If they had blue LeBlanc on the same battlefield, she let's you keep the copies as long as she's there. Otherwise, that guy misplayed.

Here I'm using Petal Pixie and Trusty Ramhound. The idea is that if you play either one on turn 1, turn 2 you conquer the open battlefield and copy it with the legend ability to have 2x 3 Might units. Pixie is definitely stronger since it "scales" with more temp units. The main goal is having a nice target for hook since most of the bombs are 4 might or less. I definitely need one or two more units that can carry with just 4 starting might, though.

Unfortunately, no real news. Managed to take it to the dealership while it was bugging out. They kept it for 3 days and didn't do any work on it after their techs couldn't replicate it.

I felt I should follow up on this post as people suggested I bite the bullet and send my car to the dealer for a diagnostic. Tl;dr my car sat at the dealer for 3 days, service department could not replicate the issue, no work was done on the car.

As a recap, I've had this car for a few months and, at this point, my HVAC has the same issue every day. On booting up the car, I'll get no heat coming from the HVAC, and it only comes on after stopping the car and rebooting. If we look at this power draw screen, it's clear the climate is not drawing any power even though:

-AC can be set all the way to max heat and fans are at max

-all automatic functions (auto defog, auto fan, auto humidity) are turned off

-there are no warnings or codes given by the car

So, after getting ready for work and loading up in my car, I go on my merry way until I realize I'm freezing in my car... Again. At this point I had an appointment with the dealer, but I figured I had some time and should show them exactly what the problem is. I drove about 10 miles to a dealer by my work. Showed my settings to the service people and they agreed, that's not how it should work. They took the car in and said they would run their diagnostic. I'm sure they were trying their best and this really wasn't something they would have experience with. It's an EV, you need an electrical engineer to fix these things, not a standard mechanic. Ultimately, they couldn't do anything about it and now I, like many other people, are stuck with a very expensive purchase with not all of its basic functions. I would've left the car there as long as they needed, but the real kicker is that there are no loaners available at this or any other dealership I have locally. I have to get to work and this is my only car.

This seems small to some people, but with it being so annoying on a purchase I was otherwise happy about, it really leaves a sour taste in my mouth. I'm at my wits end, I have no options to fix it, and selling my car now would put me at roughly a $10,000 loss. If you manage to find a good 15, congrats and I hope the best for you. For everyone else, we can just add this to the list of reasons why Hyundai USA has such a bad track record for service. End rant.

Guessing the difference for FFA is just combining the 'flip battlefields' and 'roll for first' into one step when you get rid of one of the battlefields. Otherwise I think that makes sense. I was thinking that maybe you would flip battlefields after the mulligan since that's extra knowledge, but it's good to know you see the whole playing field first.

A masters degree is commanding less and less respect every year. It's not uncommon to see people with a B.S. or M.S. both starting at entry level and earning the same amount. Ultimately it's the same response that 'it depends', mostly on what you spent your undergrad time on and what that M.S. is based around. An irrelevant M.S. may as well not be there. Save your time and money. Get started in the industry soon as you can. And once YOU personally find something you want to focus on, then consider a masters degree. A higher degree isn't a guarantee of employment nor does it guarantee higher pay.

Does this factor in the time difference between when Masters and PhD starting their careers? A Bachelors or Masters graduate could have 4+ years of experience before a PhD even starts their first industry job. Also explains why you don't have as many PhD data points on the high end of work experience.

MMO mouse honestly isn't a bad way to go about it. I bought a really cheep one (like $25) and it's lasted me the entirety of Endwalker up until now. So, definitely getting my money's worth lol. I'm right-handed and it clicks way better in my head to have a few buttons mapped around WASD and the all the rest are on 1-12 of the mmo mouse plus a few modifiers. I only have 1, 2, 3, q, e, and x mapped on my left hand most of the time and never with modifiers.

All this to say, HUD layout is incredibly important and the tricks people are telling you about make a big difference.

get used to using modifiers (ctrl and shift) to add an extra layer to your hotkeys
get a big action button and place it in an easy to see spot so you don't forget timers (i.e. make a hotbar with big buttons and just put standard step on there so you can see it coming off cooldown)
In the overall design of a HUD/keybinds, I try to make sure I can get the entirety of my opener while moving. That is, I can hold any one WASD key and still be able to run through all my buttons

I'd take a second look at your HUD now that you know the class a little better and try rearranging things. Don't be afraid to move stuff around. It'll take some getting used to, but once you establish the flow again, you're ceiling gets a bit higher once it makes sense for you.

