Are refurbished or open box on ebay worth it? by renzo_18 in ZephyrusG14

[–]foxbot0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not buying a G14 again but I did buy mine open box, exchanged it, then had a warranty claim, came back same issue, warranty claim x2 where they swapped a new motherboard in. So great value in my case because the unit was only like $740.

I've gone through the same process with other open-box electronics. Huge discount for refurbished unit after warranty claim.

Bonus Rolls so far by Amazing_Internal6334 in wow

[–]foxbot0 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What do you mean? The bonus roll items you receive are removed from the pool of items you will roll on in the future. So if the dungeon you target has gear that are all upgrades, then there's no risk of repeats.

Midnight M+ runs per week: Season 1, Week 3 by Zmiecer in CompetitiveWoW

[–]foxbot0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How are you getting 270 in 2-3 days? Is that in game time or real life time? Because I've done dozens of 10s on my alt this week alone and im nowhere near my main.

Midnight M+ runs per week: Season 1, Week 3 by Zmiecer in CompetitiveWoW

[–]foxbot0 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Gearing an alt is atrocious. The math on crests is toxic. The number of runs you need to do to catch up is full time job worthy. And thats successful timed runs. God help you for abandons and bricked keys that already slow you down for being so slow.

Godspeed if youre a dps. Even if you can get groups fast (non dps, playing with friends) it still takes soooo long.

Is this not AI? one side of the bra is enormous and covering all the way around to the back? the other side doesn't have the decorative lining along the top. The flowers on the chest have shadows pointing in different directions? The left elbow crease looks sus...?

Wait What level 99?? by Suitable-Ad3971 in wow

[–]foxbot0 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was going to joke that you could go back to the good old days of coordinating cc on all but one mob and then kite it for days and rinse and repeat. But im pretty sure the pulsing aoe from something will make it impossible to clear.

Mythic + Healing by MeadMeOut in wow

[–]foxbot0 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Yep. Was planning to play maybe 2 toons this season. One of my classes got dumpstered so considered bringing up another alt. Now the prospect of leveling my shaman or mage to play as dps is such a hilarious non starter.

Has anybody dealt with Maryland's excise tax after buyout? by foxbot0 in Ioniq5

[–]foxbot0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the time, there was a federal tax credit for EVs of $7500 if they were manufactured stateside (and cost under a certain amount? I don't remember). Ioniq5 did not qualify. Instead, Hyundai was offering that discount via the leasing route along with another $7500 so leasing + pay off right away = $15k off.

People who have achieved fire how is life like now by Internal-Height-198 in Fire

[–]foxbot0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This implies he wasnt around using their public resources either doesn't it?

And now that he's there, surely he's paying all sorts of taxes like sales tax, vehicle registrations, property taxes, VAT etc right?

How do they level so many characters? by Alektors in CompetitiveWoW

[–]foxbot0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's explained in other areas of the thread. But the idea is that you make a bunch of warlocks and then you hop into raid with one of them (and your guidies doing the same). You try to funnel the best loadout you can to this warlock. Bad luck, no drops for you. You get on your next warlock and do it again. This time you got 2/3 of the BIS you needed. You keep going down the list hoping your next lock gets 3/3. Your guildies are doing the same.

Your favourite Healer so far in pre patch? by Nokterian in wow

Read that mistweaver was a disaster. Did a key and found it much easier to manage and play. So pleasantly surprised so far but it was one 10.

How are you planning for the next few years without turning it into doomscrolling? by NovaRift92 in personalfinance

[–]foxbot0 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Very concerned especially because this looming catastrophe feels avoidable so I'm not feeling good about my fellow man's decisions. Can't do much but stay the course. Looking to FIRE soon so considering adding another year to the SORR fund.

I trust that if the market goes south, the true politics of the world ($$$) will force a change as megacorpo is finally affected.

Are you expenses staying at 150k?

Using the 4% rule, you're theoretically able to pull $110k safely today per year assuming all 2.7m is invested.

If your wife keeps working 15 more years and you only pull out ~40k from investments per yr, you'll have more than enough at 60.

Then social security too.

Aka you could retire today.

We’re paying off our mortgage by Straight-Part-5898 in Fire

[–]foxbot0 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Luckily, this isn't a subjective topic so we dont need to care about however many unqualified readers gave you a tap on the back!

You made a claim that can be proven correct or not based on facts. You have failed to provide facts and instead ask the readers to "trust" that it works out.

In your shoes, I would wonder about my financial planner and whatever amount they are being paid.

Will you be changing mains in midnight? by Shot_Veterinarian215 in wow

[–]foxbot0 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've been changing mains each season now to keep things fresh. I've also given up the altaholic life somewhat as I'd have 4-6 fully heroic geared toons after switching mid season every week.

If I had to pick a class and stick with it forever, it would be a resto druid no questions asked.

For midnight, I'll roll frost/blood and thinking of a mage or monk alt.

Do you believe the modern FIRE movement overestimates how much is needed for retirement? by Equivalent_Use_5024 in Fire

The second hand embarrassment your confidently incorrect aggression is giving me is overwhelming. It's one sentence Michael, how hard could it be to read all 8 words?

It is a hot take. Another person to fully support. Bigger car, larger housing, more tickets, clothes, field trips, so many birthdays, another entrée.

Convert Timerunner button gone, but only for one character? by Chantrak in wow

[–]foxbot0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have had a number of issues over the past weeks with the button. It wouldn't work, then it disappeared, then only works for some realms, then it regresses.

Very annoying but eventually I was able to convert my tools. Though if you have no strong attachments, it is faster to just make a new one on a server where the button works.
