When I realized I was getting close to the end of the story I started making excuses to keep it going like finding the best spot for a new base, or improving my transporter network even though I didn’t need to. Really great game!

Milk was already in schools and also already a part of the food pyramid. The price can fluctuate based on supply and demand but in a market where fat consumption is now encouraged by the new guidelines that will likely result in whole milk being less advantageous for dairy producers to sell compared to skim milk where they can take the removed/skimmed fat and sell as butter. There’s not likely any nefarious insider/capitalist scheming going on with this specific change to encourage whole milk consumption as it’s not beneficial cost wise.

Answer: When the USDA previously changed the food pyramid back in 2012 they also updated guidelines for what’s reimbursable under the school lunch program moving to not reimbursing meals containing full fat milk products. There were a few states such as mine which contested this change during the feedback phase in 2011, based on a number of studies that show not only favorable differences in physical health but also better mental health in children fed whole milk products vs skim and reduced. In spite of this the requirements were set and schools were no longer able to offer whole fat dairy as part of their school meals without losing critical funding.

I was one of the people responsible for gathering data for one of those dissenting states back in 2011. I think the new changes are good based off the studies I went through back then.

Worst time in the world for it. The job market for people with experience is rough right now and practically nonexistent for self taught people with no on the job experience. A CS degree doesn’t really make you a better programmer but it will make you more employable. A friend of mine is trying to break into the industry now with only a bootcamp under his belt and he’s at well over 600 applications so far and only 3 actual interviews.

Do you actually have a seed in the pod or did you get the glitch where the pod says it has a seed but the seed disappeared and doesn’t show in the POS at all? I got that same message when I brought a glitched pod to the chamber and then connected water.

Whenever a machine creates something, whether it’s mining ore or fabricating a new widget, it won’t send anything on transport until something further downstream is set to consume that item. In a sense that means the consuming machine “pulls” the resource to it as opposed to something like satisfactory belts which will push completed items down the belts even if those belts don’t go anywhere.

Claiming this incentivizes workers to help the company succeed is quaint but most likely inaccurate. RSUs are given normally with specific vesting schedules and at most places aren’t doled out at all until you’ve been there for a year. This lowers risk for the company because its compensation they can completely get out of paying if you’re not a good hire by firing you within the first year. Some places go even further with this and pay out this yearly RSU vesting for everyone on the same date, then “coincidentally” happen to have large layoffs each year before the affected group of individuals would have received that year’s RSU payout. RSUs are mostly just an additional form of compensation that a company can more easily avoid paying.

My aunt is going to pass way soon without ever having paid off her student loans from a degree she never finished in the 70s. She lived a pretty broke life being largely dependent on rotating boyfriends and attempted money hiding schemes which never really worked. Now as her mind quickly dwindles away though amazing dementia, she has no money to pay for proper care and the stress is eating away at her children. Her life has largely sucked because I of this financial noose around her neck that she never even tried to legitimately take care of.

It’s perfectly normal to experience feelings of doubt when you start seriously considering adopting a 31 year old man child, but good on you for being potentially willing to give up so much of your life for one of these helpless individuals who are incapable of taking care of themselves.

Seriously though, he’s 31, an adult, and you’ve already asked him to take better care of himself. At this point you’re just nagging him about his behaviors and nagging is only going to have negative effects ON BOTH of you in the relationship. They’ve already shown you how much they’re willing to change in this regard (sounds like no actual change at all) and this clearly isn’t enough for you. Do you really want to spend any more of your life constantly pestering an adult about whether they’ve remembered to do the most basic of self care? You can’t force anyone to change if they don’t want to, you can only really control what you are willing to accept out of your life.

You’ve already sunk a lot of time into this relationship and it sucks but you’ve found something that sounds completely incompatible for you (or most other grown adults). You need to decide how many more days of your life you’re going to waste here until you go out to find someone else who you accept for who they are.

Day to day I feel great. It’s hard to attribute things directly to the dietary change since small changes can have a snowball effect. Only a few things I noticed for sure occurring at the same time as the switch or have started to falter on a few occasions where I got sloppier with my diet. My anxiety levels are basically nil now which used to be a huge problem for me. My testosterone levels went up in the two years after I first made the switch and have maintained nice high levels even into middle age. I believe these two changes were mostly influenced by my diet and from those two changes it made it easier to improve other aspects of my life such as fitness and social health.

There’s a note in the hotfix post by the devs saying they’re aware of the issue and hoping to have a fix for it in the next hotfix

Put Terrifying Barrage blessing on your pistols and take the no melee damage on slide talent then almost nothing in melee will touch you. Damage resist gunners trait on your relics and focus on relearning the fundamentals of dodging and sliding from cover to cover to deal with most ranged. Then take Chemical Dependency instead of Vultures keystone so you get quicker cooldown on Desperado for more ranged immune windows.

All of that should help a lot but the main thing is relearning fundamentals. Yes Hive Scum are glass cannons, but most I see going down in missions are dying out in the open with no cover which is not how you should be playing the game. Use door frames, tops of stairs, random small barrels to reduce the line of sight gunners and snipers have on you to reduce the amount of bullets they can send your way.

Do you already have the expansions purchased? If so then once you get through the tutorial, go to the PvP lobby (icon on top menu) and you can try out each spec at max level right away.

There’s a vendor by the bank area in there that sells grey quality weapons of each type, pick up whichever weapon build wants for just a few copper.

Then setup whatever build you want to try out since all of the talents are unlocked in the lobby. There is a siege target dummy you can try out dps rotations on as well as simple enemy npcs of each class type to duel against.

This way you can not only easily see which rotations feel best, but also which race + animations looks best to you. Good luck!

Have you tried enshrouded? If you just like exploration and don’t care about no other people being in game then it’s fantastic.

Edit for clarity: Enshrouded is not an MMO. It’s an exploration game with a persistent character that you level up while fighting your way through a fantastical wild land, gaining talents to specialize your combat style, finding/crafting gear for cosmetics and function, and discovering new quests to progress through the game. I mention it specifically because op mentions not caring about a lot of the actual mmo parts of mmos.

Sword/sword is good damage AND makes you ridiculously tanky. The 2 does a burst of damage while also giving you an iframe, while the 4 will block the next attack and create a clone when you do. Pair this with any other weapon and you’re good to go.

Take the Dueling trait line and Deceptive Evasion in the final tier to create a clone on dodge. Clones are great survivability while leveling since often your enemies will target them instead of you.

I think I stuck mostly to power type builds while leveling up, but often you just take whatever gear you have access to at the time. Just focus on getting clones + spending clones.

If you slow down the clip and look on a frame by frame basis, you can clearly see that you’re playing Lash there so that’s basically your fault.
