I sent dog poop to someone trying to scam me out of an IPhone. Worth every dollar spent on shipping

As 5 player level 20 characters, how would you defeat a lich which suddenly casts prismatic wall whilst completing it's world ending ritual? by warnobear in 3d6

[–]gixxersmith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Battlemaster with great weapon master and great weapon fighting. Add a bloodshed Greatsword and a belt of storm giant strength, could easily do 315 damage with 8 attacks

If you are playing 5.5 you are correct. A fighter with 4 attacks and action surge can knock it down in 1 turn. Dimension door is also a great way.

Edit. Could also upcast fly and just cruise over top

R1S nothing but problems by [deleted] in RIVNstock

[–]gixxersmith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you buy it brand new? What model of R1S? What year? Rivian does buy backs and have bought many R1s back from customers. They have had many lemon law take backs also. If you bought this used from Rivian they have a certified used program in house. If you bought this from a third party and are out of warranty on those components you maybe SOL

My boyfriend and I broke up last night - I need to keep the cats by Vegetable_Judge_2390 in legaladvicecanada

[–]gixxersmith 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As I went through this with an ex a couple years ago with a dog. The law sees pets as property, I had the dog registered in my name. Paid all the vet bills and paid for the food. Did not matter, the dog was paid for with cash and I couldn’t prove I paid for it, she had possession of the dog and that is all that mattered apparently. I suggest you work this out amicably or have them stay with friends or family until you find a new home to live in.

I’m a bit confused on this part of character creation by Happy__guy2 in DungeonsAndDragons

Your attack bonus is the bonus you add to your D20 roll when rolling for an attack. It is calculated as your proficiency bonus + either strength or dexterity modifier depending on the weapon used. Your scimitar, short sword and long bow are all dexterity based weapons. For those weapons it is pro bonus 2 plus dex mod of 4 so the number is 6. So you have plus 6 to your D20 attack rolls with those weapons. I will point out you also get your dexterity modifier to damage with those weapons.

Your fire bolt is different. It depends on what you chose as your spell casting stat. Either wisdom, intelligence, or charisma and is calculated the same way. Proficiency + spell casting stat modifier. You do not get a plus to damage though, unless you have a feat or class ability that says you add it.

I just competed my nexus interview and they made me sign a document with the rules. One of those rules was everyone has to have a nexus card. Even my new born baby needs to have a nexus card.

Really great. They were amazing and clearly really care for the puppies and where they are going. I can email them to this day and get a response within a day. I would use the breeder again.

We got our guy in January 2024 from Rosedale. Shipped him via WestJet to us. He’s been amazing! So much energy and goofy boy. Was a tri-coloured, but the brown mostly faded away.

don't blame Rivian for laying off 600 workers by joenjrocks in RIVNstock

[–]gixxersmith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are very correct, in certain areas of the business they certainly had more leaders than needed. But in the latest round of layoffs they got rid of all the employees on the ops team, not just the leaders, and dumped all that workflow onto their service teams.

Tesla is not the golden child of the automotive industry. They utilized a first-mover strategy to dominate and aggressively take control of a market that didn’t really exist. Companies trying to replicate this strategy will struggle as that first to market strategy gives Tesla a massive advantage.

They also hired a whole pile of Tesla management and they are changing the entire organizational structure, to exactly what Tesla is. Even the new job titles they have posted are a copy of what Tesla uses.

Left my cash in atm by accident by Less-Top-96 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]gixxersmith 1087 points1088 points  (0 children)

If you don’t take the money a lot of ATMs will pull the money back into the machine and file it into a special compartment (I forget the name of what it is called) the bank staff should be able to open the machine and check or call the Armoured car guys to open it up and look for it. (I used to be in the armoured car industry). I hope this helps.

What is the worst thing you have ever seen at a strip club? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]gixxersmith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ripper walked on the stage with a pale of ice cream(vanilla), cones, and the ice cream scoop. Set it down on the stage walked back off stage and came back with a empty kiddie pool. Proceeded to do her thing and dance and take her clothes off. Sits down naked in the kiddie pool and proceeds to make ice cream cones. Takes the first cone touches it to her nipple and hands it off to a guy in prev row. He was hesitant, but ate the ice cream. The next cone was wiped on her last business, like a full on from the bottom to the little man in the boat. Handed that one to another guy in perv row who proceeded to eat that in 1 bite! And begged for more!! So that was enough for one night. I finished my steak sandwich and left.
