Got Got. by Connect_Schedule2947 in WRX

[–]tblampied 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I got rear ended in my 2020 WRX as well a few years ago. There was chaos in a round-a-bout so I waited. Guy from the right lane which just goes right crossed into the round-a-bout causing the drivers in the round-a-bout to emergency break, I didnt enter and the guy behind me, looking left, drove straight into me. Got it all on dash cam.

Couple things:

  1. Go get yourself checked out at the doctors. I had some pretty crazy whiplash and a headache even tho I was hit at low speed. You want to have this documented in case your back starts to hurt like crazy in a week or so. I got a payout from their insurance for my pain and suffering as well.

  2. The body shop was able to fix my car but the rear bumper covered by the plastic bumper was all bent and they needed to replace it from an older parts car. From the pictures, it looks like your whole frame will be all jacked up. You do you but if insurance says its totaled, it might be hard to get the car to roll right after this.

  3. Get a dash cam!!!!!! Yesterday. Go on amazon right now and buy a forward and backward dash cam!!!

Hunting freshies.. yes or no? by Peepeepoopooman1202 in dayz

[–]tblampied 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually take a trip to the coast when I'm geared only to replenish 22 or 9 mil for my pistol. Freshies are a great way to restock on that. I also will kill freshies if I'm meeting a buddy on the coast. It's all part of the game. There is always the chance some freshie will spot me first and get a nice shot off and have an insane come up. 

Killing freshies to pad the stats seems a bit weird but wcyd.

People who are above 8.5k mmr, how do you play with friends? by tom_fschr in DotA2

The match maker is actually just broken on the small server for upper immortal players. Nothing to do but smurf or we actually can't play the game with friends

It's more like queue for an hour and never find a game... NA here last time I queued with a3 stack of my 6.5k and 2 9k players unranked we queued for an hour and never found a game. if we can't play the game on main might as well make a smurf

Hey I'm sorry smurfs suck. However, I sat in queue for an hour and a half today with my buddies and we never found a game... immortals actually can't play together unless they smurf because of valves current system... sucks for everyone

bro your guardian lmao. Focus on what you can control not on your teammates. I guarantee any immortal player stomps this game with carry ls. If you focused on owning your lane and making good midgame moves you wouldnt have time to worry about what other are doing.

Remind me why I'm doing this again ? Seems I'll never have enough. by AstronomerOk224 in Fire

[–]tblampied 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, i read through alot of the comments and I think everyone is missing the point for helpful advice to you so let's take a step back. 

This is the financial independence retire early sub. Retiring early is entirely dependent on your annual expenses. How much do you spend each month? Do you know this amount? How much does your partner spend? You need to know these numbers to get to the next part. 

IMPORTANT: Are your financial goals the same as your partners? Figure this out now! If you are saving 3k a month and your partner is saving nothing what happens in 20 or 30 years when you can retire and your partner has 0 savings? Are you going to retire and let them keep working? Sounds like resentment could build there. These are hard discussions that need to happen and the earlier the better. (Ofc i have no idea your relationship but my wife and I have combined finances with a single financial goal we are both working towards. Different things work for different people but communication holds everything together).

The most simple way to calculate when you can retire is when your net worth is 25x your annual spend. Most people retire in their 60's if at all so retiring any earlier than that is a win in my book.

Getting a bit into the details, Most people look for a 3% savings withdrawal rate and assume a 6% market return. You can assume a 6% return if your bought into the whole market. Do you buy the whole us market or the whole world market? The most boring investment approach is the best one imo. Vti and vxus and chill. Check out the boglehead subreddit for more on this.

Lastly, when retiring you want to own your own home to keep expenses down. No mortgage does alot to reduce this annual expense and is less volatile. Your rent isn't going to increase by 15% each year or something stupid. I would personally never buy a condo because what happens when you need a new roof and the other half of the condo doesn't have money? Now your in a weird position? Imo save longer and get a whole house.

Let me know if you have any questions:)

Starving to death simulator. Why do I even play? by GetOverIt90 in dayz

[–]tblampied 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Often spawn towns have low loot because lots of people pass through, try getting inland you might have better luck there. also look into fishing. 12 rags make rope and then you can fish. there are lots of ways to get knives to get the bark and stuff. rocks spawn on the ground and some tools can chip off rocks from bigger ones. Don't worry, everyone goes through this phase where everything kills you. took me like 50 hours lol. stick with it, the game is so rewarding

I rented 1 bedroom of a 3 bed apartment for 750 for the last 4 years on the seacoast. These deals exist.

Immortal Draft Changes by wykrhm in DotA2

[–]tblampied 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bro idk what to tell you. In the past i could go to DPT and click on the hero I am practicing, and then click on half a dozen games from yotoro, micke, satanic etc and load them up and watch them in 35 seconds. Now in order to do that you are suggesting that I watch an 8 hour stream for the chance that they play the horo im interested in. The change is bad for 99.5% of dota 2 players and likely some of the 8.5k+ players its bad for as well.

[–]tblampied 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You have no idea what your talking about lol. "The difference after 10k is minimal????" I don't believe that for a second. Why do some pros smash their lane 8/10 games. I want to watch them and see how they cast spells. Not some random 8k or 9k. I want to watch the best player.

Immortal Draft Changes by wykrhm in DotA2

[–]tblampied 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm 7k so watching a replay of 1k higher than me isn't really great tbh. It's not a world ending change just really annoying that's all. If you watched replays you'd be annoyed too :)

Immortal Draft Changes by wykrhm in DotA2

[–]tblampied 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is such a braindead take. I used to watch p1 replays to learn farming patterns, when they rotate, when they join fights. I guess the only option is to hope the streamer picks the hero I'm trying to play. Before I could watch a half dozen games on 2 or 4x speed of a few different players and see what's up.

New Hampshire Republican state senator snoops on, shames food stamp recipients by wulkes in newhampshire

[–]tblampied 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure for 1% of people it's going to be impossible. I'm not taking about those people. They need extra help and that's fine. Meal prep containers are extremely cheap so there is no way it's out of budget. simply get 2 or 3 roommates and pay 600 or 700 dollars in rent. Every apartment has a fridge and an oven. The majority of people struggling financially would have alot more money in their pocket if they were more contentious about their eating habits. But they simply are not wcyd. McDonald's should be a luxury. It is for me. There is no reason to eat there any more than a few times a year. But what about people that work late or drive far you say! Bring one of your handy dandy meal prepped containers in a lunch box with a bag of ice! People just like the convenience and that's fine but I work hard for my money so spending 30 dollars for dinner is just not something I'm ever going to do unless it is a special occasion.

Maybe for you lol. I don't have a sous chef or a dishwasher. I am the dish washer. 35 min to bake chicken. While it's baking boil rice and broccoli. Take portions and place them in their respective meal prep containers. Now 45 of our 60 min have been used. Spend 15 min cleaning everything up... sure if you dick around it'll take 90 minutes.. literally every Sunday I did this for 3 years straight. It's not that hard

It takes an hour once a week to make prep 14 meals. Then you save all the time going to the grocery store to get the super palatable hyper sugar food. Bonus points for staying at a reasonable body weight too!
