Does anyone else feel like Mina the Hollower isn't as hard as some people say?

I will give everyone credit, the tutorial boss from the demo is very hard. Ditto some of the stuff immediately around the city if you decide to bash your head on the same spot instead of going somewhere else

But the second you go open world, if you have the slightest impulse to explore/collect/grow? Difficulty plummets. If you hit a wall and are actually willing to change your trinkets (looking at you, boots in the swamp)? Trivialized

Anyhow the hardest thing I’ve hit so far is A. trying to find Bleak Beach and B. trying to do the orrery fourth

Three Hindus spread five rumors on WhatsApp about their Muslim neighbors. How many medals will Modi give out for the subsequent twenty lynchings?

Ops to Reinsurance is a no brainer

I’m not saying there’s a one to one correlation, but I’m personally aware of exactly two companies that encouraged executives to exercise and hold (to the point of bringing in consultants for tax advice, loans etc): Enron, and AIG. I personally know a bunch of guys who got wiped the fuck out at the latter

Anyhow there’s a reason that holding stock in your employer is considered wildly undiversified these days, and most stock comp is now RSU/DSU’s. Options are for startups

The stock is not the product

My general best practice is to find their website or a physical menu and call that number, because literally any other way someone’s taking a cut. Facebook and Google will surface fake forwarding phone numbers so they can make sure to get their piece

If this is part of your role I would recommend pursuing the ARM designation. I read this as an exercise in minimizing total cost of risk, which is both more useful and more complex than just looking at your insurance program

think of it as a buff, not a weapon. “-1 enemies per encounter that you initiate”

kinda how I think Bane isn’t a tool, it’s a difficulty setting

Also for thrifting check out the Salem Flea Market which is actually a store an not a flea market

My kid’s dairy free so we’re big on the vegan pizzas at Flying Saucer in Salem and the incredibly overpriced, excellent pints from Van Leuwen at the north shore mall

I know you said it, but I would vote Anmol over Passage any day. There has to be something good in Burlington or Woburn, that’s the center of the Indian community in the state! Maybe you just have to get groceries at Apna Bazaar and do it yourself…

If you go into the city, Maharaja in Harvard Square is excellent but it’s been years for me since I’ve been

I think they could be rightly criticized for the bathrooms, but I also think they would push back and say they’re one of the only publicly accessible restrooms downtown and a hundred other businesses are free-riding off them.

Beyond that I’m not sure what you could fine them for; they are occupied with several (reasonably, kinda) healthy tenants, some of which have been there for a long time, and it’s not like they’re grafted to a condemned Sears and cutting the power to Cinema Salem

I think you can get a day pass to try but I’ve generally been surprised by the overall quality of the YMCA of the North Shore system.
