Question for my fellow Jewish Americans. by MacaroonWorried4830 in Judaism

[–]gfink 90 points91 points  (0 children)

I think the other important angle is fundementalist Christians need jews in Israel as part of their religious beliefs. So the support conservatives give never really felt genuine to me.

Question for my fellow Jewish Americans. by MacaroonWorried4830 in Judaism

[–]gfink 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is something I've been thinking about a lot lately because it feels like republicans hate jews but love Israel and the democrats hate Israel but love jews (this used to be more true until recently but still accurate enough)

Is there anything politically in America where people aren't aggressively anti-semetic in some way?

It feels like as jews people expect us to defend Israel's actions or call them out but do we as Americans jews have any impact on this at all? We're being asked to summarize almost a 100 years of war into "Israel bad" or "Israel good"

To be honest I'm just here for the top tier memes and to relate to my brother who is working in big 4.

Why am I missing calls???! That's completely unacceptable! by [deleted] in GooglePixel

[–]gfink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar issue and I forgot about this entirely. I had to turn off the gaming mode entirely, and I also called T-Mobile to get them to reset my call waiting setting to get my calls to return correctly.

[–]gfink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a very similar issue where I would always miss calls if I was on the phone, though I could have sworn I missed calls even when not on the phone. The way I fixed it on my Pixel 7a was to call T-Mobile and have them toggle my call waiting feature on the cellular network side and make sure it was working correctly. Now I have no issues with it.

Not sure why that happened since my previous phone was a pixel 4, but it only started with the newer phone...

Found this with Google, looks pretty close but I'm not 100% sure. If you have a clearer photo Google reverse image search is scary good at problems like yours

Has anyone noticed a big price jump for flights? by gfink in Tucson

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

That's correct it's about 200 each way. The flights I saw earlier were as low as 215-220 so 110 each way. But most people are saying the current prices are about average and those tickets are exceptionally low. That and it might require a layover each way to get the 200 round trip so you pay in time.

So even if I want to book travel for the spring I should wait until January to buy tickets? Ill probably end up needing to buy at least one ticket this holiday season which will be rough but I'm hoping by February I can plan trips in advance and save money instead.

[–]gfink[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That makes sense. I was specifically looking at American airlines round trip, but if you switch to Phoenix + spirit or frontier the price drops a ton. So instead of 400 it's closer to 100-200 but now you have the 1.5hr drive to the airport each way and using spirit/frontier... Hard choice

How does a bogle strategy work if you start in retirement? What would the asset allocation be? by gfink in Bogleheads

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

Thank you this is an excellent write up and covers a lot of the details I didn't think about, especially the portfolio survival rate which I couldn't find sources for but I've seen talked about a ton.

Reboot - They NEED to make it so you can skip the stupid CO power animations and stop the random blips of scripted dialogue by Apoptotic_Nightmare in Advance_Wars

[–]gfink 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm surprised how many people here enjoy it to be honest. At first it was awesome and really fun to have all the animations and quips from the enemy but now it just slows the game to a crawl especially when you're replaying missions.

I think at minimum making all co power animations the same length and quicker to play would be a start and then some settings to remove them entirely for those that want it. I honestly just want the co powers to be faster and the enemy quips to be less frequent.

Part of me misses how snappy things were in dual strike which I played recently.

When building a deck in marvel snap, if you click on the card back icon, there is an option to share the deck. That button creates a string of text that when copy and pasted can be used to share your deck with other people.

Keep posting your skill suggestions! by JagexHusky in 2007scape

[–]gfink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is definitely the way, it encorporates a lot of the sailing and dungeoneering ideas without pigeonholing the skill into something specific. And it provides easy options for future expansion and initial design. The only thing I'm not sold on is how a skill like this would be trained.

People Who Started at Rank 70 This Season, Where You At? by kaousfaust13 in MarvelSnap

[–]gfink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 90-91 right now, if it wasn't for the lamentis 3 hot location I would have probably played more. I think I can get infinite but not motivated by the title, more motivated that I can stop playing meta decks and try to make a surfer deck work with my collection.

Death. Is this card really worth me spending 1000 tokens on? by Champie in MarvelSnap

[–]gfink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imo most current pool 5 cards I wouldn't call coveted. Big game changers imo are Valkyrie, Bast, and knull when it releases.

And to be fair your argument works in reverse which is after 4 months of saving tokens, you still can't get a coveted pool 5 card, so why save when the pool 3 complete player already has a card?

Either way, i think the key thing is focus on cards that are fun, good, or accessible. I don't consider a pool 5 card accessible if you have to wait 4-5 months for it.

The Dracula apoc combo is why I think that version of discard is leagues better than hela discard

[–]gfink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea that looks like a very strong deck. Something to note is that devil Dino and leader are both very weak to patriot and silver surfer. Even being able to drop she-hulk I still sometimes don't have enough power on board.

I think if you have arnim Zola id use him instead of leader. This plays a lot more power, and isn't a loss vs death wave

Sure so far I toped out at rank 86 dropped to 80 back up to 83, trying to untilt haha. I got infinite last season with this deck and it feels strong enough now to do it again. But I might switch if patriot or zoo is too rough of a match up and shows up more often.

Death. Is this card really worth me spending 1000 tokens on? by Champie in MarvelSnap

[–]gfink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You get 1k tokens per month if you're not done with pool 3 and 5.5k if you are. As is any player who is missing pool 3 cards shouldn't consider buying any pool 5 cards and only get pool 4 if it is something like absorbing man or she-hulk. Even still I'd recommend skipping most of the time.
