Planning a camping trip involves numerous considerations, and one of the most important is ensuring an adequate water supply.
Water is vital for hydration, cooking, cleaning, and various other camping activities. However, determining how much water to bring can be a bit challenging.
In the following lines, we'll provide you with helpful information and tips to estimate your water needs and make sure you're well-prepared for your next camping adventure. 🌲🏕️
↪️ Estimating Water Needs:
The amount of water you should bring camping depends on several factors, including the duration of your trip, the number of people, the climate, and the availability of freshwater sources at your campsite.
As a general guideline, it is recommended to allocate a minimum of 1 gallon (3.8 liters) of water per person per day.
This estimation ensures you have enough water for drinking, cooking, and basic hygiene.
↪️ Factors Affecting Water Consumption:
🔴 Climate: In hot and dry climates, you may need to increase your water supply due to increased perspiration and the risk of dehydration. Hydration is essential for maintaining energy levels and avoiding heat-related illnesses.
🔴 Activities: If your camping trip involves strenuous activities like hiking, biking, or other physically demanding pursuits, you'll need to account for additional water to stay adequately hydrated.
🔴 Cooking and Cleaning: Consider the water required for cooking meals and cleaning utensils, dishes, and personal hygiene items. These activities can significantly affect your overall water usage.
💧🚰 Water sources:
While it's important to bring sufficient water, you should also explore alternative water sources available at or near your campsite.
These may include freshwater streams, lakes, or rivers.
However, it's crucial to ensure the water is safe for consumption by using water purification methods such as filtration, boiling, or chemical treatment.
Be aware of any local advisories or restrictions on using natural water sources.
♻️Water Conservation Tips 👌:
To make the most of your water supply and minimize waste, consider the following tips:
1️⃣ Use biodegradable soap for cleaning, as it requires less water for rinsing. 2️⃣ Opt for quick-drying camping gear to reduce the need for frequent washing. 3️⃣ Collect rainwater using tarps or containers to supplement your water reserve. 4️⃣ Pack lightweight camping utensils that are easy to clean and require less water. 5️⃣ Practice mindful water usage by turning off taps tightly and avoiding unnecessary wastage.

Stay hydrated, stay safe, and enjoy your camping adventure to the fullest!

Since I’m taking possibly the week off August 28-sept 1st and and don’t return to work until September 6th due to Labor Day weekend
i May fly out Friday night 8/25 from LAX or early 8/26 since
Hotel pricing is a bit too expensive for my taste since all this is not being split with a group hostels are an option I just am unsure how others feel about me waking up at 4-5am to get up and early to beat crowds and start hikes in a 6-8 bed room dorm + my loud snoring
I’m trying to find either private room air bnb or private room hostel as I have seen those on YouTube
Just wanted to get anyone’s feedback and insight on cheap locations to stay + places to not miss out there
Willing to drive as I am used to 3-4am on the road with a red bull in my hand and gummy bears in the other just wanting to have a good time exploring!

