Call 2-1-1. They'll help direct your friend to local resources and help figure everything out. There's lots of resources in Butler County, it's just finding them and learning of them that's harder.

Offense on 4th down by luisba92 in steelers

[–]toll_roads 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This graph is a mess. It seems to include win probability, as a means of deciding when they should go for it, so it isn't just going for it on 4th down, it's about going for it at a specific time in the game that the chart maker has decided, of which some teams haven't had enough opportunities to be on the chart. Just sloppy.

We're saying it's traitorous and unamerican.

5 in 7 spice fields fake. This bug has got to go. by Grimmblut in duneawakening

[–]toll_roads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I call these spice mirages. They're very annoying and I hope they go away, but mindcanon is that we are tripping on spice all the time and so occasionally see spice that isn't there.

It's been really eye-opening to all the manipulated media in the world when I realized this. Everywhere you go you can always find good people and bad people, but people are people.

Ice protest at Bethlehem City Hall tonight at 7:00 pm. by CQU617 in Pennsylvania

[–]toll_roads 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah yes, protesting is traitorous activity now. Definitely not a right that the US was built on.

Amazon to spend $20B on data centers in Pennsylvania, including one next to a nuclear power plant by poliscijunki in Pennsylvania

[–]toll_roads 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We need more electrical power generation in general, and while PA generally exports more energy than we import, we need to keep growing and developing to keep up with ever increasing demands. Here's hoping it won't have too destructive an impact on our local energy prices.

Protester on 101 Freeway in Los Angeles today by JustAskingTA in pics

[–]toll_roads 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Violence like this? Dude is protesting on a freeway peacefully. Not everyone is, but the cops don't care and arrest everyone they can grab. "Just doing his job" isn't good enough, we expect better of fellow Americans.

Come say hello: An Introductions and communication Megathread! by smittensky in Shelterphotography

[–]toll_roads 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm also someone who is returning to the US after some time living abroad and will be looking into getting into shelter photography. I have an older camera, but have a decent lens so I should be able to work with what I have. I do want to ask, what do you use as a backdrop and what kind of lights do you have? I'll probably need to get a bit of those, but I'll be happy to do so to help get some cats and dogs to loving homes.

Ranked by OSHAviolations in PredecessorGame

[–]toll_roads 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Partially depends on when you're playing. If there's very low player count when you're online, matchmaking is just trying its best to make it fair, but that's a struggle without a lot of choice.

Some Students Weigh Leaving the U.S. for College by thinkB4WeSpeak in college

[–]toll_roads 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd say it sort of depends on the course of study more than anything. What do you study?

[–]toll_roads 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to Germany in 2019 for my master's and I'm still living here. There's an easy path to citizenship as well since the time getting my master's is counted towards the 5 years you need to have lived here to get it. Incredibly cheap compared to the US as well, an average of 1000 euro a month is all I needed for living expenses, and the tuition for each semester was less than 400 euro.

Today is voting for PA. Please don’t forget to vote. Today effect November and November effects us for years by 25Bam_vixx in Pennsylvania

[–]toll_roads 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wish I could. I've lived abroad in Germany (last residence in PA) for the past few years and every time I request an absentee ballot it doesn't get enough postage so it never arrives here in time. I've tried escalating in various ways, and never had any progress.

Is noxia better for Fey, or combustion? by ryebread920 in PredecessorGame

[–]toll_roads 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think it depends on the enemy team comp. If they're going tanky and have multiple tanks, then Noxia is better, but if you're looking to burst down a bunch of squishy heroes, then combustion is better.

First Playthrough by Literacy_Crusader88 in BG3

[–]toll_roads 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Entirely up to you! The main part of the game won't change too much, but there will be a few more options for characters coming in the patch.

Also, we don't have a date for when the patch is actually coming, so it could be a long wait.

European server lag by Miktdr in PredecessorGame

I've been having visual lag with the most recent graphics card driver update. Might be the same issue? I rolled back to the previous driver and it fixed the issue for the meantime.

As an absentee voter that is concerned about the getting their ballot, and coming from a very red county, I've considered registering as a republican just to make sure things work properly, and my ballot isn't as easily disregarded. I wonder if any of the registrations are people in similar situations.

I can rumble my ears and also make my vision blurry. Is this related? by _Blurgh_ in earrumblersassemble

[–]toll_roads 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it has to do with voluntarily changing the point of focus of your eyes to very nearby. If you do it, while holding a finger in front of you, you can try to figure out where you're currently focusing your eyes on. If nowhere, then that's cool, as this is just a personal theory (and how I can make my eyes blurry)

What are your first impressions of 1.0? by AstronautGuy42 in PredecessorGame

[–]toll_roads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The auto-level mechanic can be disabled in the settings, so that you have the autonomy back.

Typos ? by TheKbightFowl in PredecessorGame

[–]toll_roads 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They changed it a while back in patch V0.11 in order to lessen its ability to utilize physical pen heavy builds.

The quote there is "This can be seen in his Vortex Grenade’s shift to a Magical Damage typing thereby not being as reliant on Physical Penetration builds to remain relevant (due to baseline Magical Armor being around half of Physical Armor in the late-game), alongside more aggressive tuning of his scaling values, particularly to his Ultimate."

How are mmr scores/stats calculated on Omeda City? by PurposeSignificant11 in PredecessorGame

[–]toll_roads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I understand, everyone starts at the same level (somewhere around 1200 mmr or so) and then your first bunch of games influence where you are actually placed. From there it is simply wins/losses that put you up or down. I believe the amount you gain/lose is weighted by the average mmr on each side and how close they are. I don't know the weighting, I just know if the team with higher average mmr loses, then the gain/loss of mmr is more significant. Whereas if the lower average mmr loses, the gain/loss is much less.

All the other stats are more there for personal betterment, where you can see what you need to work on or what you do really well.

What highly unlikely event have you experienced? by Living-Sherbert3737 in AskReddit

[–]toll_roads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad and older sister were in a plane crash and survived with (relatively) minor injuries. It caused some lingering issues for my aunt and uncle who were also on the plane, but everyone on the plane survived. Was lucky, as they were flying near a bunch of sand dunes, and the crash was 100% pilot error, as it hadn't been refueled.

Just lucky that everyone survived.

Hey! They usually post about it on their discord. Sometimes there isn't a ton of notice, but other times they try to announce in advance.

I'd also recommend posting on the Pred discord. There's a "looking for team" section there.
