2023.03.20 23:06 Electronic_Rule5945 Is it crazy to want to ride a bike without practice...I know it is.
I've been one of the few rare that have driven manual cars for while and to me operating a motorbike at normal, slow rate of speed doesn't seem that difficult. Now I'm not being cocky...I know the nuances that take years depending on factors to become advanced at, but to drive on calm roads and tame speeds it just doesn't seem to be what a lot of the newer riders out there seem to be taking it.
Again, I realize a lot of factors come into play even hand-eye coordination and a lot of riders it wasn't easy at all.
I am a little bit of a thrill seeker and risk taker inherently. My job involves high risk, I love extreme activities etc.
I know you guys may seem like I'm crazy and I am somewhat...but one of my bucket list goals in life is to ride my first bike home from the dealer - cold turkey so to speak.
The question is real and I have always wanted to start my motorbike career like this. Yes, I know a lot will say it's a good way to end it too. But I just want to do something like this like it was done in the past when life wasn't so constricted and controlled.
note I do believe in safe riders and courses etc. and I'm not condoning nor recommending.
TLDR: Just wondering if any of you guys...probably the seasoned riders, ever just got on one and rode off into the wild.

2023.03.20 23:02 EnvironmentalTip508 Need parts help! 2011 pro rmk 800
Ok so Ive searched the interwebs for hours and even called 5 dealers, no success.
I'm looking for the part number for the 43t lower gear in the chain case. I think I found a gear that would work but nobody seems to know if the factory chain is an 11w or 13w.
So either answer would help thanks

2023.03.20 23:02 Thrillho15 Marvel Snap Combos Comics
We need Marvel to create a series of one-off comics featuring team-ups of characters based on Snap combos. I thinking things like:
- Shuri, Red Skull, and Taskmaster teaming up to stop Lockjaw from destroying the universe with the Infinity Stones (keeping in mind that I'm writing this before the March patch). Thanos does not appear in this story, btw.
- Wave, Herald of Galactus.
- Dracula/Apocalypse buddy comedy.
- Wong, White Tiger, and Dr. Doom battling against Patriot, Mystique, and Ultron.
- Dr. Strange and Cloak working with Vulture; Miles Morales shows up 5/6ths of the way through the book.
- Aero and Polaris becoming the main assassins working for Kingpin.
- Ant-man, Armor, and Klaw are in trouble against Cerebro, Mr. Sinister, and Goose, until Spectrum shows up at the end and saves them.
- Sue Storm, Wong, Gambit, and Odin have plans to destroy the city but they're thwarted by Cosmo.
- The adventures of Magik, She-Hulk, and the Infinaut, where pages 18, 19, and 20 are blank before the big finish.
- An issue that's nothing but Carnage, Venom, and Deathlok beating crap out of Wolverine, Nova, and Deadpool.
Also, M'Baku could show up randomly on the last page of some of them, not really contributing to the story.
What am I missing?

2023.03.20 23:02 altbear89 Given the long wait times for new cars, is re-signing/extending the bill of sale every 90 days a thing?
In Ontario, it seems like many new car sales contracts (bill of sale) include a 90 days auto-termination clause where the dealership is obligated to notify the customer if they're unable to deliver the car within 90 days of the agreement. Then the contract is cancelled automatically unless both parties agree to an extension. So I have a couple of questions:
- Do dealers actually pro-actively notify customers that they're unable to deliver the car within 90 days?
- If I, as the customer, want to hold the dealership to the agreement throughout the lengthy (> 90 days) wait period. Is it feasible for me to pro-actively approach the dealer to request for an extension every 90 days? Just wondering if people actually do this, and how dealers typically respond.

