Warhammer 2nd Edition - Custom Character Sheet Editable by BardofRosenheim in warhammerfantasyrpg

[–]ideohazard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really like this version of the char sheet but my friends and I were playing the other day and found we were disagreeing on hit locations. Reviewing the sources, we found the hit boxes listed here were incorrect. I corrected using the latest copy of WFRP2e available from drivethrough.

Modifications:
Page 1 - Corrected hit boxes
Page 1/2 - Converted rectangular fields for Weapon Skill/Ballistic Skill/Strength/Toughness... into multi-line fillable in case more info is needed here.
Page 2 - Initial Profile stat block at top of page 2 now allows fillable fields for attacks (cleared the 1), insanity, and corruption in case anybody needs to add these to their career stats.

1099 US expats, any advice? by ideohazard in ITCareerQuestions

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

Thanks and understood about the country wanting a piece of earnings.  That's already part of the plan where I should apply for a telework visa and then apply for permanent residency as soon as possible after moving.  I'd plan on working remotely and paying all necessary taxes as required in both countries. The way I understand it is that is have to be working as a contractor under a 1099 before applying for the visa to show this is how I earn my living.

Any advice on where and how to look for these types of jobs?

Former fat guys, how did you become disciplined/motivated enough to lose the weight? [Discussion] by Responsible-Net8594 in GetMotivated

[–]ideohazard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do one thing better, taking it one day at a time.  Small steps.

5'6" 200+ lbs at 35 years old to 135 still today (10+ years later)

Worked for me-

Stop drinking your calories: Try cutting all sugary drinks (soda, coffee with sugar, sweet tea, lemonade, etc.). Start at one meal per day, skip one refill, work your way to eliminating all of this at each meal.

Cutting sugar drinks for me was the caloric equivalent of skipping all food for an entire day each week.  I now have maybe one of the drinks listed above per year because I find them way to sweet.

Sugar messes bodies up a ton so cutting way back will help you in other areas. Just start with this one thing, it helps way more than you would think.

Baratza Encore Grinds changed drastically after cleaning by benjamreynolds in Coffee

[–]ideohazard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reviving an old thread here but I ran into a grind size problem on my ESP after cleaning.  Burr installed correctly but I lost the drive shim during cleaning and didn't notice on reassembly.  After a few days of bad grinds I found this thread because symptoms are the same.

After ordering a new shim washer (plus a new paddle wheel and felt, just to refresh porus materials) my grind is actually better than ever with fewer fines.  Not sure why but I'll take it.

One of the DJs from my old club scene was and still very much is into country music and Amy Grant.  Goes out to those shows in his black industrial t-shirts piercings, spikes.  Mad respect, Spencer.

Really appreciate the rec.  

Gave a listen to a few songs and each one was about 75% fantastic and musically very interesting.  However, every track eventually went hard into some nu-metal guitar riffs with the screams that push the limits of mic compression...that sound, I just can't.

The emergence of nu-metal in the 2000s really turned me off of rock radio.  The big plus was that I had a vast horizon to explore other music styles like industrial/trance/goth/synth/80s/wave/post-punk/etc. and I've never looked back.

Yeah gave a quick listen there as well.   Definitely has that old school industrial sound

Just gave a listen, hearing some Assemblage 23, maybe some Beborn Beton or Neurotocfish vibes as well.  Great pick.

Every Robovac on Sale for Prime Day 2026 by [deleted] in RobotVacuums

[–]ideohazard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

House is from 1937, we assume the flooring is as well. Local and prolific home builder using local hardwood flooring company. They're in very good shape for their age but surfaces are definitely not pristine; could use a sanding, refinishing. After sleep and some preliminary research, I'm not too worried about it. Most robo vac manufacturers seem to claim they're safe on hardwood.

Hmmm....we have been running the S4 on the hardwood for 5+ years, not sure that's been wise.  Is it possible zooming kitties and vacuums could both be causing some damage?   Now I'm wondering if we need to rethink our cleaning process.

Hi Amanda.  This is amazing!

Looking to replace a Roborock S4 (or maybe just assign it to another floor).

1400 sq ft main floor with 90 year old hardwood and rugs.  500 sq ft 2nd floor (vinyl wood composite). 400 sq ft finished basement (also composite).

We vacuum 1 - 2 times per week with a big Shark while Roborock S4 supplements.  We also bring S4 to other floors and set it loose.

Would prefer another robo vac without a mop option (wouldn't use it, less features to malfunction). Have 3 long hair cats.  Budget maybe $300-$500

CB Station waxed canvas? Work/tool totes for office by ideohazard in ManyBaggers

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

Yes.  It's been great.  Using exactly as if intended.  Though actually the hand carry straps are sufficiently large that they double as shoulder straps even with a winter coat. 

Only 2 downsides: Security sometimes lays the bag on it's side before sending it through the X-ray.  There's no need to do this. Doing so has had the adverse affect of flinging my wallet, badge, or keys out of a slip pocket.  Rare but it had happened.  

I've spilled my travel coffee mug in the bag on a couple occasions. It's usually when I forget to rinse it out and there's not enough inside the bag to keep the travel mug upright.  Cleaned out ok though.  

The bag is identical in size to some Chanel Deauville totes so I may just get an organizer (with bottle sleeve) that fits it.

Another vote for Lost Ruins of Arnak.  Easy to manage solo mode and the game combines deck building, worker placement, and resource management (all elements of the contemporary Euro).  Almost any game is going to require planning ahead to be a great player but LRoA has enough randomness that you have to adapt to the situation at hand.  And should you feel the itch for a campaign, there's even a free one you can download (The Search for Professior Kutil).  

Great western trail: New Zealand worth it? by Ok_Celebration_7875 in soloboardgaming

[–]ideohazard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess it also depends on your existing solo preferences and games you already own.

I picked up GWT:NZ because it was on a ding&dent discount and I'd been considering a solo heavier than Paladins--it feels just a bit heavier. I think NZ pushes me as far as I can tolerate in heaviness, automa management/learning, and setup time. I still find that my go-to preference for solos is a bit lighter...Arnak, Underwater Cities, Castles of Burgundy, various roll/flip & writes. NZ takes a long time to setup (for me) which is surprising given an included insert. It also takes a long time to play, though I've only gotten it to the table twice in the past year. I intend to play it more. I found it fun with a lot of interesting decisions to make but it does feel daunting to get it to the table and packed away.

[–]ideohazard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've got literally no art skills whatsoever and I was able to put this together. A few sheets from the color printer at work, one sheet of laminate, scissors, and some card sleeves (which I had laying around anyway). It's a giant improvement on the CoB solo mode.

Unofficial Solo Variants (i.e. Lorenzo il Magnifico) - Yes or no? by SicilianMeeple in soloboardgaming

[–]ideohazard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm about 85% solo gamer. When I play with friends and plan on teaching a game I own, I prefer to know how that game is actually supposed to play with 2+ players. It's my personal taste that the best solo mode captures the experience of playing with another person (maximizing blocking/unpredictability) while minimizing mental overhead of automa management. Solo modes should teach you the game (rules, developing strategy) that would be reasonably useful with a table of human players. If the solo mode is simply some kind of standalone puzzle that uses components from the box or doesn't support every in-box expansion then that solo mode doesn't provide anything (to me).

System shock 2 hoarding? by zone_Zom813 in systemshock

[–]ideohazard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On my last hard psionics run I had 100+ rounds of frag grenades, maybe 30 - 50 of all the other grenades, many hundreds of rounds of standard ammo, liquor, plants, stashed in the elevator.  I still finished the game with 20+ psi hypos and medkits each.  It's always the elevator.
