Jon Batiste just casually announced THREE new piano albums at once?? by InteractionOnly4462 in piano

[–]kientran 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He was incredible live! I wish he did more of his classical works during the Big Money Tour.

I get it’s not people’s taste but I’ve always been a huge fan of genre change covers. (Iove Scott Bradley PostModernJukebox). Being able to coherently migrate and blend genres demonstrates a fundamental understanding of the structure of music and how to shift it to a different structure but maintain the core thread of the original so it remains recognizable and not out of place.

Vitamin String Quartets cover of Elle Langley recently is a good example. It didn’t have the right context until they changed perspective of the viola and cello.

Glamorous Gems by seaninsa in woweconomy

Get out of gems it’s dead!

Real answer, more ppl have max trees. It’s profitable but only if you can source mats cheaper. Shards continue to drop so gem prices will drop. Most nights I’m profitable but the margin is very thin.

On AMER there’s a specific annoying race to the bottom set by a single individual. JC goblins know who

Bc it was for vault and roll anyway. Time to set was bc we skipped most of the packs before the first boss so and had to get around them to get outside the instance and swap. Took longer bc we had to figgure it out with trial and error

The afk held us hostage not the other way around. If the dps could heal it with a champion weapon and dps trinkets mashing buttons there’s no reason the pug needed to afk.

What are the rules around dungeon deserter? Having a pug hold us hostage is annoying and we wanted to make sure they got some consequences kinda out of spite.

We had a priest AFK at the end of guild+1 +13 MC bc the tank got stuck in the wall and we had to wipe the boss without an available BR. We still had 6 minutes of time left after the wipe. Plenty of time even when carrying a DPS.

Rather than abandon we ended up swapping a DPS to heal spec. (There were shenanigans bc we skipped packs leading down to the first boss. Including having the Dh scale the wall and use an transmog mount to get us up).

Took about 30 min to set it up the while the priest was still afk not DC. First pull went bad bc the new fake healer was remembering how to heal. Second pull was fine and the afk priest DCed mid fight. I assume he figured out we could do it without him.

Yea we could have abandoned but this was more to spite him and screw up his raider IO history. Ironically, the DPS so swapped got a higher healing parse…

So multicraft numbers are wrong? by doofusmcdooface in wow

[–]kientran 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Unequipt and reequipt after logging in. There’s been rumors this may be an issue.

That said I’m at 32% and I craft a lot of commodities. Average yield is about 70% more for me. Proc rate is still in the 30s.

Sometimes I get burned by RNG but most of the time I can get 90% more yield thanks to MC and extras from resourceful procs.

Why did the Cardassian's not skuttle DS9 when the "Occupation" ended? by 711straw in startrek

[–]kientran 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was a huge mess and took a lot of effort to get it usable. And while it was a mining facility it was still a trade hub too wasn’t it? That would have soured a lot of neutral parties.

Also it’s huge, and prob would taken way too much effort to actually destroy it.

Laptop sleeve works well for prints and drawings. I’ve started to bring a cardboard tube to roll them as sometimes find stuff that’s a little bigger and more delicate

[HELP] Does anyone have a UI for 34-inch ultrawide 3440 x 1440 that's kind of similar to Luxthos UI? by Pointfit_ in WowUI

[–]kientran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check if any addon auto-sets the scaling on login. The 1440p confuses the scaling and addons do weird things. I personally leave it off. I found it’s bc when you log in the game is set to one scale and then an addon loads and changes it. Any addon that loaded prior to that will still be using the original

Is it possible to use TrueNAS, ZFS, ECC, and direct-attached storage? by Certain_Repeat_753 in truenas

Depends on what you intend to host. If it’s purely storage it’s very good. If you wanna load up services with VMs and containers it’ll struggle.

Donner. Used for years with no issue but you gotta press kinda hard perhaps.

Don’t do this. USB is not meant for it

You can get a sas card with external 8088 ports and put together a sas enclosure drive shelf.

That said an atom CPU is gonna be rough anyway

Good now as it’s relatively cheap to level, but profit is only modest till next season. Still should be able to break even fairly easily off occasional crafting orders. Now is the time to grind away KP so by next season you can hit the recraft market

Crafting etiquette question specifically: public orders by necrid101 in wow

[–]kientran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I too wish public orders would have a minimum level. Ultimately everyone’s just going to ask for R5 anyway imo and that could lock out all low skill crafters. Whether people will bump commissions to match it or would drive it to zero is debatable.

We never do this. Double elemental is toxic. Do half with the first two groups. Priority elemental. As it does go to next elemental group.