2023.03.20 23:02 JUST-ANOTHER-KINK 51 [M4F] #Michigan - Seeking a L-T-R live in sex ‘slave’.
Forward: This is a kink that I enjoy, not an ‘alpha’ thing.
If you know, cruise, post in the following, or similar pages…
https://www.reddit.com/MisogynisticLife/ https://www.reddit.com/womenSupportsMisogyny/ https://www.reddit.com/SexObject/ ...and seek someone to serve in a full time, live in arrangement/relationship, then read on.
I am a 51yo Dominate Male seeking a girl that desires to be a 100% live in slave in a full on TPE arrangement. This will be a fully consensual relationship, dipping into CNC and deeper based on the desires of both parties. However, living together, building a relationship of any level will be a team effort. I.E. we both work, provide to the home and each other & satisfy the needs and desires of each other. I am not looking for the 50 shades type of girl, but one who understands that respect is paramount.
I do not want someone who just says “I have no limits” & “I have no interests of my own”. For one, every soul has SOME limits, even if they are few.
What I do want is a submissive slave that is into a combination of abuse and praise… who can enjoy gentle love making and rough, wild bdsm. At times I will be of a nurturing nature, and other times very feral.
Share with Me your kinks, desires and the level you feel most comfortable with. Share with Me your limits, especially, so we can work those out of the way at the beginning.
Respond with your age, general location and a verifiable photo that will help ensure Me you’re not a troll. (They exist en mass).

2023.03.20 23:02 pie4july Joining the squad! What accessories/mods do you recommend on the 11th generation?
Hi all! I am SO happy to announce that I slapped down a deposit today on a new Si in Aegean Blue Metallic. I've been sniffing around for awhile, but was always turned off by market adjustments of 3,000 - 5,000 (or sometimes higher). After some negotiating with the dealer today, I got one only 1,500 above MSRP which seems decent for this market. Blue certainly wasn't my top choices as I had been searching, but I wanted to jump on this opportunity. The dealer also has Black coming in, but I decided to go with Blue as my current Sport Touring as well as my old Fusion were both black.
It'll be my first manual and I am so excited. What mods do you guys recommend? This generation Si is a little plain, so anything to spice it up is recommended! Already planning to tint windows and add rain guards, but not sure what else to do.

2023.03.20 22:59 RONALDINHO-ELASTICO End of cycle recap from a super splitter
Will make this quick as I know everyone is on edge with today's decisions and with things coming down to the wire.
Splitters should feel free to DM me if they ever need anything, from general advice to an eye on app materials — this applies to anyone reading this years in the future.
My primary advice for posterity is ...
- Shoot your shot, especially if you're above one median. If you are a URM (particularly a URM male), apply BROADLY if you are above one median. You never know — and more acceptances will give you more options in terms of what's realistic for you financially.
- Put a LOT of work into your written materials, and have people review them. Remember, adcomms will be reading the materials while knowing NOTHING about you. Meaning you are a blank slate — you can paint a beautiful picture, or you can make a stick figure.
- Differentiate yourself. These committees are reading thousands of essays and have thousands of applicants to choose from with your stats or better. So you have to provide a better reason for you to be part of the class — anyone can have good stats, only YOU can provide your perspective/story. What makes you different? Your app must answer that question.
Anyway...
School | A/WL | 7Sage Odds |
Yale | R | 1% |
Stanford | R | 2% |
Chicago | R | 7% |

