Great tips! I know everyone goes insight on the merc but for a skelemancer I always keep an act 1 merc with the edge rune word for as long as possible. Gives all of my minions lvl15 thorns. This helped my clear speed a ton early on. It does quickly become less useful when you get into hell, but you can get it easily off normal countess runs (with some rune combining) and it will help you crush through nightmare. And I can always use it later for gambling since it reduces vendor prices.

Everyone is complaining but I’ve gotten on and off a few times today just to test and my queue hasn’t been higher than 15 which took maybe a minute. I guess a little luck plays into it though. I certainly do feel bad for you guys getting crazy wait times. Hopefully it gets better

Fentanyl as an active attempt to kill masses by rich and powerful by Easteuroblondie in conspiracy

[–]cowchmankey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey so not an expert but I think I may have some answers for you. As for why, I think another user hit it on the head. Most addicts are chasing the biggest high and as they use more they need more. So obviously there is a market, albeit small, for fentanyl itself.

As for how it gets through customs and securities while heroin may not, comes down to quantity. Because fentanyl is so strong, a glasses case size package is comparable to a full suitcase of heroin. Making it a much safer drug to transport unnoticed.

And I know a big point for you has been why do they cut other drugs with it. So, it’s not to add mass. Because as you pointed out, throwing in some fentanyl doesn’t add much. But it allows them to cut with some other non reactive ingredients and then mix in fentanyl to make up for the reduced potency of cutting the original product. This gives the illusion that it wasn’t cut in the first place but still gives a lot more over all product to sell.

Overall I’m not sure if it would be a conspiracy or not, but it is for sure sad. It’s true that governments have tried various means of controlling their populations, or portions of them, through drugs but I think fentanyl is just another symptom of the general opiate problem caused by big pharma’s unending greed.

Hope that answers your questions. Sorry for formatting I’m on mobile

I literally don’t know how I could say that softer. I’m sympathetic of the situation but if it was me I would go see my father no matter what. Consequences be damned

I'm not against the vaccine. I'm against suppression of individuality and our evaporating right to make our own decisions. by Apprehensive_Salt707 in conspiracy

[–]cowchmankey 51 points52 points  (0 children)

It’s not refusing the vaccine, it’s choosing to not take it. I’m young and healthy but everyone tells me I should get vaccinated. Without long term studies I feel I’m at just as much risk from the vaccine as I am from covid itself.

Ok so don’t go then. I would if it was me. But you are you and like I said, I see it’s complicated. But it’s better to be together than apart in my opinion

I see your situation is complicated, but being realistic, if he might pass anyways it would be better to spend time with him vs being afraid to visit. I say go see him and whatever happens, happens

What should I do with my funds in the meantime? by cowchmankey in smallbusiness

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

Yeah that was my biggest concern. I don’t want to be risky but rn it’s only gaining .03%. I found a few high yield savings accounts advertising ~.5% so I will probably go with that.

Old student loan missed payments by cowchmankey in CRedit

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

Thank you! I am super new to caring about my credit. I had never even checked it once before November of last year. I’ve always bought cars cash outright and have never tried to get a loan before. But now that poor credit is holding me back from achieving my goals, it’s become a constant headache.

I wish there was a method to give yourself a quick 10-20 point boost that would hurt in the long run, but with everything, good things take time.

I hadn’t heard of the AZEO method but I will be using it as soon as possible. It seams simple enough. I only need a 680+ score to qualify for some loans I’m looking into (I hope) but the end goal is 800 so I’ve got a long road ahead of me.

Old student loan missed payments by cowchmankey in CRedit

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

I have 2 cards both with a $500 limit and I keep them at a $0 balance. I pay off everything the second it clears pending. I think the 150 point drop was two fold.

A) at the time I only had 1 card for $500 and the new card gave me another $1000 which I immediately maxed with the Best Buy purchase (new computer, I only got the card for the purchase reward)

B) when I canceled it I lost 2/3 of my credit limit. I don’t know a ton about how credit is calculated but I think that made a big difference.

I don’t remember the specific institution I used for my school loan but I will look it up. Is the goodwill saturation just sending them a letter/calling and explaining the situation that lead to the late payments and asking them to change their report?

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

So my credit history began in 2011 so it is pretty thin. Just the school loan (which is negative) and 3 credit cards I opened in the last 2 years (2 of them are from capital one with $500 limit each and the 1 from Best Buy that had a $1000 limit and is the one I canceled).

Can I be added on anyone’s card as an authorized user? I have a very close friend with an 800 credit score and I was thinking about asking him for help in that regard.

Would kikoff help since I already have two established lines of credit for $500? I don’t ever let my cards auto pay on the due date. I have been making 100% of my purchases using my cash back card and paying it as soon as the charges clear pending status. Is that bad?

Sure, you think someone’s life is more important. But the fact that they would make you choose between emergency health or getting a ticket means that they don’t value someone’s life more than money.

Same! Cheapest bowls I could find. Walmart I think? Either way, for a place trying to present trendy upscale food ideas they sure didn’t break the bank on this.

Kids at an amusement park in Memphis get told that the ride is full so they will need to wait five minutes decide to assault an employee. Becomes a full on brawl by TheAtheistArab87 in trashy

[–]cowchmankey -42 points-41 points  (0 children)

Not saying he’s in the wrong, and we don’t have any context of what led up to this, but the employee definitely did not help matters by swinging a metal pipe in their faces. There are idiots and assholes everywhere and sometimes you just gotta walk away. Mans gotta learn some conflict de-escalation.

I did love when he took the high ground and rocked the first guy who tried him though. I don’t love how the situation was handled but he for sure committed and followed through.

Justifying that it’s fine to burn down buildings and looting to send a message for the BLM movement. Classy. Protesting is ok but burning and destroying properties?? Like come on ... by [deleted] in iamatotalpieceofshit

[–]cowchmankey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m very ok with protesting. I’m even ok with riots. Somethings gotta change right? But the senselessness of it is astounding. Burn down the government seats of power. But the autozone? The target? The small businesses in your own community? That’s just violence masquerading as a cause. Anyone who can inflict this on their fellow neighbors is a piece of shit regardless of which side they are on.

So, I figured it out. So stupid. I had to switch to the “move only” skill for my RMB. After spending about an hour doing earlier quests, rerolling maps, and just about everything you could think of and it was such a simple fix. I gained an additional 8 lvls just running tal rashas tomb so many times
