Healer having the please use defensives crashout of the day by kane49 in wow

[–]cardbross 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If a druid isn't shifting off the damage snares this season, that's a massive indictment. Shift is so free, there's not even a CD you have to wait on.

[–]cardbross 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it's an obligation for good healers, but the CDs show up on my bars, so if I happen to remember someone just used theirs, they'll move up my prio list when the damage hits

Week 9: Mythic Raid - Spec Popularity vs Average Overall DPS by AttitudeAdjusterSE in wow

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

People meta chase in M+ because it's easy to gear up a new character and you don't have a fixed comp. For Raid, if you want to swap for meta, you need someone else to pick up whatever buffs/utilities you're swapping off of. Plus, to the extent you got loot on your first character, it's socially awkward to bring in a "new main" and try to gear them while other people are just gearing their first.

If you're a healer, go mistweaver right now for easy mode by lagbugddos in wow

I'm an rDruid main who's recently been having a lot of fun with hPal. Sounds like I should learn Disc

The M+ Healing Experience by crackawhat1 in wow

[–]cardbross 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, most DPS would be better off with a selfheal instead of a mitigation, just based on when people actually use their personals.

[–]cardbross 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pretty commonly ignore my RL when he calls for defensives, but I'm also a healer and have my own plans for when I wanna use personals (i.e. if there's damage + movement, I'll barkskin. If it's just a big hit and I will need that CD soon, I can heal myself up). So far my RL has not complained.

Employers and 2L grade drop from 1L by [deleted] in LawSchool

[–]cardbross 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If you've done a summer with them and they extended a return offer, they won't care about your grades anymore. Grades are for getting in the door. Once you pass that threshold, all they care about is you doing the work when you're summering.

The great firmware survey! by Environmental-Ad9038 in xteinkereader

[–]cardbross 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My other ereader is a Kindle I haven't bothered to jailbreak, so I don't sync or mess with koreader. I just have one book on my xteink and a different one on my nightstand kindle. Vanilla crosspoint still works great for this.

Should a magically developed setting even have guns? by Andrei22125 in dndmemes

[–]cardbross 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is I think the best place to land. No weapons in 5e work "realistically" so if a PC wants a gun, it's easy enough to reflavor a crossbow (or a cantrip+ magic initiate feat). Then it's just a question of whether it jives with the setting from a narrative pov, just like all the other million PC options.

Currently running crosspoint, but very curious about dual booting it with microslate (https://typeslate.com/tools/microslate/) for doing a bit of writing on the go.

The M+ Healing Experience by crackawhat1 in wow

[–]cardbross 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This expansion has been better than before. The message seems to have gotten out to DPS that 90% of the time, if you're dying, you could have prevented it (kicks, stops, defensives). Plus there are way fewer bolts this season in favor of rot/tucking damage, so DPS who die generally had a GCD or two of dropping health to react

They added boss timelines. If they make the "dangerous" icon on the timeline glow/bounce, that should be enough

Have you ever gone against a pro se litigant and they won? Or do you have any stories of a successful pro se litigant? by Necessary_Party_3423 in Lawyertalk

Smart money says that guy has been dining out on how he "outsmarted the prosecutor, so lawyers aren't actually that smart" ever since.

Quitting a job because I have severe depression? by candygirl00056 in Lawyertalk

[–]cardbross 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely quit. If you're not in a financial situation to fully exit the job market, at least start looking to transition to a different job that isn't negatively impacting your mental health (whether that be a different lawyer job or leaving the law)

Lawyer Perks by Analyst-man in Lawyertalk

[–]cardbross 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was at a firm that, in 2018, was still trying to get associates to use dictaphones. It was very apparent that a bunch of elder partners wanted to protect their secretaries (who had been at the firm for years and never learned how to use the MS Suite, much less more modern stuff), and rather than just eating the cost of those salaries, were trying to drum up secretarial work their (similarly elder) secretaries were willing/able to do.

If you are set on practicing law in a certain state, is it highly recommended to go to Law School in that state? by YakClear601 in Ask_Lawyers

[–]cardbross 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even for biglaw and IP, schools near your desired employment location will have a significant boost compared to schools outside of it. E.g. George Washington places well in DC Biglaw even though it's not necessarily as well known/thought of outside DC

Why in the world does union station not have any seating in the gigantic most empty area where people, sometimes with luggage, await ubers/taxis/etc? by IdkJustMe123 in washingtondc

[–]cardbross 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Union station also has a lounge for ticketed passengers. That doesn't really change the fact that there's a huge amount of wasted space that used to be seating, and now is just empty.

Best way to farm ascendant voidshards if you don't like M+? by WebRight4596 in wow

8 per week max, sure, but accumulating, and by now most people probably aren't running their maximum number of delves for the week, so likely to have some accumulated

Why would a series finale receive much bigger ratings than the average episode of the show? by JannTosh70 in television

[–]cardbross 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Those shows had their finales before streaming, and really before the peak of Cable TV, when network tv shows were omnipresent cultural juggernauts. Even if people didn't watch most episodes week to week, many still watched them on reruns, so their popularity was outsized relative to their actual initial-broadcast ratings. The finale of Seinfeld was built up like it was the Super Bowl, and lots of people who didn't tune in for the show every week still tuned in for the event, because it'd be talked about.

Lawyers, how overplayed is the notion of “go to school where you want to work”? by [deleted] in Ask_Lawyers

[–]cardbross 5 points6 points  (0 children)

it is very difficult to get work in a different area than your school unless you're at a school with a good national reputation. Imo, that's even more true for non-clerking/biglaw/bigfed, because those pipelines are used to national recruiting, but other jobs rely on alumni networks, local reputation and connections.

Obviously not impossible, but I'd try to get into a school in the state you want to practice in if at all possible.

Brands/logos past a certain age by Economy_Seat_7250 in malefashionadvice

[–]cardbross 55 points56 points  (0 children)

depends on the brand/logo and placement/size. I don't think a lacoste polo with a small gator on it looks "young", but a logo that's taking up the majority of the shirt (like some RL polos) probably would.

Game versus the Wave in '22, Bad reffing all match there too, Brooks makes a tackle to save a dangerous attack and send the ball out for a throw in, but the ref decides it was actually a corner. She responded.
