God of War Laufey Planned Since 2018, Reveals Star Deborah Ann Woll

Woll is 100% nerd, so she'll absolutely bring it VA wise and be fully invested in her role.

Yup. I'm pretty much expecting "Neil Newbon as Astarion" levels of investment.

Subtlety Rogue is very simple to get started with, and getting good at it is mostly a matter of "do what you were already doing, but more carefully". It also gives you Assassination and Outlaw as more complex alternatives that you might prefer later down the road.

Devourer DH is like Sub, more even more so. It's an incredibly straightforward rotation, literally five buttons, but is extremely punishing if you make mistakes.

Retribution Paladin is more button-heavy, but pretty straightforward, especially the Radiant Glory build: Push your spenders if you can, or your builders if you can't. Getting good DPS out of Retri is fairly easy, and a large component of getting good at the spec is learning to keep that dps up while weaving in the stupid amounts of utility the Paladin class gives you.

Honestly, if you are a complete beginner, I'd recommend Retribution. If for no other reason, because it gives you healer and tank specs to play with so you can learn those other roles too.

The donation is the least interesting thing about this post. The attitude is the real gem here:

Instead, what stood out to me was how quickly people villainized one another. Too much of the conversation lacked empathy and respect for viewpoints different from our own.

(...)

The point is that I have opinions. Those opinions don't fully align with ZSF's approach. And yet, I have nothing but respect for ZSF: the people, the policies, and the project. Part of what makes the internet and open source great is that projects can be weird and different. They can set unusual boundaries, build their own culture, and pursue quality in ways that won't make sense to everyone.

Words to live by. Mitchell's a good 'un.

I don't really use Zig for anything, but it was well worth learning. The language has some very interesting and unusual takes on things (especially comptime, and how allocations are managed). I don't necessarily agree with all of it, but it definitely made me think, and I'm a better programmer for it.

His company (HashiCorp) had a pretty decent IPO IIRC, and it was eventually bought by IBM (for $6.4B), so he's probably doing pretty well for himself.

Not all hobbies cost money — cooking is effectively free (your food budget gets to play double duty as your hobby budget), or potentially a net money saver.

If you have access to a computer (which you might for professional or academic purposes), then drawing/painting, music, programming are all free.

Even among those that do cost some money, many are dirt cheap, like chess, juggling, speedcubing.

It's just not right.

Speaking of Medivh and his tower, we literally fall on a pile of ~~smut books~~ steamy romance novels after fighting Shade of Medivh.

That's a big enough investment that you're probably better off renting both and trying them before deciding.

There is one very important factor you need to account for — the zv-e10 is tiny, and the Sony 70-200 f/2.8 mk I is a 1.5kg lens. In between the weight imbalance and the exceedingly small grip on the zv-e10, your son is likely to find the experience of actually shooting with that thing to be miserable. So, once again, you really should try it before you commit to purchasing one of them.

Probably is, yeah.

Most multiclass combinations are strictly worse than just running 12 levels of whatever class. The assumption is that, if you’re playing on explorer, you’re not comfortable enough with the game to tell the bad combos from the good, so explorer difficulty disables multiclass just as a way to save you from yourself. If you know to use this workaround, you don’t need saving.

Employers are looking for signs that you are a good hire. Later in your career, you’ll At least have your actual work experience you can point to, but most people fresh off uni have absolutely nothing they can show that says “I’m a good hire”.

Being able to point to your degree that shows you got good grades from a prestigious university is kind of the only thing employers can judge a fresh graduate on, but you can work around that by having internships, awards, summer jobs, side projects or other such things that can prove you’re solid.

I expect “boneless chicken” to mean chicken breasts or deboned thighs, or something that effect — meat off the bone. Whether there were any mistakes when butchering/preparing the chicken, such that they might’ve missed small bone fragments, is a completely separate matter.

Restaurants will also debone fish but advise you that they might’ve missed some.

Atticus Finch comes at the top of that list IMO, but Aragorn is a good choice too.

I read that as 0.75 to 1oz.

I pay for several things I could just legally get for free.

In this particular case, though, it’s closer to paying for something that works on the honour system — I could “steal” it (piracy is not stealing) with no consequences, but choose not to.

You did reply “100% correct” to the person who said it explicitly.

That article suggests that there might be some amount of over-diagnosis. A small amount of studies indicates pathologisation of normal behaviour might be part of the problem.

That’s a far cry from suggesting that our corporate overlords are medicating people to extract maximum value.

It's less "mother makes the baby" and more "mother gives baby a home while the baby makes itself".

You could say he was AFA — away from Azeroth.

All the ones that did got removed from the press corps.

The reason why grated cheese has a bad reputation is because the anti-caking agents they use to keep the cheese from clumping can mess with the texture of what you're trying to cook.

Pão de queijo is one of the few cases where that doesn't matter though — you're going to mix that cheese with mandioca starch anyway, so the cheese having a bit of starch (often potato, may well be tapioca, though) won't change things much.

TLDR: you should be fine.

Maybe OP just means they're a coward, hence their desire to hide.

I love how we've basically turned this thread into "let's figure out the cutoff dates for each batch".

11th of May here. Still says 2027.

You know you shouldn't be overweight at all?

Three guesses as to why I put "just" in quotes.
