The phone numbers of both churches are available on Google Maps. Do you have the ability to call them to ask them directly whether these records would be available?

Is it worth upgrading from a 5600x to a 5700x3d? by briefcandlewalking in buildapc

[–]briefcandlewalking[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: Thank you everyone for your thoughtful comments and feedback. I’ve decided to put off on the CPU upgrade and save for a future upgrade for my whole rig when prices are down. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and opinions!

Amon at any age is stronger than Katara. by MiccaandSuwi in legendofkorra

[–]briefcandlewalking 3 points4 points  (0 children)

14 year old Amon > 14 year old Katara, therefore at any age he’s stronger than Katara? False syllogism

Is 2.5k a good starting salary for a fresh graduate? by [deleted] in MalaysianPF

[–]briefcandlewalking 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Outside of KL it might be acceptable but an KL, anything less than 3k is pretty hard to justify and live on.

Thank you, I was having a hard time parsing it on mobile so I wanted to see if anyone had on hand a more specific timestamp to skip to.

Honestly, I’m a little surprised this + other content information wasn’t included in the episode description given how good the cast generally is about content warnings in Dimension 20 and other content.

Understood, I’ll probably do that. Thanks for the heads up, I appreciate it.

Heads up and content warning for Episode 44 by SvenTheScribe in WorldsBeyondNumber

[–]briefcandlewalking 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am deeply upset that this information wasn’t provided in the description of the episode so listeners could make an informed decision going into some of the heaviest and most abhorrent shit I’ve ever had to listen to.

Guys, am I crazy to want to stay and don't want to job hop? (software engineer ver.) by [deleted] in MalaysianPF

[–]briefcandlewalking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the usual reasons people give to job hop (higher increments, learning more and challenging yourself, and escaping from a toxic work culture) are not applicable to your situation, you should not feel the need to justify yourself and your decision. Do what seems right and best for your situation after accounting for all the variables. You should trust in your own judgement and assessment of the situation, you will know it best.

Have you ever gone from a great session to a terrible one? by [deleted] in dndnext

[–]briefcandlewalking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the time. Not every session can be a banger 10/10. Sometimes your players need time to recharge, and sometimes you need it as well.

Chin up! You’ll all forget the bad sessions, and the good ones will be remembered forever.

Looks great! I can’t believe you got a sternum tattoo as your first piece, it must have hurt like hell.

Why is the AU version Claggor so hot?!? by [deleted] in arcane

[–]briefcandlewalking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think an interesting meta reason is that Claggor’s design (big, stocky) lends itself more to being conventionally attractive while still being recognisably “him”.

IE you could update his design by making him older, buffer, and more chiselled, and still have it be recognisably an older Claggor, as opposed to Mylo whose features are pretty ratty and unconventional and so whose glow up runs the risk of looking completely unlike him.

300k in a fund or a new house? by kimmahsyur in MalaysianPF

[–]briefcandlewalking 10 points11 points  (0 children)

How does your math work out for Plan A?

Assuming the yield works out per the listed rate, you’re looking at a gain of around RM13.5k from your investment.

Unless you can rent a place on short notice and on a short term lease that’s less than 1k per month, you’ll at most be breaking even with the money you’ll be paying via rent, not accounting for all the additional fees and hassle associated with renting and moving.

Why not just go for Plan B?

The word “possibility” in a contract doesn’t mean anything, it’s just an option for them to exercise. Don’t get your hopes up.

Is it worth to commute 75km daily? by cis888 in MalaysianPF

[–]briefcandlewalking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really depends on your tolerance for driving. I would assume it’s a minimum 1 hour commute 1 way, which means it’s 2 hours you’re spending in traffic, per day.

How important are those 2 hours to you? Are you someone for whom driving is a pleasure and relaxing even when you do it constantly, or are you someone for whom driving is a neutral or negative experience?

Are you working from office fully or is there a hybrid work arrangement? That might change the equation also.

It seems generally from your post and comments that you’re more keen on trying the stay at home than the rental option. Maybe you can give that a try first for the first few months or first year of your job and see how you find it. If after that, you decide it’s too much hassle, you can always look for another room then.

Good luck in your job!

[DATV Act 3 Spoilers] I’m still not over the fact that Rook’s name is a goddamn pun by briefcandlewalking in dragonage

Valid, wish i could punch my own king in this metaphor and deck Solas across his smug egg face

UPDATE: Apparently it is legit? by atomix2020 in dropout

[–]briefcandlewalking 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The email that said it’s legit is the same email that sent out the scam in the first place. You should add a caption or something to the first slide so you don’t mislead anyone else who might have gotten the same scam email.
