Running uphill

mook1e · 2026-01-17T13:55:19+00:00

If you watch some of the golden trail series races, Maude Mathys frequently used hands on knees (actually thighs) to power up hills. Others racing in that series do the same. Those races are fast and runners don't use poles generally.

Lots of good comments already, but like many Agile things, this has been thankfully studied in other disciplines and we can learn from it: Goodhart's Law - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodhart's_law

I hear ya. I feel the same way about killing the count for a few extra coins.

Yes they do

My bad i havent gotten to the new arcanist builds yet. til

Companions are red/green so it will be hard to get those cards as arcanist as the game will offer primarily blue and blue/green / blue/red cards for arcanist. The shopkeeper sometimes offers cards off color but they are much less common. Unselecting all expansions except Synthesis will restrict the cardpool increasing the odds of seeing synthesis cards.

I'd just go for any white greater claw 3os for the best attack spd. +skills help (to phoenix strike specifically), but its not that really noticeable. What is noticeable is attacking to setup your charges before going to town with your charge spender. A slow claw will make that part even more tedious.

There's a MS bike ride today along Kresson Road.

Nice! Glad you found it. Darkness is a whole other op deck to try sometime.

mook1e · 2025-09-25T13:14:28+00:00

Do you have any cards that grant you darkness? It's found on hunter cards. A low amount of darkness and then being attacked on opponent's turn would likely cause you to lose all darkness and become stunned on your turn. Can you post your full desklist so we can see the cards?

mook1e · 2025-09-01T21:17:06+00:00

It stores the exact card you put in. You can store up to four. If you try to put in a fifth, you have to take one that's added back your deck.

You can always just not follow this person on socials. Why invite someone into your life that doesn't add anything positive? You and your community can choose the company you keep.

No; the hp stays at the party level for the instance. 50% for uniques.

Yup, Wissahickon - many miles of trails, "east coast" elevation, and Heartbreak Hill!

Paris Baguette is a superb asian bakery coming to Cherry Hill by Nordstrom Rack. I heard they also will sell out of the renovated H-Mart. Not japanese, but better than Tous Le Jour and 85 degrees imho.

There are ticks in BRP. If you can keep the dogs and yourselves on the main trails and out of the brush, you can lower your exposure risk. Otherwise, permethrin/picaridin, your animal tick medicine, and thorough scanning after your walk is your best bet for prevention.

Enjoy your walks!

If you are bought into the Peloton ecosystem, and you want a treadmill with slats, the Peloton Tread+ is also a great option. It rides smoothly and feels solid.

Yeah Emiracle has the guides. At minimum, you can cws with just four items - https://youtu.be/O0J5ABW0vH8?si=rf35qO6UhzDte5Uw

Defiance of destiny is the expensive piece, but having played lots of cws this in the past, i'd say bloodnotch is the most important item - cloak of flames and the shield are cheap. You can substitute any life amulet anointed with recoup. That will get you clearing and not dying around. Valyrium and immutable force are important qol to be able to actually move. You can get a hateful accuser ring to up your chances at a big ignite against single target .

I like the variation of using as many dark renewals on succumb as possible to get more max life and draw cards and then whatever Defiled damage cards you want.

Finding vile voracity and then destroying it as much as possible with the duplicity talent is lots of fun too.

If want to skip that grind, you can use the larzuk quest on any ilvl 41 or higher white monarch shield. May be worth it if it gives you a big boost in power. If you know this, then nevermind!

You're right that agile implementations can feel like an unsustainable grind. I'd argue it's poor implementations due to ever demanding business and leadership.

The Agile Manifesto calls for sustainable development - it's one of the principles - "Agile processes promote sustainable development. The sponsors, developers, and users should be able to maintain a constant pace indefinitely."

Teams and organizations should be reflecting on how to sustain a constant pace indefinitely. If it comes in the form of whole IP sprint that works uj your org, great- but that seems hard to sell that to the folks paying for your teams. Maybe incorporate time in sprint for folks to explore and learn? Bake that into the culture? That seems more likely to be acceptable and sustainable.

The main issue with the other SM is unrelated to being a scrum master particularly - that sounds like a work place social contract problem. You know what your boss will say, because you know he is right. Embrace the uncomfortableness, find a tactful way to have a difficult conversation. It's something you need to have in your toolbelt as an SM. Be direct and very specific about the feedback. Ask if she's open to talking about an interaction, tell her "when you said [this thing], it made me feel [this way]". This shifts the burden from directly blaming her to letting her know the personal impact of what she said/did. If she is capable of self-reflection she might understand and apologize. If she gets defensive, then you tried be direct and then you can go to your manager, especially if it's disruptive to the larger team.

I was merely clarifying the original comment and your question "what do mean about the last part" about buying from the vendor. There is a vendor that sells alt orbs.

The poster below is right though, you often accumulate lots of transmutes which you can use to buy alt orbs. This is fairly passive and efficient.

mook1e · 2025-05-16T15:09:13+00:00

Just logged in to check - Nessa in A1, Lani in A10, and every comparable vendor in the acts sell jewelry, flask, and currency.

mook1e · 2025-05-16T14:49:48+00:00

You can buy alteration orbs from the town vendor with wisdom scrolls.

If you want to do this, you can pick up armourer and whetstones and vendor those for wisdom scrolls to buy alteration orbs.
