Touche :( I fell for that one buying my first new car. Probably fell for some stupid recruiter tricks first time too. Oh well, live and learn, cars and recruiters.

I've never tried it myself, but I'm surprised you say there's no difference. It seems the higher protein content would affect the chewyness and shape of the cookie if you changed nothing else in the recipe.

I mean, I know what you're saying, I get your point. I'm just debating how often it actually works to the very end of the process. Get the recruit excited(sounds cool, I'll interview just in case, maybe they won't actually offer me something anyway, etc), go through the whole process, but when...

That reminds me, why are recruiters often stingy about telling you how much the job pays? If it meets my requirements, I will more than likely talk to you about the job. But if it's noticeably below what I would need to hop jobs, why do they still insist on calling you and trying to sell you...

Loot spec is new to me. I thought it was just for quest items. If I select the same loot spec as someone else in the group, we'll both roll on it regardless of what we're wearing? Also, how does the game decide what gear corresponds to which spec? Are world bosses different in that everyone...

Guess I'm a little clueless how looting in groups/raids work now. I'm used to loot popping up and people picking greed/need then the game showing the rolls each person got. Does the game decide this all for you based on your current spec and gear? What if I'm dps and want to collect some tank...

If a game could handle exposition/lore similar to the Malazan series of books, that would be great. Or Mad Max: Fury Road for those who haven't read those books. Basically, we're not going to tell you shit unless it comes up naturally in dialogue or events. Now, go catch up. It's confusing...

You're right, it's gear setups. Which, I'm still not sure what precisely that means. The amount of setups it does seems only influenced by the "stat points" setting, but that's set to 500 by default while simcraft doesn't have a setting for that I can find. The simcraft results say a scaling...

Do video game characters count?

Installed AMR's local client. Not sure I like the whole web interface part, thought I would have the results locally, but whatever. I would say overall that AMR has nice presentation and interface than simcraft. Also, it's easier to disable certain things like pots, flasks, and food if you...

Yes, but you need to use the local client to do the intensive simulations. The website won't let you run stat weight sims.

I put my arms spec into both, 160k dps from AMR and 164k dps from simulation craft. The stat ordering agreed(I didn't run AMR's local client to get weights) and other important factors like Colossus Smash debuff uptime and Mortal Strike executions were pretty close too. Simcraft's presentation...

Why? Probably still the best tank in the game even after nerfing IP. I would go druid or paladin before switching to an avoidance/self healing tank.

Can you get that reward in heroics? I already outgear normals and I've done...maybe half?

Any recommendations for a stat weight mod? I'm finding lots of situations where I have to compare gear across ilvls where the lower one is ideal stats but the upper one is not(eww, crit). Would love for fury to be better since crit isn't that much worse for it than arms and prot. Most of its...

Too bad almost the entire left part of the prot artifact fucking blows.

The same could be said for fury and their rage dump, rampage. I know you can eventually outgear everything and shit will die quickly to any spec. But at my current ilvl(830), enrage vs second wind and victory rush, it's a big difference sometimes in hairy situations. I do agree about managing...

I can't figure out the discrepancy between real logs and simcraft results. Do people, even top end raiders, just suck at arms and even fury rotations? I'll admit I haven't tried either in a sustained situation yet but I've found arms much better than fury for soloing and questing. That +30%...

$5k pre-tax for dependent care account or $3k for claiming expenses on tax return for the credit. I'm sure you know the latter is affected by AGI, so you probably get close to nothing.

I think you have to itemize your tax return to deduct medical expenses. Most people that own a home are likely already itemizing for the mortgage-related deductions. Dependent care account allows you to put aside tax-free money above the limit allowed to be claimed on your tax return. FSAs...

I found when comparing our high-monthly, low-deduction health plan to the HSA plan, you would have to use up the HSA max contribution($6750 for 2016) each year for the HSA to be as expensive. Our post-adjusted medical expenses didn't come even close to that, so we chose the HSA plan. I plan to...

The guy has Hellgate: London on his resume too, no?

That your left hand can talk is impressive itself.

So, win/win.

Of course. I was being sarcastic. Fuck RNG.

You shouldn't keyboard turn anymore.

It definitely wasn't a good movie. Usually my bar for "bad movie" is how many times a character or the plot itself does something that makes no sense. Basically, my wtf meter being tripped. That magneto scene was one. The dialogue was bad but I especially disliked the policeman getting a...

Hmmm, that seems oddly specific. Wouldn't you need to drop down into Assembly to bypass compiler optimizations and get that kind of behavior?

The mental rigors of fucking a_skeleton_03 take that long to process, accept, and rebury in the forgotten parts of her memory. Then a couple minutes to apply some KY.

How easy are the world bosses? Show up and it's pound town until loot just like the blue world quests? I'm still at ilvl 803, so not sure if I should even bother.

It's a fun scene that's completely out of context. For a movie that's otherwise forgettable, it's understandable that people would pick out that scene as good.

Is it common for game to utilize threading? I don't stare at my task monitor routinely, but it seems quite common just to see a game parked on one core and that's it.

RNG is good for the game.

I don't think Stellaris was intended to have combat similar to EU4.

If you don't open a legendary after 39 packs(in one set), your next one is guaranteed to have one. So, a legendary every 40 packs at the very least. I think it's 10 for epics.

They said they planned on 2 expansions and 1 adventure per year.

Seriously, please stop putting crit on my plate.

My wife dropped hormonal birth control about a half year ago and it's been much better since. Fewer headaches and an increased sex drive. Now, of course some of that might be placebo. Also, no one does something like drop birth control in a vacuum. That's a huge change and people's behavior...

This kind of discussion makes me wish for a hearthstone simulator. This is exactly what monte carlo was made for.

The social aspect can be fun. And it can be bad when the margins are so tight it brings out the worst in people. I agree with yerm in that it doesn't have to be the pinnacle of gear progression. I think a lot less people would participate in cat herding if the gear reward wasn't there...