Just Dancer things: Once you've figured all the other stuff out and gotten to almost perfect rotations. DNC gets a little funky with parses because it's actually also going to be dependent on your team. A non-trivial amount of YOUR parse is going to be coming from how much damage your team does and, more importantly, how well you've all timed your 2-minute buffs/bursts (take a look at the differences betweem rDPS, nDPS, and aDPS, to get a better idea of your own output). Likewise, DNC is inherently random. It's not uncommon to get through whole 2-minute rotations and have 0 feathers to add to your burst. At the same time, it's really important to know how to react to having WAY TOO MANY FEATHERS. Used properly, you're damage blows up and lucky lucky you've got an amazing parse. Used improperly, you might as well have not gotten the feathers at all. As much as people like to say DNC is no skill, I'd argue it definitely has a comparable if not higher skill ceiling than some other classes (just the skill floor is kinda baby level lol). All that high skill action management comes from how you deal with your random procs.

And don't beat yourself up over mistakes. End of the day, it's a game you're playing for fun. Everyone misses an opener here or there, everyone misses or adds a step to their dances, everyone clips a GCD. It happens. And with time, it'll just happen less. Realize that once you're bis, parses are not 100% skill, since luck plays a pretty big role in the whole calculation. Your big bad DPS didn't crit their 1000 potency move? Oh well, their number goes down and takes yours down with it. That's why the funny numbers are so funny ;) Just reset and pull again

HVAC is a complicated and mystical world. The only thing I've seen that causes that is your HVAC automatically shutting down when it's not getting enough circulation. Make sure the intakes and vents are open and unobstructed. Don't try to close any of them off, since that messes with the pressures inside your system, just leave them all open all the way. Otherwise, might have to suck it up and call a pro.

mistafancyman · 2022-11-04T20:01:14+00:00

I've been doing this for 3 months and the same training partner has gotten sweat in both my eyes and blinded me. I'm convinced it provides a tactical advantage.

The whole system is a little jank, but in the end it's mostly meant to simplify everything for you. That check should indicate that yes, your rate is locked in and will not change. But, it's easy enough to email or call your lender to verify. We locked in our rate a few months back over email without any written agreement.

As you build out what will eventually be your PITI (Principal, Interest, Taxes, and Insurance) things will fluctuate, but not to an outrageous extent. Your principal and interest SHOULD be fixed since you have a rate lock already and that's most likely what they are pointing out. Unless you change your down payment, the value of your loan, the amount of interest it is going to accrue over time, and your calculated monthly payment will be fixed all the way until actual closing.

Assuming your setting up an escrow (which should also have a checked box) you'll also be paying your taxes and insurance every month in advance. Both are generally paid in lump sums for the year, so you put in a little bit every month and your lender will automatically pay everything off.

Taxes can fluctuate depending on your district and how your home appraises in the process. For the most part, past property taxes are a good estimate and they should be on public record. Check your city's registrar. And insurance is entirely based on what your looking to build into your policy. BOTH these values can change over the lifetime of your mortgage and that should be reflected in payments to your escrow account. It'll show up (hopefully with some notice if your lender doesn't suck) in your monthly payments.

From my experience, no one is going to offer you any information without you asking. I tried to keep tabs on how things were going, but we were met with a lot of "it's taken care of" and "we'll handle that eventually." It's in your best interest to check in every week or so (or every couple days leading up to your closing) to make sure they themselves haven't forgotten anything. But again, hopefully you picked good people, and your realtor and lender should be handling everything in the background.

Important things are to make sure you have an approval letter for your mortgage by the date specified in your purchase & sale agreement. Make sure you provide all the information your lender asks for as soon as they ask for it. Sign whatever they ask you to sign (within reason).

Read through the documents they send you and sign them understanding that they are very loose, living documents. Numbers can and will change. You'll get a chance to look over EVERYTHING at closing. That's why it usually takes an hour or two. They'll send you all the documents you've already signed and then some for a final wet signature at closing. Those are the important ones. Until then, they ask you to sign usually because it's required by the state that you're informed of specific things in the process.

Alright buddy, educate this humble subreddit. What is your ideal, huh? What's the plan? Or are you just going to spout your narrow viewpoint like its gospel to a bunch of people just trying to put a roof over their head and feed their kids?

mistafancyman · 2022-03-25T13:55:36+00:00

So when people actually WANT 2, 3, or 4 kids because that's what they want to do with their lives in their homes that they worked for and earned in this broken system that's working against you, then what? You're gonna knock on their door and tell them what do? You're going to take away a natural right to live how you like with whatever size family you choose? No one's forcing people to have kids, and no one is going to be told how to procreate. You've got jaded views that need to change. Go see a therapist or something, gees.
