    Getting all the extra skin removed is usually a trade off between extra skin or a scar that spans hip to hip, depending on the skill of the plastic surgeon and how one’s body naturally scars and heals.

    NVidia GeForce RTX 40x0 cards - x2 the power consumption, x2 the performance

    I just recently bought a 4080. Feels bad knowing I’m paying too much, but I’m upgrading from a 970, and I’m not looking to wait six months for maybe a 50 dollar price cut. Even though these 4 series cards should be cheaper, it’s hard to imagine prices really dropping that much. Do you guys...

    Desktop Computers

    Time to replace my almost 10 year old gaming PC. Trying to keep it at ~$3,000. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/C7WPpH Would really love some input on the cooler and motherboard especially. Also, do I need a new copy of windows for a new build or could I somehow use the same key twice? I'm clueless.

    College

    One thing to keep in mind: Some classes are only ‘good’ for ~5 years depending on the nursing program. For example, if you took statistics seven years ago, you may have to take it again so the prerequisite was completed within five years of you starting the program. You should also try to get a...

    Any of you wood bros ever venture into the world of model boat/ship building? I have little to no experience woodworking but have wanted to get into it for years. The cost of tools and wood especially since Covid hit has really made bigger projects tough for me, so I decided ships would be a...

    @Intrinsic you can also adjust the house rules in the options menu and disable enemy collision. I don’t believe it affects achievements.

    Thinking about picking this up today. I could never get into the first one, but I have my self convinced this time around it’ll be different. This is going to fill the elden ring shaped hole in my heart, right? Right?!

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Forgot to mention that along with the power stances colossal weapons, bloodhound step weapon ash was pretty key as well. Big, slow weapons are strong when you have good mobility. As long as I didn’t get stuck directly under her at the start of the waterfowl dance, I could pretty easily...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    The key is to powerstance 2 colossal weapons and use jumping L1 attacks. Three hits and she stance breaks. I was at her two days with no luck. Added another hammer and the damage increase was so great it made all the difference. Got her in about ten attempts after I made that change.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    This fight had me all fucked up. First few attempts I was convinced it's impossible as pure melee/str build. This dragon ruined my night initially. The next day, my winning attempt was maybe the cleanest boss fight I've had in Elden Ring so far and I still get a buzz just thinking about that...

    If you use a weapon that comes with its own ash enchant already and then change the ash to something else, do you lose the original forever unless you loot a copy at some point?

    Looks like you have to time the parry so early. Are you hitting L2 as soon as you see his arm raise?

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    How does parrying work in this game? I’ve been slamming my head against crucible knight for a while and decided to try to parry his slower attacks. Most of the time It looks like my timing is correct, but my parrys won’t break his stance or stagger him at all like I’ve seen happen in videos of...

    You hugged some broad. Use the item she gave you that increases poise. Once the buff wears off, so will her debuff. Go back for unlimited hugs if you want!

    When you guys talk about pulling your money out in the event of a legit bear market, does this mean pulling out money from all investments, including 401k and Roth contributions? If so, how does one convert a Roth or 401k to a cash account? Im assuming this doesn’t involve actually cashing out...

    I saw that. I have that chart saved to my phone and I’ve been studying it, so to speak. Super interesting. I understand the differences in holdings between those indexes - I was more curious about what you personally find appealing about ftec. Thanks, as always, for the explantation!

    @Sanrith Descartes You talk about FTEC a fair amount. Maybe this is a dumb question, but what specifically do you like about this index? Is it anything beyond its holdings and the percentage of each holding within the index? For all I know, those two points may be all you look at. But if there...
