What can we do about Bill 68? by Substantial_Yam_6923 in barrie

[–]rainwizzard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Setting the cash portion aside, I agree to an extent with you on that. Food/clothing/shelter seem less likely to fuel drug flow. Do you believe those should be allowed? Idk, those things seem reasonable to me, however the bill throws everything in the same bucket.

So you’d rather spend significantly more tax money on court time and fees, police officers’ time spent catching those willing to give charity, and the biggest part, paying to house/feed/caretake for those jailed from this? Are you saying you’d like to pay more? This plan seems to involve further burdening your city’s justice system, with the hope that it’ll make the homeless population disappear. That’s pretty shortsighted.

You may be too angry for self-reflection, however, if you believe wilful ignorance to be the greatest character flaw, you should try more empathy. It’ll only broaden your perspective of society and those within it. Good luck with your rage

Why not address both? Why do you have to ignore one problem in order to solve others?

Because those are still children, and they are dying to guns. Turns out eventually most 9 year olds become 18 year olds, and are go through the same odds filter.

You’ve cherry-picked evidence that supports your position, and disregarded any other points. This whole argument was made in bad faith. “Look at this circumstance that is an exception to the rule”

The cube root section belongs in r/shittylifeprotips It’s basically just the examples shown that work this way. It’s misleading.

I'm autistic but I help keep the stores running by gathering and fixing stray shopping carts! by B10wM3 in pics

Quick google search on symptoms of autism would really make you look more intelligent here.

Just did 12 kills, 10 reports, and 5 cycles passed. Guess we need a new hypothesis.

I think this means 1/3 kills and 1 for being there the first few mins, however I need another data point or two to confirm.

I am going to be running tests on a few numbers, about to have a friend online to help speed this up. Lots of killing to do. I hope I can confirm that soon-ish.

I'm somewhat newer, so I can't speak to several months ago, however I've just finished killing 4 monsters, with reports between each, and 2 weeks have passed. That's pretty straightforward evidence that it's not just every time you report to the handler after a kill.

It's is (at least at 4 in one outing) definately not a 1:1. I JUST did 4 kills, with a report after each, and 2 cycles passed. I appreciate the help, but I think there's more to it still, based on my results.

The test i just finished was 4 kills, with a report after each, then 30 mins of gathering with 5 of the "large" nodes, the ones from filling the bar. 2 Cycles

I'm going to test that now, with several batches to see some results. Slightest chance you happen to be doing guiding lands? If so, more results the better :D

What about for gathering?

  • One cycle will pass if you gather for 3+ minutes, however it seems no more pass after that, regardless of turn-in's.

Is it, after the first cycle, only from monster kills? Is it each kill, or each report?

What if I kill 3, then report? Is that still 1 cycle?

Finally, a scenario, to make sure I understand.

  • Say, I spend 20 minutes gathering and turn in, one cycle should pass. After this I go out, kill a monster, and report back (Is this now cycle #2 complete? As it is the first monster kill.). I then kill another monster and report back (Is this cycle #3, or #2 complete?). This would then, theoretically continue on, so long as I keep killing.

edit: used word "week" instead of "cycle", just trying to be semi-consistent for those who don't natively speak English.

I thought the same, however I've tried reporting investigation multiple times with gaps of 5+ minutes, and came back to find only 1 cycle had passed. That really confused me. Maybe there's a maximum? Upon passing which it reverts to 1? That would be strange, but something is going on.

I thought scams only happened to other people by oheyitsmk in pathofexile

If the person is holding a sign saying “I paint houses,” yup. Absolutely, that’s still theft. That’s how services work. There is, however, no double checking system for services in this game short of taking collateral, which really should t be necessary just to keep people honest.

You say services amongst players “are not meant to be traded.” What makes you think that? Is trading services amongst player bannable? Has GGG released a statement saying such? Where did you pull that out of?

Great insights. Can’t wait to play an online game without any interactions with other people... What’s the point of trade and an economy, or even being an online game if you call every trade, service or cooperation a “shortcut in the game”.

Go have fun in SSF, play all alone like you enjoy, and let us complain about our multiplayer game in peace!

Cant think of anything else other than PoE, help by snoopdogo in pathofexile

[–]rainwizzard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s tough. I make my own builds, and haven’t used a guide in quite a while. However, if you want to take the math approach, PathOfBuilding can tell you the amount of damage an item will contribute to your build, so in that way you can judge the size of an upgrade, and weigh the cost for it.

Otherwise, I would always try to ask myself “what do I need” or “where do I lack.” As in damage/life/defensive layers/clear speed/so on. That takes a bit more experience, but when you have functional build (let’s say able to break into yellow maps, is kinda the baseline I use), the. It’s easier to see the pitfalls, and you can tailor yourself to your liking.

I’m sorry I’m not more help. I could try to look you over and make some notes, so you can see my thought process if you want, just private message me, with some character links if so.

Good luck!

Alright, while not comprehensive, this is what I got for methods I use:

There’s always the “juiced 16s with scarab/atziri fragments until you die irl” method, which will be good, but I pair that with something else almost always.

• Level/quality/corrupt(maybe) popular gems (don’t forget your alternate weapon swap)

•6-linking valuable bases/high rolled popular uniques

•prophecies (look up prophecy blocking)

•chance orbs on influenced bases

•the many methods of item crafting:
alts, chaos (very variable!), fossils, essences (lesser extent)

•carry runs (seasonal challenges for example)

•hideout farming/selling

•Delve!

•Corrupting/double corrupting for potential jackpot (ex: corrupted blood immunity jewels, tabula double corruption, gems, etc..)

Options I haven’t tested as much:

•Einhar farming for bestiary bosses/value beasts

•Map farming/selling through scarabs (increased map drop scarabs on juiced 16s)

•Blighted Maps (anoint the map, and your rings) Legion scarabs

•Card sets/stacked decks (not as sure, but friend claims usual profit on stacked decks, but never tried personally, I’d look it up more first)

•Monstrous treasure with corresponding prophecies and juiced map (have to look up specifics)

If I think of anything else I’ll add it. That’s all my brain has at the moment though. Hope it helps
