    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Late to the party I know but: Depending on your class, take off equipment until your AE of choice no longer oneshots them. I also killed the dwarves the achievement doesn't use to reduce screen clutter. And as has been mentioned you can run out to reset once she's grounded. Did it on...

    I ended up getting a Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 (the 32gb version because 2.2GHz) straight from China. Keep in mind I'm in Europe so things may run different. I ended up waiting ~2 weeks, paying an additional 35 eurobucks of sales tax, and in the end it ran me ~220 Euros. A "brand" phone with the same...

    Bought a Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 (the 32GB version). Now I get to wait a few weeks to have it shipped from china. I hope it doesn't suck.

    Smartphones

    So I found a post from 2013 about a Xiaomi phone in this thread. Does anyone have a "chinese" smartphone? Xiaomi, Meizu, Elephone, Cubot? These run unter 200? for a 5" or 5.5" octacore with 16GB, dual sim, micro-sd slot, full HD display... Looking for real life experience if anyone can...

    Right. Not really a fan of projector setups so I'll go for a 60" Samsung. Those run under 1k? if you don't need 4k, don't think I'd even need 3d.

    No personal gym but I have a stationary bike set up so I can look at my monitor. Three days in the week I get up at 5am instead of 6am and watch some tv series on amazon prime while I do my thing. Then at 6am I shower and get ready for work. Once a week I go to the bouldering gym. You just...

    Elite: Dangerous (Kickstarted Sandbox Space Flight Sim)

    Viper? I think that's what I used for a while. Sick engine sound. Most of my income was bounty hunting at Nav Points for a while, and later at RES. Coupled with Community Goals the bounty hunting did get me some nice cash. Plus, it's "pew pew" instead of space truck simulator 3250. I also...

    Interesting. Our family is complete now with two kids, so I've been thinking about getting snipped too. The wife is on the pill (a version you can use when still breastfeeding) and has been thinking about an IUD. Works for me I guess, but you have to replace those every few years. Pill...

    At a loss here. Our three year old is fixated on me, and while it's awesome to have a daddy's girl, it's really frustrating at times. She won't have her teeth brushed by my wife, won't let my wife dress her, refuses basically every interaction. Everything must be done by daddy. Now that's...

    Watches

    The wife got me a Fossil for our wedding four years ago. I had been looking around for a watch endlessly before that, never wore one for years... surrounded by clocks, a watch is only jewelry at this point. I wear it on special occasions (i.e. going out) and then it goes right back into the box...

    Screen resolutions look shit. I was hoping for cheaper 10" tablets from amazon, but not in exchange for 2010 specs. The 10" is ?199 here, same price as a "regular android" tablet off a discounter which is rocking 1920x1200 pixels and a larger memory out of the box. I'm a huge Amazon fanboi...

    Today was a good day so far. Dropped her off in the morning and hallelujah, I got my goodbye kiss and she just turned around and walked into her group's room. The last three days one of the kindergarten ladies was sick so my girl was missing the person she'd gotten used to over the past two...

    So we transitioned from daycare to kindergarten. Everything went well in the first two weeks, where you only have the kid there for a few hours per day so they get used to the new situation. Marie never gave a fuck about being left in daycare, she liked it there. Some mornings I didn't even...

    Correct. I am the most casual of casuals, and I don't bother. I haven't even seen HFC. I think I did Highmaul twice or so. All I do is login and queue work orders, collect and repost AH, and count my money.
