    I think in the coming patch Mercy will be back to being a mostly defensive oriented pick. Possibly giving rise to actual different support comps based upon the map and attack/defense. With the Ana buff it may be Mercy + Ana are the best defensive support picks and Moira + Zen the best...

    I don't know if you actually think you're being funny in this thread or not. I hate to break it to you but the definitive answer is you are not.

    Reaper's teleport is vastly underrated. Especially now with the VFX change so unless you're next to him you don't hear the teleport. Not enough people tele post visible chokes and crouch walk to backlines with the guy.

    I tried to determine if you could actually get the PMI stripped from your loan or not and I came to the conclusion it seemed easier to just refi the house. I also got a better rate since it wasn't a low downpayment FHA loan.

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    I'm also concerned with the actual on-field product in say 10 years. With the CTE findings many parents aren't as apt to let their kids play football these days. Fewer athletes means fewer star athletes.

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    My dad and I were discussing this recently. My dad has been a long time season ticket holder. I want to say maybe 10 years now. He's not planning on renewing next year because he just doesn't give a fuck about the NFL this season. I'm even finding my interest fading as well. I tune in to my...

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

    By all logical decisions my last career move was probably a downgrade. But sometimes you have to do what is best for you. If you hate putting in your 8 hours daily it really, really takes a toll on your personal life to the point I'd prefer to have less money but be happier. I was miserable...

    If you assume she lives a fairly happy life for the next year or so you could connect she'll lose the vast amount of power she has/had by no longer being angsty. Or it'll be like every super human ever the evil science man (poppa) will have some way of controlling her with a device.

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    I like Lazor. I wouldn't really want to fire him to get Hue back even if Hue probably is better. Though I guess if Lewis gets fired this year maybe a new head coach would want to bring in a whole new staff anyways.

    This is technically what I did with my loan. I had to get my primary loan down to $420k to avoid a jumbo loan and have a second taken out to accomodate this. Long-term it was a better option. I also paid a point on my second (was super cheap like $600 or something) to match the interest rate...

    You seem to have the opinion where renting is always an incorrect choice and I don't agree with that. In fact I'd argue the most correct choice is renting until you can afford a reasonable down payment to get a proper mortgage without PMI riders.

    Home buying thread

    Shelter isn't optional but PMI is. I get it because my first mortgage I took out required me to get PMI on it. I understand it's purpose and why people get mortgages with PMI but it is 100% just throwing money away since that cash doesn't go towards paying off your principal or interest on the...

    Ah. When I had PMI on my house in Ohio I aggressively was paying to the principal to refi the PMI off the home. It did feel like wormie said like lighting cash on fire.

    The Greatest TV Series of All Time

    My biggest gripe is the repetitive nature. I think this stems from the fact that Curb lacks a quality supporting cast. You can't really follow a B storyline if there is no one to give a shit about. Every episode basically boils down to Larry being narcissistic, egotistical and socially...

    I think Curb is highly, highly overrated on the internet. I couldn't even get through all the seasons. Think I stopped around s4. The new season is alright but not exactly TV gold.

    Stranger Things

    I liked the season well enough. I re-watched S1 just before watching S2 so I lack the rose tinted glasses and I felt for the most part the two seasons were equal. S1 was more cohesive. S2 was a bit all over but I found it actually a bit more entertaining. There was a ton of S2 where shit...

    I always get burnt out during the desert part of Earthbound. There is another power spike of the enemies in the pyramid and toward that time the storyline is petering out.

    Sounds like pretty standard preclose at any food service place. When I had to work close I'd always start at least 30 minutes before actual closing time so I wasn't there until midnight cleaning up shit.

    The Greatest TV Series of All Time

    I recently rewatched Friends with my wife and it is hilarious to see how they water down the show after the first season. They dealt with a ton of social issues with a layer of comedy on top of it. Afterwards BBT and Friends are basically the same show.

    The Greatest TV Series of All Time

    I'll be interested to see how Game of Thrones ages. In like 10 years when someone binges it all never seeing the series before will people think it jumped the shark as much as it feels like the show has? Will they think the twists and turns are mind blowing? I honestly don't know.

    Qdoba has more variety which is a plus over Chipotle. But I think Baha Fresh is better than Qdoba and they have a really similar menu. In terms of burrito bowls I think Chipotle is better than either.

    I kind of agree with Cheese where Wire seems overrated. Is it good? Yes. But everyone talks it up like it is this mindblowing series and I honestly just thought it was a really good TV show. I think I may have actually enjoyed Oz more than The Wire.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    We lived together for so long that our wedding day didn't really feel like that big a deal. We've only been married I think 2.5 years now (or is it 3.5? uh oh) and usually we both forget our anniversary.
