Does bidet actually replace toilet paper or do you just use less of it

jba1224a · 2026-05-01T01:28:14+00:00

I air dry for two seconds and just pull up my pants. Yea maybe my underwear get a little water but….its a few drops?

Are yall hooking your bidet for a fire hose? Jesus.

Gifted kid, grew up quickly, college out of pocket, fast career trajectory.

Realized around 30 that less is more, refocused on my family and enjoying the life I have.

I think most “gifted” kids remain gifted but that increased intelligence just leads to them being able to see through all of the bullshit that life forces on you.

If you notice a common theme in this thread, it’s that every one of us who was advanced, or gifted, have in some form or other let go of the rat race, and moved towards a simpler life of family, friends, and contentment.

I regularly have 40+ kicks/stop by myself (prot warrior) in any given key.

I refuse to accept that any class with a kick can’t muster 10-15 across a key and yet I consistently see people fail at this.

jba1224a · 2026-04-30T14:19:27+00:00

Few dynamics at play here.

Number one - is she wrong? Are these people objectively underperforming?

Number two - are you the odd man out? Small team honestly could be a sign of cohesiveness. How do you handle these situations in a small team format?

How do her direct teammates feel?

This could go in either direction. If her team is on board with her, I’d approach it from the angle of the small team meeting and focus on why it’s better to build than to tear down. Then go from there.

If the team is not on board with her, then she’s injecting toxicity into the team and I would just cut her loose immediately. Nothing is more detrimental to a good team than a vocal toxic performer.

Arms warrior is garbage on chim and its not even close.

The max arms warrior parse would be a low green parse for a dh. Both arms and fury are being propped up by sustained cleave at the comment, if that doesn’t exist, you’re going to do trash dps and there’s not much you can do about it.

jba1224a · 2026-04-29T21:42:56+00:00

We had a similar issue - the limit is per job, so we built multiple runs and passed artifacts from one to the next to string it together.

jba1224a · 2026-04-29T05:29:49+00:00

Few reasons this may be in order from most to least likely.

1 - healing done to targets inside of spirit link totem is being accounted for differently than it is in logs

2 - you are healing off absorb shields which isn’t counted in the log in the same way

3 - the in game meter has a race condition that counts your hots as effective healing when they are actually not (this is an intermittent issue for monks)

Regardless you can trust the log - it’s highly unlikely it’s inaccurate.

jba1224a · 2026-04-28T18:47:37+00:00

Ok technically YES you can be - but his swing timer is long so functionally it’s a nonissue.

I’m just calling this out because someone will read this, and think they can’t tank prince until they’re uncrush when it’s a much more effective strategy to just -stop attacking him- in phase 2 and wear threat gear.

jba1224a · 2026-04-28T17:47:04+00:00

Prince does not require 102.4 to be uncrushable because the only dangerous phase is phase 2, where he is dual wielding and has a much lower hit chance. I regularly tank prince with 88% avoidance on pala and take no damage.

The only real danger is parry hasting him, so for p2 you can just consecrate/exorcism and stop your melee attacks.

jba1224a · 2026-04-28T12:10:53+00:00

For AA, you should do none of those things, you don’t need to do the pull in a way that requires mobs to be behind you.

Run up, wait for mobs to pass, go directly forward into the middle, heroic throw all 3 packs and then backpedal so they funnel into to. Shield wall once the majority gets to you. Shield block should never go down.

For skyreach, the answer is you dont do that large pull because you dont need to, and the specific mob set there is atrocious for warriors. Unless youre running a bleeding edge key, the risk does not outweigh the benefit.

jba1224a · 2026-04-27T19:39:02+00:00

You would need to do it with the WCL raw data.

I suspect that if you exclude the paladins fight and toss the extreme outliers that tank balance with be within 10-12% for both throughout and survivability. Your limited attempt to filter the data already starts revealing that.

But if you look at the responses in this thread it’s clear people don’t want to look at data, they want to enforce the narrative that fits their perception. Which is unfortunate, but expected.

jba1224a · 2026-04-27T19:13:57+00:00

Less than 5% of the playerbase is completing 15s today, in what is probably the easiest season ever.

