    First World Problems

    Windows 10 no longer shows the time in the bottom right, so if I want to see what time it is I have to reach over and pick up my cell phone.

    StarCraft 2

    Does anyone know how it's decided whether a warp-in is going to be 15 seconds or 5 seconds? I've lost literally 5 games today that I would have won with a 5 second warp in. I thought it was 5 seconds when close to a nexus, but I'm getting 15 even when defending expansions. Zerg going hatch...

    Honestly, I never understood the "If you report getting raped to the police, they won't believe you" complaints. Well, no, they won't. They can't just outright take your word for it, they have to actually investigate. Would you want the police to just believe the accuser if you got accused of a...

    Hearthstone

    Finley is pretty great, to be honest. If your opponent is more aggressive than you, pick Druid, Warrior, or Priest to heal yourself. It also functions as a turn 1 1/3 to eat aggro minions. Against a controlling opponent, you can pick Paladin, Hunter, or Warlock. Late game it won't be terrible...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Well, there is a huge ilvl gulf that they can insert gear more gear into. Mythic raiders are at like 730-735 and Legion STARTS at ilvl800 (this is what the heirloom trinkets scale up to at 110) with normal/heroic dungeons probably being 815/830. It's triple the ilvl gap that existed between...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I really don't know how many times I need to point this out, but Blizzard is a corporate subsidiary. They get handed down a budget and have to make do with that. The amount of revenue their products bring in is not relevant. This is like people claiming that, say, MTG should hire five times as...

    J49: An Erotic Life

    You don't have anyone in your law firm that regularly visits hookers? Sure they're probably the $500/hour kind of hooker, but still.

    The brown color is actually cheaper, that's why there's more of them. It's the same thing with M&Ms.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Does anyone know if you can use the 50 forgotten soul recipe to reroll a sub-70 legendary and get a 70 one out of it? Or will you just get another sub-70 one?

    Does it annoy anyone else that so many places make hiring/firing decisions entirely based on seniority?

    You guys really think that if it had been a white guy that got accidentally shot by the security guard that that crowd would have done the same thing?

    And why did they think he was the bad guy? He wasn't armed and he wasn't even Arab. They simply assumed he must me bad because he was black. I mean, there was ten white people wounded on the ground that didnt get mobbed. The fact is, they thought he was the bad guy because the xenophobic...

    What do you do?

    The problem is a lot of companies have figured this out and just end up using the interns to fetch coffee and other random clerical work without actually teaching them anything in their field, knowing they'll stay because they need to put "interned for company in XXXXXX field" on their resume.

    Just venting a bit here, but ugh I can't believe some of the profiles chicks these days will put up on dating sites. About Me: "I'm a single mom with two kids, I don't believe in premarital sex. I am old fashioned in relationships and like to be spoiled. I believe a real man knows his woman...

    Honestly, how do people manage to go go to school full time once they're an adult and have mortgages and bill payments? With my GPA and the people I know I could pretty easily go to Pharmacy College and double my salary after 3-4 years of school, but that kind of school is hard enough that you...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    On this shift yes, but I've definitely heard some stories from the day shift about the employees getting yelled at/abused. My co-workers and I don't really get subject to her ire because any mistakes we might make don't manifest themselves until the day shift when we're gone.

    No, it's shit like, "When I saw this, I was first considering calling your school and questioning their certification program, since they obviously didn't teach you remotely what you need to know. But, wait, you did this onpurpose.Are you just lazy or do you just not like my patients? Because I...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    If 725 gear only shows up on Warforged loot and Warforged loot comes in 5-ilvl increments, the odds of you ever getting a 725 out of a Mythic dungeon are so low it might as well be zero.

    Goddamn bullies. One of the interns is literally curled up in the break room sobbing because this bitch went off on her over a minor mistake. Her personality is basically GlaDOS in real life, she loves tearing people apart and justifying it with, "Well, she definitely won't screw up any more of...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    It's also impossible to balance through differing group sizes. What +% effectiveness are Bard buffs worth? If it's less than 20%, they're shit in 5-mans. But even at 10%, they're stupidly overpowered in any raid. Do the buffs from multiple Bards stack? If yes, then you need a minimum of five in...

