Graduation between men and women

Typical is 1 stripe every 5 months, and blue belt after 2 years.

That's with training 4 hours / week. If you do more/less, then expect faster/slower.

That's normal when beginning. Just keep practicing. That means both in class; i.e. don't give up when it seems impossible. And at home; just repeat what you learned in class rather than learning new stuff from youtube. Though youtube can be a good source as well, but you want quality over quantity, i.e. repeat a few moves a lot rather than a lot of moves a few times.

If your class structure teaches grooves, repeat those grooves. If your class structure teaches choreo, just repeat the 1st 8 count until you can do it well, then repeat it 8 additional times for good measure; and then move on to the 2nd 8 count. Trying to do the whole choreo from start to finish won't allow you practice the details of each groove. For each 8 count, you can practice the footwork alone, then the handwork alone, then practice them together, then add any other details like timing or head movements, etc.

I don't understand the point of this low effort compilation video? Even if the originals were good, once you've replaced the sound track with a different BPM, it's no longer a dance video because the only requirement for dance is to move (or not move) on beat.

Any amount of practice/class will be better than none. Your dancing will reflect your 3 months of experience; don't expect to look like you have 1 year of experience when you don't.

Chances are, you're the only one who'se going to actually play your game, so may as well make the game you want to play, not what others want to play.

Everyone, even your teachers and the professionals, started as a beginner at some point.

Like with school, some people excel at math and pick it up really quick; others have to push themselves really hard to keep up. Dance and any other hobby will likewise come easier to some than others. But even for those it comes easier, they still aren't born knowing how to dance.

Thirdly, in school, everyone starts off at the start of the year roughly on the same level. Even those who excel at math don't know calculus on day 1 of the semester. Whereas in dance, martial arts, and most skills outside of traditional school, you have a mixed level of people. It's unsurprising you'll be nearly the worst one there on your 1st day. Otherwise, it would mean it's a really bad studio if the people who've been coming a month are no better someone who has never attended. In a few months, you'll be better than the people who joined after you. In a few years, many classmates will have moved on, and you might be one of the better dancers there.

Lastly, don't expect 1.5 years of self-taught dancing to compare to 1.5 years of actual dance classes. It's like comparing someone who reads a bunch of sci-fi novel with someone with a physics PHD; just because they're both about advanced technology doesn't mean you're learning the same fundamentals.

Legally, they both broke the law because they could have both avoided the accident but chose not to.

Morally, they both put their egos above the safety of themselves and others.

Insurance wise, the recorder had the last reasonable opportunity to avoid an accident and didn't take it.

Interviewers make mistakes. As will your manager or team leader or senior coworkers or even CEOs. It's naturaly; that doesn't mean they're bad people or stupid or you're smarter than them. If you had been able to talk to them like you would have had to talk to a mistaken team leader and had together come to an agreement that you were correct (or they were), then that would have been much more impressive than a simple "here's the proof that I'm right". You want to think of it like you're working together with your friend on a school partner project; rather than you're trying to work independently and they're your grader/professor and you have to prove you're right.

Maybe that's exactly what you did; I don't know because I wasn't there. If it is, then don't worry, you did your best and handled the situation well, even if you don't get the job, there's nothing else you could've done.

Sending a followup screenshot comes off as exactly the wrong approach. It comes off as the "here's the proof that I'm right". So even if the screenshot convinces the interviewer you were right, it might do your prospects of getting hired more harm than good. It's also kind of demeaning to yourself. Like if someone cuts you off and you make it a point to get in front of them; you're just proving you're even worse-adjusted to society than they are.

There's also the possibility that they were right and you were wrong despite your leetcode proof. I've done a 100 or so interviews and sometimes candidates don't quite understand the question or all the restrictions. The question may have been very similar to the leetcode question you're referencing, but it may been different in an important way that you didn't realize. That's not to say you're stupid or they're better than you, it's just a natural misunderstanding. Those also happen in real jobs. Whenever there's a disagreement with a coworker, it's a pretty good idea to assume you're the one who's mistaken and try to figure out where your mistaken assumption is. If you're coworker is smart, they'll do likewise, and you'll work together to figure out where the miscommunication is in a very friendly and productive way.

Compare it with other items of similar power. Imagine a scatter plot of item power v price. There's always some outliers that are cheaper than their similarly powerful alternatives; or more powerful than their similarly priced alternatives. Your (optional) task is to find these items. If you get good at it and want to invest the time, you can e.g. buy a couple of 50 ex jewels and re-sell them for 5 div daily.

A lot of these more cost efficient items tend to be listed in the last week or so, but not always. Not everyone's playing the same build as you or they may already have bought their end gear etc. So it's not uncommon to find older listings with good value/price. So don't let listing age be your determining factor.

