I liked 1 more than 4. But the concept of grenadiers was definitely a nice addition to the game. I don't like the morale boosts though, some maps you could totally cheat. I forgot which one it was but you have to save Raz and Kai I think? who are surrounded by enemy units. So...I sent in a scout to sprint all the way to them. He died walking there, but then he morale boosted stood up and walked through like 50 grenadiers, shock troopers and scouts shooting at him because he was invincible standing up. This guy saved Raz and Kai. I don't know how but when he made it to them filled with bullet holes and collapsing on his knees and keeling over in front of them, they declared they were saved by the freaking cavalry. While the rest of my units were still at the start.

I decided to never use that tactic again. But boy was it hilarious for that mission.

Yeah the key point to make is the HUMID heat is different from the dry california heat. I went to college with some guys from California and they cried like babies during the summer.

During the summer there will be at LEAST one heat wave. Which is 3 or more days of 90 degree weather. There have been days of 100+ weather but it's not too often. Depends on what part of mass you live in. Eastern mass experiences less snow than western mass. WOOSTER (Worcester) is like dead center of Mass, so experiences more snow than boston, but sometimes less than Springfield. Springfield is odd because it gets kind of protected by the mountains so doesn't experience as much snow as predicted sometimes. Anything further west than that is snow hell I imagine at least looking at what the news says usually for them. Not to mention it's just literal boonies of forest and crap.

Do you have any idea what city you guys are going to live in?

You usually want the money to save for retirement and live worry free...but unlimited and freedom from bills makes the 100k kind of pointless when you're older. You'd have to work that 100k pretty hard to give you a good retirement AND a good current life which the current free things offer.

I mean just on groceries you can do some extreme bullshit. Imma buy me some madagascar beans, saffron and lobsters erryday. Oh yeah I could go to japan and shop there and get kobe beef at the grocery store for like 120 a pound? Who cares, time to make some random ass shit with it because money means nothing in grocery terms, burgers, meatballs meat loaf lol.

There's some expensive ass shit you could get to make some delicious as hell dishes. Cheese prices too much? I can afford the pricey wheel of parmesean cheese, or that expensive stuff like pule or white stilton gold. Caviar? There's so much randomly expensive things you can get. Oh yeah the good milk too, no longer getting that hood shit, the farm made milk is so much better compared to the watered down mess that whatever gallons of milk that groceries typically have. Best part about this all? You can probably have it all delivered to you through amazon prime, they do have their own grocery page. The abuse of free grocery is limitless honestly. You could easily rack up 100k worth of food in a year if you got the top tier ultra rare stuff just to try it out or continue eating it.

Jesus christ I realized some grocery stores have wine and beer selections.

GG even if it was ONLY groceries I'd take it over 100k.

I've been on a PPO for 3 years at work paying just over $100 per paycheck. I have not even gone to the doctor in those 3 years. I've been on a 750-1000 deductible.

This year the HDHP is only $15. The deductible here is $1500. Everything here is on a percentage instead of a fixed copay.

What y'all think?
I would recommend just going to the doctor if you do get the HDHP, that way if something is caught you catch it early and pay less overall rather than paying more down the line. It's easier to resolve cancer before it gets metastatic type of thing. I believe if you have near emergencies definitely use urgent care to pay less overall rather than going to the ER immediately.

I don't have any advice to solve your problem, but maybe try troubleshooting with a sleep app that analyzes your sleep motion?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep&hl=en_US

If worst comes to worst, I'd say try to ask your doctor for a potential sleep study.

Are you feeling tired at all or unusually throughout the day? I doubt you have sleep apnea but who knows. If it's that much of a concern for you it's best to go get tested with a sleep study. The need to pee after waking up that's just a natural thing. It's related to ADH/Vasopressin. At night you secrete more of it so you withhold liquid and then the levels drop as you wake up causing you to want to pee https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8630515.

If you post them I could try to see, but honestly I have no experience, never used a fixed gear myself. You're better off contacting one of your friends about that. But I think it should work out regardless, it depends on the trainer you're using however. I'm sure there might be some on craigslist you can also get for cheap.

bobbaaay posted...
how a fixed gear on a trainer would be less of a workout

This is not necessarily true, on a fluid trainer, the faster you go, the more the fluid resists you, so eventually you reach a point where you just can't go any faster because it's so difficult. It also mimics road conditions pretty nicely honestly.

I use this. It works great after 3 years still. Just make sure to take out any mr. tuffy tire liners or else the friction and heat will give you spontaneous flats.

As far as I know it came with its own quick release rear axle, in fact it had to because it was steel and there's more forces and stuff. That's relatively easy to swap out honestly.

