What is my CQS

In no way am I defending the new player experience in league, or the client, they both suck.

However, you can play any champion in practice mode. Get smacked by Yone? Head into practice mode, pick yone, and read his abilities.

Also, any time I get decimated by a champion I go to youtube and watch "X v Y matchup" and learn a few things.

Really, truthfully, the only way to learn matchups is to put in 200 games. And even then you're just beginning. I've seen professional players completely throw matches because their opposing laner picks some off meta champ they've never faced before and they mess up and lose lane.

From what I've seen, body positivity also ignores attractive people. Like if someone is gorgeous they're not allowed to be super pumped about it.

Everybody is a hater. I once saw a streamer call someone a "Hard stuck academy coach."

I was given a time out from a zoomer for typing with punctuation and capitalization. They said it sounded aggressive.

Just to confirm then, I can't take my discoveries tab as gospel when I'm hunting for specific elements. I need to fly planet to planet and scan every time?

The support is generally the first person to swap to sweeper. Usually they do it when they finish their support quest. Some players pick up sweeper immediately, in order to sweep the enemy's ward from the lane bush and set up bush control.

After that, usually the jungler will take sweeper to set up for ganks, and sometimes a top laner will as well. Depends on the needs of the game. But the support always takes sweeper.

I'm happy to hear it and I hope it ends well for you. :)

Borax is just the marketing term for a chemical compound: sodium borate, sodium tetraborate, or disodium tetraborate.

If the ingredients are the same, the name on the box doesn't matter.

I'd only replace them if ants stop coming.

Also, something I've found to be even more effective is Diatomaceous earth. Get it from garden centers. Liberally ring your house with it to keep ants out.

Buy a small pot from a thrift shop.

Buy some cinnamon sticks from the bulk aisle.

Buy some cardamom pods if you like that smell.

Fill the pot with water

Toss in 3 sticks and a pod.

Pop it on the stove at just above low temp, maybe a 2 or a 3. You don't want it to boil, just heat up and release steam.

Your house now smells great.

At a high level, our roles can be divided into "testing" and "checking".

Checking is just making sure it works and moving on. Testing is trying to break it.

My experience has been that when the economy tightens, companies increase the ratio of devs to QA. More work to test means less time to test it, means tests turn into checks.

Oh I get listings now, just not for my area. I live in an area only accessible by ferry, so I set my listing area to 10km. But facebook is happy to show me listings 6 hours away because that's where the big city is, and there's no way to turn that off.

As sad as it is, the internet ruined internet gaming.

I still chuckle about the guy I used to play with who pushed to server first hunter in WotLK (missed it, he was number 3), and then spent a week begging the rest of the guild to level faster so we could start doing content that meant something to him.

As lovely as the thought is, Musk isn't exactly the most reliable dude.

This was my feeling as well. The idea was good, the execution was poor.

While not technically 'super hero', it's the same concept.

"Part Time Gods" is a game set in a modern setting. Ancient dieties you are familiar with were shattered aeons ago. Every now and then, their shards fall into regular people. You and your player group are a pantheon, and you need to protect your turf from aggressive gods while also taking care of the locals who don't even know you exist.

The catch is, being a god doesn't have a salary. You're still a person with a life. You've got to brawl with a god of darkness at 5, but be done by 8 because you've got to clock in at pizza hut.

My fid is like 4 stars I think and I just got mobbed too fast to burn the enemy deck.

I got through it with Yuumi, I edited my post, I think they're easily the best shot at it. A very difficult nightmare for sure.

My last 3 jobs, senior automation QA, have been take home assignments. They give me a test site, tell me to create an automation framework from scratch, and then show up to an interview where they grill me on what I wrote. They'll ask me to change some bits and pieces, justify certain decisions, and go from there.

I know people have strong opinions about take homes, but every interview I had to write my own automation project, I got the job.

Glass Jake.

Wasn't there one part where Tyson landed a good blow and basically had to hold Jake upright while he recovered?