My fiancé and I had been together for 4 years at the time. I thought we were great together: despite our differences, we communicated well (or so I thought), travelled the world together, built a company and so much more.
Last year things got a bit difficult for us as our company was going through turbulent times and we were so immersed in the work process, we didn’t really have time for each other, even though we physically were together in the same office for almost 24 hours. Given all that, I still think things weren’t as bad…
July 2022 proved otherwise. We hired an intern, a 17 yo girl, to work as our office manager. My fiancé was running operations so he got spend a lot of time with her. In about 2 weeks after she started, I began noticing that she’s being overly nice around him, bringing him coffee every day, remembering what he likes to have for lunch, touching him (yes, she would touch his shoulders, hug him (tf?!) etc.). This was the very first anything like that happened bc my fiancé was never unfaithful before, never looked to the side and honesty was his #1 personal strength. What I did was approach that girl and say everything to her face. She said that there wasn’t anything going on between them, that she’s sorry I felt that way. But their flirting was never over. They would sit way to close to each other, laugh together, and she’s only 17!!! (We both were 27 at the time)
Then I went through his phone and found her texts saying “I made this with love for you”, “can’t wait to see you”. He responded quite positively to that.
When he figured I talked to her, he spoke with her 1-1, hold her hand and begged to stay and not leave. When I asked him “did you hold her hand?”, he didn’t hesitate to say “yeah, so what?”
Since then he was completely different, out of his mind.
We took all our employees on a small, team building trip in the countryside and that girl went as well. When we were driving, he stared at her for the whole trip (we were sitting in the back, and he was driving). I wanted to crime, and vomit, and scream - everything at the same time.
When arrived at the destination, I burst into tears. We talked but he didn’t seem to care. He said he wasn’t sure he loved me and a lot of other stuff.
I couldn’t believe what I was going through. It was a totally different person, a stranger.
She kept working for us for some 8-10 days more and then finally left (her internships was a month long)
On her last working day, he texted her “all i thing about is you” and tried to kiss her while I was sitting in the next room.
He didn’t admit any of what he did, until I gave up and said “ok, if you don’t see what a mistake you’re making, I’m ready to leave” he burst into tears, started to beg for forgiveness, and said he’d do everything to repair things between us, but the one thing he asked for was to go see her and say it’s over, that everything that happened between them was a mistake.
I let him, so he did. But as later turned out, he also said to her that he’d never felt anything he felt for her before, had there been other circumstances, he would have stayed with her… and she confessed to him this isn’t her first time developing feelings for a married (almost married) guy. She was dating a 23 yo when she was 15, and the guy had a wife… smh
So he comes back, promises to work on things, we start both IT and CT, go on vacation to Egypt, but he keeps pushing me away (holds hands unwillingly, isn’t affectionate etc). And this is mid august, maybe even end of august. Turned out he was checking her social media during the whole month of august (she left on aug 6), texted her, even wanted to bring her a souvenir from Egypt. When I found out, he said he’d already stopped doing that.
There was no contact ever since. We’d been doing therapy, and he’s now become super remorseful, he does all the right things, regrets what he’s done, says everything that happened was a lie, that he didn’t think straight, that he was broken …
Mind me I’m 100000 times smarter and more attractive than that girl. I have tons of admirers and fans, am financially independent , while my fiancé isn’t as attractive and doesn’t have any financial or intellectual superiority over me. I chose him because I thought we were soulmates and because he was one of the most honest and trustworthy people I’ve ever met… Now that he blew his own reputation in my eyes, I’m not sure if I should stay . I don’t know if I love him anymore.
He’s doing everything right, but that experience is too painful. I can’t trust him, I don’t feel attractive or confident around him (generally, i know I’m attractive ), but knowing someone was better for him is killing me. + he managed to develop such strong feelings for her in just a month … does that mean we were never enough?
Every time he says he loves me, I remember that time in July he said he didn’t know if he loved me anymore…
I don’t know what to do. I feel like I made him stay. Had I not confronted him, he would have stayed with her. Maybe I’m better off without him? That thought doesn’t let me sleep
Sorry for such a long read, looking for your advice 🙏🏽

I'm admittingly pretty weird and I have no shame. Is it off putting to a lot of people? Yes. So, I'm looking for someone who can vibe with that. I sing to my dog and I don't think she likes it very much. I talk to myself outloud...in Public...even at work. My boss gives me weird looks! I'm also kinda ditzy...always losing my glasses. Sometimes, they're even on my face.
I'm looking for someone who knows how to be verbally affectionate without being creepy. There's a fine balance! But affectionate is an absolute need! I want goodnight calls and goodmorning texts. Verbal affection is super important to me. My love language is words of affirmation. I like men who are more "alt" (think goth who never truly grew out of their goth phase) but that isn't a requirement.
Don't use the chat if you can help it.
No married men. 25+.
Here's some true (and only slightly facts about me)

1. I often buy shit I don't need…bought a blanket for my cat (in my defense I bought it from goodwill and it was new) and a stocking for my dog. She ruins every sweater I buy…but yet I keep buying them.
   