As for what a quick release rear axle is, it's one of these.
http://www.bicyclinglife.com/images/SwingingQR2.gif

Those help you take the wheel off the bike quickly. If they're designed for quick release, it means the attachment point can fit one of those nicely.

As for needing something to prop up your front wheel, you don't need one, you can just use a giant roll of duct tape like I do.

https://www.atwoods.com/media/catalog/product/cache/207e23213cf636ccdef205098cf3c8a3/4/7/470096.png

One of those basically.

Looking at your bike you have a fixed gear bike, so you might not be able to get the most out of a trainer, but it's something. For me changing gears on my bike also changes the resistance for me on a fluid trainer. It also appears that you don't have a quick release on your bike, so I'm not sure how you might be able to put it onto a trainer, but I think you should be able to. Also, I'd recommend clipless pedals because the upstroke while pedaling really helps you go faster and train other muscles too, BUT IT'S NOT NECESSARY, if you don't care about that stuff or you're trying to save money. If you're aiming to just move your feet then you're fine.

Now, i'm pretty universally well-liked around the warehouse, this isn't meant to be a brag, but i've recently acquired a charming personality, positive attitude, got a good sense of humor and people know that i'm a hard worker. People have been telling me that I'm a good PG, they never see me sitting/standing around idly by, and i'm always helping where i can. I'm afraid people are going to start to hate me for this shit, and i know it shouldn't bother me, and that these people are getting paid to do their job, but they're not getting paid extra to handle other people's shit, which i'm forcing them to do. I'm always sure to thank them for their work, as i look at how exhausted they are. It breaks my heart a little. Maybe i'm just too nice, not cut out to see people as just numbers on a spreadsheet.


I mean this sounds like an easy thing to resolve, maybe just tell them to take it slower and you'll tell them when to work harder when you need them to in order to spare them the extra load of work. Otherwise they'll be constantly getting fucked over and sent to pick up people's shit. You have the ability to see this coming ahead, if you know that other aisles need help that aren't even under your watch, just tell them to take it easy for a bit until it clears out. Done. Then they don't get as burned out, appreciate the fact that you're looking out for them, and you still look good in boss' eyes while the others don't have their ducks in a row. Or hell, let them know, you know other aisles need help, you can either work harder and do it if you REALLY want to, or not, I don't give a fuck you're doing good here and that's all you need to do.

I still don't get how balefire works exactly. I understand what they meant by what it does, but I mean...it kind of gets spammed and I'm not sure I realize the consequences of it.

It burns the pattern. If you use it on say a person, then their thread gets burned. How much of it gets burned depends on how powerful the balefire was. This causes the target to effectively be destroyed in the past. When it is just a small thing, the pattern can easily put itself together into its new form, but if enough threads are destroyed, then the stress put on the pattern would be too great and the whole thing would fall apart and destroy the world.


EvenSpoonier posted...

So the basic thing about balefire is that it wipes something out of existence. But if something gets hit with too much balefire at once, the balefire starts killing wiping it out of existence backward in time, to a degree proportional to just how badly it got zapped. This has the consequence of undoing its most recent actions, since it didn't exist to do them, though the person who cast the balefire still remembers what happened "before" the casting.

The effect is very dangerous, because WoT does not follow the many-worlds interpretation: there is only one timeline, and so the Pattern must be unravelled and respun to rewrite history every time balefire is used. Every time this happens, there is a risk everything could simply fail, and the further back in time the balefire has to go, the greater the risk. Fortunately, nobody has managed to balefire something back very far.


Oh this I can somewhat understand, and I guess the power of balefire has an effect. But...This is pretty big spoilers for book five? I think. I lost track since I'm just reading them pretty quickly with no regards to title on my kindle except making sure I'm in order.

Rahvin gets killed by a pretty pissed off Rand, I figured that would have disastrous effects, or maybe they don't mention it until next book. ALSO, it's a bit confusing, I understand they get killed to the point that they don't exist in other people's heads (that was shown by the darkhound biting Mat but not really biting him due to the balefire erasing that history and some people aren't sure about a darkhound attacking), shouldn't Nynaeve have been wondering why she was there in the dream world with Rand, shouldn't people have forgotten about Rahvin at that point? Shouldn't some of the damage he have done been reversed, or maybe he just completely ceases to exist [unlikely since he's thousands of years old], but still, see where I'm going with this?)

I guess I wish they made sense about strong balefire is exactly, it often just gets cited as a bar of light and sizzles with motes of light fading. But I don't know exactly how strong that is, and how damaging it is to unravel days, months, years? of existence.

And as an aside, anyone sad Natael/Asmodean got offed by a mystery, loved his musical jokes.
