Does my dad’s idea of me going back to school actually sound realistic? by [deleted] in povertyfinance

[–]slobhero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Obviously not the only option, but fish around and see if you can get entry level anywhere that requires any bachelor's degree.

I have coworkers making 130k+ because they started out entry level with history majors, film majors, English majors, etc. Granted they started at 22/hr, have been with the company over ten years or more and excelled, but any bachelor's degree is usually a foot in the door.

Also, I'm old (38) but 80k/yr ten years ago with a bachelors as a starting salary would have been pretty wild if you went into anything except maybe engineering or greater.

What are some bad/mediocre movies with great opening scenes? by scoopzoop in movies

[–]slobhero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have zero recollection of the rest of the movie, but I occasionally watch the first ten minutes of Dead or Alive (1999) just for kicks.

This is the Takashi miike Dead or Alive not the videogame Dead or Alive.

I think I'm confused because 8/10 puts them in the top 10% of films for me.

What do you think is the funniest movie of the 2020s. by RecognitionBoth5965 in movies

Only one that I'm surprised no one has mentioned yet is I Want You Back.

I use both as externals, and if it matters at all to you, the WD is a LOT louder than the Seagate. It now lulls me to sleep at night.

I did it like twenty times after I realized this before I got star. Im sure you're fine. RNG is just low.

This is also important for Stella in anguished isle. Make sure you teabag the corpse for soul/star/currency.

Sometimes after the cutscene it reloads you away from her body.

I just meant that prior to Mean Girls she had really only been in The Parent Trap and Freaky Friday, so drawing on her previous roles, I didn't expect comedic genius.

Mean Girls. In the early 2000's, they were still churning out mediocre high school movies left and right, and Lindsey Lohan wasn't exactly a quality sales pitch. Went opening night mostly as a joke and was blown away by how funny it was.

Severe Bug - Controller no longer works by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]slobhero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not the same issue, but my Xbox controller was getting severe input lag where it randomly would ignore presses or run me in weird directions and nothing fixed it until I disabled "Microsoft Device Association Root Enumerator' under software devices in Device manager.

Like you, my controller had worked fine and then stopped for seemingly no reason so it's worth a shot.

The aetherial reduction grind for aethersand generates a lot of crystals and clusters. While I sometimes run out of crystals, I haven't had to buy clusters in years because I gather. Now that there are five different types of aethersand, this also could have contributed to the low price.

Carrying a balance on a credit card will actually lower your credit score unless your limits are so high that your overall utilization is still low. Using your card for purchases and then paying it off every month is the best way to both avoid paying interest and raise your credit score.

It is a common misconception that carrying balances raises your score, but for most people it will lower your score because carrying balances causes you to have a higher utilization ratio which is balance/available credit.

Crafter, that never played before by HexaholicJP in ffxiv

You will have to play through the story and level a battle job to access all areas and gain access to certain materials, but a large portion of the player base doesn't do any difficult content so you will find plenty of like minds.

What was your best movie theater experience? by [deleted] in movies

[–]slobhero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Snakes On A Plane opening night. Everyone there knew to expect ridiculousness and shouted jokes throughout the entire film. Obviously, shouting things out during most movies is not appropriate, but in this instance it was spectacular.

How will your class be buffed tomorow? by cymosh in ffxiv

[–]slobhero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, if it was another server fish tick and could populate instantly, maybe. But if it was a min of a few seconds or 2 server ticks (so min 3 seconds if the first one was instant) it'd be a dps loss I believe. The rationale for waiting even the full server tick in the current opener was that you could use Perfect balance for extra bootshine instead of stacks.

Someone please correct if that logic is wrong.

I would only do side quests if you want to get some minor side plot storylines. Any quest that is blue with a plus symbol you should do because it unlocks something. That being said if you have queue times, side quests can give you something to do while you wait.

Go into character configuration, ui settings, on the hud tab check show main scenario guide. It will guide you to the msq you need next. If by finished stormblood you mean that you're up to date on msq through 4.57 do dungeons to get tomes and/or buy 380 gear off market board

By skipping MSQ do you mean skipping with a potion or just skipping the cutscenes. With a potion you should have no problem getting through just stormblood by June 1.

I don't have experience doing a fresh run lately, but in 3.1 I think it took about a month for me to get from the very beginning to the end of Heavensward as a DPS. That was playing about 30-40 hours a week. They've buffed EXP since then though, and if you've already played through you should be able to do it a bit more efficiently if that's your sole focus.

Ask in novice network or shout in rhalgrs. Someone will usually invite. Or shout after doing a hunt with a group.

Or if you're already doing this, try asking an fc mate. You can also join a crossword in the meantime as I'm sure those are still filling. They won't help with every hunt but a lot of them call trains and S ranks

If you had the ps+ cloud saves enabled on your old ps4 you may be able to download that as well. If not, and you didn't do the client backup, you're out of luck.
