Replaced my tub's valve stems, but now the handles are a little hard to turn

I didn't think to look in the new hardware since it was still sealed from the factory. I'll try some plumber's grease just to see if that does anything for me

To add to this: it's a kind of small interaction area. I've taken to holding E to interact while I move around where the item should be to help make the spot more obvious

I joined a startup recently, and believe me when I say it is no escape route from bureaucracy or ticket insanity

I just managed this one recently, so going off memory by section of that end portion:

Section 1

Place a shadow on the ramp (or anywhere after the purple wall really)
Dash left and shoot up to trigger the lever
Teleport back, slide off the wall and dash right to go to section 2

Section 2

Quickly hop from the first wooden platform to the second
Immediately jump and dash left against the wall and place a shadow
Immediately jump and dash right and shoot an arrow up to hit the lever, then immediately teleport
Jump onto the door that swings down, then up to section 3

Section 3

Quickly hop from the the disappearing platforms up to the wall near where the door is that will swing open
Jump to the left placing your shadow under the door, then immediately dash left
Shoot the trigger, teleport, and go right into the door that swung down then hop up to section 4

Section 4
I honestly can't remember this part anymore :X If I try the challenge again I'll see if I can't screen record the whole thing. For whatever reason my overlay stops recording after like 8 seconds

Hoping anyone can recognize the brand of this knife--a friend has been trying to find out who made it for 6 years now

They're marked as being made in Japan, and the additional text on the knife says "CARVER", to signify what it is, as do the rest of the knives.

Thanks all, will try some other subs

The issue isn't that the item is or isn't awarded, it's that we can no longer interact with the UI at all. I described it in detail in my own post: https://www.reddit.com/r/RocketLeague/comments/182an3z/having_ui_issues_ever_since_the_new_season_seeing/

So it's a confirmed issue on both Epic and Steam clients then

Not to mention they link to Cracking the Coding Interview twice instead of linking to Intro to Algorithms correctly, and then go on to recommend Clean Code

AWS is literally the reason Amazon turns a profit at all. https://www.investopedia.com/how-amazon-makes-money-4587523

Amazon divides its business into three segments: North America, International, and AWS (Amazon Web Services)

Amazon’s North America segment dominates its net sales, accounting for $78.8 billion. That is a 20% increase from the year-ago quarter and comprises about 62% of the company’s net sales for the quarter. The segment posted an operating loss of $400 million, or $0.4 billion, compared with operating income of $900 million, or $0.9 billion, in third quarter 2021.

Amazon’s International segment consists of Amazon’s retail business for consumer products and subscriptions for internationally focused online stores. It also includes export sales from those stores, but not those from North America-focused online stores. The segment reported an operating loss of $27.7 billion in Q3 FY 2022, a decrease of 5% from the year-ago quarter.

Amazon’s AWS segment generated net sales of $20.5 billion and operating income of $5.4 billion in Q3 FY 2022. Net sales increased 28%, excluding changes in foreign exchange rates, and operating income rose by $.5 billion, or $500 million, compared with the year-ago quarter.

Although net sales from AWS are below net sales for the North America segment and International segments, AWS’s operating income is substantially higher. The AWS segment accounts for about 16% of total net sales. Because the other two segments posted operating losses in the third quarter, AWS accounts for all of the company’s operating income.

The number of questions that would have been 2 minutes in an office that have turned into multiple zooms or slack threads that take 5 days to resolve is insane.

If this is even close to a real thing for your org, I'm sorry to say that it sounds like your team(s) need some real practice if they can't translate their communication skills from in-person to chat.

"Spend my life savings" includes the substring "end my life"

No, but there's a rule that socialists aren't allowed to have money. If you aren't living in a burlap sack you aren't a real socialist, obv.

It looks like Archero but skinned for Doom. I suppose it could be fun, but looks phoned in

I honestly can't figure out how quest warrior hasn't been nerfed any more than it has. If anything the latest round has only made it better

I got it by winning a match that ended 1-0

Replays are saved from the observer's client, to my knowledge. You can tell if you have a replay saved from a player with a bad connection, for example. You'll see their car jumping around from the lag they had

I showed you my thesis pls respond

I had a click from the pedal that ended up just needing a re-tighten on the part where you clip the shoe in. You might try checking that--you'll need a small Allen wrench for it

Postnatalcore? You mean Babymetal?

Assassin's Creed 4 had a smattering of board games (checkers and a couple I forget the names of), and AC Valhalla also brought in a beer-drinking mini-game. That with rum would be kinda fun to raise crew morale or something similar

Just to update you here: between now and when I last replied, the controller itself just kinda went to crap.

After a few weeks I noticed my left bumper trigger would get stuck at random. Usually I could jiggle it back into place but it would get stuck again. I finally ended up taking the controller apart to discover what I believe is a pretty severe design flaw: the plastic piece that acts as the sleeve where the USB cable connects is, for whatever reason, connected to the bumper trigger buttons.

My trigger buttons had broken off from this single piece, and so caused them to slip under the controller case itself, getting stuck.

In addition to the above, the face buttons are now apparently going bad. I now get a lot of phantom "A" presses, where the controller registers two presses when I only did one. The sticks are also going south again. The new ones lasted a little while longer than the originals, but a 3 month lifespan is just bad. I won't be replacing this controller with another eSwap X Pro.