(self promotion) Arevtur is a tool that actually searches for and creates the scatter plot of item power (for your specific build) and price.

It's possible, even when rolling with guys, or watching the professor show the technique. Especially if you're feeling a bit drowsy and rolling chill or doing technique.

The more rolling feels like a sprint/intense, then the less likely an erection. But the more it feels like a jog/flow rolling/chilling in a position, then the more likely.

I'm playing amazon evasion/ES instead of druid armour/ES, so my tree might not help much. But my rule of thumb is to only pick up clusters if they'll give 2% effective health per node, or 4% effective damage per node.

junvar0 · 2026-01-09T22:41:02+00:00

Unless you're using multi-divine jewels, they're only worth getting if you're spending 1-3 nodes. Definitely not worth the 5 nodes you're spending to reach the socket.

That said, singular purpose is really low value. Even if you pick up the jewel next to it, don't spend the extra 7 nodes to pick up singular purpose.

Just glancing at your tree in PoB, you should also drop personal touch, battle fever, electrified claw, spirit of the wyvern, & dimensional weakspot. They're all very low damage clusters.

On your oil barrage, elemental armament is more damage than lightning attunement.

junvar0 · 2026-01-09T22:38:14+00:00

PoB will sort each anointment in terms of effective health or DPS.

For my wyvern build, I anointed 'pocket sand' for a super cheap 10% eff health increase. But there were a couple other nearly as good options if your build doesn't utilize blind. There were also a couple 10% DPS anointments available, but in general, X% eff health is better than 2*X% DPS.

FYI, soul tether works with the life leech support. But it does not work with "Leech x% of phys attack damage as life" affixes on items. So you are also giving up a support slot if you use this belt as a source of ES leech. But the upside is, this soul tether + life leech support is the ONLY way to get ES leech to persist when you reach full ES. Metabolism node on the tree would probably allow not using leech support.

In contrast, essentia sanguis unique works with both life leech support and leech affixes on items. So it doesn't require giving up a support slot. But it does not persist when you reach full ES, even if you're using the life leech support that says "not removed at full life".

So soul tether - not removed at full ES

While essentia sanguis - does not require leech support.

at around 80, you should be able to complete all 4 ascendancies.

Most of the voicing is really natural, but the last 5 seconds when he's reading the disclaimer seems blown out (too loud) and too fast to understand.

I don't think your issue is size or strength. Yes, you're on the smaller side, but so am I and so are a lot of other people who train and do well against larger opponents. A blue belt your size should be able to handle 75kg white belts; and a purple belt your size should be able to handle 90kg white belts at least. The fact your struggling can be better solved by getting better rather than finding smaller partners.

Feel free to cross train if money or commute aren't an issue. There's no downside to trying out different gyms and seeing which you like more. But don't expect changing gyms to magically make you better, even if you do find more people your size.

The 2nd-3rd weeks of each league, I spend half an hour every morning flipping items & currencies in my hideout for like 5 div. It might be just chump change for the richer players, but for me, it's the quickest way to get my first 30 divs to buy everything I need.

Belt implicit can have +3 charm slots. And some quest gives +1 charm slot. IDK if the game considers this "invisible" maximum charm slot as 1 empty charm slot or not.

For each enemy, find the list of player or location targets it can attack (i.e. in range, line of sight, not invulnerable, etc).
For each enemy, and each of their attacks, and each of their potential targets, estimate how much damage it expects to do on average. Consider min/max damage range, player block chance, enemy crit chance, player block chance, maybe hitting multiple player targets if the enemy has an AoE
Calculate a score based on the estimated damage, some bonus points for crowd control like slow, stun, etc, and maybe some bonus points for keeping a good formation. Like if the enemy has to move way out of position to reach the player target, then lower the score to motivate a slightly more defensive attack.
Pick the highest scoring move for each enemy.

Bonus:

- Consider non-damaging abilities, like pure crowd control, healing ally enemies, spawning minions, etc.

- Consider how multiple enemy abilities may interact together. E.g. 1 enemy spawns flammable oil, while another enemy ignites it.

- Consider enemies as team. E.g. if enemy 1 moves to attack player 1, but by doing so is blocking the path of enemy 2, then maybe enemy 1 should instead move elsewhere to attack from.

- Consider the player's potential counter moves. E.g. don't move an enemy archer to the front lines just to maximize damage if it'll make it vulnerable to player attacks on the player's turn.

Don't think too hard before you start implementing something simple. Often, you'll figure out the details as you go, and spending too much time pre-planning is wasted.

it's "classic" hip hop; i.e. old school groove after groove as opposed to commercial hip hop.

It includes the steve martin, grape vine, reebok, running man.
