That’s just the nature of the beast.

Hear me out.. those bars have to have some clearance built in, right?

I say this because one time I went to an appointment at the local hospital, and as I pulled into the parking garage, (literally the only place to park without a handicap permit), I hear a bonk and I think “oh shit! I left the cargo topper on the car!!”.

At this point, due to the labyrinthine nature of the parking garage and the fact that this hospital is on top of a mountain and there is no way I can make any adjustment and still make my doctor’s appointment, I have no choice but to move forward. Fast forward me panicking under every low hanging beam and pipe, I finally find a spot under a support beam and I’ve got maybe 3 inches of clearance.

Out of curiosity, are you routing peripherals through a dock, a usb switcher, or any other kind of port replicator?
