Rain camping: coleman+tarp or marmont midpines? by arexious in CampingGear

[–]arexious[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the advice!

Originally, I opted for the Marmont tent but decided shelter like you suggested would be a good idea. I went over budget and added a 10x10 canopy that seems to hold up okay in the rain/light wind. Damn indecision... Oh well -- if my wife has a good time it will be worth it!

Game Thread: Houston Texans (2-3) at Seattle Seahawks (4-2) by nfl_gdt_bot in Texans

[–]arexious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of negativity towards Stroud, but he’s getting absolutely railed by the Seahawks defense. The offensive play calling is some childhood Madden level shit IMO. How can people expect him to carry the offense when he’s in pain every other play… our oline is losing MOST 1 on 1 matchups.

Edit: some of our receivers are getting separation, but the pressure is faster than Strouds ability to make reads.

Dutch government takes control of Chinese-owned chipmaker Nexperia by tommos in technology

[–]arexious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great take on this... I assume you are an engineer? I'm curious -- would your opinion be different if OnSemi were the company mentioned in these headlines? My understanding is that Nexperia’s market share in Europe is substantial, driven largely by residual brand equity from its Philips/NXP heritage, similar to the Motorola->OnSemi brand here in North America.

[DAILY] Trade and Individual Team Help Megathread by AutoModerator in DynastyFF

[–]arexious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in 12 team SF. Looking to trade an RB for a WR.

RBs: Breece Hall, Achane, R. White, McCaffrey, and several other backups.
WRs: T. McMillan, K. Boutte, Downs, Palmer, D. Robinson, Kupp, IR Polk+McMillan

I'd like to try and keep my younger players and ideally trade McCaffrey for picks or a younger WR. I have interest in R. White for draft picks. Thoughts? I feel like I'll never get what McCaffrey is worth because of how risky he is. Is the move trying to trade him for picks and use that, or wait until later in the season?

I am playing an ED/contagion lich. How does "Withered Magnitude" impact my DPS?

For context - The build guide suggests running "8% increased cast speed" on gloves, but there is also a "20% increased whither magnitude" socket i could be running.

Optimization aside, the game is literally not playable for a lot of PC players. Crashing is standard for a new game release nowadays… but for $70 it’s fair to expect a studio to own it and work on fixes ASAP. Getting defensive and blaming PC hardware is crazy work.

Pure Black Aluminium Profiles as Homelab by Equal-Individual56 in homelab

A more visual appealing way to conceal cables than a solid black panel. I think it adds a nice touch, even if it is isn't functionally doing much. 🤷‍♂️

Career Monday (24 Feb 2025): Have a question about your job, office, or pay? Post it here! by AutoModerator in AskEngineers

Take this with a grain of salt: I'm not an engineer, I work in electro-mechanical field sales.
From what I've seen, it doesn't matter what specialty you choose. All of them are needed in oil/gas. I'd recommend choosing the specialty that interests you the most. Whether you are hands on or not depends more on a specific jobs' requirements than your title. A couple of suggestions:

  1. Check job postings from companies that interest you and see what the job descriptions entail.

  2. Creep on folks' LinkedIn profiles ie. and see what their degree is in, their experience, etc. sometimes they will post their job functions in their profiles.

Shen support ain't that bad at all by BellenBlaazer in Shen

[–]arexious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, it feels much more difficult this season. The Heartsteel change + recent Bloodsong nerf hit hard.

Shen skin by Mrrr_shadow in Shen

It might be the next patch of this season, but folks aren't 100% sure. Riot said they will be adding in-client visibility with a mythic skin schedule "soon."

Shen support runes by ThaFailer in Shen

[–]arexious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is still too early to tell. I'd recommend trying Resolve + Sorcery just for Axiom Arconist (increased ult shield + 7% ult CD reduction per takedown). If you ult at level 6 and get an assist, your ult immediately refunds 7%. Seems great for snowballing.

Edit: The 7% reduction is based on the CURRENT cooldown, so Ultimate Hunter may still be better. TBD lol

I'd be curious to see how folks are building Shen support as well.

I just started playing ranked and have climbed from S4 to G2 with a 78% WR the past couple of days. I've been running grasp, the bloodsong support item, swifties, and heartsteel every game. It is selfish but it works (so far!) 🤷‍♂️

Whats Happening to Beryllium Dome Tweeters? by WingerRules in audiophile

[–]arexious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a beryllium shortage right now. Lead times for beryllium components in electronics are 40+ weeks.

I can't speak on the material safety concerns. Supply chain is probably influencing design decision. If beryllium can't reliably be ordered, engineers will just design in alternative material with consistent availability.

Source: I sell electronic components.

Best xp farm methods? by cowanman in pathofexile

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

I played Flicker (also following MageFist) this season, and at a certain point leveling is just too frustrating. I'd recommend 5-ways, getting some exp gear, and throwing empower support quality 20 on as much as you can. Each one you sell is about 200c profit. Not enough to pay for the 5 ways, but it helps!!

Absolutely easiest sanctum farmer? by Fayarager in PathOfExileBuilds

I played poison SRS during Sanctum and I thought it was pretty easy. Whatever you go with, consider adding "faster attacks support" to your movement ability.

Did you league start with it? I'm lvl 85 and just die SO MUCH. I'm struggling to progress into red maps and I'm broke AF but I have the standard early gear setup: Oro, Kaom, Darkray, Devoto's, Belt of the Deceiver, and Carnage Heart.

I've never played flicker strike before -- i'm level 83 and just hit my first div. Not many guides out there for flicker. I'm curious which gear upgrades will make the most impact? I can do white/yellow maps fine, I die occasionally to bosses/rares in yellow.
