    I'm a partner in a two-man business consultancy, mostly in the pulp and paper industry, based on simulation and optimization tools I build. A bit of low end data science and machine learning on the side. Also, my wife runs a data science department and I try to stay current and occasionally...

    Chat GPT AI

    I use it all the time. I'm not a coder per se but do a lot of modeling in R/python and ChatGPT is a godsend in saving time banging my head on stupid syntax issues or remembering what library/function to use for one task or another.

    Almost everything feels too slow. Frozen orb has fewer projections that move sluggishly compared to D2/3, just feels bad. Barrage has a similar problem with weirdly fat, slow "arrows". Barbarian lunging strike moves faster. Whirlwind looks like a lazy susan instead of something dangerous.

    So you'd rather have perpetually escalating taxes? It's better for long-time owners and about the same as everywhere else for recent buyers.

    In CA it's pretty braindead easy. Assessment is what you paid for the house, period, until the next time the house is sold.

    That's an argument for keeping your own stash loaded, which is fine, that just scales linearly with players. If I understand the explanation, though, all players are sent all nearby players' stashes in addition to their own, causing exponential backend congestion, which is just moronic.

    You've got it backwards. The season is worthless because everything is nerfed and you gain nothing durable whatsoever.

    This. They're more expensive to install than equivalent BTUs of central air, but they're much more efficient by design and will pay back in the long run.

    Rofl, the final reward for completing the season is a respec scroll? Do I read this correctly that there is nothing unique whatsoever that is gained from participating in the season?

    I don't know why they implemented slower speeds at all. If you need more fine-grained positioning, just walk.

    Sure, and that's all remediation companies do anyway. Just saying it warrants being extra careful during the project and cleanup. I've done a bunch of work around cancer outcomes from industrial asbestos exposure and I wouldn't want any of it loose in my house in any form.

    If you're touching popcorn ceilings and your house was built pre-1980's you should check for asbestos. Mesothelioma is no fun.

    I don't hate the scaling changes: Level scaling inside dungeons and most overworld territories has been adjusted in World Tiers III and IV. Monsters will begin to trail behind the player in Level after a certain point (up to a maximum of 5 Levels behind). This change does not affect World...

    Which could be who knows how many years from now. Many don't, but home maintenance and customization isn't a strict function of economic payback. The benefit of redoing your own house is that you get to live in a house with exactly the amenities you want, and you can do it right now without...

    Same shit in my house, also on the docket for later in the year. I definitely need an electrician, though, as I also need a main panel upgrade. Current wiring is old and a clusterfuck. I'm going to put in 40 circuits, each room lights and outlets isolated, multiple high amp circuits to the...

    Depending on how much your local government has a stick up their ass you can be forced to remove unpermitted/code-violating modifications to the house. My wife's aunt was forced to remove a mini split AC in her garage after her neighbors turned her in (fuck those people), and I've heard horror...
