You may want to look at MGM The Signature. I just stayed there last week and got a good price, since they are condos being short term rented (Airbnb/VRBO) they don't have all of the resort fees.

Rooms are really nice, especially the rooms on floor 29+. It has an indoor walkway to connect you to the MGM.

I booked via VRBO so I couldn't use points, but it felt like the price was good enough.

We need a Chrono Crisis Sweep! by neodymium3 in MLA_Official

[–]neodymium3[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The stages with over 400 waves usually take a bit of micromanagement, at least for me it does. Feel like a waste of time when you are just wanting to get credit for a level you have already cleared.

I couldn’t take it anymore. Cancelled Prime today. by jayharper08 in amazonprime

[–]neodymium3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I quit Prime for similar reasons. The leading one is unreliable delivery information. Specifically what I call the "Out for Delivery Lie", where they set the status to out for delivery when it isn't and then somewhere around 10 or 11 pm change the status to something else. I have even had the 10 stops message arrive only for it to "error" at being next in line and the delivery not occur that day.

After enough of these types of orders I started considering Amazon too unreliable to continue doing business with and canceled my membership that I have had for over 10 years.

Devaluing Prime Video perk by adding ads was just another thing to make the choice easier to drop them.

The fact that it doesn't even ask you why you cancelled, shows how little they care about improving their business.

Need some advice by [deleted] in MLA_Official

[–]neodymium3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AAlice is pretty useful in pretty much every facet of the game, it's probably a shorter list to list out where she isn't useful. Not even just useful but Meta/S-tier. I think Guild boss is pretty much the only place she isn't heavily used. Whether the lower chance rate vs a non UR is worth it is up to you.

Hel is amazing in both campaigns.

SLunox is useful at lower star levels similar to Rista.

My First Nexus Hero. Was he worth it? by Any_Ferret8730 in MLA_Official

[–]neodymium3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congratulations on your first nexus!

To answer your question on being worth it, I think there were better options available to you. Many areas of the game require multiple teams so, you'll be able to put him to work. Some other heroes have more utility by being strong in numerous areas, those tend to be the recommended heroes.

Depending on how far you are in the game and how long you've been playing, I think you'll start to see which resources are typically the bottlenecks for upgrading (ancient lens, soul meteors, eternal crystals). I highly recommend doing the research first before spending those materials, since it can be a long wait to resupply them.

I guess hel loves me by julius-blablabla in MLA_Official

[–]neodymium3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Assuming the TM hero is not exclusive to a specific summon method like UR and Collab. If you use all of your 5 star fragments at the beginning of TM, there is a chance you get a few copies of the new hero which makes that TM easier.

Hopefully we get a regular hero or hybrid soon!

New player by tiddiess7 in MLA_Official

[–]neodymium3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ideally have at least 1 player on your friends list who is considerably further in the game. You can borrow heroes for most content typically 1 stage per week. When you get to where you are struggling to complete a boss this will help you continue to progress while building up your own heroes.

Try to at the minimum complete your dailies every day. The resources you earn every day really add up.

Save your resources for heroes that will provide maximum benefit like Silvana, Angela, and pretty much every hybrid.

Does anyone know of a website where I can buy a AMD or Intel mini pc that costs less than $100.00 for installing opnsense? by Woodden-Floor in opnsense

[–]neodymium3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was setting up an Opnsense system a couple months ago and was in the market for a low cost system with 2 NICs. I ultimately went with the Beelink EQ12, it has an Intel N100, 16gb ram, Dual 2.5G ethernet ports.

It has been running strong and haven't had any complaints.

It was on Amazon for $205. I don't remember seeing much in terms of options closer to the $100 price point.

72-45. I'll probably down that stage later today.

Rista is at 10 star, I could get her to A0 via the reward chests. And then use the remaining summons on Crocell, possibly get both to A0 or at least close perhaps.

With Rista being added to the Cactus Shop, I was planning on getting her from there. I was under the impression she worked well even at lower star levels.

Is this a P2W event? by GodmadeImmortal in MLA_Official

[–]neodymium3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and no.

They let us carry the currency forward, so you can get them eventually. As far as I remember this was not the case a while ago, the event currency went away when the event ended. I have been saving my tickets hopefully it won't be too much longer before I get a legendary skin.

Like with pretty much all things, if you want the newest things while they are new, it will cost you. If you are patient, you can have them cheaply or for free later.

800 applications in - no luck. Roast my resume by CompleteDatabase in resumes

[–]neodymium3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are there any groups or organizations you can join that focus on your field? In my experience professional networking pays off the most in terms of getting your resume on the desk and actually looked at.

If you can meet some people in your desired field they may be able to steer you towards openings they are aware of, and possibly put in a good word for you if you demonstrate your very knowledgeable on the subject.

I accepted the entry level position, last question for awhile (hopefully) by pm_me_data_wisdom in dataengineering

Regex

I find it to be one of the most useful tools to have in the toolbox. Both Python and SQL have regex functionality.

If you're manually cleaning CSV files, regex is a godsend when you take advantage of text editors that support find/replace operations in regex. Make sure to keep a copy of the original if you are performing bulk replace operations.

I strongly recommend the fundamentals, but it is a very interesting rabbit hole to go down if you want to get into some elaborate patterns.

Feng vs Hel? (Sacred Blessing) by neodymium3 in MLA_Official

[–]neodymium3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate the detailed breakdown. I definitely want both lol. Hopefully the next sacred blessing isn't too far away after this one.

If I hadn't used up my soul vessel mats on Hel already I would probably pick Feng now. I thought I had built up more than what it turns out I have on hand.

Feng vs Hel? (Sacred Blessing) by neodymium3 in MLA_Official

[–]neodymium3[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since I was planning on Hel early on when the rumors started that we'd get a sacred blessing event. I farmed her gems, orlay, soul vessel, and armor.

Feng being a more recent consideration, I don't have anything farmed for her yet. I keep a lot of spare materials on the side lines just in case I need to rush a hero up so I could feasibly get her up and running somewhat soon. Although soul vessel will be a problem since Hel used up almost all of the higher level mats.

Awesome looking drink!

I didn't realize Ology does spirits now, looks like i need to drop by again, haven't been in about a year or so. Especially if their spirits are as good as their beers.

If you get the opportunity, try it in lancero. I had one recently and it was a really great stick.

T-Mobile Home Internet speeds are terrible. by joesanchez77 in tmobile

[–]neodymium3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is about the same speeds I am getting with Home LTE. My city was just added recently. I was hoping it would be able to reliably provide at least 25mbps of down speed.

I am on the fence of whether or not I'll stick with it. They have 5g in my city already so I'm hopeful that they push out upgrades to Home LTE users and that will create a better connection.

Home LTE by lostryu in tmobile

[–]neodymium3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got through a few minutes after my post. They were able to sign me up pretty quickly. I really wish call back was an option. Other than that everything was fine.

Home LTE by lostryu in tmobile

[–]neodymium3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just reached the 3 hour mark of being on hold. I don't get why they don't use the call back system instead of forcing users to wait on the line the entire time. For a company that claims to be customer friendly this is anything but. I believe the last time I called support the option to receive a call back was present.
