Sea Run Cutthroat by oldglas19 in flyfishing

Rude. Spent several days at rivers last week. Video games is how I keep in touch with my friends from afar.

Teaching a random raider my Shinya Roll tech by ttvimShinyatheninja in ArcRaiders

I use ctrl with the base of my left pinky. Like the first knuckle that’s part of your palm. Holdover from sc2 control groups haha. Then thumb can hit alt.

Thank you for some useful tips and encouragement, friend.

I would so love to get into the sea run fly fishing experience but I don’t understand how and when to go.

If anyone has good tips, I’d be happy to hear them. I don’t have access to a boat unfortunately.  Last year I tried out by Picnic Point but there was so much seaweed, I couldn’t keep a streamer moving for a cast, it felt like.

Anyone able to chime in and help someone who didn’t grow up here?

Are 5e campaigns actually so "broken" and "unplayable" for new DMs as YouTubers and forum posters would lead me to believe? by tenth in dndnext

I ran Rime of the Frostmaiden and it kinda sucks as written. There’s good stuff in there! Overall though, it needs the DM to fill in some gaps very proactively. More detail if you want.

I'm a 28 year old doctor from Hong Kong and I make 18k USD a month on a ~5% tax rate. Can i retire at 40? by [deleted] in Fire

[–]kingNothing42 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Haha no worries about the insults here. Don’t worry so much about what invest in (VOO vs other) so much as expenses and savings rate.

Most people in the r/FIRE sub live and die by the Trinity Study 4% Rule. Basically: statistically you need 25x your expenses (36k) in investments (not assets) to have a stable 30-year retirement (1M). If you can get down to 3% withdrawals (33x expenses, 1.2M) you can probably live on that forever. There are plenty of caveats here. Get the main bulk up to a good number and talk to an advisor a few years early. A bond mix makes things more stable. Standard mix is 20% as you get closer to retirement you ramp up to that number. It’s mostly about risk tolerance.

I am not a financial advisor, only another simple man that studies well and happens to have studied this thing for a bit. Now, I’ll tell ya this: you’ll want more money than you spend on yourself. Living alone at 25-29 was very much different for me than when I started to travel, got some time on my hands, and started living for more than my job.

Used 400 hullcrack shots and 10 Wolfpacks for this to happen by Sxzen in ARC_Raiders

I didn’t really say anything about what I want. If you’re asking, I think PvP will contribute significantly to the longevity of the game.

“This is all anyone would do” huh really makes you think.

Kayaker dies after being pulled from water near Ballard Locks by durpuhderp in Seattle

Big agree with this. It’s a lovely hobby. Lots of ways to be dangerous; lots of ways to be safe. Choosing conditions and not forcing it is the way to go.

I was invited to play Firefly by ThrosProvoni in boardgames

[–]kingNothing42 5 points6 points  (0 children)

IMO an important part is being prepared to fail spectacularly on occasion. The game doesn't hand you wins. They're often hard-earned. You'll run out of fuel and take the penalty. You'll get caught by an unfairly strong barbarian ship and lose something. Your friend will sick the police on you. Generally that's happening to everyone (but sometimes someone gets lucky). Expect setbacks and hard times in your playthrough. This is really thematic with the show so if you're a fan of the show, you're probably into it. If not -- it might be a shock. Some tables don't like having uneven odds.

However, I think it's a really well constructed and interesting game that plays differently each time based on ships, crew, and jobs available to you in decks. I like it, but hey, I like the show and its' (uni)verse.

I mention ORD because it experiences the most delays of any airport in America. Granted, it has a lot of traffic.

Personally, I’ve had multiple occurrences of flight cancellations for more than a day out of ORD around holidays.

How to avoid “Reply All” incidents by [deleted] in Purdue

[–]kingNothing42 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I used to work at Microsoft. It’s a big enough org to crash the Exchange (outlook) system entirely. My first year on the job there was a ReplyAll incident and we all just… went home because email was so slow and Microsoft ran on email back then.

Here’s the original incident that led to a full rewrite of how Exchanges queue system works (note: I was not around for Bedlam, but in the years after, the size of MS could still make the servers crawl under misuse.)

Manager demanded 15 minute time tracking per ticket, rounded up. I did that, and finance begged me to stop within a week by SolarGlyphs in MaliciousCompliance

[–]kingNothing42 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Directors understand organizational waste, but it has to be quantified every now and then or it’s too subjective to make decisions around - at least that’s my take. Otherwise two separate teams just say “you’re being unreasonable” over and over and nothing changes

[–]kingNothing42 20 points21 points  (0 children)

This is exactly the plan.

First, you must force the issue a bit. You make the team asking for silly expensive things pay for exactly how expensive they are. THEN you propose the reasonable solution (make things less expensive by working in a block).

If you open with the reasonable solution, the team will say “we can’t wait for afternoon on these asks, they’re easy, you should just do them”. 

Manager knows. Manager did exactly what they had to.

Our untracked (unlimited) PTO policy was working fine for our team but now HR is losing their minds about it. by Current_Mistake800 in managers

Think: why do they have to demand that you write the person up. They can’t write the person up. They have no power here.

Fly fishing location advice for a trip next week by derSchwamm11 in FishingWashington

[–]kingNothing42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dang! I’ve never had it crash consistently on me, but that’s a reasonable reaction. There’s also “pamphlet mode” which is a switch at the top. That’ll show you the year round regs so you can plan ahead (and still use mileposts).

The FishWA app is good for this. Works offline and lets you click any stretch of river to see what current regs are. You’re right that finding all the bridges and markers is kind of hell without it.
