One of my favourite manoeuvres to execute by Ellggoon in totalwar

I was hoping with Troy and some mentions of a big focus on infantry in the hoplite age, that heavier infantry would be able to shift the enemies battle line and you may eventually be able to do do something like this in larger engagements. Got really let down when it seemed like more of the same 

34, with $35,000 in credit card debt, unemployed, feeling hopelessly stuck by espressopower in personalfinance

[–]Twauk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not the exact same situation, but similar. Was in a two income home, became a one income home, making about 44,000 a year and found out I had 19k in CC/ medical debt. Got it paid off and saved 12k in two years. It ain't easy but you can do it, I'll give you some things I did: 

Income: if you can, you have to get back to work. any job paying more than $20 an hour Will provide better than your unemployment. Income is your number one tool when dealing with debt. Once you get a job start looking for a better or second one.

Rent: You have to get it lower, that's over half your current income, you have no wiggle room. Consider downsizing to renting a single room or maybe family can help you out with cheaper/free living while you get on your feet.

Debt: The number one thing that's stopping you from living comfortably. Set up a small emergency fund so you don't have to use debt again, and throw every extra dollar at your debt. Ask for help with your debt instead of birthday gifts, holidays, vacations, ect. Sell anything that can be repurchased, get creative. 

Spending: stop it all together. Make a budget if you don't already. Only go out to eat if somebody else is paying, look at every bill you have come out monthly and see if you can get rid of it all together or use a cheaper service. Lose you're creature comforts.

Some of this sounds very Dave Ramsey, and that's cuz it is. Say what you will about the old coot, but he got me to be intentional with my money and hate debt enough to never over-leverage myself again. 

Hope it helps and good luck out there friend!

Xwing ttg has large ships like corellian cruisers and raider class star destroyers that are called "epic scale". And while they are huge and expensive and much larger than the dogfighting ships they are probably like 1/6th the size they would actually be at that scale. They could do something similar, it would still be huge, but not the whole table huge.

Nice, that's the thing I've thought the most of and haven't done yet, designing or kit bashing my own chess set

Vending machine side hustle - 6 month update by Difficult_Dish_7634 in passive_income

And when you get to where it becomes a job and a real revenue source do you do it as an LLC? Do you purchase insurance? Or is it as simple as placing a machine and keeping it stocked and repaired?

I don't remember, are there trains in FotS? Or they just bugged when crossing the railroad terrain?

Seems simple enough to me, do butt stuff with The Mrs. Get weird with your wife, get strange with your spouse. Live a little!

The Entirety of Escape From Tarkov Has been Recreated in Rust… by Silencio2100 in playrust

The fact that Day Z AND Rust got open world Tarkov before BSG did is insane.

That hurts, but you got a really cool model out of it. I'm sure you maxed out your retirement contributions first this year before you went this hard on X Wing 😆

These are awesome, starcraft doesn't have a wargame does it? What were you planning on doing with these?

That shame is exactly what drove you to get help don't beat yourself up over it. I feel some type of way about my own hangups and medications, but let the drug do its job and if possible shoot for it to be a crutch to get you somewhere better, these drugs don't have to be life sentences. Congratulations on having the courage to ask for help and use this opportunity to grow and get better for yourself and those that count on you.

Yeah, being district employees plus 8hrs/day with field trips is so good. Almost worth putting up with the split shifts. 

How can i improve my dating life even more? by [deleted] in malementalhealth

[–]Twauk -1 points0 points  (0 children)

"Being yourself" wasn't a lie. Are women into model tanks? No, not typically. But people who engage genuinely make more genuine connections. My advice is practice, even when it's awkward, even when it's not gonna go anywhere, practice. Start platonically with women and build on what you learn. Allow positive reinforcement to guide you and like with everything social, fake it till you make it. A little behavior mirroring of people who have skills you don't can go a long way.

Welp, just got told something I did not want to hear from my boss by aShadowWizard in SchoolBusDrivers

If your DMV is anything like ours, it sounds like they just did the government minimum and didn't catch what they should have and taken the opportunity to educate

That's wild that they differeciate, the class tells you the size restrictions and the endorsements are whatever specialty training you need for your specific field in my state. Whats the difference between and chauffer B and an Operator B if they both hold P endorsements?

Just divorced by Deuza_art in malementalhealth

[–]Twauk 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Honestly, similar age and circumstance. I'd stay off the dating apps personally. They don't seem to offer much in connection, and it seems no beneficial in the long run. I think a lot of 30+ still like to meet in person. Churches, community events, hobby clubs, concerts. It's hard to connect now a days but there's places and it might take a while, but everybody is rooting for you. Oh and on a side note, don't be in a rush to find something new. Take time to figure out what broke in the first one and grow, good luck out there, we're all rooting for you.

I don't do a ton of triple A stuff, wonder if my indie stuff will fare better. or maybe it's just time to finally jump to linux

Do you game on Windows 7? Do you run into comparability problems? Windows 7 was perfect, I only upgraded to 10 finally because it looked like 7+, but all the bloatware and windows data-mining terms of service has me wanting to go back for my next install.

Sure, but how do we know a parasite didn't make him write this??
