We never had any of it in writing.
This seems to be a recurring issue with your business. Lot of backdoor country handshake deals that allow them to demand more from you. That and allowing your family to have ties to the store at all. It should just be you and your mom. Every business agreement should be in writing. At the rate your family is stealing from your business, you could have hired someone to work in the store and do the things you're asking them to do as favors.

$1200 for a tree that tall and with the added headache of the power lined is an excellent price. Most in my area charge $2k-$5k and that doesn't always include the stump grinding.

As others are saying, instead of your body slowly absorbing caffeine like it would when drinking coffee, you took a concentrated dose which hit you all at once. Back when I would take caffeine pills, I would take half a pill in the morning, and half at lunch. It was more of a subtle ramp up that way. If I took an entire pill at once, I would be shaking.

It's bad. My wife is a middle school teacher and tells me horror stories. The majority of parents no longer parent. They would rather pacify their child with treats to keep the peace then put in the effort to disipline. Then teachers spend the most of the class period attempting to discipline the kids than teaching. When we were younger, there were always the handful of kids in the class that would act up like this while the majority of the class would follow instructions. Now that's flipped. You have 25 students in a classroom where 5 are trying to learn. The other 20 are walking around the class, eating chips, calling their mom, asking the teacher random personal questions, etc.

We also have the no child left behind act to thank for the nose dive in education. In order for the schools to stay accredited and receive funding, they don't allow teachers to fail students. One school my wife worked in didn't allow a grade below a 50 on any assignment. Meaning a child could not turn in the work and it would be an automatic 50. In this same school, a student was only allowed to fail a grade once. After that, they would be moved to the following grade. Students know this and have no reason to put in effort. My wife's current school allows a student to turn in any late assignments for only 20 points off until the end of the 9 weeks. Due dates mean nothing.

Today she told me about at least 4 students in her 6th grade English class throwing an hour long toddler tantrum because she asked them to copy a sentence from the board into their Chromebook. They didn't understand sentence structure and that capital letters and punctuation didn't matter cause "you know what I'm trying to say without it."

I've been on my complete watch through for about two years now. Been on a break the last couple months but need to get back to it.

I was watching in order for the first several seasons then started jumping around everywhere so I wasn't just watching a long stretch of doodoo. Last couple seasons have been enjoyable. Nothing will come close to that golden age stretch of course but it's interesting seeing how newer writers are handling these characters. Real strange seeing Bart run around with an iPhone.

Was that pre or post 1.0? I'm seeing multiple things saying that maxed Mel aspects counted pre 1.0 but not post 1.0. I had Mel aspects maxed for dozens of runs with nothing popping and no real new dialogue happening with some of the relevant NPCs then as soon as I maxed a non-Mel aspect they instantly popped. This was post 1.0
I didn't buy it until it was out of EA so I'm guessing post 1.0. I also made it a point to interact with those characters while having their aspect equipped. Idk if that made a difference but they at least commented on the weapon.

It's the same in the first game. They don't want to lock completion behind that last statue. Which honestly is nice cause I'd be annoyed at a 32 fear run. I could probably manage it but I'd rather not.

I suppose that makes sense since the only one I have so far is the Black Coat, which is the only one with a maxed non-Mel aspect. I feel like just to be safe, I should max that person's aspect in particular.

Well sounds good. Thanks BlazinBlue!

Im 99% sure it has to be non-Melinoe Aspects btw
Nope it doesn't matter. I maxed the melinoe aspect for 4 of them and got the phrase. Other two weapons maxed a non melinoe and got the phrase. Just the luck of the dialog draw.

Does anyone have access to a source for the means to unlock aspects that don't spoil their names?

Or could post one kindly?
Taken from the first section of the IGN guide.

To get Hidden Aspects to appear in your Silver Pool, you'll need to do quite a lot of work with the base Weapons and Aspects. Before you even have a chance to unlock the Hidden Aspect, you'll need to ensure you have all six of the Nocturnal Arms unlocked and acquired. After that, do the following with each weapon:
-Unlock the three base Aspects.
-Raise the rank of at least 1 Aspect to the max (Rank V)
-In our testing, we did the Aspect of Melino, but any Aspect seems to work.
-Speak to the member of the Unseen associated with the weapon you want the Hidden Aspect for. When they're ready to give you the waking phrase, a large, glowing exclamation mark will be over their head. You may need to get through other story-driven dialogue before you get the waking phrase.
-Witch's Staff: Circe
-Sister Blades: Artemis
-Umbral Flames: Moros
-Moonstone Axe: Charon
-Argent Skull: Medea
-Black Coat: Selene

I found talking to those characters with their aspects helped as well. For Moros, just use his aspect in runs(maybe complete runs?) and speak to him afterwards.

