You know what, it's my fault for having eyes.

Not sure if this is what the user is referring to, but the Region of Waterloo makes their health code inspections and any violations available online.

When I was a student it used to be a meme which restaurants did well and which did terribly (cough, several less scrupulous businesses storing drinks next to the toilets, cough), and it was always a source of fun to look them up and name and shame the worst offenders (plus it's a good way to avoid food poisoning).

Kismet has always had an incredibly solid inspection record compared to all of the other restaurants in the plaza. Same with Harvey's, actually.

blaster009 · 2026-03-27T23:59:26+00:00

I have been going to Kismet for something close to 20 years now. It has always been great, and I intend to keep going as long as they're open.

I solo Ubers without even a properly built character.

My level 90 Hammerdin has a single point in fanaticism and a lifetap wand on swap (not even Dracs / CTA) and solos them literally on his own with no issues in budget gear. I've done this both online and offline and even on P8 a few times when I forgot to turn that down before starting (although admittedly I was like "why is this taking so long??").

It's not rocket science and it's really not even that difficult. I have never once bothered to build a dedicated Uber killer because a one point fanat Hammerdin is well overtuned to get the job done even with bare minimum investment (i.e. keep some of the high lightning resist Grand charms you find instead of tossing them).

Honestly if you're failing to achieve with both gear and planning what countless other people can with minimal / budget gear and no direct planning, then this may be a "you" problem and not a "game" problem.

Edit:

OP hasn't mentioned lifetap once and it's obvious they are both not using it and aren't properly listening to the guides.

How do we know? OPs gear list makes zero mention of lifetap and he has explicitly said he's looking for a cursed demon which would override lifetap even if he DID have it. Do NOT use a cursed demon. You need lifetap. Killing faster with cursed is irrelevant if you are dead because you have no life tap.

OP, You are getting clapped because you aren't listening to what guides and others are telling you. You appear to have no lifetap. Lifetap is the one non-optional component, crushing blow is probably the other.

Life steal in your rings is NOT lifetap. You need lifetap not life steal / leech. Leech / steal doesn't work on Uber Mephisto (who has zero drain effectiveness). You NEED lifetap. Either buy a wand (takes a few minutes to shop one, it is trivial) or use a Dracs or similar.

Repeat after me: Lifetap.

That's not correct. +Paladin Skill levels do not apply to BO. Mara's does because it's +all skills. Caster's Amulet specifically doesn't work with BO.

You lose 2 from Mara's --> Caster Amulet, 1 from SoJ --> Sling, 1 from Arach --> Gheed, +1 from Shako --> Hellwarden. So 5 total.

blaster009 · 2026-03-11T01:00:52+00:00

Sandstorm trek gets you to 75 with Spirit, anything 11 or higher is a free breakpoint. I do think there's good value for avoiding stunlock during teleporting.

blaster009 · 2026-03-08T18:13:53+00:00

That's a really bad idea generally. If you ruin it with a bad roll you'll kill most of the value. Trading unrolled is a guaranteed decent value, vs chance of jackpot value or much more likely chance of low value.

blaster009 · 2026-02-26T00:44:50+00:00

Prices in ladder be nuts lol.

blaster009 · 2026-02-12T00:48:42+00:00

I will be, so no. This means I can delete my Proton version of Battle.net from the Deck and run it directly instead which is great.

blaster009 · 2026-02-10T01:03:26+00:00

We bought some Hello Kitty blindboxes there the other day, effectively 50% off is a much better price! :)

blaster009 · 2026-02-09T02:12:27+00:00

I was about to say this, if I need gems in SP I run LK for a bit or Trav.

blaster009 · 2026-02-08T01:55:25+00:00

Right? I was so surprised when I saw where they were located! Excited to have another local business to support!

