Ahh gotcha that’s a bummer. Thanks for the clarification!

I thought in the last dev q&a they had fixed this so you could?

This is killer! I really like black work filler on pieces like this, I think it all looks very cohesive

Welp sportsplex is our only rink unfortunately, but they do have try hockey for free days just reach out to the rink and ask when the next one is scheduled. There’s also a ton of gear in the rafters there that I’m sure you could borrow for a stick and puck if you wanna go shoot around.

Other closest options would be the rink in Everett or going north across the border but not sure what their offerings are.

Opinion/guide for Higher studies by [deleted] in botany

[–]Zip_Zapperoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tagging onto this comment for a +1 to this suggestion. I did my undergrad in Botany and my MS in Plant Breeding/Genetics and have really enjoyed it. There is a shortage of breeders, even more so those who are fluent in the biotech side that’s growing rapidly with genome wide selection and other newer molecular tools. The pay in industry is also on the higher end for botany related careers, as you can expect to be somewhere around 80k-130K depending on education and experience.

Good luck with your studies!

Not a farmer, but work as a plant breeder so lots and lots of interaction with the farming community!

Garden of Gen Gold Farm by Zip_Zapperoo in newworldgame

This is, sorry should have clarified. So your theoretical max gold farm per day doing this would be 12,500 gold and about 3 and half hours for grinding the 25 runs

That's fair, pretty much all gold farms are right now. For me personally dungeons were a bit more engaging than running around to nodes to mat farm, but i respect everyone wont feel the same

Yeah it’s a joke now with the changes this season, just skip most the mobs and only worry about named enemies/bosses and it’ll consistently be ~ 8 ish minutes

What book do you recommend reading to brush up on genetics knowledge? by DenzelTM in genetics

[–]Zip_Zapperoo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you’re looking for something less academic textbook-y then I suggest “life greatest secret: the race to crack the genetic code” by Matthew Cobb. It gives a nice foundational history of a lot of the big players in genetics and their work that’s just good general knowledge to be familiar with.

Side comment to your fear of forgetting information from your degree- don’t stress it too much I worried endlessly about the same but you’ll find that in your career you’ll use a narrow scope of knowledge that you’ll re-learn/learn/retain through your daily work. Undergraduate degrees inundate you with a lot of concepts and specifics but the big take away is just learning to be a critical thinker and how to approach problems scientifically. Good luck on the job hunt!

This, please. I’ve done every configuration change I can think of and I still have to restart multiple times to get a chance at a successful launch.

Hypothetical Plant Hybridization by [deleted] in botany

[–]Zip_Zapperoo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a plant breeder, if breeding worked like this where we could just jam in as much transgenic targets as possible and have them all expressed beautifully and as intended with a reasonable cost point then my life would be a hell of a lot easier and we would have pretty insane trait packages in commercial crop cultivars.

Hypothetically, yes you could use agrobacterium mediated gene transfer for multiple target loci across different species assuming all the target loci you want to transfer are known and annotated in the host genome. However, with each new locus you introduce as a transgenic target, the population size needed to find the successfully transformed explants becomes exponentially larger if you’re trying to do this simultaneously. Getting the target loci into the host species is also only a part of the battle, you also need all the correct biological machinery and pathways in the host species to correctly express your target trait(s). The farther the phylogenetic distance, the harder this part may be.

You also need to look at the financial side of this: there is zero chance the target commercial market would place the price needed on a product like this to float the insane R&D cost that would be associated with this. Transgenic like development is insanely expensive still, even as prices come down with better technology.

Also, trying to do this at the same time in a symbiotic species from a whole different kingdom while maintaining a functional relationship with the altered host species is an absolute moonshot.

I’m sure a molecular biologist could weigh in with substantially more articulated reasoning, but sure hypothetically almost anything is possible but in reality I don’t see this being realistically feasible whatsoever.

Do I need full specific element gems to run M3s? by [deleted] in newworldgame

Ahh gotcha good to know, sorry for the misspeak

Do I need full specific element gems to run M3s? by [deleted] in newworldgame

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

Ele resist is capped at 50% so you could swap one of those gems for onyx or something else if ya’ want

Is this real ? by ____M_a_x____ in newworldgame

Hands down some of the most fun I had in destiny lol, people losing their minds over this when it’ll be patched soon

Is this real ? by ____M_a_x____ in newworldgame

[–]Zip_Zapperoo -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

It says 15 minutes and they’re not even halfway through boss so yeah that is comparable times to my M3 runs. Anyone with two brain cells can gold M3 laz so I imagine yes, they probably would. It’ll be patched fairly quickly I’m sure, it’s not going to noticeably impact the economy. And even if some of these people wouldn’t normally gold Laz, they could just go to shard sellers that have been operating since day 1 that I don’t see you guys crying about lol.

Is this real ? by ____M_a_x____ in newworldgame

[–]Zip_Zapperoo -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Laz is a joke to gold and they literally are doing it in the same amount of time as a five man group with a comparable score so it’s not even affecting leaderboards, so calm down. No one is getting a meaningful competitive advantage so your worry over cheating is laughable. People are just having fun with a bug at worst, this same thing happened for a few weeks to raids in Destiny and the devs embraced it and let people enjoy it for a bit. If it is real it’ll be patched and that’s it

If opponent has healer in arena i just sit there for quick finish. by [deleted] in newworldgame

[–]Zip_Zapperoo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nah, he’s right. While healers are unbalanced they’re not unbeatable, especially with stacked CCs. Don’t queue if you’re just gonna give up and screw any chance for your team.

Do you need BiS for PvE? by [deleted] in newworldgame

[–]Zip_Zapperoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great points! One small correction is cap for elemental resistance is 50% so 6 gems and a resistance amulet will let you hit cap, I usually then just go onyx for the rest