Harvard | R | 4% |

2023.03.20 22:57 Straight-Arm2430 Primary care doctor won't fill my prescription unless I see an endocrinologist
I've been on testosterone for a little over 4 years and I haven't had my dosage adjusted in over 3 years.
I moved to Michigan a little over a year ago and had to find a new doctor. I found a doctor and she told me while she wasn't experience with treating transgender patients, she'd still be okay with prescribing the testosterone and referred me to an endo if I had questions.
This worked well until she left to work in another state and I was given a new doctor...I wasn't a fan of this doctor from the start. They refused to fill my prescription until I made an appointment with him so he could meet me. Sure, fine, whatever. I did that and got my blood work done early so he'd refill. I just tried to refill again since it's been a few months and the nurse told me he won't fill it until I schedule an appointment with an endocrinologist...
I haven't seen an endocrinologist since 2017. I'm also diabetic, so I take metformin. My A1C went up from 5.7 to 6.0 this past checkup and I told him I knew it'd be higher because I cheated a lot over the holidays. His reaction to this raise was to suggest doubling my daily dose of metformin and possibly start taking Ozempic(weight loss injection). The dosage they recommended was the same dosage I was suggested to take when my A1C was 12.0! Not to mention he suggested starting therapy after I mentioned I was transgender? Can't forget a nutritionist as well. I hate this doctor but it's who my insurance gave me (medicaid). No other doctor I've had (all primary care doctors) ever had this problem.
Is there anything I can do about this? Is it legal? Anyone experience anything like this? I scheduled an appointment with an endo but I can't get in until mid August. I haven't missed an injection in the entire 4 years I've been on hormones and I really hope I don't miss one now.
Not really related but I'm 23 and 240lbs. Yes, I'm overweight. No, I'm not a doctor - but this feels like an overreaction. My last doctor I had at the same facility actually suggested weening off of my diabetes medication - not double it.
Sorry for the long post but I'm really upset and angry about this situation.

2023.03.20 22:56 Bleezy1012 New strategy from partner when you order from 3rd just dropped!
We're all well aware of the joy of ordering from 3rd and having your partner not lead trump (even the left sometimes because fuck you that's why), but lately I've been noticing another fun strategy!
Let's say you're in 3rd seat and Ad is up and you have JH 9H TH AC KS. Dealer passes and your partner doesn't call next (you're not sure if they would or not with just the left). It passes to you and you call hearts because it seems strong and your partner could very well have the left or other help and you don't want dealer calling. So what does partner lead here? A trump? No, of course not, that would be too easy and wouldn't be much of a fun post. They lead... the QD! Makes sense since there are only 4 of them and it's not a sure winner and dealer will often be void. In this situation, after pulling my hair out, since partner shouldn't have trump here, I've chosen to just discard rather than risk the overtrump. Of course partner even shows a heart (or a second diamond unbelievably) later in the hand.
This has somehow happened like 3 times in the past couple of days. Am I wrong in thinking that this is the worst possible lead available? I feel like my partner's goal here is to euchre me. I think one weakness many players have is never thinking about what to lead at all when they haven't ordered and just throwing whatever they feel like.
I've seen the same play also when I order with three trump from third as well. Why would you ever lead next there?

2023.03.20 22:51 Professor_Tanaka ULPT Request: I need to anonymously light someone's phone up, day & night
There is an individual with a phone number very close to mine. Say mine is 111-223-4444. Hers is 111-233-4444. I've had my number for 20+ years. Approximately 5 or 6 years ago I started receiving occasional calls and text messages for an individual. These come in waves, ranging from nothing for a month or two to dozens in a given week. One month it might be calls from various apartment complexes, where she is using my number on her application. The next month it might be from employers trying to schedule an interview: Amazon, Costco, Walmart, etc. A month later it might be from 4-5 auto dealers about test drives she took. Calls from creditors are fairly constant. Then there are the 2-AM booty calls. I even get calls from her kid's school, if you can believe that.
I am told (by a creditor) that she intentionally gives out the 'almost correct' number, in that she can claim someone errored when writing down her number.
I've tried discussing it with her, to which she admitted 'You think I do not know what I am doing?'.
It is time to light her phone up, permanently if possible. Please share your ideas on how to do so anonymously.
Thanks!

