    DOTA 2

    I was thinking this was a relic of covid, but apparently last year was still $18M and 2021 was $38M. Not sure why this one is so shit at $3M? Did they not do a pass or something?

    I did 100 pities at Navarn and it still only took me maybe 7-8 hours? You earn basically no silver, but it's not a super long grind. That's with hedgehog though.

    Read something in the last week or so that basically said just that; all of the "growth" we're seeing is government.

    Shit, you nailed my mistake exactly. Was thinking it was PPI. Which, unless those were basis points, 50 PPI would be not good.

    And yet, markets are still going up. I'm guessing people are just thinking the Fed is a failure and they're going to have to give it up.

    I wonder who writes this shit. "Notable roles?" Go look at her acting credits. It's literally all just 1 episode guest spots on TV shows.

    The Marvels (2023)

    Just wanted to correct you on your first statement. You said this was "pre-woke," but the Marxists infiltrated the schools long ago. It may not have been overt, but it was definitely there.

    Or...just stop trying to market superhero movies to women? It's never going to happen. Women aren't drawn to action movies. We used to acknowledge that.

    Nice shit. Where do you get the Khan quests? Our guild will do our double next Sunday. Also, on the carrack, I think I mentioned it a while back, but once I got mine I did the same thing; just completely stopped ocean content. But I went back a bit ago and started getting the blue gear and holy...

    Writers Guild Strike 2023

    What a bizarre request. "Don't dress up as a character for Halloween." What in the fuck does that have to do with the strike at all? Someone going to mistake them for being on set?

    So I decided to give Berserker another try farming potion pieces (just have Manshaum's left). I did Valk train for part of Tshira and it was nice and turn your brain off grinding. Whenever I tried before, Zerker just felt super clunky to me. Not sure what clicked today, but it felt really nice...

    Yeah, my wife's family is in Southern Illinois and we went for the 2017 one, and it's also getting the 2024 one. I'd say it should be a bucket list item for everyone, because it's fucking crazy. Gets instantly dark, the temperature falls rapidly, and it looks cool as hell. From what I've heard...

    I had to basically shame my mom into retiring. I told her even without Social Security, she'd never run out of money. I do think part of it was that one day she started doing the math on what age family members died and she realized she probably has 15-20 good years left that she finally...

    Probably 4 or 5 years ago one of the guys from the Mr Money Mustache forums made a good calculator to account for that, the "Rich, Broke, or Dead" calculator. Really puts things into perspective. Just going to paste in the default one out of laziness. But it's good to play with. The grey part...

    You're forgetting this started with "transitory inflation" in 2021. Sep '21 was 5.39% Sep '22 was 8.20% Sep '23 is 4.10% We're now in compounding territory.

    Moved to the Florida panhandle in 2021. But I was in Ridgecrest (worked at China Lake) for almost a decade. It's basically the northern part, on the other side of the mountains from Death Valley. Best option there was Mediacom with a data cap though.

    The Official Drum Thread

    I waffled back and forth quite a bit on that. There was an electronic Yamaha kit, also I think for around the same price, that I almost went to go see. But everything I read said you should really just go with an acoustic if you can because the feel (mostly bounce) is dramatically different...

    That's why QT is really what's the big driver right now, and not the interest rate hikes. We did well pulling about a trillion out of the system, but we've started to reverse course since April. We need the pace of QT we had for another few years to erase the damage they did post-2008 with over...

    I haven't had that happen yet, thankfully, but I laughed at the thought of it. Been close a few times where I'll get the cheer and pounded on, but make it out barely. I loathe enhancing too. But with stuff like the Slumbering set, Debo's, and less so, Blackstar/Godr, I feel like you're kind of...

    I ended up buying an entry level 5 piece Pearl kit on Facebook marketplace for $300. Probably should've negotiated it down cause it has a fair bit of chrome pitting (only really saw it when I got it outside and started cleaning it up). Have a drum key coming tomorrow. But even with them being...

    I'd go for AP upgrades to start. You can get by pretty well with lower DP. Personally, I'd go for the Blackstar, do two taps, and if it goes you won. If not, probably convert to Godr and tap it to DUO yourself. It may cost you an extra couple billion than it would have buying, but you get to...
