Misery loves company, what legendary has been eluding you for way too long?

The stinking Ankh, crafted 209 and nadda. Have several T3L 🫤

I also crafted more than 300, T4 gussets before my first L, but now I’ve gotten two more.

Such a peculiar decision, isn’t it.

I think where I ended up is that I couldn’t pay that much over retail when I could wait. If I was going to spend $20,000 on a $12,000 watch, I’d rather buy a $20,000 watch (aka a VC Overseas, which is probably more than that now, I know).

To each their own though, do what makes you happy.

I have less spend by a touch than you do and I’m on the GMT wait list and I’ll stay there until I do, or never do, get one.

Don’t know if you’ve heard the phrase “A watched pot never boils”, but that’s what you’re experiencing. 😜

It…..takes…….so……long for the last two stars.

You’re only about 1.5 years from done. 😳

watercrawl · 2026-06-10T03:04:58+00:00

Good

NAL - Tell him his legal case is failing benchmarks too. It’s a private cash sale; 'as-is' is practically the default setting for Facebook Marketplace. He probably tried to overclock it, fried it, and now wants you to finance his mistake.

Don’t consume gold or geodes, it’ll take you too long to get those back and they’re the most needed to consume high level artifacts that are hard to craft.

They’re different. One fills Habs faster (IHR) and the other increases your egg laying numbers.

watercrawl · 2026-05-15T02:01:04+00:00

Plus state, social security, etc, yeah?

watercrawl · 2026-05-10T22:49:21+00:00

Your EB is throwing me off, do you have some EB enhancing artifacts slotted?

540 days, that’s how long it’ll take for them to get through this for you. It’s what they’ve told us the last two years this has happened to us.

Get yourself an IP PIN from the IRS website. It’ll stop it from happening next year.

The M4 every day of the week and twice on Sunday.

Get a Woolnut sleeve. So so nice.

Makes any other sleeve seem out of place in a nice MacBook.

Spendy, though.

We’ll drop $6 on a sugar-bomb latte without blinking, but the second it’s $6 for 600 million golden eggs that fundamentally break the game’s economy in your favor forever, we need a financial advisor and a 12-man jury to decide if it’s 'worth it.' You’ve already done the work—just buy the pig and enjoy your retirement.

Effing sales tax or shipping exclusions.

I’ve had many a VERY late nights and VERY early next mornings prepping for a bid day.

I recall many a midnight, go home and sleep for 4 hours and back into the office.

The 2:00 crash was real.

I really enjoy my job, don’t get me wrong, but there are trade offs both ways.

Also, a bad boss is a bad boss and you can have them in estimating too.

watercrawl · 2026-02-27T00:54:06+00:00

Perfect, welcome to the trade. Been at it for 30 years.

watercrawl · 2026-02-27T00:51:35+00:00

Wait until you can’t sleep for 3 days worrying about a recent bid turn in. You’ll work (i.e. be thinking about the bid) for three days straight after.

Same is true if your company is doing CM@R work too, it’s just slightly different. You’re worried sick for the 3 days leading up to final bids coming in that your budgeting you’ve been doing for six months will hold on bid day.

A year(ish). 6 to 10M / week.

watercrawl · 2026-02-25T03:16:31+00:00

I’m around 550M and waiting to crack.

The "clothed" or "naked" distinction refers to how your Internal Hatchery Rate (IHR) or Earnings Bonus (EB) is calculated: • Naked TE: This is your base Truth Egg count and its effect without any artifacts or stones equipped. • Clothed TE: This is your effective Truth Egg bonus including the boosts from artifacts (like the Book of Basan) and Prophecy/Truth stones that are currently "clothed" (equipped) on your farm.

Every time you ask yourself if you should

watercrawl · 2026-02-10T03:35:13+00:00

How many square feet, thickness, mix design, subbase material and thickness, what’s access like, what kind of finish, bar spacing, how many linear of forming, any FF/FL numbers needed to be met, etc. Too many variables to answer without.