2. My favorite color is green but it's a special shade. It's like between forest green and emerald. Maybe a dark emerald?
   
3. I have a shit load of siblings.
   
4. My music taste hasn't changed much since high school. I make this huge playlist to only listen to the same songs over and over and over. But sometimes I'll find new (to me) artists...but they're still on the same wavelength if things I listened to in high school
   
5. I'm infj and hufflepuff
   
6. I like hugs, nice sounding voices, and tattoos...and beards are nice too
   
7. I have a really bad memory and lose my shit allll the time. I've left so many things at my sister's house.
   
8. My ideal living situation involves bunkbeds so that there's plenty of room for activities
   
9. I work at a Montessori school. Trying to become a teacher eventually.
   
10. I watch a lot of nonsense TV to relax...SpongeBob is still my jam. I even have SpongeBob shoes
    
11. I don't care if you're ftm or nonbinary. If we click, we click
    

I'm reading more and more that a lot of us here are SAH because the cost of childcare has made being a working parent unviable. But with the rising cost of living, staying home with our kids isn't enough to ease the financial burden either. So I wanted to share some of the ways that I am embracing frugality.
For context I live in NZ, and we are a family of 3. We own our own home with a mortgage, and have room for a vegetable garden. My husband makes a good wage, but these days that is not enough.

1. We buy our vegetables through a local food rescue program called Wonky Box. Before that we bought through a co-op. We don't get to pick our vegetables, but it's way cheaper than buying from a supermarket.
   
2. We grow season vegetables to supplement what comes in the delivery.
   
3. Our power company gives free off-peak power hours, or does a thing called power shout. Tomorrow I'm using up the 5 free hours of power shout so I can make slow-roasted lamb. At the same time I will do 2 loads of laundry, make granola, and put a casserole in the slow cooker. I will also charge all our devices.
   
4. Using the microwave or stove is cheaper than the oven. So I try to make as much as I can on the hob, or cook multiple meals in the oven at once, and freeze one to reheat in the microwave another day.
   
5. We buy large cuts of meat on special and stretch it across multiple meals. The leftover lamb tomorrow will become two meat pies.
   
6. We cloth nappy a couple of days a week. It saves on disposable nappies, without adding too much washing to our week.
   
7. When I'm feeling super frugal, I use a whistling kettle that we have for camping on our wood burner instead of using the electric kettle.
   
8. Free baby programs. We go to a lot of free programs at the library or run by churches. It gets us out without costing much.
   

I hope that helps some of us, especially if (like me) you've been used to affording convenience. And if you have tips, please share them.

Notes:

• I am EXTREMELY busy, but I check my messages and DMs at least ONCE per day. Please be patient and wait at least 24 hours for my response if I don't get back to you immediately.
  
• I buy only in Unrevealed Key Link Format or Plain Steam Keys. No gift links.
  
• For PayPal, I am in the US region and I only send via G&S. Please note there will be PayPal fees (including international/conversion and purchasing fees) to consider.
  
• All games that you sell to me should ideally be REGION-FREE. Please ensure the games are not region-locked/bound to a specific country.
  
• You must be willing to fill a spreadsheet with steam keys.