I can't find the quote, but IIRC, the creator didn't really want to make any sequels. He made We Katamari somewhat out of obligation, it was awesome, then he wanted to make more original ideas.
Feels kinda disrespectful in that regard that Namco Bandai made two shitty mobile Katamari games.
From what I remember, the creator is more of an artist than a game maker. He just used the gaming medium to create Katamari Damacy. Was suppose to be a one and done. Then it was a surprise hit and he was convinced to make We Love Katamari.

Cartoon Network reran the original 60's series pretty heavily in the mid-late 90's. I think my little 5 year old sister was a big fan before the movies even came out. It was a hot minute after Pup, but I don't recall it being that dormant. Movie didn't feel like it came out of nowhere, CN would often do weird shit with old stuff they had the license for.

I think the most surprising thing was the actual tone, it could have easily been a bad John K spoof.
Not only the original series but 13 Ghosts, The New Scooby Doo Movies, and all the Hanna Barbera crossover shows that had Scooby in them. If you watched CN, Scooby Doo was relevant.

Generally a fan like that is brushing against its own housing due to misalignment. That or it's cable got lose within the housing and the fan blades are hitting it.

Worst case that friction will reduce the lifespan of the fan and one day it will stop working. Won't affect the console other than being unable to manage airflow as well as it should. May cause the internal components to get a few degrees warmer than they should.

put it this way: youre gonna be expected to push Tech Support and the GSP if you at all can do it. Supervisors when I was there didnt give a shit about anything but upselling TS and GSP.
Similar to how Staples Easy Tech works. You're more a tech salesman than a tech support person. They lose money on laptops and make their money pushing services and accessories. They lose money having you in the back working on PCs and not on the floor selling. We only performed a couple pc services in house and the rest we'd ship them to the service center. Since I was an actual IT person though, the store manager was cool with me fixing most of the pc issues and helping our turn around times. I also refused to upsell people on crap so I always had some of the lowest sales numbers. Lol

Ah that sounds like they're abusing the "and other duties as assigned" part of the job description the way my job does lol
It's not even that. It goes back to my statement of job titles not being standardized across the industry. A Sysadmin at one company can have a completely different set of responsibilities as a Sysadmin at another.

My first job was titled Technical Support Specialist. In many places, that is essentially a helpdesk person that also does some more in depth desktop support. Me though? I was the catch all person for that location so I was reviewing vendor contracts for projects, managing all the networking, phone systems, company cell phones, and configuring both physical and virtual servers. Oh yeah and doing the standard helpdesk stuff. That wasn't abuse...that was the responsibilities listed in the job posting.

I think I have a warped idea of IT salaries. People that report to my husband make about twice the high end of that job listing. They are all pretty specialized though.
It's easy to have a warped view. The IT industry is made up of so many different career paths, many that don't overlap in skills whatsoever. You have Networking, Database, Cybersecurity, Infrastructure, etc. Each of these paths have their own expectations of pay. On top of that, you have the variation of pay based on location and company because job titles aren't standardized in our industry so they are nearly meaningless.

I did a similar thing years ago working as an EasyTech at Staples. I'd leave my career IT job in the afternoon and go work that part time job for 4-5 hours. Was a lot of fun actually. Got to hang around people closer to my age, Staples is chill outside of Back to School season, and I'd use my employee discount for bathroom supplies for our home.

In the IT field, I've found that you really have go into a specialization to make more money. The jobs where you're just doing general support don't pay as much.

If you're just starting out, use that job to help figure out which area of IT you like best. Systems administration, cyber security, networking, etc. Then go after certs in the area of interest you like best, then use those certs to get better jobs.
This. For a IT generalist position, $73k-$102K is solid especially on the higher end of that range.

My suggestion is be like "Hey, we're gonna have sex on "this day." Schedule that shit. Leading up to the day, send sexy texts and love texts to get them in the mood. (I understand with a kid it's really hard, but maybe schedule it around a play date or some shit).

For instance, when my wife and I schedule a day, I'll give her a countdown every morning after i'm at work through text. For instance, "3 days until I get to devour you."

This isn't to say you can't have spontaneous secy times either. Just planning it out in middle age is important.
Good suggestion. If you can't be spontaneous, plan and hype it up. It may fall through on the scheduled date but that happens sometimes.

Yeah, the problem is sometimes it ends up feeling like another chore so theres no way to get in the mood.
And that's some of the vibe I'm getting from how TC is mentioning it. "So I figured might as well suggest something" comes across as "Let's fit this marital chore in since we have a few minutes" instead of framing it to the wife like "Hey sexy. Let's sneak off and be naughty together". That's just how I'm reading it.

