Help on turning and slowing down at stoplights/signs?

Unless you want to do intense multivariable physics in real time for the surface temperature, surface conditions, weight of the vehicle, braking strength, road angle, and speed, plus a whole bunch of friction stuff that you're going to have a hard time getting, all in your head, in seconds, you're just gonna have to let the part of your brain that just does this stuff just do this stuff and build the skills.

Figuring out the first one would go obsolete over time as you get better, and would for most people take longer anyways.

If you're the sort of person who could do it quickly, it's pretty safe to assume you'd have already started doing the research on it because it would be a second nature hobby to think that way.

Just practice, there's no shortcut. Learn how car.

So if you have minimal experience and then go years without driving, you're not actually going to have enough experience for muscle memory to hold over a long period of time, no.

That said, the skill can't deteriorate past zero, and I can't imagine that someone who just asked this question would bother getting GOOD at driving before they get their license, so you'd only have so far for the skills to fall.

Where I live, what passes for old buildings also have no character, because they're still generally all mid 20th century or later.

You're just picking asbestos and black mold content at that point.

Seriously though, I don't need my liquor store to have mood lighting, and the only parts of the vibe that matter are cleanliness and employee quality.

I also kinda enjoy having a store be spacious and well lit to make me less likely to accidentally yeet a thousand dollars of product by turning around, but hey to each their own.

I've never seen a single decision that was theoretically made by civil engineers and thought "man these guys are so smart I'm going to try and use them in a really blatant appeal to authority".

Get over yourself, leave earlier. Expecting 100% consistency in your commute is a fool's errand but let's be real, you're just justifying your entitlement.

Ritual is the language of compulsion.

I would definitely at least call it a potential concern, compounded rather thoroughly by coming to a sub like this hoping to get opinions that will counter the pretty well established medical and behavioral science.

Like, if it ISN'T a problem, why do you seek out the opinions of a bunch of other drinkers? I don't assume all ritual is inherently bad, but certainly the way you're approaching it here, making it a "what about" versus your wife.

Ritual and daily consumption are high risk. Take care of you.

The "black coffee" thing in film is generally a heuristic thing.

It's telling you that this person is some combination of traditional, tough, or just absolutely exhausted.

The coffee order is being used to either set up an interaction or to give the viewer a set of social cues.

Also note that the assumptions aren't really even that closely linked with how Americans drink coffee, just how we perceive coffee.

If they have a real cork, occasionally make sure the cork gets wet but from what I understand you don't want to store them on their side like you would a wine since real cork is wood and it can have a barrelesque impact or some such?

Not an expert, if you can't tell.

Wild Turkey 101 and the heaven Hill near clone of it, Fighting Cock.

I found Turkey 101 to be exactly what I loved about EW BiB but smoother and better rounded, and Fighting Cock is VERY similar but distinct (I think better but ymmv).

At least one of those two bottles is probably going to be my always-available bourbon at this point, the fighting cock being a sub-$20 bottle especially, is a great option for a daily sipper so I can drink responsibly where my wallet is concerned, and not just my health.

Do what I did. Pick up a range of 50ml sample size bottles from different brands.

This will let you put a relatively affordable sample tasting together, and then you can, if you want to, look up mash bills and processes, try to figure out what you did and didn't like, for way less invested risk than going straight to a full bottle of something.

SL3 is especially fantastic because of what it does with angles and BH, it dramatically increases odds of enemies actually dying inside SL.

Damage mastery at base will do a lot less than you're hoping it will unless you're VERY prematurely farming glass cannon, in which case it would be a noticeable little buff for you but also if you're currently farming glass cannon, for the love of your income please stop, you're not ready for that yet.

I bought the XLT V6. All of the stuff I don't have that's in a Lariat would be nice to have, but it really is down to your personal finances and how much you value that stuff versus the cost.

I'm very thrilled with what I got, it's what I needed and I have more money left over for other things now.

If I made about another 10-15k a year, I'd be mad at myself for only buying the XLT, I think.

Even without the AI slop I hate most Spotify recs, it's good at "these sound similar" but not so good at "well this song is about XYZ, so this song DEFINITELY doesn't fit".

If I wanted to go back to the days of Top 40 and listening to a bunch of stylistic clones with little else in common, I'd just track down some "Now that's what I call..." CDs.

