Due to frustrations about the posters here. It seems like the vast majority of posters here constantly spread misinformation and ethical opinions about

1) Covid. Denying COVID, supporting anti vaccine stuff, but also being completely wrong about the dangers of COVID and being overly afraid and judgmental. If you havent gone to pubmed and studied the data yourself (not a tall order) you really shouldnt be talking. And you probably shouldnt be talking unless you work in the field and have an actual education
2) incel comments and also anti-incel comments. Both are immensely cringe-worth conversations. It is remarkable that virgin shaming is literally in style right now. it is best to couther incels by actual responding to their arguments: The idea that a small group of men sleeping with a large percentage of women is completely untrue.
3) Responding to comments with the intent of trying to beat them instead of having an actual conversation. Strategies include nonsequiturs, attacking a character and not the argument, or hyper focusing on small details in a comment to try and nullify the entire statement.
4) Political topics, especially those made with all-capitalized words like CANCELLED. No one cares about what your opinions on politics are. There is no definitive answer to various political topics such as whether abortion is right or wrong. I believe a woman has a right to her own body, but some people believe that abortion is murder. The conversation will never end or change. and you will not convince anyone of anything.
5) Generalized virtue signaling. No one cares that you arent racist or sexist. You arent a better person for not being a terrible person.

I looked at my ignore list and saw upwards of 72 ignored users on there. I have decided that it isn''t really worth posting here anymore.

A 35-inch by 35-inch piece of marble that is 54 inches long is cut lengthwise along its diagonal. Find the perimeter and area of the cross section formed by the cut. Round each answer to the nearest whole number.
you realize you can just google that question and get the answer instantly

"square of length 35,

perimeter P = 4s = 4*35 = 140 u (u is arbitrary unit length, eg meters)
area A = bh/2 (one half base times height!)

A = (35*35) / 2 = 612.5 u**2 (squared arbitrary length units, eg meters**2)"

if this even wrong there are like 6 other results a student could compare to

Not sure how that would be related.

A really interesting study was published awhile ago and showed that students will turn in things just before the due time predominantly. By making it due at 12 you inhibit their learning

Good. Nurses should be vaccinated and if they aren't they shouldn't be working as a nurse.
Can confirm. Am a nurse.

So the problem is the vast and wide education and title of a nurse.

You can have a nurse with an associates degree that failed high school. While passing associated nursing is relatively challenging, there are some easy programs and people can slip through.

Then you can have BSN nurses who went to good colleges.

Then masters degree nurses who work as doctors essentially (more like permanent residents) and work as nurse pracititoners and make 180k year. then crnas that make 250k a year and control anesthesia (google crna wage)

the title nurse is just too wide, just like the title doctor. the point is....there are some really uneducated nurses out there, and some really smart ones.

They're synergies for Blessed Hammer, adding 14% damage per point (so 560% total). A nearly 7-times boost in damage is pretty good methinks. In fact, it's more than that with the Concentration boost.
it is, iirc you should put one point into concentration than max Blessed aim and vigor before you even level cocentration further

Why the fuck would you max Vigor? That's a terrible waste of points. You put one point in it. Same with Blessed Aim. I play a zealadin but I can't think of a reason to put more than 1 point in each.

Anyway...I finally got the belt I wanted the other day...String of Ears, unfortunately it was Ethereal. Feels bad yo.
i am fine with people not understanding all the mechanics, but why talk like you have any fucking idea of how to play if you dont even understand the basic leveling system. 40 points in vigor and blessed combined will more than triple blessed hammer damage due to synergies

Thanks. Any suggested base for a base for it? Do all Paladin shields have resists? And should I use my socket craft reward for it or try and get it to drop?
it is really easy to get the runes from countess runs, i wouldnt spend too much time focusing on finding a great shell. great shells are hard to get and worth far more than the runes

i think the best shields though are the elite targes in hell because they have high base all res

just craft a shield as soon possible. i just went with the big blue tower shields in act 5. i think mine had 30 all res or something on it

Going to try again and see how far I get before another glitch ruins my play through. Im going with a Hammer based Paladin this time. Any tips? I have some decent gear like a Spirit Crystal Sword, a Lore helm, a Stealth chest, a Ravenfrost, and a Rhyme shield for it once hes high enough level. What skill should I prioritize first? I know Blessed Hammer, Concentration, Blesses Aim and Vigor are all important.
you should prioritize making another spirit item for your shield

you need hit the fcr break point for paladin for hamemrs to feel snappy and feel good in close range combat imo. make sure to get fcr ammy, fcr rings, and fcr gloves.

I've seen the narrative that the Incredibles is the best pixar film sometimes, and it always leaves me a little confused. It just doesn't have anything that particularly stands out. It isnt particularly funny or inspiring(Ratatouille), it isn't particularly culturally interesting (coco, soul), it doesn't have that great of a plot (finding nemo), it doens'y really have standout characters (toy story) etc, it isn't very original or artsy (wall-e), it isnt very sentimental (Up).

I just don't really get it. Maybe if you really like superheroes or something or really identify with a standard white family or something...sure?

It's just pretty much a better Cars imo.

To each their own though. I think it is particularly telling how all the other pixar films that received sequels were really solid and incredibles was also pretty down-right mediocre.

i like lightning type spells btw
Lightning is not viable till you get the most expensive item in the the game: infinity

The best build is either dedicated cold sorc using blizzard who farms specific areas without cold immune, or a fire ice hybrid that combines frozen orb and a fire spell usually meteor or fireball. You won't do as much dmg as pure cold but can farm more areas

There are a lot of factors:
-Lack if financial education. A lot of players come from a really shitty home/neighborhood, and never learned anything about money. They are poor their entire life through college, and then they get a multi million dollar check all of a sudden, and they have no clue what to do.
-Moochers. Everyone that has any connection w/ the athlete comes out of the woodwork for a handout, and it snowballs. I remember some interviews where athletes had like 5 mortgages they were paying for their family, 30+ cell phone bills, cars, etc.
-Scams. Lots of financial advisors go to every athlete claiming they know exactly what to do, plus tons of fake or terrible investments come forth that scammers promise will make a profit.
-Moochers. Every person you have ever met or are connected with will be coming out of the woodwork for a handout.
-They dont stop spending when the paychecks stop. Making a million a year, they live very lavish lifestyles, and a year out of the league if they try to keep that up they will go broke.
it's not lack of education. football players have notoriously low IQs and additional brain damage caused by concussion. executive functioning is what is primarily damaged, which controls self-control, organizational skills, etc

not to mention football players live incredibly sheltered lives where coaches and team control most of their day. they dont develop independent skills