I agree it would be hard if you had a smaller child that couldn't be left alone but doesn't really nap to have that alone time. Sometimes my wife and I make it a point to wake up a little early in the morning before we have to start our day. Just a suggestion.
http://i.imgur.com/R15aJJ3.png http://i.imgur.com/NJqp6LS.png
Let me suggest two things.

  1. It could be the time of day you want to cuddle. Do you always want to "cuddle" at a certain time like before bed yet maybe she wants it in the morning?
  2. May be the way you're broaching the subject isn't attractive enough. Suggest it in a different way that comes across as you really wanting her instead of just a boring married throw away "you wanna have sex?" offer.

I mentioned that everyone was used to it being programmed. I'm aware they use contacts/speed dial which is why I said it was programmed. I only mentioned people changing numbers because this is the Internet where everyone always tries to correct you and come up with scenarios to oppose what you wrote so since I have known multiple friends who have in fact changed numbers for various reasons when switching phones/companies/contracts I thought I would mention it.
That's fair. Gotta cover all your bases. Years ago it was a lot more common to change your number up when getting new phones or changing carriers. It's gotten a lot easier now to carry your number around with you.

Not laughing at you or anything or putting you down but as an "old" person who has never had a cellphone in my life and just uses a landline it is always wild to me how many people don't know phone numbers of important stuff in their head.

Like I know my dad, grandparents, close friends, work, doctors office, pharmacy, any place I use regularly I just know all of those numbers in my head and it is always wild to me when people have a phone issue and like don't know their parents number.

Again I get it in a cellphone world where people change numbers and everyone is just used to it being programmed but it still is something that is hard to grasp to me.
It's not that people change cell numbers all the time. It's the fact that people use all of their contacts as a speed dial so they never type in the number when they make a phone call. This leads to never memorizing the number. If you put your friends number in your landlines speed dial then you'd probably forget it eventually.

I was incorrect, I tried the find your phone thing on my laptop and was able to call it.

Thank you so much for the tip!
That's great news. In the future, let me suggest a password manager app. It allows you to safely save log in info, phone numbers, notes, etc in the app and use it across phones and computers. All you need to remember is one secure password to access the app itself. I use 1Password at work and home and it's saved my butt a few times.

If you keep toxic people on a Discord server even though you recognize and admit that they constantly rile people up, that doesn't sound like a Discord server worth being part of imo
Toxic is a strong word. The only person he riles up in the server is himself. Then everyone goes "lol toons" and moves on.

It's so funny people claim the server allows too many toxic people there and also that we also ban people too easily. Yall really can't make up your minds.

Finally made it past oceanus, and actually the next area too. Made it to Chronos, but I only had 24 up and he took me out pretty quickly. I just could not dodge his attack where he tosses a rotating disc lightning quick. I got him like halfway, though I assume there's multiple phases.
Its his scythe but yeah that's such a hard move to avoid. I'm post credits and still get hit by it 50% of the time. The rest of his attacks are easy to avoid once you learn them.

Born of the sea via the castrated testicles of Uranus by...Chronos. So her and Chronos would arguably be Siblings. Though Aprhodite would count the Sea as her mother, I suppose. Instead of Gaia. So I guess that would make her some kind of great aunt or grandma.
According to the Hades wiki(for what that's worth) she's the wife of Hephaestus who is the nephew of Zeus so she married Zag's cousin.

I see, thanks. I noticed her shield was down right when I died. I just panicked with like 20 pinheads on me, I'd been struggling with those that run so seeing a bunch more threw me off. If I had realized her shield was down I think I could've just got her. I was shredding things pretty quickly and had my +500 damage special ready to go. But I wasted it trying to clear the adds instead.
Unfortunately they will continue to respawn so you just need to push through and get your shots in to finish her off. That part is annoying depending on your weapon/boon load out. I frequently get hit a couple times during that phase.

This game is bloody awesome, I'm having a difficult time ranking it against the 1st game since that was also fantastic.
I think maybe the way the story has been unfolding is a little weaker, since Hades gradually opened up in order (I'm also having a harder time against Chronos than I did against Hades in the 1st game & haven't been able to beat the 2nd phase yet).

I'm not sure if it's easier or harder, since I had to rely on God Mode for the 1st game but I've not used it yet on Hades 2.
I'd say he's harder than ||Hades|| only because he has a larger moveset. That said, once you see them in action, they are incredibly telegraphed except for when he throws his spinning scythe in that arc in front of him. There isn't much wind up for that an I still get hit often from it if I'm up close to him.

You'll be sad to learn he's a breeze compared to the other run.
