Nah, you gotta get into supplying medical supplies if you want to make real money. For reference, our lab buys silver nitrate at $900/gram, anhydrous ethanol at $2800 a gallon, office chairs cost $4200 and the new microwave oven we're planning on buying will cost $38,000.

It does tend to suck for the good players when groups have gotten a series of shit Monk tanks and then simply stop inviting them to anything. Before the massive Monk Guard/stagger buff way back in Highmaul it was pretty common to see pugs post "LF1M tank NO MONKS"

There's basically two tiers of college degrees, there's the ones that require four semester of calculus and the ones that don't. The ones that do basically all come with a job on graduation, the ones that don't are becoming more and more worthless. Its pretty uncanny how this basically always...

It is the companies that decide, but in Germany the difference between the government, the unions, and the corporations is really blurred. Fun fact: Under the philosophy ofMitbestimmung,in Germany, the union associated with any public corporation with more than 500 employees gets to seat 50% of...

The South Korean system is so competitive that parents have stopped having children, because they know they cannot possibly afford to provide a future for more than one. I think it's down below 1.2 children per woman now. Spending every waking hour studying isn't enough to make it anymore unless...

The real problem with "free college" is you basically create a caste system that divides people based on their grades on some standardized test, or their high school GPA. Because, you know, the countries with free college don't let everyone go to college. It's far, far harder to get into college...

We recently had someone slip and fall here and also try to just get up and go on with their day. My boss wouldn't have any of that either, and it ended up being a big thing because since this is the night shift all the urgent care places are closed. She was literally required to go to the...

No, it's still a flat amount of damage per hit. Promenade boss is about 10k lightning damage every time she's hit or 2500 after resists. Ball Lightning ticks every 0.2 seconds so you die basically instantly. 50 stack blade vortex will instagib you on thorns cast even from the trash mobs.

Evasion isn't random, if you have 50% evade you evade every other hit exactly. You can't take a bunch of rng hits in a row. What is a good spell to use with CWDT/Curse on Hit to apply max level curses that won't also get you instakilled by Lightning Thorns? I used ball lightning and lost my...

Salespeople that go for the blatant emotional manipulation angle. "Well, I don't know if it's still going to be here if you insist on running all over town first. I'm giving you a great deal, why do you feel the need to insult me?" Ohfuck offffff

TBC heroics on release were absolutely absurd and nothing even comes close to that shit. Those dungeons were doable by maybe 2% of the total player base and I'm overestimating that if anything. You had raiding guilds that literally leveled up a bunch of Mage alts to get people through SH...

The funny thing is its not just sports. There's basically zero women in the top tier of basically any competition that actually allows men to play, even non physical ones.

All the traps are based on % of max life/ES, they're the same across all difficulties. I really don't see how Labyrinth is viable on HC at all, one misclick and you're dead and there's absolutely nothing you can do gear or skillpoint wise to avoid it. Just run it 3x to get your Ascendancy points...

TBH I don't have high hopes for Standard. Thaurissan is still legal, FoN + Roar is still legal. We had 2 years of face decks vs. Thaurissan decks until Patron Warrior was nerfed, and now it's just going to go back to that.

Scion seems to enable a lot of builds that would not be possible with any other class as the other classes are stuck with their neighbors on the tree. I'm not sure how super good it is but I figured out that with Scion you can do the equivalent of a MoM/EB/ZO build without going anywhere near...

I had a major accident to exactly this when I was 16. I was the guy turning left and I was content to wait, but some car in traffic stopped and waved me through. I didn't want to at first but the guy in the car behind me started honking and yelling, so I went for it and got nailed at like 50 mph.

90% match rate * 80% graduation rate = 72% chance of actually being able to practice for someone that entered medical school 4-6 years ago. For people that enter today, it's lower because the match rate is expected to decline. Most residency positions are funded by Medicare, and this funding has...

Your family is a pretty huge outlier when it comes to this stuff. I mean, you made it as a lawyer despite law being on average one of the worst career paths there is right now. Unless you graduate from a top school or have perfect grades you're about as employable as a gender studies major, but...

Co worker is back from vacation. Apparently she tried to go scuba diving and was told she was too fat to dive. She then went to a US dive shop for confirmation and they told her the same thing. She's currently ranting about the "size-ist conspiracy" to anyone who will stand still for 15 seconds.