    Hearthstone

    Nerfing Patron Warrior is also problematic because the real problem card is Thaurissan and that card can simply never be nerfed because it's not disenchantable.

    The sociopathic pursuit of profit is the entire reason corporations exist. The only thing the managers are guilty of is botching their risk assessment for how likely they were to get caught.

    I predict that in one month we're going to start seeing people playing Wisp in their top decks. People are starting to figure out that dumping their entire hand onto the board by turn 3 isn't fast enough, it has to be done by turn two now.

    Hearthstone

    Anyone familiar with game mechanics know the answer to this? If you have an explosive sheep and a patron warrior opponent plays commander/patron/whirlwind, will the resulting flood of patrons have charge or not?

    I hate to break it to you, but this is standard operating procedure for basically everything in the healthcare industry. I work in a hospital lab and see this every day. In our lab we have an automated stainer which does a silver stain invented in 1928. We buy reagent packs from Roche for...

    The government doesn't own half the market just because Medicare pays for things. That's like claiming Boeing is owned by the government because they have defense contracts.

    That was Greece, not Old Testament inspired traditional Western culture. In traditional Western culture a man's responsibility is to society. Your wife and children are secondary at best, and you're not supposed to feel love for them in the modern sense, that gets in the way of beating them...

    Hearthstone

    Top tier Hearthstone has basically two decks at the moment: Deck 1: Dump hand onto board ASAP, ignore everything and hit face. Deck 2: Fill hand to capacity, play Thaurissan, OTK the turn after.

    Patents, copyrights, and intellectual property would still be a thing in a free market economy. Unless of course you want all drug development to completely stop because your formula can just be trivially copied by anyone after you sink hundreds of millions into discovering it. It's due to...

    Most Hated Man in America

    Your formulation still has to be approved by the FDA in order to sell it, and nobody else bothered to waste time and money getting one approved because, well, it was only selling for $13.50. This guy figured out that since AIDS patients need the drug, it could be sold for a lot more. So he...

    Can't you buy untaxed diesel for these things? AFAIK they sell untaxed diesel that's been dyed blue or purple so they can catch people that try to fill up their cars with it.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    6+2 IK with Rend and Focus + Restraint is far superior to the 6-pc Wastes. Double stacked Rend is like 50,000% weapon damage per second with all the bonuses, Wastes 6-pc isn't even close. Also whenever anything with the bleed dies, it applies another stacking 50,000%/sec dot to another mob...

    Hearthstone

    Thaurissan nerf would be more than good enough. The combo itself would still work, but it would make board control mean something as they would no longer be able to OTK someone at 25+ life starting from an empty board. It would also prevent battle raging yourself an entirely new hand on your...

    Hearthstone

    Aggro deck that dumps hand ASAP like face hunter or mech mage with 8 1 drops. Or a combo deck that doesn't care about the size of the opponent's board, like freeze mage or patron warrior. Everything else just dies to Divine Favor.

    CoE only rotates through elements actually available to your class. Barb doesn't get Poison or Holy so it's 200/5, not 200/7.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    For WW/Rend builds, isn't it just straight up better to do 2-pc Wastes set + 6-pc IK set rather than 6-pc Wastes? You can take the damage reduction rune of Council and get a better version of the 4-pc wastes set bonus this way, and with 4-pc IK providing you perma-WotB, you don't need Zodiac in...

    Hearthstone

    Yes, it's technically possible to construct a deck that beats Secret Paladin, but this deck has resulted in a ridiculously toxic metagame. Midrange and control decks are absolutely nonexistent because, well, Divine Favor you lose. There's no way control anything beats Divine Favor for 5+ cards...

    Hearthstone

    I have no idea where people got the idea that Mech Mage is favored against Paladin. I'm currently literally 1-27 against Paladin with Mech Mage, the matchup is utterly hopeless. There's just no way to beat Paladin right now without playing an uninteractive combo deck like Patron Warrior or...