2023.03.20 22:49 Neylliot 2014 BMW 328XI as a new ride, or a mistake for a college student?
Hello BMW Reddit community,
I hope this message finds you all well. I am currently in the market for a car to get me through my last year of school, and I am considering a 2014 BMW 328xi. However, I am aware that BMWs can be expensive to maintain and that there have been some reported issues with the engine and Timing chain on these models.
My dad had a 2013 BMW and the engine blew probably because of the timing chain, and I don't want to fall into a 5-10k repair rabbit hole. However, I am wondering if the 2014 model is a better option and if it would be a solid choice to get me through my final year of school. AWD is also nice as I am in New England. I am starting to commute more (50 miles to school, 15 miles to work, 50-60 miles to MMA gym) so I want something that will make me feel more secure and something I can count on.
Should I scrap the BMW idea and shoot for like a 2016-20 civic/Subaru that's pretty out of the wrapper for a similar price? I know it will be biased cause the sub haha, but any input/wisdom/opinion will help.
Mom and sister say civics and dad say BMWs lol
I would appreciate any insights or experiences you have had with this specific model or BMWs in general. Thank you in advance for your help and advice!
Considering: 2014 BMW 328XI with 17,000 miles for $22,400 US(All fees included) Has the premium package and honestly looks out of the wrapper. Comes from a reputable/trustworthy dealer we work with previously.
I previously owned a 2007 BMW 328xi, which was my first car, and the maintenance was high but I honestly beat the crap out of it. Sold that for a 2005 Honda Civic with 82k miles and it just lit up like a Christmas tree. Getting tired of dealing with car issues so looking to try.
Sorry for the drawn-out post. Thank you in advance,

2023.03.20 22:36 SeattleSquatch Looking to finally upgrade to a canister asap. Please help.
I had a Shark NV755 for the last 5 years. I really enjoyed the XL canister. I finally wrapped my head around getting a canister vacuum but I'm nervous I'm going to through a bunch of bags. We have 2 dogs that shed with undercoats and our house is 90% carpet.
I found a C3 Excellence Powerline for $670 or a C3 Kona for $690. They're sold through Amazon but I'm not sure if the seller they're supplied by is an authorized dealer?
I am also interested in the C1 dog and cat or the C3 Calima. Both around $750.
$750 is my absolute maximum.