This is gonna be a long and probably confusing post, trying to get my thoughts on paper or write them out just seems impossible at this point
My ex gf(34) and I M(29) broke up just under 5 weeks ago. We were in a LDR for 8 months and I fell hard in love with her
She was married and I was single, I never pursued her because of this. Until one night we were hanging out on a discord call with friends and she messaged me telling me how attractive she thinks I am, I at first thought she was messing around and thought nothing of it until a few more messages, then she came on very hard sexually. So I decided to say fuck it and go along with it cause i always found her attractive and we vibed. (I regret it everyday, at the time I didn't care about her marriage and I know how shitty I am for it, karma has well and truly done what it needed to do to me) this continued for a couple weeks, it was highly sexual, the messages, voice notes, videos, pictures and calls. This goes on for a couple weeks and then she started to talk about how she was feeling towards me, she would call me her twin flame, say things like she's never connected with anyone the way she does me etc. I always rejected the talk of feelings because I didn't want to go there. I didn't want to catch feelings as this was purely sexual to me. Fast forward a couple more weeks and at this point we have been talking a fuck ton, about very personal things, our childhoods, our life, bonded over music, games and whatnot. She continued to push her feelings for me and I continued to keep my guard up because I didn't want to end up in this position I am now in. She told me she was going to divorce her husband, I never commented or gave advice on it because lt was not my place to do so. I did tell her to heal from her divorce, take time for herself and find herself again. She agreed and wanted to do so, so she could be fully available to me. I know at this point we had already cheated and destroyed another man but I atleast respected her for wanting to heal. She filed for divorce and we continued to talk but then the subject of love came up. I told her I will not go there until me and her are in person and know how it really feels, she agreed but then one week goes by and she tells me she is in love with me. I was falling for her and knew how I felt but wanted us to do so in person. We then became a couple... I know how fucked up it is, I really do.
She would tell me weird things like men always hitting on her, always trying to get with her, send me screenshot of guys non stop bothering her. I never asked for these things, so It made me feel weird but I never communicated it, which I know is my fault and something I've learnt. At this point we were dating and she would complain of this one guy non stop bothering her and she can't get rid of him. I told her just tell the dude you're with your bf and he will probably back off, I was not happy with her over this because it felt like she was hiding me. She apologised and we moved forward with it, then she started lying about being in other guys streams. I called her out on her lies and she would always proceed to call me jealous and insecure. Was there jealousy there? Yes? I sat with it for a while to understand why I was being jealous and all I could think about was the amount of times she would tell me about different men trying to get with her. I'm normally not a jealous man. This would happen a few times and it hurt me but I bottled it up and it came out in the wrong way. That's on me...
She also told me about a time her best friends husband tried to kiss her. Again, I dont know why she told me this but hey ho. She also told me how they both cheated on one another many times. She brought me to that house, I remember the four of us chilling in their garage having a drink, laughs and a smoke. Her friend showed me photos of a lake they all go to in the summer. As we left to head back home my gf goes on to tell me how she isn't happy with her friend, she didn't like the way she leaned over me to show photos. Then went on to say how I am her friends type and all this bullshit. I told her to take that up with her friend and leave me the fuck out of this cause I did nothing nore even notice something like that. We had a massive argument over it. Wasn't the first time she got jealous over another woman. I dont mind jealousy, i think its a normal reaction to have but as long as it doesnt become unhealthy and controlling, the other ones were minor but questions were asked about certain women liking photos on my Instagram. One I went on a date with once and the other who I worked with. That's it. Time goes on and she flew over to me (London) for my birthday. We argued that night too and she threatened to leave me, I told her if she ever threatens to do so again, I will leave her as I found it cruel. Writing this out I realise how toxic this all was. Which hits me hard because I felt like I was in love and we connected so well. I wish I communicated how I felt better, I wish I didn't do what I did and I wish I was given a fair chance to be in love. I am also at fault for this I'm fully aware.
Fast forward to few weeks ago we have a massive row again because I called her out on her lies, she called me a psycho and too possessive. I tried to explain its not that you are in another man's stream, it's the fact that you lie about it and I don't know why, she then goes on to tell me im only ever comfortable when she goes to a her other best friends house, i said yes because she seemed level headed and honest, the reason i felt uncomfortable with her going to her other friends house was because of them doing cocaine in there, which she had told me about but it was all made out to be like i was jealous because the husband tried to kiss her. It had fuck all to do with that, its drugs and she knew how i felt about drugs. But I was starting to feel like I may genuinely be highly jealous and insecure. I dont know if that's because she has made me feel that way or I am like that. I've worked hard these last 2 months to make sure that's not the case. Anyway she forgave me and we moved forward, until 3 weeks later she said this isn't working. I begged, I pleaded and I didn't understand why I was given this chance and then had it snatched from me when I was doing everything I can to work on myself
She went on to say she wants to heal because she had just gotten out of an 11 year relationship, and be by herself. I found it hard to believe considering that's what she should've done 8 months ago, like we said. Then she proceeds to tell me its because of the hurt I caused her that night a few weeks ago when we argued. I accused her of lying, which she was.i didn't verbally assault or call her names I just asked her to tell me what is going on. We were intoxicated and I just had enough of the little lies. I know that is for me to work on and put right, I will accept anything and everything I've done wrong these last 8 months. I realise I'm a shitty person and whatever came from this relationship I deserved. But I feel like I was never given a chance considering how we started. I know I never should've got with a person that was married. The trust was not there because of it but still i pushed out i felt aside and rejected my gut feelings. I tried everything to make sure we didn't do that but words and time spent together. I fell in love
Not even two weeks went by and I found out she is already dating. I knew this would happen cause she done it to her husband, who the fuck am I right? I aint special. But I'm hurting so much, my confidence is shattered and I'm lost. She said she wanted space but keeps reaching out to me, told me she will always love me and how a piece of her heart will always belong to me. Its been 5 weeks and she still reaches out, not as frequent but will send me a message saying I really do want you yo be happy, I ignored her cause seeing her face just brings me to tears, she brought up how i am ignoring her messages and i told her if she wants to talk then let me know. She then messaged me saying she hopes I'm alright, I replied saying I'm alright thanks, yourself? My heart tells me to let her go, remove her from my socials and really start to heal but I can't let go and it's killing me
I know I deserve to feel how her husband felt when she moved on straight away. I get that but I don't think I deserved the emotional abuse here, I think its emotional abuse. I'm just so confused and trying to figure it out so I can learn from this
There will be things I have forgotten or not put in because the post is long enough but if there are any questions I will answer them. I dont want this to come across as me shitting on her and blaming her for everything. I know I had my part in this and I fucked up in so many ways but I cant escape the feeling of being emotionally abused here

