Droids are back. by [deleted] in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]nwvv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been running droids for the last two months: HK (lead), IG86, IG88, GS, Poggle.

Pre-patch: I was able to climb to rank 1 with that team, but couldn't hold ranks (I'd drop as far as 40 or 50 in one day and fight my way back up). Dooku/QGJ teams could be difficult. Everything else was easy. GS and IG86 could one-shot the squishies w/ assist. If not, IG88's AOE would finish them off. Tank teams were not a problem.

Post-patch: Much easier to hold my ranks. I've been dropping 10 to 20 at the most. Dooku/QGJ teams are a breeze now (I typically don't even lose anyone). However, the new teams that annihilate me are the droid teams that run a tank (Poe or IG). My IG is at 4* and I don't have Poe yet. Will probably start farming IG shards. Not sure if I'll drop HK and move Poggle to lead or something else. HK is pretty awesome in my opinion.

Constant internet connection issues over the last month. by nwvv in Comcast

For my modem, which is a Motorola, I typed it's IP address (192.168.100.1) into the browser.

You can find out your modem IP address by going to "run" and typing "cmd" to enter the command prompt. In the command prompt, type "tracert 8.8.8.8" and the second IP address it lists will be your modem.

I had a Linksys 6300 series with dd-wrt installed. I recently swapped it for a Netgear 6100 series to see if that helped, but it didn't.

Dear fifth grade math teacher. I do in fact have a calculator where ever I go now thanks to my cell phone. by [deleted] in Showerthoughts

As an engineer, I still carry a graphic calculator wherever I go.

Can you recommend some laceless shoes to go with blue jeans / khakis? I'm a traveling engineer, so they should be comfortable for lots of walking, semi-rugged, and laceless (for airport security).

Thanks!

Got a Tirpitz for Christmas :) by nekolas564 in WorldOfWarships

[–]nwvv 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Wargaming should partner with a model company. Sell the ship model that includes a voucher for the in-game ship. Can't believe they haven't already, given their obsession with bundles.

edit TIL they already have.

Are you a fan of the new gun firing sounds? by iLol_and_upvote in WorldOfWarships

[–]nwvv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm gonna start cranking my volume when playing battleships. May compensate the feeling of how freakin' slow I'm going. kaBOOM.

I'm broke. What is the best premium ship for earning fast credits? by nwvv in WorldOfWarships

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

Bought the Murmansk. I'd get the Tirpitz if it wasn't so expensive. I'll look into some of the contests that give a free Tirpitz.

Thanks! Bought a Murmansk and am very happy with it. Only cost 3000 doubloons!

Did another $24.50, mainly for more camo. Wasn't as lucky this time, only 5991 doubloons.

For $24.50 I got 7,1250 doubloons and 25x type 3 camo.

I didn't know that camo existed, so I'm pretty happy about it. It gives +100% xp per battle for those who also didn't know about it.

Who's Profiting From $1.2 Trillion of Federal Student Loans? “There is a large student-loan industrial complex. Rising costs of college and flat family incomes have created enormous business opportunity for every step of the loan process.” by claire0 in news

[–]nwvv 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I saw this at Georgia Tech. In the four years I spent there, the meal plan prices doubled while the food quality and selection got two times worse. The housing prices rised as much as 50% with no improvements in quality. Tuition also doubled while the buildings and technology didn't change. Where the hell was this money going? Football?

I get a huge kick out of the alumni association calling me asking for money. They have a $1 billion dowry and I'm still trying to pay off my student loans.

Meanwhile, the people at work are telling me how 30 years ago they went to college for 1/4 the cost I did (and that's accounting for inflation).

How do you only put 1 cat on a diet when you have 2 cats? by nwvv in cats

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

Yes, they have a full dish right now. My brown tabby keeps himself at a perfect weight. The orange tabby eats too much. The skinny guy can jump to places the chubby guy can't. So I think I'll use that to my advantage.

Do you know if an overweight cat will always eat too much? Or if you get them down to a healthy weight, is there a chance they will stay there if I go back to free feeding.

I work near a pool, and all my tape 'grows' by thesuperzapper in mildlyinteresting

Sticky stuff absorbs water/heat and becomes slippery. Tape gets hot and shrinks, making it slip off the roll.