2023.03.20 22:35 PartiallyCharged Early Access Sorcerer - Recap and Review
Howdy, folks. Long time Diablo-enjoyer here. I wanted to play just a couple hours of the D4 early access weekend so as not to burn out on the early game pre-release. Instead I became totally captivated by the sorcerer and spent most of Sunday digging through everything she has to offer. So now– hours later–I thought it might be fun to organize my thoughts and share them with you all.
Let’s get a few things out of the way first.
1) I played exclusively on world tier 2. I cannot comment on WT1.
2) I dabbled in the other two classes, but I only dug deep on sorcerer. Everything here is strictly in-class. I’m not making any assumptions or assertions about how sorc stacks up to rogue or barb.
3) I didn’t have time to get to absolutely everything. Someone has to clean up this house, you know! (It’s me. I’m the one that has to clean the house. The cats sure aren’t doing it.)
4) Obviously, everything here only applies to what’s available so far. There’s probably a skill I’m going to talk smack about which, with the right legendary aspect, full 50 point build, and perfect paragon board, turns out to be a certified ripper. That’s fine. We’ll get there when we get there. I maintain that it would be cool if stuff was good more or less from the time you can use it, though, and will be operating under that principle.
5) I will express negative opinions toward some aspects of the design in this, but I have deep and abiding respect for the designers of this game. Every game, for that matter. I dabble in design and even the baby card games for babies that I’ve worked on in my spare hours seem overwhelmingly difficult to make at times. People make games. Real people. I don’t ever want to forget that and, if you choose to comment, I ask you not to forget it either.
6) Furthermore, I have deep and abiding respect for you and your opinions. No kappa. I’m not here to yuck your yum or tell you you’re doing something wrong. If you’re having a good time, you’re winning the game and I salute you.
7) What this all adds up to, is that I have spent a lot of time playing, taking notes on, and thinking about this game and in particular this class this weekend. It’s led me to some moderately firm opinions. If you disagree, I think that’s great. I want you to disagree with me. Let’s talk it out. But please be chill and respectful. If something I say about the game angers you, I would ask that you not damage your mental health and mine taking it out here. Thank you, truly.
So, the sorcerer. Pretty nifty, huh?
The tl;dr is that I think the class is very cool, and the game is very cool, and I had a lot of fun.
But.
There are definitely some things that stand out to me as not well balanced. A couple of skills seem to dominate the pack, and a few are outright stinkers. What I’m going to do is go through each skill individually, then fire off a few random thoughts.
And one more time for the back row: I liked this game and I liked this class. All criticism comes from a place of love, and for the desire to be as good for as many people as it possibly can. I wish to see the game elevated, not torn down.
On to the skills!
BASIC
Sad to start on this note, but I think the sorcerer basics are woefully underdeveloped. Spark, Frost Bolt, and Fire Bolt practically feel like the same skill. All three of them are just little baby bolts of energy that don’t look or sound particularly interesting. And mechanically, the impact of their base damage as well as the upgrades are so minimal that most of the time I’d rather just be dodging while my mana recovers.
Arc Lash though? Arc Lash is where it’s at. The numbers are better–as they should be since it’s a close range skill–but they’re much better. Add it to the wide cleave and this is the beginning of a solid basic skill. Also it’s very visually distinct, I love the orchestra conductor animation with the lash whipping back and forth.
I realize it’s probably too late to make such a sweeping change, but the three bolts could actually, literally be the same skill–call it “Elemental Bolt”--and the upgrades could apply different elemental effects, making room for other, more interesting skills basics. (Yes this would break the current skill->improvement->specialization layout followed by all the other skills, I think that’s OK.)
In any case, the other major failing of the basics is that they don’t generate any mana by default. I would really like to feel a bit of a push/pull dynamic between Basic Spell/Big Spell. And right now, they generate no mana, or very meager mana with the right upgrades, in addition to outputting damage that feels insufficient and upgrade effects that feel marginal. I say bump their numbers (generously), and consider adding some base mana regen. Maybe 3-5? Make me feel like I have a reason to weave them into my attack patterns.
CORE
Overall this crop is much better. Thematically distinct, with solid visuals and good game feel. Numerically though, there are some stark disparities. Starting at the top and going counter-clockwise we have…
-Incinerate feels like the worst of the lot. Channeled spells are always tricky to get right; standing still is dangerous and, for me at least, less interesting than bobbing and weaving. I don’t think Incinerate threads the needle. The damage output and mana cost don’t justify the downside of planting my feet. Looks cool as hell though.
-Fireball is… it’s fireball, you know? It’s a classic, and it’s doing what I’d expect it to do here. Pretty middle of the pack in terms of numerical output, quality of life, and visual flair.
-Frozen Orb is functionally a very similar skill. It has more AoE, the utility of chill, and some razzle-dazzle to the animations. But the damage is so much lower than fireball that it feels lacking. I think it needs a damage bump. (But maybe I just look back too fondly upon my days as an Ice Queen in Diablo 2. xD)
-Ice Shards is the core skill I spent the least time with. I tried it in a couple different packages, but couldn’t find the use case. If I’m being honest, it kinda feels like a Basic after a couple of upgrades, not a Core. If you love this one I definitely want to hear from you.
-Chain Lightning, I’m pretty confident, makes the rest of these spells look like chumps. It is good at clear, good at single target, and the mobility it affords is unparalleled. You just fire it and go. Seriously, look at the numbers it does for the cost, and then remember that you press that button once and can’t miss, provided your cursor was on any monster, and you get to duck dive and dodge while it bounces hither and yon, smiting your foes. I don’t think it’s too strong though, I think it feels perfect. Just what I want from a Core. If the others could be brought up to this level. I’d be extremely happy. One complaint though… why doesn’t it look like chain lightning? ;__; Come on, gimme the classic forked lightning, baby! I miss it so much here.
-Charged Bolts: Another Core that probably looks better if it’s put more on par numerically with Chain Lightning. The shotgun spread of random projectiles is another classic, and being able to get bonus effects for dumping them into a single target at point blank range is pretty cool.
DEFENSE
I think these skills are overall in a pretty good place.
-Flame Shield seems almost there. The burn numbers feel a touch low and the cooldown a touch high. It’s not a “true” defensive skill, more of a mixed use skill. And since at least one solid defensive cooldown seems pretty necessary, I’d like to see this one have a bit more muscle as an offensive skill, or a bit more defensive power added in somewhere. Maybe some bonus resistances? But then it starts to infringe on Ice Armor’s design space, so I’m not sure.
-Teleport is a staple for a reason, and this version is great. The upgrades are fine if you want them but they’re far from necessary. A true one point wonder, a classic for a reason. And I love the VFX. 10/10 no notes.
-Ice Armor is a solid defensive option for any build that’s cool (haha get it cool) with standing still and getting punched in the face. I still think that archetype is going to need more support than is currently available–whether through late/postgame stuff we haven’t seen or through some adjustments to skills like Incinerate–but I’m willing to bet this will feature in many such builds.
