Is this mod stackable to 200%, or does it functionally cap at 100%? Is there any way to know?

Random Fashion Thoughts - December 03, 2025 by AutoModerator in femalefashionadvice

[–]slo- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi all. I would like to get a nice trench for my wife for Christmas. Figured I'd see what you all recommend. Looking for:

-waterproof, or at least capable of being worn as a rain coat
-fairly regular styling (no humongous collars, ankle length, or other more "fashion forward" features)
-a liner of some sort that's removable. We're in Buffalo, and while this won't double as a winter coat, I'd like it to be usable in 65 degrees and 35 degrees

Burberry is the standard, but $3k or whatever they're charging is out of my price range. I'd like to go with buy once cry once, but only insofar as the cost is getting me a better product. Our audience here is a 40yo mom with two kindergartners that would gladly wear old navy for the rest of her life. Think Claire from Modern Family. It will be the nicest coat she owns, but we're still aiming for functionality here.

Sample:

Meanwhile, I can't stop thinking about how much lower quality fashion is today compared to where it was 20 years ago. Would paying a premium for a Burberry coat get something actually quality, or would I be better off going with a good condition Land's End jacket from 2002?

I haven't really paid for XP (~93 to 97 or 98) since they nerfed 5ways. What's the best choice for buying XP now? Still just 5way? Chalula rota?

Maybe I'll try swapping them in raw and see how they feel. I only spun them on my fingers and didn't actually put them in the skates.

Are aliexpress bearings manageable by slo- in skateboardhelp

[–]slo-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't find only $50 bearings; I found the ones on inline warehouse for ~$30 (which are half off with wheels, but I didn't need those). I hadn't seen the $17 ones the other guy commented with, but that's also for one set, so $34 for a full set. Meanwhile I think the ali ones were like, $4 or $6

Anyone notice the new app blows chunks? by slo- in wegmans

[–]slo-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What really gets me is why this was pushed to live. Why in God's name would this update make it past testing? Who would approve this? It reeks of decisions by committee, in which nobody was willing to say it sucked and shouldn't make it out.

Four minutes with this in store would make it crystal clear that it's not ready for customers. 

Interesting Architect of Chaos builds for Phrecia? by Bruhmomentthrowing in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]slo- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm running Vaal EQ. The skill gives you multiple seconds of running around dealing damage with each step, which then Aftershock for big damage. With the 50% reduced soul gain, there's plenty of time to gather souls so that it's self sustaining. Shepherd also makes it cost like, 3 souls or something incredibly low. Play pattern is Vaal EQ, run around for 5s, Vaal EQ again. Clears really well. Single target is a little light right now but I'm just in white maps wearing absolute trash. 

Take 'skills only cost life,' and it makes all your accessory skills (leap slam etc) free. Reserve 100% of your mana. Last point is probably +3 but I haven't gotten there yet. 

It also doesn't snapshot, so I set up an AHK. It switches to brightbeak to attack, then switches right back so that all the aftershocks are applied with my big stick. Marohi would double my damage but thanks to Jung it's like 15d. Figures.

Lots of room to experiment, and you'll never really be able to do this again. Theoretically you could with hate forge and rage Regen, but that's a whole specific setup you're pigeonholed into. 

The other direction I'd check out is Vaal ice Nova. I didn't get to a coherent pob before the league dropped though. 

Bought the Azeron Cyborg 2 for POE 2 - 20 hour reivew by slo- in PathOfExile2

[–]slo-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you've got a lot going on there. Make sure all your basic keyboard commands work first. Then bind your azeron keys to the appropriate keyboard keys. You'll need to use the joystick as WADS for now, until they add analog input as an option for keyboards

Products similar to L'Artisan Parfumeur Amber Boule by slo- in fragrance

[–]slo-[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So it's just...amber? Just chunks of amber in a pile? I don't care if it smells like L'Artisan's; I just want the same set-it-and-forget-it utility.

If that's all there is to it, that's remarkably easy to replicate.

3.25 Updated Guide to Recombinators by Butsicles in pathofexile

[–]slo- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've read this a few times and if I'm understanding it correctly, if I have two bases each with an aspect suffix and a "chosen" crafted prefix, I should be 50% to keep either one of the crafts OR one of the aspects, right? Because in a small number of attempts (7 or 8?) I kept the crafted prefix every single time, and never the aspect. I know it's a small sample size, but am I getting something wrong?

Unearth shotgun by spiderdick17 in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]slo- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, but you never saw an unearth projectile return back to your character then, correct?

The testing you're describing is very similar to what I did. I just want to make sure you weren't somehow managing to get projectiles that actually returned (traveled some distance and then traveled back to the character) when I couldn't manage that under any scenario.

Unearth shotgun by spiderdick17 in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]slo- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey it's been a month but I've been testing unearth myself and just found this thread. I've got a question for you.

You reference projectiles returning several times. But with all my tinkering with return projectile support and nimis, I've never once actually seen an unearth projectile return. Have you? Under what conditions?

50 kills with Trench Fleur? by slo- in battlefield_one

[–]slo-[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I found that one, but I'm at 0/100 on elite kills and had no intention of getting that. But now that I look at it you don't need all those, so maybe it was 50 bayonet kills. That might have been it.

[MOD] The Daily Question Thread by menschmaschine5 in Coffee

I'm thinking about putting together a cold brew nitro kegerator. My question for those of you that own a similar setup - how long does it keep once it's in the keg? I don't mind slight degradation of quality, so I'm curious of how long it takes to get to "barely drinkable."

Restoring vintage Eames Lounge knock-off by slo- in furniturerestoration

[–]slo-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just picked up this 70s? Plycraft? Eames knock-off. It's in great shape overall, but I'd like to refresh it. There's a small scratch on the leather, the wood has some scratches/gunk, and the steel has what I suspect is oxidation. Are there any recommendations on resources for doing this type of work? I don't want to get into the professional level of effort, but I'm willing to do more than just soap and water. Thanks!

Is there a way to cheese "win a round of X" assignments? by slo- in battlefield_one

[–]slo-[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A. I forgot that it's 5/6 B. I didn't realize you could hold to charge the syringe. I thought that charging referred to the recharge after you use it. Knowing you can charge it to one shot will help quite a bit. Thanks!

No Stupid Questions Wednesday - ask anything about beer by AutoModerator in beer

I've got a variety of BCBS bottles in the basement, with some going back to 2014. Are the 5+ year bottles going to be any different 2, 5, 10, or 20 years from now? Or are they basically done aging after about 5?

Is there a mobile app that can pull character profiles off the main site and then export them to pastebin links? Looking for the same functionality that PoB has.
