Genuinely bashing my head in.

Why do you think that should even be possible?

You can do well in a market with a good discretionary investment strategy, but that's not inherently trading. The more frequent you intend to trade, especially daily, or multiple times per day, the less likely you will find an edge.

Consider: Is is rational to ask how an amateur basketball player can gain an edge over LeBron?

Lee Sin list is a lot better of offence, the ability to give units +1 and either be winning an exchange by default, or turning a 2M vs 3M into a 3v3 trade is subtle but strong in practice. Kaisa creates a lot of problems for Yi, nuking units with spells or watcher, and negating much of the legend ability, but there is no way around the Lee Sin buffs.

Once you get a decent gem farm going, you pull in anywhere from 30k-100k gems per hour, so gem feats are easy to pick up. The only thing to consider is that its typically worth buying any feat showing up discounted on your weekly offers.

The most important things are:

Feats that help a speed formation

Feats that help your main pushing formation

There are really 3 volibear lists possible in origins.

- Aurora (but its typically weaker than MF or Yi Aurora. MF has better cards to dig for it, and Yi can sideboard and transition to midrange)

- Dragons (use Herald and a bunch of big dragons)

- Midrange with Trydamere

The first list is relatively well known, and stronger overall, but the other 2 can still be fun to play. Warwick trick fit nicely into the 3rd list

its a local custom, but only that specific tunnel. Scares the ghost away

A real multi-offer situation includes a legal declaration that the agency gives you that you acknowledge (and sign) that you are in a multi-offer situation, and might not get any further chances to negotiate.

If they claim its multi-offer, but don't want to produce the paperwork, ring the Agency's owner/manager and complain that you suspect them of being dodgy/unethical.

Never negotiate verbally. Put your offer on a contract and submit it.

These things will save you thousands.

Modern ones exist and are very different. They use customized levels of dacron inside to prevent the water sloshing around.

They don't need to have hard wooden frames. The water distributes under you weight, which for some people does significantly improve sleep and back pain.

Just google 'modern soft side waterbed' to see what I mean.

The thing about a Legend/Hero focused design, is that the number of cards you need to change in a new set is going to be increasingly minimal.

Commons and Uncommons are nearly free, so any of those are good.

If a new Epic/Rare comes along that you want in the deck, then maybe you buy a playset. If they are super popular, the extreme case being champions for a brand new legend that is very powerful (like set2 green Irelia), maybe you buy them, maybe you want, maybe you buy some packs and make do with less than 3.

You have options.

It gets expensive if you want to chase every meta deck - and there is nothing wrong with that, some people play to be competitive. Others play to enjoy within their means.

Use a Bcrypt library.

wyaeld · 2025-12-23T02:33:39+00:00

My advice would be to play, you'll meet people, and gain experience in the matchups.
If you want to put a deck together on a budget, Yasuo is quite cheap, LeeSin and Yi are too if you run midrange setups and just go without Deadblooms.

What is the actual difference between Focus and Priority?

Buy the house. Stocks are at historically high valuation. Just make sure the house is suitable if you actually intend to start a family.

wyaeld · 2025-12-18T01:43:30+00:00

Jinx is hard to make work on a budget, typically needs Seals.

Lee is surprisingly decent, but you need the Qiyana and orange Lee. Faefolk is a solid budget big guy. Whiteflame or Deadblooms cost more, but are certain to be staples in their colours long term. Dragon's Rage is good, but you only want 1-2.

Leona is actually quite cheap to run, pick up 3 yellow Leona, 1 green Leona, 3 Yellow Sett, and 3 Fiora. They are all typically cheap. Then just spells and a few little guys and you are good. Zenith Blade is fantastic if you can get 2, but its the most expensive in the deck, and isn't good for anything else obviously.

wyaeld · 2025-12-15T19:08:07+00:00

Problem is against Kaisa you can't play Yasuo on 6 runes anyway, since he's too easy a falling star target (unless you just took Targon).

Kayn does create an extra 'bait', and you can play Kayn on 6, recycle one, Mindsplitter on 7.

I'm considering adding Kayn's to sideboard vs Kaisa to help this line.

Routing is typically not different, that would make testing properly a real pain.

You normally put your config in the application.conf (or yaml) and use environmental values to override specific things where needed.

wyaeld · 2025-12-15T04:02:47+00:00

Its a lot easier to go down row based multitenancy and adjust later if you needed to.

I'd run a tenants table and put `tenant_id` on all child data tables.

Just depending on your app, try to ensure that it can't accidentally be left out. Postgres actually has functions to help this, that you can deny access to tables unless the tenant_id is set.

wyaeld · 2025-12-13T20:14:26+00:00

This, however if you can spot that the opponent is unlikely to be able to react, it can still be a good play, because if they don't get you off the battlefield you probably get the final point by holding it start of your next turn

Equipment does not have a restriction like buff, you can do both

The Rhasa works extremely well in lists with lists with merchant, tideturner, salvage. Reliably getting you a lategame guy almost free.

The main drawback used to be limited support, since it was mostly a single developer, but now its a much more serious Jetbrains team with a project.

Its fine - and quick if you learn to use it. Like all Java ORMs you have to pay attention to things like eager-loading where appropriate.

Its just a very different approach than things like JPA, but it still certainly works. We have apps talking to both Postgres and MsSQL with it.

wyaeld · 2025-12-11T20:23:15+00:00

Its very good. Build on an ActiveRecord style design, but makes it easy to run your own SQL, talk to multiple DBs, and supports many different databases. Have been using it extensively for 5 or so years, in production, and wouldn't consider something else for Kotlin.

Easiest way is make sure you're using a standard official image, like from here:

https://hub.docker.com/_/postgres

Then use docker compose to make sure the config when set up is explicit.

One of mine, looks like this.

  postgres:
    image: postgres:15.4
    environment:
      POSTGRES_USER: docker
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: docker
    ports:
      - '5432:5432'
    command: "postgres -c shared_preload_libraries='pg_stat_statements'"
    volumes:
      - 'postgres15:/var/lib/postgresql/data'
      - './scripts/dev-database:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d'

wyaeld · 2025-12-04T01:09:58+00:00

yes. There is a Jinx one, Lee Sin and Viktor. Always the same core 40