-Frost Nova is very, very good. Reasonable cooldown, good area. Making it inflict Vulnerable is great, and lengthening the Vulnerable duration against bosses who are immune to Freeze is a smart move. Relevant in all situations.
CONJURATION
I’m just gonna say it up top; Hydra is here, everyone else can go home now. Details follow.
-Hydra is bananapants compared to the other two. The DPS value is good, both against groups and single targets. The damage to mana ratio is obscenely high. The upgrades are great, especially the one that gives a bonus head when healthy. That’s just 33% more damage, straight up, in almost every situation. Honestly this is the one sorcerer skill in the game that could get nerfed and probably still be good, I think.
-Ice Blades makes me so sad. I find it possible that in the late game/postgame, with enough cooldown reduction and ways to make enemies vulnerable, you could do a really cool thing where Ice Blades makes Ice Blades which make Ice Blades… until you have an Icy, Bladed army slicing up the whole map. It’s certainly the first thing I thought when I read the package over. But right now it’s verging on useless. It moves and attacks so slowly, for a pitiful amount of damage. Even if it turns out to be a build-around late game powerhouse, it needs help now.
-Lightning Spear feels like the actually appropriate power level for this group. Hydra clowns on it numerically, but that’s not Lightning Spear’s fault. My one complaint is that visually, it’s insufficiently distinct from Chain Lightning. I’m not 100% sure but I think they’re actually the same projectile! This look is fine for Lightning Spear, so to restate, please make chain lighting look like, you know. A chain of lightning. ___^
MASTERY
This is a flock of strange ducks to me. In essence, Meteor, Firewall, and Ball Lightning feel like Cores in disguise. They’re just nukes. Blizzard set my expectation that these skills would be utility-based supplemental damage dealers. Kinda like how Conjurations are longer-lasting, fire-and-forget, continuous damage dealers. But ¾ feel like Cores; repeatable nukes to spend most of your mana on. In a vacuum this is fine, my only real quibble is that you have to spend points passing through the cluster of Core skills. And in a world where this is true, I would like to see more options for passives to buy in the Core cluster for builds that evolve to use a Mastery instead of a Core as the bread and butter damage button. (Bread and Butter Damage Button is the name of my cottagecore heavy metal band, btw.) Now let’s look at each skill individually.
-Blizzard does what you want Blizzard to do. (The skill that is, not the development studio; I make no claims as to whether or not Blizzard Entertainment is doing what you, personally, want them to do. __). This is the epitome of “nailed it” for this skill group.
-Meteor, man. When I first read the description of Meteor in the Diablo 2 manual I lost my damn mind. Then I cast it, sat there for a minute and said to myself, wait, is that it? Then Diablo 3 gave me the Meteor I’d imagined so many years earlier. Several different kinds in fact! This meteor? It makes the cut. Sorry, that might feel like a tangent, but the A/V, the game feel, the fantasy of Meteor is of particular importance to me. From a usage perspective it seems to fill its own niche, so that’s great, and the numbers seem solid.
-Speaking of Diablo 2, y’all remember Firewall owning the world? Conceptually this skill has never been my favorite. It seems like it should be a defensive or zoning tool, but Diablo enemies have zero sense of self preservation and will happily charge to their death for even the slightest chance to stab you just one time. That’s fine though, I know lots of other people love Firewall as a primary damage dealer. I don’t however feel like the numbers are there. Enemies in this game move pretty fast and I never felt like I found a way to kite enemies effectively for the damage to come out at a reasonable speed, especially for the mana cost.
-Ball Lightning isn’t working for me on any level. It doesn’t move fast enough to reliably hit distant targets; it doesn’t move slowly enough to reliably multi-hit close targets. Also, it’s really infringing on Frozen Orb’s design space. It’s a primary damage dealer in the form of a slow orb that pierces all targets. I actually think this skill would feel a lot better if the basic usage became the immobile version that can proc from one of the legendary aspects. That’s getting close to Firewall’s turf though.
ULTIMATE
Two of these feel like Ultimates to me, one doesn’t. Can you guess which before reading? Try it! Or don’t that’s fine, too.
-Deep Freeze is very, very good. Almost like an upgraded, long-cooldown Frost Nova. Immunity, plus barrier and Chill/Freeze that persist after that, plus (modest) damage in a (huge!!) area. Powerful, versatile skill.
-Inferno also feels appropriate to call an ultimate. Unique VFX with real wow factor, and chunky damage on a long cooldown. Though I do think maybe the vacuum effect should be inherent and that upgrade replaced with something else. It doesn’t feel quite powerful enough without it.
-Unstable Currents leaves me pretty cold. For one, I usually wanna really feel my ultimate when I hit that button. For another, it seems like the lowest impact (and highest variance, thanks to the random spell cast) of the three, but also has the longest cooldown for some reason. I think it’s a really neat idea, But it’s not quite coming together for me, and I don’t know what I would suggest be done with it.
ENCHANTMENTS
There are simply too many of these for me to have spent much time with most of them. But my game sense tells me that, most of the time, Fireball is going to be really hard to beat. Really, really hard. A huge percentage of this game is about clearing packs, and Fireball clears packs. It has limited utility against bosses, but it’s free to switch your Enchantment before a boss fight. At least for now? Maybe in postgame dungeons we’ll be locked in, like a D3 rift? But then again, we’ll get a second slot eventually, so I don’t know. Spending one skill point or getting a point in Fireball from an item right now feels as close to mandatory as anything for Sorcerer.
RANDOM NOTES
Here are a few brain droppings that didn’t fit into the above.
-Why isn’t Stun a searchable keyword in the sorcerer tree?
-Part of the reason I advocated for some inherent mana restoration from Basics is because mana recovery feels a bit too slow. Maybe more than a bit. There are a dozen different knobs that could tune this, from Basics feeling punchier and/or recovering mana, to base mana regen going up, to it being more common on gear, to base spell costs being lowered a touch… You get the idea. I wanna use my cool skills, let me use my cool skills, that’s all I’m sayin’. Probably in the late and postgame this will cease to be an issue, but I’d still like to fire off my main skill a bit more often.
-Please show me the number of points required to reach each tier of skill so I can more effectively pull and replace single points. For example, even after I have two points in Basics, I would like to see on screen somewhere–maybe off to the side, maybe on a tooltip–that it takes a total of two points invested before I can put points in Core skills. (Obviously this is more for stuff way further down the tree, that was just an easy example.)
-We won’t know until later in the game, but is there ever a reason to deliberately mix elements? I’m all for a good Only Lightning, Other Elements Need Not Apply sort of build, but I also like the way D3 had skills and gear that encouraged mixing and matching. Right now it looks like the more you can mono-focus the better, so I’m hoping gear and/or Paragon Boards will open up some builds that combine two or even three damage types.
That’s all I have for now! What do my Sorcerous Comrades think? Satisfied? Underwhelmed? Haha Hydra go brrrr? Counting the minutes until June, but until then, I'd love to hear from you.