He probably lives in an expensive city area. If you're trying to support a family of 4 living in Manhattan, 500k is probably close to poverty.

That's not how insider trading laws work. To get convicted of insider trading you have to have some kind of legal duty that you're violating, a CEO can't trade on nonpublic information about his corporation because he has a legal duty to that corporation. Without this duty it's perfectly legal...

They also run pyromancer so they can start board clearing as early as turn 2.

Yes, I understand that Germans pay less. You're completely missing the point however, which was that Germany pays half what we do despitenot being single payerand being almost identical to what we have now.

In Germany the only real government involvement in healthcare is that they initially collect the money and then distribute it. The sickness funds are independent nonprofits. They are not run by the government, they have different coverage plans, and each person can pick which one they want. Also...

You cannot just assume another country's cheaper costs are due to their public option. Germany has functionally identical healthcare to what we have now and they still pay half per capita. Europeans take better care of themselves, that's why they pay less. Insurance is a total red herring...

#1 problem with health care in the US is that Americans are chronically incapable of saving any money, so they require several extra layers of bureaucracy to make decisions for them. Why are routine doctor visits something insurance needs to cover? It's beyond stupid and is equivalent to...

There is absolutely no health difference between HFCS and regular sugar. The only reason we even use HFCS is because massive tariffs on sugar are making it cheaper than sugar. Now we should pass another tax to cancel out the previous tax?

The major reason health care in the United States is so expensive is we're willing to pay it and nobody else is. Take, for example, Sofosbuvir/Sovaldi, the Hepatitis C cure that came out last year and cost $90,000 for a course of treatment. That drug is now being sold in SE Asia for $300 per...

The problem with this thing is if there's an accident it will shit radioactive material all over the atmosphere. It's not a lot of radiation, but if you remember people were panicking over the idea that radiation from Fukushima would make it over here despite being dissolved in the entire...

I'm going through this at work today. It's super frustrating because of how self contained this shit is which makes it really hard to attack. One of my co workers just put a "water alkalizer" in the break room, claiming its much healthier than regular water because all diseases are caused by all...

I think I must be going crazy. I've just gotten reamed out by multiple women saying I have "trust issues" and "control issues" because I said I would absolutely never tolerate a woman I was in a serious relationship with "platonically" sleeping in the same bed as a male friend. Has feminism...

Divine Favor isn't great in this metagame, no, but its existence means that if control or even any kind of slower midrange ever looks like it might be good, Divine Favor will be there to make sure Paladin stays on top.

Golden Monkey will probably revitalize Control Warrior since with that you literally don't need any finishers, you can just stuff your deck full of anti-aggro cards and card draw. You don't have to worry about fatigue or not having a good endgame, because you know that monkey wins the game for...

Equality and Divine Favor are both much worse than MC. Both are undercosted by about three mana for their effects, and are the reason you have to play stupid face garbage if you want to beat Paladin, it's the only deck type that doesn't instantly lose to one or the other of these cards.

Germans hate debt and consider it a sign of weakness. You don't want to know what you have to go through to get a mortgage over there.

Paladin is full of overpowered cards, before the Patron nerf it was just suppressed because it couldn't beat Patron Warrior ever. It still can't beat OTK combo decks that ignore the board like Freeze Mage but that's its only remaining weakness. Equality is a 5 or 6-mana effect that for some...

Honestly, I don't get why Handlock is still played at all. Isn't Handlock just a really bad version of Midrange Paladin? What does Handlock have a good matchup against that Midrange Paladin doesn't? As far as I can tell it's just a strictly worse deck with all the win rates being lower.

I have several co-workers on the same floor as me that all have household incomes in the 125-150k range and they're so hard up for money/in debt they have to buy the ripoff short term disability insurance that pays out after 14 days rather than after 30 because missing one paycheck from one...

Stagger brew looks overpowered as fuck, too. 60% Stagger was retarded in BRF and now we get 71% Stagger. 3 charges and 20 sec recharge with KS and TP helping recharge it meaning it's going to be up 100% of the time you're tanking a boss you have to taunt swap every 30 seconds.

How are you dealing with the new 2-attack Marauders? I watched a bunch of replays of bio just horribly failing against Ultras and couldn't figure it out until someone pointed this out to me. The fact that a +3 Marauder only does 14 damage to an Ultralisk seems majorly retarded.
