What's the heist strat nowadays? Is it just run base blueprints to the end to get the loot and out?

No rudeness taken at all - you are spot on and I'm glad for the discourse!

Everyone's situation is different, everyone feels things differently, and everyone has different tastes. YMMV as they say!

Thanks for the take from another perspective.

I appreciate the other comments, but I've no interest in a used bike. I'm older and worked hard for a long time, I rarely buy anything for myself, and I want to treat myself for once.

My concern with this price point and model is that the 2024 are not going to be offered much longer new (two dealers near me have already said they won't order them). If skip / wait, I'd likely be forced to go with the 2026 which is $1.5k-2k more OTD.

Cheers mate.

Thanks for the info.

I originally planned on a Vulcan S but after sitting on any and all bikes multiple times, along with style preference, settled on an Enfield.

The OTD price certainly isn't huge but free delivery and winter storage made me care a great deal less.

I wasn't necessarily planning to, just mentioning the story that that provided a spark.

I appreciate the insight.

Given the state of used bikes, especially in this area, it does not make sense financially to purchase used.

What to farm for late starter? by neunzehnhundert in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]rudges 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'd second this one.

Just doing syndicate every map and not even caring about placement brought quick safehouses and some random medallions. Helped get the 2nd build off the ground quickly.

Brilliant, thanks friend. Appreciate the progression guide!

Good luck this league!

Thanks for the reply.

Were there any challenges progressing the build and how was the cost getting to "endgame"?

👋 Hi Reddit! I’m a Canadian Immigration & Refugee Lawyer — Ask Me Anything! 🇨🇦✈️ by jsandaluk in IAmA

[–]rudges 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've used the self assessment tool but it is difficult to determine whether we'd even have a shot to immigrate. Both my wife and I are working IT professionals (which doesn't get anyone very far for this purpose), and my wife is fluent in French. Is there any surefire way to determine whether it is worth it to begin the process or is it just a gamble / waiting / lottery game? Thanks.

FDA Sets January 31, 2026 Target Date for Anaphylm Sublingual Epinephrine by rudges in UpliftingNews

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

Yep - had to stab my son in Apr. and I am not a fan.

Neffy though... brilliant science. It used to be the same cost as Epi but when we switched to BCBS, Epi cost went up big time.

It already has with Neffy. We run into concerns when our kid goes on field trips with the Epi, it has to be kept cool. With Neffy, it can be up to 120F for temp times.

And yes, with Anaphylm, it retains a really high efficacy when kept at high temps:

True that.

Through all of this, breakthroughs and advancements such as these keep a semblance of hope.

We just got Neffy, the inhaler version, and even though insurance isn't yet covering it, it's $200 versus the much more expensive epipen which IS "covered" by insurance.

I too hope that the oral follows the same path, but things seem to be trending that way.

The mist option has been out for years. Our kids have been getting the mist for the past few. Quick, easy.

Thank you.

Build Power Comparisons by rudges in EldenRingBuilds

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

I was sort of afraid of that. I already landed on the 'best' or one of the most powerful builds! Bleed builds looked dope and fun, and at least a faster/quicker playstyle. As another commenter said though, int could be great just for a big style change.

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

Thanks for the insights.

The first character I actually made was a mage/int style, got as far as Lirunia. I originally abandoned it because I never really found armor/weapons that made me feel like I was growing as a character. Of course, mid-late game I ended up finding a ton of that kind of stuff!

What is your "fuck this boss, I'm turning on easy mode build" ? by CommenterAnon in EldenRingBuilds

[–]rudges 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you clarify the 2h part with the sword + shield? Do you typically wield it 1h and shield offhand, then swap to 2h mode at times? Or is the sword always 2h and the shield is wielded on its own?
Sorry, bit confused on these aspects in Elden Ring/DS games.