2023.03.20 22:35 Neylliot 2014 BMW 328xi as a new ride? or mistake?
Hello WCSIB Reddit community,
I hope this message finds you all well. I am currently in the market for a car to get me through my last year of school, and I am considering a 2014 BMW 328xi. However, I am aware that BMWs can be expensive to maintain and that there have been some reported issues with the engine and Timing chain on these models.
My dad had a 2013 BMW and the engine blew probably because of the timing chain, and I don't want to fall into a 5-10k repair rabbit hole. However, I am wondering if the 2014 model is a better option and if it would be a solid choice to get me through my final year of school. AWD is also nice as I am in New England. I am starting to commute more (50 miles to school, 15 miles to work, 50-60 miles to MMA gym) so I want something that will make me feel more secure and something I can count on.
Should I scrap the BMW idea and shoot for like a 2016-20 civic/Subaru that's pretty out of the wrapper for a similar price? I know it will be biased cause the sub haha, but any input/wisdom/opinion will help.
Mom and sister say civics and dad say BMWs lol
I would appreciate any insights or experiences you have had with this specific model or BMWs in general. Thank you in advance for your help and advice!
Considering: 2014 BMW 328XI with 17,000 miles for $22,400 US(All fees included) Has the premium package and honestly looks out of the wrapper. Comes from a reputable/trustworthy dealer we work with previously.
I previously owned a 2007 BMW 328xi, which was my first car, and the maintenance was high but I honestly beat the crap out of it. Sold that for a 2005 Honda Civic with 82k miles and it just lit up like a Christmas tree. Getting tired of dealing with car issues so looking to try.
Sorry for the drawn-out post. Thank you in advance,
Ney