I'm doing colonoscopy prep today. I took 6 dulcolax spread out over a few hours and then 8.3oz of miralax in a half gallon of Gatorade. I also started vyvanse today, and stimulants usually make me need to poop so I went about 2 times before I even took any of the laxatives. By the time I actually took them and they started to kick in, my poop was already clear. It's blue from the gatorade, and has a good amount of mucus, but I haven't actually had any stool since I first took the laxatives at 1pm and it's 5pm now. I'm super confused as to how I could be fully cleared out from just 3 trips to the toilet. Is it possible there could be more that just hasn't come out yet? The 2 times that there WAS actually poop, it wasn't even anymore than usual. I'm just super confused.

Greeting raidsecrets, I figured I'd post my tips & tricks along with the build that I ran that got me my solo flawless. Hoping this helps for those who might be struggling!
Lengthy detailed post ahead about my run and how I did each encounter. This will be focusing on just the Ecthar and final boss encounters. I achieved my solo flawless run on my Arc Hunter with Assassin’s Cowl build. This build will keep you healed up, keep you invisible so you're safe from enemies shooting at you, and takes use of Gathering Storm which makes doing boss dmg easy. 😃
This is my general Assassin's Cowl build and we'll be changing some stuff out for each encounter: https://dim.gg/cssas7y/Arc
General notes:

• I was 1822 power level when doing this. (1810 + 12 bonus power)
• For all 3 encounters, I used double specials with at least ONE One Two Punch (OTP) shotgun in either slot for maximum heavy ammo drops.
• This build's main focus is just trying to keep Combination Blow x3 up as often as possible to maximize ad clear, majominiboss kills, and for survivability (invis and heals).
• For the opening encounter I ran around with Wastelander w/OTP, Coldheart, and an Eager Edge Sword. Feel free to use whatever weapons you prefer here, but def keep at least a OTP shotgun on you.

