    I will say there are times where I wish I had a more "professional" grade vacuum sealer. Particularly on meats with higher moisture content or if I want to seal something with a liquid for a quick pickle or the like. My Foodsaver simply sucks all the liquid out even when I use the "Moist" setting.

    But why would anyone do this? At least with the ad on you know when it's about to end instead of just staring at a black screen lol.

    The Queen's Gambit

    Watched the first 3 episodes. Pretty good. Acting is good. Story is relatable but not over the top. They spend a little too much time on the "Here's how it happened" childhood piece but I'm a sucker for a good chess TV show/Movie and there aren't nearly enough of them. So far in those episodes...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Kiting was an accidental game mechanic? How actually stupid were the EQ devs? I get there are always unintended side effects but any dipshit with more than 1 brain cell could see what snare effects would be used for.

    They show you that so you can compare what it would cost over 5 years for each lender. That's all that is. A loan that appears to have a better rate, may end up costing more over 5 years because of differences in refinancing costs. Though I agree it's stupid considering these are 15 year loans...

    That's the total cost of refinancing fees (listed there as upfront costs) + actual mortgage monthly payments over 5 years.

    Heh, 3x5 isn't enough volume to make significant gains? Have you never seen Jim Wendler's 5/3/1 program? It focuses on even less volume than 3x5, and it works. Really well. It's also great for beginners and older guys like me because it focuses on slow, safe progress...

    Scaling is a pretty good solution for older content. Its kind of stupid for current content but it works really well for legacy stuff.

    The Mythic+ system could have been a great success if there was any real reason to keep pushing keys. As it stands the only reason people do it is because of a third party scoring system and yet there are still people who do it simply for that. If they added achievements and cosmetics/mounts at...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    This is the kind of thinking that gets you to a point where developers start believing they know how every player will play the game and starts designing systems to babysit players instead of a game world. People run around picking contested flowers so they can sell them on the AH in current...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Why does this matter? The encounter only drops a certain amount of loot, if people want to zerg it let them, let the drama ensue when 100 people want the 3 items that drop. And let people bring 25 for those same 3 items. Why can't developers understand this? Let the players decide how to play...

    Lol, yea because Chinese farmers are known for their grouping game prowess and being able to contest camps against real players. Hey guys, everything needs to be instanced because otherwise Chinese farmers get everything. Hahahaha

    I also never said less reward, I said the instanced version would be soulbound and have level restrictions. It would be the same exact loot otherwise.

    Then it also makes sense for the gear, skills and talents to go to level 25. Not 30.

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    I've always wondered why every developer seems to take a binary approach to instancing. Either pretty much everything is instanced, or nothing is. Why? In either scenario you are designing a dungeon, so why not have an uninstanced overworld version and an instanced version. It's the same assets...

    Looks like maybe some new developments in the Scott Peterson conviction. The Hulu documentary (I think it's called The Murder of Laci Peterson) is an interesting watch. https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/15/us/scott-peterson-murder-convictions-to-be-reexamined/index.html

    The yolo portion of being approached with a contract is to yolo your rate. If they say no, who cares, you weren't planning on leaving your salaried job anyway. If they say yes... well... good for you. I got a 70k/yr pay increase when I did this. And I was already making very, very good money...

    The girls get it done butt hurt is funny considering the show was making fun of campaigns like that and every single "girl" involved made fun of it as well. Starlight, Maeve and Stormfront all rolled their eyes at being forced to do it.

    Well, earnings are on the 15th and previous earnings were the best ever, so there may be some hype involved. Though I like it long because of their investment in fintech and crypto. It's time for a recognizable name brand in the crypto space.
