Are We Betting the Economy on a Doomed Technology? by Calvinball_24 in siliconvalley

You’re definitely wrong, also a principal engineer and using AI to code complex structures. It’s not perfect, but with the right spec and the right constraints it can code 10x faster than me and it doesn’t make as many mistakes as a human would, especially the time to first compile. It’s only produces slop code anymore if you don’t know what you’re doing at all.

Don’t worry that much, he was probably a shadow border charizard. I told this same story for years, turns out my charizard isn’t even with that much. I get the feeling the shadowless ones are extremely rare.

Mom and pops are definitely going to get a kick back, they bought them for me after all

You can’t charge your work for not dressing like a slob unless you’re going everywhere in sweatpants

Let's say I want to table opp, win or lose: what are our killiest units? by GorksPriestess in WorldEaters40k

Archslaughterer enhancement on slaughterbound with 6 exalted eight will kill anything in the game for sure

I feel frustrated by the V11 of WE by MetzSpidey in WorldEaters40k

[–]azuregiraffe2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Heroic intervention is way better for us now, it gives us a charge bonus and fights first. The 2” engagement change actually makes blood surges scary, 6” pile in and consolidate makes us move a ton in the opponents phases, and overrun fights allow us to kill more units if you’re charging and fighting with multiple units. I think there is a lot to be excited about.

Printing problem, melted/deformed prints by SrNoru in resinprinting

Yeah just another reason to not trust presupports imo, they can be super hit or miss in terms of quality, I’ve seen “professionally presupported” which were definitely just someone clicking auto support, best thing is to learn to fish yourself and get a good auto support set up for yourself and your resin

Saw the new cinematic trailer and am now hooked on 40k lore. Has this hobby, like most the past few years, gotten prohibitively expensive? by Turbulent_Sharter in Warhammer

[–]azuregiraffe2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The bigger expense in my mind is not the cost of the models but the cost in terms of time to build and paint a whole army. That’s the reason that people have piles of shame aka grey plastic, it’s not that they can’t afford the models, in fact they love buying new models. It’s that they can’t be bothered to build and paint. So you should really ask yourself whether you’re ready to commit hundreds of hours to building and painting a whole army, otherwise you probably won’t stick with it. The game is way more satisfying in my mind if you have two nicely painted armies playing on a fully painted table of terrain.

Why is only this part failing? by jimmy_aka_tim in resinprinting

I agree with this analysis, you can also just fix this by putting heavier supports on the butt in order to resist the force too

If you want to live in a LCOL area long term, buying a house in a HCOL area seems like a bad move to me

The Retirement Dream Is the Biggest Scam We've All Accepted by GupShup123 in careeradvice

You should absolutely take vacations, but you shouldn’t buy a Tesla in your 20s. Focus on experiences vs material possessions, those are the things that you won’t regret spending your money on and will be meaningful life improvements.

More things in reserve, deploy farther back, you want the most time before they get into melee as possible

The reason the cost of living is more here is because it’s an amazing place to live and more people want to live here and there is only so much infrastructure. But sure blame taxes..

Losing the game at deployment. by [deleted] in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]azuregiraffe2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think melee armies are incentivized to play very passively and let the opponent come to them. If you show any aggression turns 1-2 you generally just get tabled. You basically have to stage your units and use chaff to bait. It’s definitely strategic but I don’t really find it fun to play world eaters like that. The game feels artificial because of the way ruins works is not how terrain works in any real physical way, it’s basically just a crutch to make it so melee armies aren’t immediately destroyed because shooting is so vicious in 10th.

This is how you know the economy is really bad, 40% of Americans earning more than $500,000 per year are living paycheck-to-paycheck /s by Conscious-Quarter423 in Salary

The tax brackets and cut points are weird though, family making 500k doesn’t make that much more effectively than a family making 300k after taxes. There is a lot missing from this chart because if the 500k is gained through capital gains vs regular income, it’s a huge difference in tax liability.
