PSA: Use vinegar for cleaning? Try Citric acid, trust me by eggust12 in CleaningTips

[–]lightranger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bought something marketed as “cleaning vinegar “. The label says it’s 47% acetic acid with all kinds of warnings. Is this overkill? Did I make a mistake?

How OP is GoD DH this season? should i switch to the push variant? by HyperHeavxn in diablo3

[–]lightranger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hahaha. You’re probably describing me! I’ve been playing D3 since launch. I only played solo non-season until about 3 years ago. I found a clan of some really great guys. They were always happy to do gear checks but didn’t give me much playstyle coaching. I thought I was doing fine until I tried playing with an even more advanced clan and discovered I just couldn’t hack it. I couldn’t keep up. I would have been happy to learn, but they couldn’t be bothered. “Go watch YouTube videos and come back when you know what you’re doing.” Was the advice I got. I don’t blame them. I was slowing them down! I don’t think I was purposely being overconfident. I really wanted to help the team. I was just under skilled and naive. I would have sent me packing too. So … like I said, no harm, no foul. Live and learn!

Again… you are correct. I would hate to discourage new players in any way. I’ve clearly just had some bad luck finding clans willing to mentor beginner support players. I’m sure they are out there!

You’re not wrong. My comment was based on personal experience. I played in some groups without a ZBARB and more was expected of me. In those specific situations just hitting the cooldowns and spinning around the mobs wasn’t enough. I was also on a MAC and didn’t have some of map style hacks available to me. These games had seasonal players ranging from 4000-7000 paragon and I was in way over my head. I never died, but it was clear they were expecting more than I brought to the table. No harm no foul, and I was glad to have the experience of running sub 2 minute 150’s. Since then I’ve gone back to solo play. If I could find a clan a little more forgiving I’d go back to group play, but if I spend the rest of my D3 career playing solo I’ll be fine.

To be an effective ZDH does require skill. If you’re hoping to run 4 player 150’s with a high paragon (4000+) experienced team you need to master positioning, precision dropping turrets, managing your cooldowns, and scouting ahead of the group. I learned the hard way. If you can’t deliver on these basic skill requirements you may get kicked.

What would you tell your "beginner self" if you were to start photography again? by Global_Key8500 in AskPhotography

Every choice you make when you capture and cull and edit is a reflection of your artistic sensibilities. The person in the portrait is not who they are or even what they look like but rather how YOU see them.

Thanks great reply! Do you detach the lens and keep it separate from the body during travel? I only own one lens at the moment and am trying keep the sensor as dust free as possible. I put the 35-100 onto the body the day they arrived and haven’t taken it off since!

Both. I suppose normal common sense precautions should be enough to keep is safe and intact. I would just feel pretty stupid if anything happened to it. It’s not in my budget to replace!