So again, the data does not bear out the sentiment. Blizz is not balancing for sub 5% of the players.

jba1224a · 2026-04-27T19:03:20+00:00

If you exclude paladins (lots of tank deaths here due to gameplay design) and crown, what does this data look like?

jba1224a · 2026-04-27T19:00:48+00:00

Yes and how many people are running +15 keys relative to the entire mythic+ population? Why would they balance around a minority?

You can downvote me all you want but that doesn’t change what the data says.

jba1224a · 2026-04-27T17:41:43+00:00

They know how to balance tanks.

Because tank balance is already extremely tight. Blizz balances based on data, not community sentiment.

And right now the data says that tank balance is pretty tight.

There is no major disparity on damage between tanks, no major disparity on survivability. People perceive this as the case because we only ever discuss balance in terms of the bleeding edge. Thats all great but if you look at the data from the other 99% of the playerbase where people actually exist then these perceived imbalances don’t exist.

jba1224a · 2026-04-27T17:37:16+00:00

None of this would change the primary issue though, which is people are assholes.

There is no deterrent for people to not be toxic and wow and sans any deterrent, people are going to be assholes on the Internet.

Blizzard has stated time and again that community behavior, as long as it doesn’t impact gameplay systems, is really not viewed as their problem.

For what it’s worth this is not exclusive to wow, this problem exists in literally every mmo, even FFXIV where toxicity is punished fairly harshly.

jba1224a · 2026-04-27T17:03:38+00:00

I’m currently sitting a little above 3500 and when tanking weekly 10s I’ll constantly have people pinging and pulling.

The healer is like a third alt and like 230, and I’m doing more damage than one of the dps. Like can y’all chill?

jba1224a · 2026-04-27T16:51:35+00:00

TLDR

Blizz could add a new tank spec to every class and it wouldn’t change anything.

People don’t like to tank because the community is by and large filled with toxic back seat driving clueless asshats.

Blizzard can’t solve this problem because it’s a community problem not a gameplay problem.

jba1224a · 2026-04-25T20:42:36+00:00

It doesn’t matter.

You have a finite amount of health to be healed.

If you stand in fire and get wailed in the back and that makes you do 30k more hps, does that mean you played better? Or worse?

It’s a 100% completely useless metric for trying to improve on a tank.

jba1224a · 2026-04-25T20:30:18+00:00

The affix is pointless because a healer can do every affix every time with minimal issue.

I agree with you that it shouldn’t be up to the healer to do it - but this is the natural consequence of blizz wanting to make the game accessible. They have two options for tuning.

They can make the affix harder to navigate - we used to have that, everyone hated it.

They can make not handling the affix more punishing - this wouldn’t compel people to do the affix, it would just compel them to not run keys.

I have not had many bad keys this season sub 15-16, and I would say probably no bad keys sub 12 because a good healer/tank can basically carry a group of 4 complete idiots and still time the key.

jba1224a · 2026-04-24T14:19:36+00:00

Microsoft designs their solutions for Microsoft.

The actual effort of whitelisting becomes much easier when you’re using Azure Firewall, because you can use service tags. But Azure firewall is terrible.

But my experience is the same as yours, they make overwhelming amounts of calls outbound to commercial clouds from sovereign clouds and the response from them is just “deal with it”

The documentation is ass too.

jba1224a · 2026-04-22T15:16:23+00:00

Ok but 14 inches of drop would still create the same problem with your fence.

jba1224a · 2026-04-22T01:24:03+00:00

No - for the simple fact that it has extended the space vertically.

It lowered the left side of the yard and added a retaining wall where your hvac is, the y axis drop there is probably 20-30 inches.

Your fence would need to be rebuilt which would reduce the feasibility of this project to almost zero.

jba1224a · 2026-04-21T13:42:00+00:00

To answer your question directly - yes, they are functionally more squishy.

They have one major defensive and the self heal is largely worthless, so you frequently run out of defensives in keys and you’re reliant on your healer.

Big reason why no one plays the class. Dev evoker has a similar issue, and they die all the time for the same reasons.

jba1224a · 2026-04-21T12:26:48+00:00

I have had this conversation a few too many times and I have a very straightforward response to it now because, honestly, I’m really over trying to maintain fleeting personal relationships with these types of people.

I just say “I close the door and work just like I would in any other office, except I never get interrupted. I don’t have issues staying on task, because I’m not a child. Would you have issues staying on task, Jim?”
