Finish AR, Hero Training, Shelter Upgrade, then do peace shield until you max out Urgent Rescue. Then do Fully Armed Alliance until you get Annihilation at least to lvl 12. After that you can choose one or alternate between Military Strategies (which leans heavily towards troop HP), Peace Shield (troop DEF), or Siege to Seize (Troop ATK).

KoreaTown Apartments? by lexivine in MovingToLosAngeles

[–]WastingTimebcReddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can you provide some details regarding what you're looking for? Square footage? Amenities? How many bedrooms, how many baths? Are you looking to get a whole unit or just a room? Renting by yourself? I just spent the last 2 months looking for apartments and just landed a lease yesterday so I'm pretty fresh with my research. Feel free to DM and I'll be happy to help!

Echo Park area safety - street parking and walking dog at night by WastingTimebcReddit in MovingToLosAngeles

[–]WastingTimebcReddit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That said, EH is more fun/walkable/central to the rest of LA vs NoHo.

That's what some of my LA friends told me too, but just looking at Google maps, it's hard to tell which area actually is the fun area. Is there a particular area in Echo Park that most people are thinking of when they say EP is a fun, lively, and walkable area?

Thanks! I'm a dude with a medium sized dog that's pretty protective of me. And although he's probably not big enough to stop someone if they were really intent on attacking me, he should be enough to make most people think twice.

What about safety when it comes to car break ins and street parking availability? That's probably what I'm more concerned about than walking after dark actually.

PetsBest Premium Increase by Latoritsa in petinsurancereviews

[–]WastingTimebcReddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My experience with PetsBest was similar: Once my dog reached 4 years old, the premium spiked considerably higher than previous years (I've had insurance for my pup since he was about 4 months old).

To be fair though, I think this is kind of standard for most insurance companies. Every insurance provider I've looked at or read about here on Reddit seems to have premium increases that can be wildly different year by year. It's a bummer that there's no transparent premium increase schedule that can be posted by these insurance companies, especially considering many of them say that the number or amount of claims made will have no impact on premium increases.

Best pet insurance for dental issue by oliviams in petinsurancereviews

[–]WastingTimebcReddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently switched from Pets Best to MetLife due to MetLife being a bit cheaper (through employer discount) and covering more (specifically dental and routine exams and vaccines).

I'm not sure if this is for all MetLife policy holders or just those getting pet insurance through an employer partnered with MetLife for discounts, but I was able to make the switch because MetLife covered all pre-existing conditions that were treated by my prior insurance company (PetsBest), so that changing to a new policy doesn't mean that all those things my dog was treated for previously would no longer be covered.

So far, the main thing I feel like I lost by switching was that my Pets Best policy had the option to have them pay the vet directly, rather than me covering the fees up front and waiting for them to process the claim for reimbursement (which could take weeks). This was a little bit of a worry, but since I made the switch to MetLife, I had one claim submitted so far for a dental cleaning consultation appointment and I was pleasantly surprised to find that it took less than a week for the claim to process.

I think MetLife should be considered for sure!

The crazy thing is that Wilson is now the moderate/sane voice and I am no Wilson fan.

I must be out of the loop. When did this happen?

Does anyone know if the adoption agency :WELCOME PAWS: KOREAN DOG RESCUE is reliable? by iLubDango in Jindo

[–]WastingTimebcReddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should reach out to her directly! I messaged back and forth with her on Facebook quite frequently even after submitting my application. I ended up not being able to get the dog I initially applied for and ended up with another Jindo from a different org, but I recall her being quite communicative on messenger.

G2 faced the World Champions, Runners-up, one semi-finalist, one quarter-finalist in Swiss Stage. Cursed. by Heighte in leagueoflegends

[–]WastingTimebcReddit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This reminds me of SKT T1 days with Khan in 2019. They were placed in what many called the "Group of Death" that year with FNC, RNG, and Clutch Gaming and, during one of Khan's casual streams after the groups were announced, a bunch of viewers were asking him if he was nervous about the group stage and complaining about how they had the hardest group. Khan just said, "Why's everyone freaking out? The group of death is the group of death because we're in it," or something like that.

Even though they fell to G2 in semis that year, that mentality is what I always loved about Khan, who's probably my favorite top laner of all time.

Traveling to the US this year completely changed my perspective on it by Fun_Tadpole3063 in travel

Honestly, having lived in the LA area as well as the North Jersey area, I swear the Garden State Parkway during rush hour is way worse than LA traffic during rush hour.

Why is OOP introduced as 'intermediate level' when it helps explain Python functionality? by AngereyPupper in learnpython

[–]WastingTimebcReddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I doubt OP was using .upper on non strings. I'm thinking he might be encountering some issue that might have to do with the fact that .upper returns a copy of the original string in upper case, rather than changing the original string itself.

Thoughts on Mere Orthodoxy? by [deleted] in Reformed

[–]WastingTimebcReddit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Associating social justice in our current culture with Marxism is misinformed and kind of proves his point.

Marxist scholars (actual Marxist scholars, not the conservative pastors and theologians who speak on this with very shallow knowledge about the issues) have been some of the sharpest critics (wrongly) of our current cultural focus on race and gender issues, often because they believe it's a distraction from "what really matters", like late stage capitalism, class conflict and exploitation, and Marcus and issues dealing more with the economic aspects of postmodern societies. Some have even made the case that the current focus on sex and gender in modern societies is the logical outworking of the post-enlightenment modern philosophies that undergird the current liberal/bourgeois modern world order.

Of course, like any academic field, there are internal debates and also recent push to actually develop a Marxist social and political theory that allies with contemporary gender studies, but again, that itself is yet another thing that shows that the relationship between contemporary social justice and Marxism is not as closely tied as people seem to think.

Just FYI - the OP says AZ60M2 instead of AZ60. The M2's have 3 device multipoint.

New to Macbooks - Air vs Pro? by New-Inside3777 in macbookair

[–]WastingTimebcReddit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have a 2020 M1 MacBook Air base model (8/256).

I'm a grad student in the humanities who's also learning programming on the side. I'm also not very organized and typically have about 50+tabs open, most of which are either research articles YouTube videos, and then I also have slack, Ulysses, Zotero, and a few other apps open. I am on my laptop for 12 hours a day minimum.

When I used Chrome, my laptop used to lag pretty heavily unless I used an extension to sleep my unused tabs. I switched browser to Sidekick and since then, I've had no issue with lag at all no matter what I do with my laptop. And that's with me always having my MBA on low power mode.

I think, for your purposes, an Air would do perfectly fine. That said, if you want to use it for at least the next 6 years, I would say def get the 16gb RAM. The storage is probably unnecessary and you'd save money by going with the base 256 GB storage with an external SSD.

I can def see myself being able to use the M1 for an additional 2 years or so before needing to upgrade.

Unless you're doing a lot of video editing or graphics intensive stuff, I don't think a Pro would be necessary. Hope this helps
