I don’t really agree with that. My reason for grinding agility was never to get stamina back faster, but to get the shortcuts. Once I got the ones I needed, It became about getting to 99.
And with the amount of people with 99 in agility now, there is absolutely no clout to chase. Hasn’t been for 10 years really.
It’s also not like it was made easier to 99, it just got less shitty having a low level.

Literally had to put a sign on my door saying to use the god damn doorbell with an arrow pointing directly at it. The pizza guy would then call me, asking why I didn’t open when he knocked. Maybe because I can’t hear your fucking knock, which is why I bought a god damn doorbell! Fuck the public.

I suppose it’s about intentions, but as someone who always looked to settle down and find the person to live the rest of my life is, a big agegap can be pretty problematic later in life.
Like the obvious one: your partner dying while you’re still just middle aged.
Having to take care of an old person with old person needs as a 55-65 year old.
If they want children in a few years, OP could be 75 by the time the child moves out.
Again, it’s all about what the intentions are, but these things are worth considering.
- Comment on Where there's a violence there's a way 1 week ago:
You need to direct that violence in the right direction. You don’t start a revolution by executing the dude taking drive through orders at burger king.
Try kidnapping a tech from your internet provider and cut off toes every few minutes until your wifi works. I guarentee you it’ll be up an running before you get to the second foot.
For the mods, though I know we’re not on Reddit: this is a joke.

Quite possibly. With that in mind it was probably designed from the inside. That way there’s not much you can do about the exterior.

- Comment on Researchers Scrape 2 Billion Discord Messages and Publish Them Online 2 weeks ago:
Discord is genuinely a great tool for what I used to use Skype for. Talking to my friends, and sharing dumb memes with them in a groupchat format. Companies need to learn that using it as a forum, a Q&A service, a wiki or any other information sharing purpose, is simply fucking retarded.
- Comment on Grieve with me 2 weeks ago:
I worked as a carpenter until a few years ago. My charging port would constantly get filled with sawdust, plasterdust and whatever other dust happened to be around that day. I ended up buying an induction charger and it has been the absolutely best purchase I’ve ever made.
I tried solving the problem with those small cover things you can put in the port, but they would constantly fall out.

- Comment on Over a hundred thousand Dune Awakening players got swallowed by the sandworm | Massively Overpowered 2 weeks ago:
I don’t mind very punishing death mechanics, but when pvp is involved I absolutely hate it. I play more than the average person, but when some sweaty ass pvp’er who plays 80 hours/week shows up, it’s just never going to be any kind of competitive fight. There is no way I will ever be able to do anything against tgat kind of player, and I’m also not in any way interested in trying. I like pve, not pvp.
- Comment on What techniques do bad faith users use online to overwhelm other users in online discussion and arguments? 2 weeks ago:
And you keep denying that the republican administration is CURRENTLY actively supporting the genocide, along with imprisoning people in concentration camps. You’re not arguing in good faith, and I’m not wasting any more of my time on you.
- Comment on What techniques do bad faith users use online to overwhelm other users in online discussion and arguments? 2 weeks ago:
And the republicans have 70% of their policy be genocide. Not just genocide of the palestinians, but genocide of non-gender conforming people and non-straight people.
It’s like comparing someone who doesn’t care that someone in another country is killing people, with someone who actively wants to kill people in your own back yard, and also doesn’t give a shit that someone is killing people in another country. By not voting for the first person, you’re allowing the second person do to whatever they want.
- Comment on What techniques do bad faith users use online to overwhelm other users in online discussion and arguments? 2 weeks ago:
The problem is, the other option is 70% genocide. So by not voting for the 30% genocide, you’re enabling the 70% genocide.

- Comment on Apple blocks Fortnite's return to iPhone in US 2 weeks ago:
Here in Denmark we need the government 2FA to pay for our stuff online. It’s an extra identity check on the credit card to make sure the card hasn’t been stolen. We don’t do government vouchers here, because we have a very good safetynet based on a salary from the government if we’re jobless. Kinda like UBI, but you only get it if you don’t have a job, so not entirely UBI. The rate isn’t anything good, but it’s enough to survive.
Our 2FA is used for by far most things. Like if I want to login on my phone carriers website, I’ll use the 2FA. Need to check up on my taxes? 2FA. Sign legal documents? 2FA. The way it works is, I’ve chosen a username which I write on the website login page, no password is used here. Then I open the 2FA app, login, grant access. If I try to login to a website on anything else than my phone, I need to scan a QR code displayed on the website aswell. This way I only need to remember the password for the 2FA and my username. We haven’t had any issues with security in this system in the 4,5 it’s been online.