2023.03.20 22:35 jamesf_reddit 2013 front end vibration comes and goes...
Hi all...I have a 2013 3 with 75k miles and despite multiple wheel balances, alignments, and new tires/rims, I have a vibration that is sometimes there and sometimes not. The steering wheel shakes and I can feel it in the floor. Sometimes it shakes hard at 70 and sometimes I can go up to 95 (oops) and it's super smooth.
The CV joints are fine. There's no rubbing of brake rotors. Wheel bearings and suspension are fine per the dealer who couldn't find the source of the vibration. The passenger side motor mount looks fine- no goo, no cracks. Is there a way to test the torque arm and transmission mount without dismantling everything? I can't think of anything else it could be. It's a great car otherwise (6 spd manual!) but I need to sell it (bought a CX-5 for towing a camper) and I can't sell it with this mystery vibration.
thanks,
jim

2023.03.20 22:34 NotYetRat3d New Build, Internet Options?
Hi all,
We purchased land in North Carolina a few months ago and have been working with an architect and builder on plans since then. During the purchase process, we evaluated internet options of the plot we purchased, at time of purchase, by going to providers websites and entering neighbors addresses to see if the road was serviced. At the time, Spectrum website indicated service available. We never called to confirm as we didnt yet have a house, formal address, etc.
Fast forward to today, we have a formal address registered, and I called Spectrum to see what hookup is going to cost/take, and we were informed our road does not have spectrum. We are 1/2 mile down from the cross road where they do provide service. They have quoted $110.5k US Dollars to run the line and hook us up.... .... Holy hell. Anyone been in a similar situation or have any insight in to our options? I have already(unrelatedly) signed up for Starlink, but who knows when they will actually happen, and I dont think it will actually be long term viable for work from home situations.
Any insight appreciated! Tempted to try and follow the MIchigan mans route and set up my own ISP, however I wouldn't know where to start! We do have fiber lines within a mile and a half of the house.