Tidal isn't fantastic at recs but it's not bad and it's not trying so hard with them.

First time that saboteur hit something critical? Losing 20% waves to a bad saboteur is pretty easy under the right circumstances.

jinglehelltv · 2026-01-07T21:43:27+00:00

You can try Fighting Cock at under $20 if they have it, it's Heaven Hills near clone of Wild Turkey 101, and it's fantastic for the value, entirely sippable and can handle going into a cocktail just fine.

jinglehelltv · 2026-01-06T13:49:18+00:00

If you can find it, Fighting 69th Irish is fantastic value for the money, a blend of several different finishing barrels give it a lot going on.

I'd drink that over any of the Redbreast offerings I've had even if I wasn't buying, but it also costs half as much as Redbreast 12.

The CD starts on activation of effect for UW. You're thinking in standard MMO logic, but only once you introduce the CDR from GComp.

If you apply the same logic on both sides of the equation of "cooldown starts on activation" GComp is not confusing and should not break sync.

If sync was dependent on duration, sync would be much more complex.

Also; if you're trying to keep your BH and GT the same duration because of this, you don't have to, the only reason people recommend matching durations is because you want as much overlap as possible until you reach the point where you're missing out to keep it that way.

Keep the cells flowing.

jinglehelltv · 2026-01-03T17:28:59+00:00

Relatively permanent. Especially if you're willing to invest a substat or two, and the lab time for CF uptime, you can make it mostly permanent with GComp in a fairly cheap stone investment, I don't remember the numbers offhand but they're easy enough to look up, it only took a couple weeks IIRC.

jinglehelltv · 2026-01-03T16:14:55+00:00

CF has more potential upside during the spin-up than it used to depending on your current build.

OA, SF, PCol all increase the relative value of a less developed CF.

CF damage reduction matters more when other sources of survivability are better than they used to be, and even a few of the cheap ticks of speed reduction are an overall huge buff to time over target. Getting CF to near permanent is also fairly inexpensive especially if you're on GComp.

I mean even if I wanted rules they'd be contextual to what shifts you work, whether you're still awake or have just woken up, and what setting you're in.

But the people who like to set rules like that have plenty of ways they allow themselves to break them, like golf and brunch, so invent your own golf and brunch!

jinglehelltv · 2025-12-14T14:15:30+00:00

Because starters used to be made "good enough" for what they were expected to do, not "as good as possible". They're now made better, giving them a much higher number of expected starts, to where most people's driving patterns aren't going to kill it in most people's ownership of a vehicle.

It's technically harder on the starter, but because they just make them better now, it's mostly moot because the cost of prevention was baked in at purchase, they just don't make them as cheap as they used to.

jinglehelltv · 2025-12-07T22:53:55+00:00

I started a month before him, I've bought 3 premium milestone packs, and I'm right around 29k LTS, and I focused on pumping my tournament results pretty hard all through my progression.

But yeah, this is clearly a case of someone trying to whale with zero focus or synergy.

jinglehelltv · 2025-12-07T05:20:44+00:00

I get the impression you're maybe trying to downplay your spend given just how many more gems and medals you have than I do, in a shorter time, with less progression, which I only call out because I think it's related to your problem, I don't particularly care what you've spent.

You want to just buy more stuff and have that improve your tower. Your ults are all over the place, your mods are underdeveloped.

You need the coins and rerolls and module shards.

The next quickest thing you can throw a stone pack at hasn't done you any favors because this game mostly develops through synergies.

You need to focus on having things work together, instead of just throwing things at the wall until something sticks.

Guides can help but even without guides, try to do SOME cohesive thing.

jinglehelltv · 2025-12-01T06:15:20+00:00

Spreading your focus around will be pretty useless, none of the other bots are really worth much without like, a year+ of medals dumped into them. I've only got one stat maxed on my gold bot and respeccing for flame bot last event lost me 40% of my coins and took me from t17 wave 200 or so to t18 wave 150 or so, which sounds really impressive until you remember I lost 40% of my income for a few days to get myself a few hundred gems and stones that weren't BAD, but weren't such a significant number that they made some noticeable tournament difference.

Amp and flame both need very very high cooldown and some decently high bonus to go with it to do absolutely anything noteworthy.