For Ecthar and the things/mods that would need to be changed from what’s shown on the build in the DIM link:

• I ran around with 2 shotguns, both with OTP, then used Lament as my heavy for boss dps.
• On your chest piece you want one arc resist, one lucent blade (this will help with your sword block regen for Lament’s damage rotation), and concussive dampener (this helps with the boss stomps when in their super mode and any moth explosions that may occur). And on your boots you want 2 Solar Surges for extra Lament damage during boss dps.
• Put as much mobility on as you can while staying at 100 resil, because in the water section down low to activate the symbols, it’s going to help staying away from the boss so they don’t damage you. My build had me at 76 so the boss was never a problem when trying to run away. I would recommend at least 50 mobility here, if you can't get 50 with just using stat mods, feel free to run a Font of Agility for the extra 30 mobility when you have an armor charge.
• To start, build up your combo blow x3 with acolyte powered melee kills. Once you get x3, go around and kill each knight with a OTP shotgun shot, dodge, and melee hit. The jolt from lethal current should kill the knights, then do the same when the ogre spawns. Feel free to kill an acolyte nearby to refresh combo blow x3 and to go invis as you go along. After the ogre is dead head down to the middle to activate the deepsight to see what symbols are needed to be activated in the water section.
• For the water section, what helped me the most and to make sure I knew what symbols I had I would talk out loud to myself what symbols I needed. I would then use/reference this map on a secondary monitor to navigate the water for symbol activation. After you successfully located and marked all 3 symbols, it's time to go back up top into the boss room.
• 3 wizards should have spawned and you must kill each lucent wizard and collect their visages. I like killing one at a time, collecting their visage, then move to the next one, then the 3rd one. Quickest way to kill the wizards are going to be with your OTP shotgun and combo blow x3 with lethal current active.
• My rotation for killing the wizards: Building up combo blow x3, charge melee kill a 4th enemy to go invis (which will then refund my dodge), dodge near the wizard to proc lethal current and to refund my charged melee, shoot wizard with OTP shotgun, melee the wizard, and then finish the wizard. This should "1 shot" the wizard due to the damage of the punch and shotgun plus the jolt from lethal current. After the finisher, then repeat that process on the all 3 wizards, then go dunk. Then deposit your visages at each statue and be sure you are ending on one of the side ones. Keep up your Combo Blow x3 while going to each statue.
• After you’ve deposited your 3rd visage, get another powered melee acolyte kill to go invis and to refund your dodge. Run down the stairs and dodge past/next to Ecthar to get your charged melee back + lethal current. Shoot the knight that spawns with your OTP shotgun, melee the knight and it should die from the jolt explosion if your combo blow x3 is up.
• Once the knight is down and you’re standing in its pool, immediately turn around to face the boss and throw your Gathering Storm super (this should help with getting his shield down quick) switch to lament and then wait for the boss to run to you or run to the boss. Once the boss is on you throw your pulse nade at your feet for extra damage on the boss.
• My rotation I used on the boss for Lament to keep my health up as much as possible and to do get quick but strong dmg was: Block, Rev’d Light Attack, Rev’d Light Attack, Rev’d Heavy Attack, then a normal Light Attack, and another normal Light Attack. Repeat. If you can land this combo consistently it will net you a 4 phase but if not it’s a guaranteed 5 phase. If you start taking too much damage or feel like you might die during this do not feel discouraged to disengage and either kill a nearby acolyte with your charged melee for invis & heal or just dip into the water (I would sometimes have to do this -AFTER- the boss goes immune to save my ass lol).
• This fight took me 5 phases due to the combo not always landing correctly. The reason being is I would just phase thru Ecthar and miss, or it do that laggy thing where he'd teleport like 2 feet behind me but overall it was very consistent on damage.
• Knights are the biggest factor in taking damage here during boss dps. Sometimes they like to artillery strike you from the stairs (worst outcome), sometimes they’ll run at you and you can kill them with Lament when you’re dps’ing the boss (better outcome), or they just won’t bother with you at all until dmg phase is over (best outcome). More often than not they will usually arty strike from the stairs. So be cautious.
• For this entire encounter keep Combination Blow x3 up as much as possible as this will allow you to one shot all acolytes in the arena. Land your shotgun shots for OTP, and make sure to get lethal current up as this will basically “one shot” the lucent wizards, knights, and ogres. And as a reminder these kills will keep you invisible as well as heal you whenever you need it, makes navigating the arena just that much safer.

