    DOTA 2

    Hahaha, I use a smurf account when I'm learning a hero I have NFC about, like Invoker or Meepo, so I'm technically a newbie when playing them.

    DOTA 2

    I played a game with a PL and vs a Warlock and the PL was tripping balls when I told him "Use your diffussal on the golem". The warlock was also WTF on public channel "SOMEONE IS HACKING, MY GOLEM IS GONE". Hilarious shit. Yes, it was a normal game on a smurf account

    Working for Amazon Web Services

    afaik life working for amazon is crappy, the company is cheap (that's why they can sell really cheap) so while salary you'll be good, forget about any quirks like free coffee or services.

    From Anaheim to Seattle - Travel Advice

    Yeah, the suggestion is to take the PCH either on the way up or the way down. I did Seattle-LA last year, although mostly I-5. It was... interesting in some parts, boring as hell in some others (central california.. yawn). If you want to check the ocean and stuff, there's Cannon Beach in...

    Florida is a shithole

    Southern Florida is a shithole completely. So many "friends" from venezuela live in Doral/Weston (Miami area) and Miami proper is terrible, I've gone there at least once a year since I was a kid (and in fact was almost born in miami, my mother had contractions at the airport before boarding a...

    Manager wanting to change work hours on you -- what to do?

    This is the worst idea ever, once you pass on another job because they sucked up to you on the previous one means that your current manager will know that you would leave in a heartbeat and will slowly start transferring duties from you and make you less irreplaceable until they ultimately fire you.

    DOTA 2

    Again make his TP trigger cooldown on stun would solve this. As it is now he can just recontinue casting so it's a race to kill him, not many "supports" can burst that much damage (Lion?)

    DOTA 2

    You're right, there are plenty of heroes with stun. I guess if NP is stunned the cooldown on the spell (10 secs at level 4?) should trigger like it does for TPs. His TP is unaffected until he actually ports.

    DOTA 2

    I'd make NP TP interrupt on damage. if you have no stunners in your team, and if you're support (how many have a stun/interrupt? cm, sd, bane and vs) you have no way to stop a laughing porting NP to push the other lane, repeat ad nauseaum.

    Relocation package questions

    Mine from Seattle to LA was - 6000$ in moving expenses (I didn't have much, so my actual budget was very under this) - 1 Round trip flight from seattle to LA (I went first to check the area out) - I could stay in the corporate apartment for something like 5 months, the lease was up in...

    What is more important... Salary or fringe benefits?

    Flexible schedule is a big point for me. I usually get to work at 9:30 leave at 5, 5:30. I can work from home here and then, we don't have a vacation policy so I can take as many days as I want (given that I don't lag on any project), have an amazing view of LAX / Beaches. The benefits are...

    Vancouver, BC

    How hard is it to find a place to rent? Do they do lots of credit checks? I recently got a SIN (and a canadian residence card) but I've been living in the US for the past two years, so I have no credit information under that SIN. Can I use my US Credit history when looking for a place in canada?

    It's all pretty much homogeneous, you'll be hitting the bars/restaurants in that Redondo/Hermosa/Manhattan corridor. Westside Rentals is a must do if you're looking for rentals in LA; everybody here uses it. You could potentially drive around the area you want to live and take note of for...

    What could possibly cause major migraines after taking a nap in the afternoon? It might be some unrelated to the insomnia topic but is definitely related to sleep.

    I found San Diego to a be a bit boring after a while, don't get me wrong, is a really awesome city with probably the best weather in all California but after a couple of weeks there I was "ok... what else there is to do?" At least LA has the same (if not more) entertainment options than NYC.
