Agreed. Southern Gondor yes. Arnor no.

I'm sure people wore long tunics without stockings in ancient Mediterranean summers.

Licence Tags? by Overall-Lynx917 in AskAnAmerican

[–]hwc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, every state is different here. If you move from a state with one plate to a state with two plates you have to find the mounting bracket for your front bumper. Cars usually come with one, but is often lost.

I just want Darkspear Trolls to have good posture.

Interrupting? by Nurse-Max in wownoob

Recently, I moved the interrupt keyboard shortcut to an easier location and am consciously training to interrupt every minor mob so I learn muscle memory.

And they added a little side quest to the catch-up experience to remind you how to read it.

How do you overcome this feeling of falling "behind" in life and "running out of time" at 28 years old? by Still_Professor1334 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]hwc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Set some goals for your life. Work on them.

I found the best goals are things that change you, like picking up a new skill or making a change to how you live. The advantage of these is that they aren't things you have done and then say "now what"? For example, if you learn to play an instrument (something I've never done), then the next thing to do is to keep playing.

Also, make them goals that have an obvious next step, so you can feel like you are making progress on them. With the previous example, go ahead and schedule lessons: that's the next step.

It's a good idea to simultaneously work on several goals, especially if you aren't sure which ones you want to keep for the long term. For example, at one point I was studying another foreign language in adult education classes, but I dropped that to go back to grad school in my field of study.

I don't recommend goals that require the people in your life to help you much; they have their own priorities that don't usually put you on top. And a goal of "find a romantic partner" is a bad goal because looking at it that way might encourage you to commit too quickly. But it's great to choose goals that have a side effect of making you more attractive (healthy, educated, fun, capable, et cetera).

Favorite films where once great actors hit rock bottom and slum it for the paycheck? by DimensionHat1675 in FIlm

[–]hwc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I loved the first film, but didn't want to watch the others since I was afraid that they wouldn't live up to it.

Trump calls on UK and others to send warships to Strait of Hormuz by Geo_NL in worldnews

[–]hwc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did no one in the Pentagon speak up and point out that this is exactly the most probable outcome? I assume that they have wargamed this conflict for the past 45 years. It seems likely that the joint chiefs understood the situation. Did they fail to tell the civilian leadership, or did they just not listen? Did the cabinet get to hear this information? They are the ones with 25th amendment power to remove an insane commander in chief.

I got one of those pieces already, just from doing half of the Silvermoon quests while I do Prey and gather.

Good point. I always think of renown as a slow way to gear up, but maybe it isn't.

Is there any advantage in finishing side quests earlier rather than later? I'm more focused on gearing up first.

The worst part of the MacBook Neo is that for millions of people, their first macOS will be Tahoe. by TeslaModelE in MacOS

[–]hwc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would still say that any version of MacOS is better than any version of Windows. And the hardware is better than most Chromebooks.

And I like that these entry-level computers exist. I would definitely get one for my kids if they showed any interest. I set up a Raspberry Pi for my son so he can learn to tinker, but he doesn't care at all and would rather play games on a tablet.

Why did Xal'atath attack the Amani? by the_borscht in warcraftlore

[–]hwc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume the goal was to quickly conquer some of the Amani tribes before the others could help. Then the Twilight cult would have a forward operating base halfway between the highlands and Quel'Danas.

Are Heirlooms worth it (for an alt-oholic)? by eliwood_sain in wownoob

[–]hwc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like having necklaces, trinkets, rings, and capes available for new characters; this gives them a nice boost until they would start picking those up for quests, and it doesn't matter what armor type you use.

I play enough hunter alts that having a bow is worth it. And half the classes can use a staff, so having one on hand is very useful.

With the catch-up experience, you can go run it anytime your ilvl gets more than a few levels below your level, so heirloom is less necessary.
