    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    I made a paladin on Phinny and hated it so bad. 1-50 is a blast, you always have a group. Farming planes is ok, there are usually few paladins so you fill up on loot pretty quickly. But raiding blows, soloing anything is either stupid slow, or flat out impossible. I mean, they get their shine...

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    yeah instances make it a non issue. Warrior epic is one of the easier ones with instancing in.

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    Warrior epic was retarded back in the day. I felt like Hoshkar had a stupid low chance to drop the scale and Sev was so easy that any old guild would snag him the second he popped.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Competitive guilds don't bench in the traditional sense. You raid your balls off in funneling runs and if a core player burns out, then you get a spot in the competitive run. The 6 hour Mythic guild is going to have a rough go of it these days, unless of course you take our guild approach and...

    Looks like lots of shaman. I think I might do necro or druid then.

    Cord-Cutting, Or How to Stream your Way to Success

    Fire TV box or stick? I run it on both and the Box runs everything I throw at it like a champ. The sticks - well I have 2 generations of those. The older one sucks shit and is a real drag to do anything with. The newer one is almost as fast as the box.

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    Yeah, I wasn't counting the newbie zones since I couldn't get exp there at lvl 50. VP was ok I guess, but the dragons were a lot harder for a whole bunch more of the same loot we got from naggy and vox. If I started playing EQ later on, or levelled up in Kunark I could see it being ok, but...

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    Kunark gave you like 3-4 zones to get xp for 10 levels that equaled out to (at least) the same amount of exp as 1-50. It was a major pain in the ass and aside from epics and a few other pieces, the gear wasn't even majorly better. The dragons were way harder with the same loot even.

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    I dunno why, I always enjoy vanilla levelling quite a bit . This time I hope I can get over the kunark (aka the worst X-Pac in MMO history) hump and really go hard in velious and beyond. Gonna play Pantheon too, but probably won't be on the level. At least for the race anyway.

    I've done all the shit in EQ so many times, mostly just interested in having people to group with.

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    Will there be a few spots for filthy casuals? I'll play for sure, but amount of time is up in the air. Will probably shaman or necro (both maybe even).

    Men's Fashion

    I've never had a job where I had to wear dress shoes. I've always just rocked toned down (all black usually) sneakers and no ones ever said anything. I guess I've always owned cheap dress shoes, but the things dig into my achilles so hard with those thin ass dress socks I could barely stand to...

    Can you run a script as part of your build process? Seems easy enough to script out the unzip, copy extra stuff and re-jar steps.

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    I still have krono so I'm sure I'll waste some time with it. Will probably grind 60, then quit until Kunark is over then come back for Velious.

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    As long as your side work isn't defense related you'll have no problem. Even if it is, it's probably still doable as long as it's not on some contract your company is competing for. On a side note, WSUS is a giant pile of shit. Even more so if you set it up in a disconnected environment. Time...

    Recovering a broken bone

    I fractured my ankle like 6 years ago ( I was 28 then), right at the bottom of the fibula, and walked on it for the rest of the day thinking I just rolled it. That night when I took my shoe off and it was all black and blue and my foot blew up to football size I went to urgent care. I wore the...

    Aside for when I worked for the state of WA, I've always had piss tests and they've always been at some half assed lab where I was more worried my piss would get lost or mixed up with some heroin addicts. I've never enjoyed a drug enough to take it more than 1 or 2 times and they don't test for...

    He should be able to run the google stuff in bridge mode. I'd honestly dump the router though and just hang the switch off of the google unless there is something super special he needs that he can't get from google.

    Drug tests are bullshit anyway. Anyone who's not a complete derelict will pass either with a friends piss or by just giving up drugs for 2 weeks. It's more of a is this guy THAT stupid test than anything.

    Losing your Job

    I'm not sure what scheduling out the vacation would do. They have to pay it out whether you take it or not. I'd see if the new gig is open to letting you start sooner though just in case. It's never happened to me, but I know plenty of people who've had tension between them and the boss and got...

    Building a server for all your needs.

    I have a server that is just my old gaming rig. I run Windows 2008r2 on it and the main services it does are domain controller, windows updates and plex. Well and of course file services. The DC setup was mostly to experiment, but I will admit that being able to use the same account for every...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I don't see why loot generation wouldn't just be a collection of functions (methods if you're oop) that get run to define said properties of the item. It's probably correct to assume that the token is just a bool that says can this person try to generate loot. I don't see how it would be all...

    I know Gin has higher alcohol (generally) than vodka. But for some reason I can drink lots of vodka and just get normal drunk, but like 2-3 gins get me white girl trashed. Why is that?

    Most hard drugs will clear out in 24-72 hours. Definitely stay off the weed though until you get a job. Id also call up some staffing agencies. Id assume NY has plenty of tech work and even though temp positions might be kinda shitty you can always keep looking while you work.

    that's the other thing. Untucked button ups with jeans need to be somewhat short to look right. As a short person this means alterations (generally) and I aint gots the time fo dat.

    Kodi and addons

    I tried out pretty much all of the free ones. Exodus is the only one worth a shit. The live tv ones all go down after a month or two then you gotta hunt for a new one. It's easier to use Exodus and watch stuff after it airs.

    All I think of when I see short sleeve button ups is either bowling or a burger king manager. I wear polo's to work because I have to, but given the choice I'd wear a polo over a short sleeve button up any day.
