    The Fast Food Thread

    Most of the food you eat likely mixes sweet and savory. Pizza for instance. Sweet tomato sauce (also an acid) with savory cheese. It's one of the basic principles in cooking because it's delicious.

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Hrmmm. There aren't many zealots here for the coins themselves. The tech is what interests me and seeing how it evolves is why I still pay attention at all to the crypto markets. I have a very small investment in GBTC and that's it. Most of the discussion here lately seems to revolve around...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    You seem to be thinking about it purely from an investment standpoint and not from a technology standpoint. Not sure what to tell you about that.

    In a relatively new game world or through new content I can agree scaling isn't a great idea. In 14 year old content that nobody actually gives a shit about? Scaling is perfect for that.

    There hasn't been any danger in the leveling process in WoW since like TBC. Scaling didn't change any of that. Silly argument is silly. Besides, there are still areas of the world they could leave unscaled if they wanted to like they do with Suramar in Legion and the islands in MoP. And you...

    I think the idea behind Monero specifically is that there is no trail. I've never actually bought a crypto currency but I believe Monero in particular is very "discreet" and is favored by the less savory types for criminal transactions. There would be a record of you removing the money from your...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    No fundamentals? The idea behind the software is sound, and investment institutions are even trying to create their own versions if for nothing else but to increase transaction speed while lowering costs. The volatility of BTC in particular in based on fear, greed and irrational exuberance...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    At the risk of derailing this into a crypto discussion I do have a question about using crypto as a wealth shelter during a divorce. Is it a legitimate legal strategy to hide your money in something like Monero during a divorce? Or would there be some sort of legal ramifications for doing so...

    That was not the fault of scaling, that was the fault of them increasing the amount of exp you needed to level by 60% while simultaneously nerfing heirloom items and player power. Then you put that together with stat squish and ability pruning and you find yourself not even able to counter...

    Scaling is fantastic for older content. Everything stays relevant for the duration of that particular content's level range. It's a great change and I even completed loremaster as a result of it.

    Yes, it is true. Most guilds do not re-clear him weekly. His loot table really is atrocious considering how hard the fight is. About a month ago Method was streaming a raid where they were attempting him and wiped for 3 hours before finally just calling the raid. They just gave up on a boss they...

    I really hope this patch renews my interest. I think it will because they are finally reverting the ridiculous leveling changes they made in 7.3.5 so I will at least have a reason to finish off the few characters I still have left under 90. That alone should give me some incentive to keep...

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

    If you give them a real world problem you are hoping they can solve, you should let them use real world tools, including google. Asking someone to write code on a whiteboard is idiotic and proves nothing other than memorization.

    Another week here and gone. My Mythic+ cache has only given me 2 385 azerite pieces (both were shoulders with the same trait) and 1 weapon. I've gotten plenty of cloaks though! I'll be so pretty one day.

    I doubt it. From my perspective the only thing dwarfing the amount of money made via player retention is the size of the egos of those in charge. Many of the changes they made for this expansion don't seem to jive with financial gains, unless you just like to use the lazy "blizzard has the...

    It isn't a question. That type of behavior is a game people play, and men do stupid shit like this too, that they think makes them more intriguing or desirable to opposite sex. Games like these that may have seemed cute or compelling when you were 18 get old very quick. Some people just never...

    Went into Uldir and got an Archive piece on my DH, figured every 3 bosses I killed would add a stack until I was caught up. Nope, can only get one stack per week. Excellent design decision. More punishment for alts or main swapping, because everyone loved how terrible it was at the beginning of...

Now I just remove...

    I 5 box but only to farm or to make WQs more worthwhile. When Legion made everything multitap it made multiboxing to farm very worthwhile and a great time saver. As you said trying to multibox group content is pure anti-social behavior and it's more frustrating than rewarding usually anyway.

    There seems to be a lot of naivete amongst PC gamers as well. Many of them are socially awkward and never expected much of themselves outside of gaming so they are willing to fool themselves into thinking shit jobs like that are "passions" or "following their dreams". I hear it amongst streamers...

    It's too bad that Turkey is such an inferior bird. The one of those I'd look forward to eating is Brutul's smoked turkey, because that's the only way turkey tastes good. I'd even pass on deep/flash fried turkey. Not that you guys look like you did a bad job or anything. Turkey is just kinda meh.

    You would get a lot more job leads if you did. As a software developer you're a fool if you don't have a LinkedIn profile. Though typically you don't find jobs via LinkedIn. Recruiters use it to find you so they can submit you for jobs.

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

    Unless you are coding specifically for mathematical or scientific systems I would argue that code is more art than science. CS degrees are not IS degrees, even though both focus around software development.

    I personally have no problem with it at all, it's a service that people obviously want or there would be no demand. It doesn't bother me one bit but a lot of people get offended that it ruins the integrity of the game if you can buy the same gear that they so "painstakingly earned".

    All of the things you listed are things legitimate players do constantly, they are in no way a good metric to use to identify RMT. Selling and carrying are not prohibited and people carry their friends all the time for free, or as others have pointed out, for being twitch subs or donors, etc...

    They do care, and they do ban for selling runs/carries for real money. But he seems to think everyone who sells for real money is unintelligent, spams on the same b.net account they run on, and works out the details in game in various chats leaving an easy to follow trail of breadcrumbs.

    They spam on throwaway or trial accounts that list the website you can buy the run from. There is no interaction in the game at all between the buyer and seller to coordinate the sale. It's all done on third party websites and then you just join the group as you normally would any other group...

    Once the 8.1 leveling changes go live I'll probably start playing more again but even I have stopped doing much of anything. M+ was the only reason I was still actively playing but that became a hassle and a chore as well, especially this past week.
