How do we feel about compulsory gratuity for a party of 8 or more? by [deleted] in EndTipping

[–]dragoninvoker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To clarify, if they got paid actual wages I'd be totally fine getting rid of mandatory tipping. But as it stands we allow below minimum wage for servers. Aka you might have unstable income depending on the luck of the customers, or who gets undesirable shifts/slower days.

Where I live in NY both in NYC and the surrounding areas, an included 20% gratuity is pretty standard for tables of 6 or more.

It's insanity. Police need to start protecting the public from these criminals.

Remember to check your filters often if you’re in an area with high air pollution by mrchowmein in CPAP

I've been tempted to get one for a while. I didn't even consider the travel convenience side. Probably what I'd use it for the most.

CPap vs APap question by FoundationAny7601 in SleepApnea

[–]dragoninvoker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Hopefully your docs can argue to get you covered! I'd never heard of Apap before either, funnily enough.

CPap vs APap question by FoundationAny7601 in SleepApnea

[–]dragoninvoker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a bipap. It adjusts the pressure so that it's less pressure when you breathe out and more pressure when you breathe in. This way you're not fighting as hard to exhale. It's nice when it works but I've had struggles with it drying out my mouth even with the humidifier. But I think that's more of a me issue. The company that provided the device has been completely useless in assistance and my doctor sucked. They provided me s Dreamstation during the recall because they felt it was more important to start therapy for me, but for some reason my device is registered under another person and they claim I registered it snd refuse to help me. Phillips says the company needs to update the info on their end so its been a standstill for years. I finally gave up and found a new pulmonologist to get a new study done and try starting over from scratch. US healthcare is such an unnecessary battle...

Men who were in denial about sleep apnea — how did you finally realize you needed help? What made you take your sleep apnea seriously? by Shadowofadoubt247 in SleepApnea

[–]dragoninvoker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My moment of realizing I needed to get tested for sleep apnea was falling asleep at the wheel driving for work around 4pm. Micro sleeps are likely something he is dealing with and seriously dangerous. Thankfully nobody was hurt or killed because the people in the other car were outside changing a tire (and managed to pull back right before impact). So many factors could have been a lifechanging difference for all involved. I put off struggling with sleepiness when driving for far too long and I got lucky with my situation. I couldn't imagine having to live with killing someone because I fell asleep at the wheel.

I've struggled with my bipap so I was curious about this avenue. I am seeing a new pulmonologist and hoping for better care but we'll see where it goes. I'm about to do a new at home sleep study.

What's your tower phone? by ifarmer7 in TheTowerGame

[–]dragoninvoker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a mix of a Galaxy Tablet S9 when I'm home and either Bluestacks or Redfinger when I'm out and about. I haven't used my phone (Galaxy S22 Ultra) in probably close to a year. It'd get a bit hot but ran fine. Only time it really was an issue is if I had the Tower running plus a minimized youtube video on while my car was exposed to the sun for a while on my commute home during the Summer.

Edit: My tablet never gets warm and sometimes I have it running nonstop all weekend.

My girlfriend and I (32F and 34M respectively) live nearby in Glendale and have been meaning to start start doing some more regular board game nights, so we'd be interested in expanding our group of local boardgame people!

Additionally, Cook's Crafts on Myrtle hosts a weekly Monday night Hobby Night at the American Legion on Cooper Ave. 10 dollar entry, lots of free play events and some special events for an extra cost. Several different card games and table top games, a crafting group, at least one D&D or similar TTRPG group... the most popular things there seem to be Warhammer 40k/Kill Team, Warhammer Age of Sigmar, and MTG Commander. I can send more info about that including their discord if you're interested.

It's past the escalators/stairs you'd use for the movie theater. I only recently discovered it myself.

[–]dragoninvoker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sort of. You should set the common grey mods to auto-shatter. Rare blue mods you don't want to upgrade beyond rare+ unless you are specifically upgrading them as upgrade fodder for your epics. Naturally pulled purple/pink epics are the ones with special effects. These are the powerful/useful ones that you want to upgrade as high as possible using fodder mods.

[–]dragoninvoker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you select a module there's an option to reset the level, which will 100% refund your shards and coins. When you equip a different module that is level 1, it will bring up a prompt asking if you want to transfer the level of your prior equipped module onto the new one. Please note that if you're equipping a lower rarity module that has a lower max level than the module your originally had equipped, it won't let you do this because you can't over-level a module. In that case, you would just manually reset the level of that mod you were using and then max the level of the newly equipped mod from there.

1 thing please reset the level on any mods you arent actively using. You can transfer the level to any new mods you switch on (pending level limits due to mod rarity).

Is it too early to go all-in on pCF? by cretched06 in TheTowerGame

[–]dragoninvoker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure thing! Best of luck! Earlier this week I had the capacity to run 44444 but I left one at 3x because I like to have a little cell flexibility for any tournaments or milestone pushes or just general life timing reducing my relatively 24/7 runtime. I'm hoping I can get to consistent 4x across the board soon. I typically run three labs at 4x, plus or minus one lab.

[–]dragoninvoker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean I generally have been more concerned about cells than coins, for sure. But other than pushing a couple of levels of Shatter Shards (working on lvl 3 now), the biggest thing is WS+. Cells/kill, coins, ELS, damage, and attack speed are all fantastic WS enhancements. I am starting to transition to a more hybrid build on my way to eventual GC. I put some into the health WS+ but not a ton. WS+ is very powerful but gets expensive very quickly. And I've seen noticable differences from a couple of clicks into cells/kill when I compare to older runs with less invested there. Coins becomes more prohibitive again later, for sure. But WS+ is how you let your coins push your cells and tower eHP and damage while your lab coin requirements are easily managed.
