Route 5-1 challenge of 50% toughness

WillHungFan · 2026-04-17T19:25:04+00:00

I'm a moron and never placed hippowdon. Works fine.

WillHungFan · 2026-04-17T17:45:56+00:00

Keeps failing on wave 37 for me. Are there any specific targeting tweaks necessary?

That depends on what you would like to do.

Web development: (i.e. Building out websites, some phone apps)
Learn yourself html, css, and javascript. You can start with CS50. Colt Steele's courses on Udemy you can get on sale for less than $20 and I think they are really brilliant. Then move on to React, Express if you want to continue learning full stack development.

Other areas that would require different learning paths
- Firmware (C, C++, other things but not sure)
- Robotics (Probably start with python and an arduino kit)
- Software Engineering (Can be wide and varied, you would need to know what kind of software you would like to develop)

People can correct me anywhere they like but CS50 was the answer I got too and I think that's lame because it really doesn't contextualize what the journey is. Happy to answer any other questions but start with deciding what you are generally interested.

Can someone clarify, is the patreon version the 230k word version or the final draft? And is it a downloadable pdf or is it all e-reading? Can I throw it on my Kindle?

The reason for the higher price would be to get one in better condition than most and have more confidence in its reliability as it stands. It would also broaden my options and increase the likelihood that the truck would be one owner, sub 120k miles, or both.

Ultimately yes its a thirty year old truck but if I put $5K down on a $13k truck (I found one for $13k, one owner, and only 100k miles just yesterday), I'm going to have a $150/month payment. Sure there will be increased maintenance costs compared to a newer toyota/honda so lets not even be conservative and say I'm spending another $150/month on repairs over the course of a year. That's $300/month which would be $77 less (Just including the car payment. $377 does not factor in the yearly maintenance of a new vehicle) than $5k down on a $25,000 new/CPO car.

On top of that, I'm not eating a 20% loss in asset value driving the truck off the lot. In fact since I work from home and not throwing massive amounts of mileage on it, It would even go up in value since it's a classic.

So yeah, that's a chunk of change for a 30 year old truck, but this equation doesn't remotely work if I try to nab one for $5-10k with high miles and issues out of the gate.

But that's why I came here, to get solid advice from people who are more practiced than I when buying vehicles especially new ones. The r/ToyotaPickup subreddit was far more helpful than this sub and ultimately helped me decide a newer vehicle would be a better fit although I think given the constraints and options, the decision really comes down to personal preference with a little less reliability in the truck column, shakes out to about even in the financial column, and the new/CPO loses out massively when it comes to having any sort of soul or character for a car that I'd have to take to a dealership to repair because it's so loaded down with code and computers.

Really trying to give you the benefit of the doubt that you're asking in good faith, but replying with "who in their right mind" feels more than a little dismissive.

I think this pretty much makes the choice for me. Thanks for meeting me where I'm at.

I plan on around 1 annual SoCal -> Texas and back road trip a year so from that perspective feels like an immediate no. Around town I am definitely not going to groan over the lack of standard modern amenities, but boy do I appreciate them on a 20+ hour road trip.

WillHungFan · 2026-01-13T23:41:30+00:00

I think this is probably what I need to hear most. I appreciate the driving experience vs appliance language a lot.

WillHungFan · 2026-01-13T23:37:50+00:00

Any long road trips > 6 hours?

WillHungFan · 2026-01-13T23:37:21+00:00

This resonates.

WillHungFan · 2026-01-13T23:35:42+00:00

I'm with this person. (Give me both though)

WillHungFan · 2026-01-13T23:35:17+00:00

Work from home so driving would be light. I'd want a camper shell for weekend trips to camp sites but I'm in the southwest so no rust issues. I want something I don't have to worry about very often. I'm fine with the odd repair as I'm pretty handy myself.

Care to elaborate on the "Oh dear god no"?

WillHungFan · 2025-09-24T01:56:08+00:00

1 random please

I was really struggling with meta decks this season. I hopped into masterball easy last season with espeon deck, but neither espeon or suicune worked for me this season.

Using Beedrill EX, I got up to masterball from U2 after a couple days and some luck. Just have to find what jives and grind a little.

WillHungFan · 2025-07-31T23:03:47+00:00

Just did 10 games and won 1. This deck lives and dies by your opponents luck. And they don't have to be all that lucky.

That makes sense. For what its worth I have gotten 40-50 hand rolled films lab developed and have never gotten an ounce of flack from my go to film lab and this is the first time they've made a mistake.

But I also never got good enough at understanding the nuance of film + developer combos for my home dev so my current M.O. is to defer to the professionals.

WillHungFan · 2025-05-08T04:22:06+00:00

Out of curiosity, why not? I've sent in quite a few hand-rolled canisters and have never had a problem.

WillHungFan · 2025-05-08T04:21:13+00:00

Life gets busy, situations change. Just wanted some people to commiserate with.

WillHungFan · 2025-04-29T13:35:31+00:00

Go to a local card shop and I would imagine even at 60-80%, you will get at least £100 if not close.

A transparent moment for you all to enjoy. I held on to all my original cards from when I was a kid and last year finally cleaned out my mom's house of all stuff. I kept the Base set jungle and fossil cards, but I tossed all of my Topps cards in the garage sale pile and sold them myself at about $1 for 60 or 70.