It’s a pretty good system, if it’s any interrest it’s in Denmark.
- Comment on Apple blocks Fortnite's return to iPhone in US 2 weeks ago:
My government 2FA can’t work on those OSs. Could get a physical device that shows the code, but that’s nowhere near as practical. Without that 2FA I can’t pay online, check mail from the government, login to my bank, move my adress, change my phone plan. Everything is set up through the 2FA, which is convenient as fuck, and super safe, but requires either Apple or Android.

And lets be real here for a second. It costs actual money to develop and update Plex. All these people being butthurt about no longer being able to watch everything for free are entitled as fuck. It’s okay to pay developers for their time and expertise. A carpenter expects you to pay them. A painter also expects you to pay them. A software engineer expects to be paid for their work, and they won’t if people use their software for free. If you don’t want to pay for it, download your own shit, and if you’re hosting for a lot of users, tell all the users to download their own shit.

Scandinavia, don’t know about the rest of Europe, but up here philips is pretty much exclusively for cheap furniture.
- Comment on The Home Depot tax at work! 3 weeks ago:
No, it’s not. Slow growth leads to a tighter grain, greater density, and reduced moisture content. All of those things make it stronger and more stable. That means less twisting and warping.
Sure, but in practice it’s all going onto a pallet and stored in badly humidity and temperature controlled warehouses, where it will dry out, then rehumidify, dry out, rehumidify, and so forth day after day. It doesn’t really matter how “good” the wood is, when its storing conditions are shit.
I recently did a renovation on my 1953 bungalow. The Douglas fir studs I removed from a wall are both laser straight and tough as guts. That wood is so hard that you can’t drive a modern nail into it without drilling a pilot hole first.
As a carpenter, I really have to ask you, why would you ever want this though? Sure, you may only need a post every 6 feet, but in reality, nomatter the strength, you’re going to frame it to be compatible with with your interior lining. Strength of wood is seriously not needed or wanted today. It just makes the wood expensive, heavy as fuck, and difficult to work with.
And while the wood may very well have been very straight, that’s what happens when you nail it into a frame, which will straighten it out, and place it in a controlled environment like inside a wall for 70 years. It’s going to conform to that shape. I have seen plenty of dense wood in buildings be crooked as a bow, because it wasn’t limited in its movement, or because it wasn’t shielded from constant change in the environment.
- Comment on The Home Depot tax at work! 3 weeks ago:
Possibly, but in practice it’s not going to be that much of a factor. If a piece of wood is laying in the middle of a big pile of wood in a warehouse without humidity control or temperature control, with a big garage door opening and closing 1000 times every day, like most building suppliers have, the wood is going to be twisted as fuck no matter how dense it is.
- Comment on The Home Depot tax at work! 3 weeks ago:
The wood will be stronger, sure, but in modern framing you don’t actually need the added strength. Slowly grown wood is going to be as crooked as fast grown wood. It’s a question about how and where it’s kept. If the wood goes through a lot of drying and remoisturing (not a native speaker, it seems like the wrong word, sorry) the wood will begin to twist and turn. If it’s being kept at a stable moisture and temperature, or at least being dried out consistently, it will stay straight.
- Comment on The Home Depot tax at work! 3 weeks ago:
It’s an interresting difference. Where I am, you can’t get construction screws with phillips. I don’t know when we switched, but I started as a carpenter apprentice about 10 years ago, and back then everything was torx.

There’s good reason to be a hyper-frustrated leftist in this shitty world. Not sure I see it as a safe space echo chamber though. Everyone is welcome to join and voice their opinion as long as they aren’t being racists, bigots or spreading disinformation on most instances. Problem is that the right wing around the world only really has one policy, and that’s being racist biggots who try to spread fear and hate while denying simple scientific facts and data.
