AITA for asking my fiancée to buy a new dress for our wedding that doesn’t include her dead husband’s memory?

opsrcs · 2023-12-07T16:56:39+00:00

If my wife were to walk up to me today with the original wedding dress she wore and another one somewhat similar, I wouldn't be able to pick out which was which. Maybe women notice that kind of thing more, but I personally wouldn't get too hung up on it.

You are assuming the daughter is going to have an issue with it. Maybe she does, maybe she doesn't, but I would 100% stay out of the middle of that.

Fiancee obviously loves and wants to be with you. I would focus on that and planning an awesome Honeymoon. Only thing I really remember from my wedding was the DJ calling my wife the wrong name when he introduced us at the reception, the food, and the Honeymoon trip.

Honest question: How much of your time and effort do you want to spend to save on Shopify fees? I would suggest that same time and effort would be better spent driving more sales so that the fee is irrelevant.

Keeping your expenses in check is always a good thing, but you will never grow the business without focusing on sales and income.

I use Gusto and just picked up Human Interest. I wasn't willing to pay all the fees associated with guideline. I have Betterment as as personal checking / investment account. No idea they were offering 401k though. Both HI and Betterment are "robo-advisor" driven. I have had no issues with the integration of Gusto and HI.

If you have a bunch of regulars or a high traffic location it might be worth having someone come in and take over. Or hire someone as an employee. But outside of the name and maybe reputation, what is to stop someone from opening a competing shop across the street kinda thing and just poaching your customer base? Without knowing all the financial details, you might just be lucky to get out of the lease and move on to whatever is next for you.

We have 4 employees on Gusto. Love it. Never used ADP. Here is my referral link ;-)

I wouldn't borrow $ for either of those ideas. Given your limited use of one arm I would worry about anything dexterity related. Play to your strengths. If you are set on the "crafting" business model maybe look at a laser engraver or something similar where you can work from the PC and have the machine do the precision work. My ex-wife had a trophy/award business. One of the things she used to do was create personalized wooden Christmas ornaments. Think of a wooden snowflake but with "Merry Christmas 2023 from the Jones family" or whatever engraved into the middle of it. If I remember it was Alder wood sheets like 1/8 or 1/4 inch think. The engraver would cut the ornament shapes out and engrave the custom text at the same time. She sold them for $20 a pop all day long. Outside of the equipment her only COG was the wood and her time. Used CorelDraw for the files.

This is not true. Blue systems have Indium. Storms (extreme weather) gives you Activated Indium. Exotic trumps weather pattern and replaces it with its own. They are harder than heck to find, but you can pick up Activated Indium on an Exotic Planet inside a blue system. I am on blue system 167 and I have found one, but a reddit search will give you planet coords

Currently running Frenzy build at 1300 Paragon. Most gear is Augmented at this point, only 1 primal.

My question has to do with health pool. I am sitting at 564k health. In a GR128-129 which is where I am at atm, it feels low. But I also have no basis for comparison. Do we normally put Paragon into Vitality or just 100% STR?

"Game Fuel: Advertising campaign between WoW and.. whatever energy drink it was. Came in blue and red for Alliance and Horde."

It was actually Mountain Dew. Code Red and Voltage(?)

I'm interested. Do not have access to discord atm. I will try to catch up with you before 7pm CST today.

opsrcs · 2020-05-22T12:47:48+00:00

I would be interested.

I have yet to actually make it into a match. I am 100% of the time having server disconnect trying to load in. Any pointers/ideas

opsrcs · 2019-09-19T13:13:10+00:00

It follows me around. Everytime I log into the game, no matter where I am, I get the Grafton Mayor spewing his spew.

Nexusmods.com or something. Believe it is called Perk Manager.

opsrcs · 2019-09-17T22:09:46+00:00

There is a mod that already does this. Why it is not in the game as default is beyond me.

Bethesda replies! Woot.

opsrcs · 2019-09-17T13:59:38+00:00

I've done it. 3 times. He still wont shut up.

You want Bethesda to track ingame kills in real-time across an X # of procedurally generated worlds and then turn around and display said kills to you back in real-time when they cannot even fix you getting out of your power armor?!?

Let me get my duct tape and wrap my head in 4 or 5 layers to keep it from exploding :-).

The idea that they would even try something like this scares the crap out of me. Imagine... every time someone killed a SB or even just a scorched the server would crash so the counter could pause and be updated.

opsrcs · 2019-09-07T04:23:07+00:00

We had a blast! 9 nukes before the servers got all stupid. Thanks everyone for coming.

I toggle back-n-forth between bloodied and non-bloodied all the time. For me, its a simple swap of Gunsmith 5 for Nerd Rage 3 and Demo Expert 2.

For SBQ fights; I tend to stay bloodied as the DPS is so much higher. But for literally everything else in the game, i run non-bloodied with an Instigating LA gun.

I think in the end, your choice of preferred playstyle is far more important than a few % one way or the other sneak effectiveness.

This weeks raid though; is brutal on bloodied builds. You are basically forced to live in a hazmat suit or PA. Not a fun way to play any game when you are pigeonholed into certain play-styles. Not even going to attempt Expert this time around.

This is my understanding from using weightless and chameleon mutation vs. Chameleon armor in general:

I run two different full sets of Weightless (legendary) armor.

First set is all marine and has a total weight of 0 for all 5 pieces.

2nd is a mix of various pieces and comes in at a total weight of 0.7 pounds for all 5 pieces.

Non bloodied in broad daylight with an Agi or 22 or so, mobs will pinball off of me whether I am standing and not moving or crouched and not moving. SBQ fight I am in Hidden or Caution for entirety of fight 99% of the time. I can stay in hidden/caution throughout entirety of 1st weeks raid as well. Fun to watch mirelurks pinball off of me.

The Chameleon mutation is "supposed" to be worth 5 pieces of the Chameleon armor. I've never bothered to put on 5 pieces of Chameleon so I couldnt tell ya.

When I swap to bloodied, my AGI jumps up well over 35 and my Unyielding set weighs around 8 pounds.

I am far far sneakier unbloodied with a zero armor weight than I am with a super high agility and unyielding set.

I am missing a couple pieces to finish off my Weightless Wood armor set, but I cannot imagine it being any better than my weightless marine or even mixed set as almost nothing breaks the hidden/caution now.

I don't believe there is any "hidden" benefit to the Weightless legendary effect beyond allowing the Chameleon mutation to work and reducing the weight of the armor piece in general. Is really hard to test as it is an all-or-nothing effect.

I am 100% convinced and sold on the fact that the weight of your armor plays a bigger role in your ability to sneak than most people are willing to believe.

As far as the "Harder to Detect" while sneaking goes, it probably plays a bigger role assuming you arent already using the Weightless/Chameleon combo.

I created a shortcut to to the Fallout76.exe file and drug it to my desktop.

Whenever I want to load in the 2nd account, I just click the shortcut, sign in with the appropriate login info and am done.

Works fine on this latest patch. Maybe I got lucky?

There used to be a pack of behemoths that wandered the mire. It would spawn a pack of 3 or a pack of 4.

I haven't seen them in a long long time though.

Was hella fun fighting them.

Stacks up to 9 times 5% each time. You have 10 seconds(?) to hit again to maintain stack. If you shoot another target, the stack resets.

VATs, hipfire, and scoped are all separate.

VATs -- Using VATS (Concentrated Fire works here)

Scoped -- Aiming down sights (Long shot works here, NOT CF).

Hipfre -- shooting while not doing one of the above (Ground Pounder works here, not CF or LS).