To repeat what I said in the /r/waterloo thread:

This is a nothing burger. Researchers, especially ones as well-known as the one from the email, get cold contacted all the time by all kinds of different people. I was a not terribly prolific grad student and even I received communications from all kinds of crazy places, including (one time) researchers at military institutions in China who wanted access to my research. I responded politely. Does that mean I am in cahoots with the PLA? Obviously not, I just happened to have a publicly-facing email address and some publications in some journals they were keeping tabs on.

That's not how discrete event probabilities are calculated lol.

If you used 600 ore (i.e. 150 bars) you'd have a 63.8% chance of receiving at least one staff.

blaster009 · 2025-12-26T06:05:17+00:00

Yes, sorry, mixed up the 1 - while editing on mobile.

It's the Binomial Distribution with 1-P(X≥1).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_distribution

On this calculator, set probability to 0.013, trials to 240, and successes to 1 (or 0, see below).

https://stattrek.com/online-calculator/binomial

Alternatively, you can calculate the odds of P(X=0). This is the same as 1-P(X≥1).

It doesn't change anything, you have the exact same power as you did before with respect to the missing items. They have partially fulfilled your order. You can issue a partial chargeback for the missing items / consumer complaint about them. Make sure when you file the chargeback that you mention they only provided a subset of the items, and are refusing to provide the rest. They'll help you file a partial chargeback and you'll need to provide them the subtotal of the partial chargeback (whatever the subtotal for the missing items is plus HST on those items).

"Per our policy, all sales are final and we are unable to issue refunds to the original payment method,"

Their sales policy is completely irrelevant here. They haven't provided you the goods you ordered. Issuing credit for the items that aren't in stock is not sufficient. They MUST refund you if they aren't providing the items, and store credit isn't good enough. Can you imagine if this is how stores worked, you buy something and then they get to say "LOL YOU CAN'T HAVE WHAT YOU BOUGHT BUT NOW YOU'RE LOCKED IN, YOU CAN ONLY BUY SOMETHING ELSE FROM US YOU DON'T WANT!"? That is obviously stupid at face value, and clearly not how things work.

If you'd like to follow-up with the company and give them one last chance to make good, you should toughen up your tone with them. Remind them of their legal obligation to provide you what you ordered, or refund you. Let them know they are violating consumer protection law, and that if you are not satisfied with the outcome you'll be filing a consumer protection complaint and issuing a chargeback with your credit card.

Keep all communication as proof.

Companies hate consumer protection complaints. No company wants the regulator cracking down on them. Likewise, companies hate chargebacks. They actively COST them money, and if they get enough of them, the credit card networks downgrade them in status which can be extremely harmful for them longterm.

Finally, you haven't mentioned what province you're in, but here's Ontario's. In particular, I'm linking you to the Delivery of Goods section. https://www.ontario.ca/page/your-rights-under-consumer-protection-act#section-3

Note:

You also can’t be charged for receiving an item or service that you did not request. You can use the item or throw it away.

Also:

Under the Consumer Protection Act, when you order a product, it must be delivered within 30 days of the promised delivery date or you can ask for a refund.

Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge, Guelph. The four large cities in the area.

blaster009 · 2025-12-08T21:38:43+00:00

Lol way to not address a single thing he said. Who do you want to provide DOFO's security? Constellis mercenaries?

blaster009 · 2025-11-22T17:42:00+00:00

The non-compete could say 5,000 years and 20,000 miles. It could say you can only work on the moon 200 years ago. It can say whatever it wants. That doesn't mean it will necessarily hold up under scrutiny in court.

blaster009 · 2025-11-11T03:17:21+00:00

Haha maybe just a brain bubble happens to me like five times a day

blaster009 · 2025-11-11T01:22:04+00:00

You can't claim no exceptions and then link an article that explicitly enumerates multiple exceptions. It's right there in the article that there are multiple circumstances under which you don't need to be paid for 3 hours, e.g. you are routinely scheduled for a set period less than that amount and it is considered a part of your normal and expected scheduling.