For the final encounter on the build as well things that would need to be changed from what’s shown on the DIM link:

• So for this encounter I ran Arby, OTP energy shotgun, and an explosive light rocket with tracking for boss damage. If you don’t have a rocket with explosive and track, ascendancy is in the kiosk at the tower where you can claim past seasonal exotics and legendaries. Main thing for this loadout is to again rock double specials and making sure one of them is a OTP shotgun to help with majors and mini bosses (the lucent hive).
• If rockets aren’t your play or don’t feel comfortable, linears (vorpal, frenzy, bait and switch, etc) will be your next best option, followed by a machine gun (vorpal, target lock, killing tally).
• On the chest piece make sure you have 2 arc resists on (for the boss when she shoots at you) and a concussive dampener. There seems to be some talk about moths ignoring resists, but in my runs it seems the concussive dampener actually helps with this. On the boots use the surge to whatever element your heavy is, mine was Arc cause of Hothead.
• When the battle starts head over to Oryx’s right hand, wait for the ads to spawn. Powered melee kill them to get your combo blow x3 going. Keep up combo blow x3 as much as possible to stay invis from the boss as much as you can during this encounter.
• After you’ve gotten combo blow x3, you’ll want to clear out and kill the 3 major knights in the arena. First one should be near you down by Oryx’s right knee, then the 2nd one will be over by Oryx’s left hand (near where you enteplace down the rally flag), then the final one will be up at the top by Oryx’s head. After you’ve killed all 3 knights activate the deepsight (melee kill an acolyte to go invis so the boss doesn’t blast you while you activate it). Map of the arena for reference.
• Locate which limbs you need to activate. It will always be chest/heart + 2 other limbs, and you must always activate one of the other 2 limbs first. For whatever reason doing chest first doesn’t work when I was doing my runs. When activating the limbs, you don’t actually have to kill Vorlog within the circle that glows (I initially thought you had to), just make sure you're standing in the glowing circle when you kill Vorlog.
• Now this is where Assassin’s Cowl comes into play very nicely for this encounter. Every time you complete the “look thru the circle and line up the symbol” at each limb, the boss likes to spawn those nuke moths. If you complete a limb while invis, these moths will -DESPAWN-. This is a massive benefactor to this fight simply cause you do not have to deal with the moths that are shoot at you. Another note: if you complete a limb and then go invis right after with a melee kill, the moths will spawn but they won’t track for you and will instead just track to a hive npc to give them the shield.
• Once you have all 3 limbs activated it's time to grab visages from the lucent hive. My method was always killing the 3 lucent hive in the exact same order every phase (from hardest to kill to easiest to kill for me) so I knew when I was about to start dps phase. My order was Knight 1st > Acolyte 2nd > Wizard last Every. Single. Time. I always found the knight to be the toughest of the 3 due to the double shield throw and melee/slam damage the knight likes to do. I would usually try to shoot him first while clearing out the ads so he would super and I wouldn't have to worry about a potential death from the shield throws.
• When entering in the area to kill the lucent hive I -ALWAYS- said to myself out loud the symbol a bunch of times so I knew where I was dunking it at. Then before finishing the lucent ghost I would look at it one more time and continue to say it out loud as I killed the ghost. Feel free to type it in the chat, but speaking it out loud helped with remembering it much better for me. Also, same as the Ecthar fight I would build up my combo blow x3 to clear out the acolytes, run up to the lucent hive, dodge for jolt, shoot a OTP shotgun shot, then 2 melee hits to kill.
• After killing the lucent hive and was back in the main boss area I made sure to melee kill an acolyte for invis, go activate deepsite while invis, then dunk the symbol while invis as well. You should have plenty of time between, but if not just get another melee kill to refresh invis.
• Once the 3rd symbol is dunked or you're heading to dunk it make sure you're invis. Once dunked pull out arby, hit the boss once to get rid of the shield, and throw your Gathering Storm super at the boss right after.
• Now here’s where it can get tricky cause I wiped a couple times due to this cause I used rockets. When doing heavy weapon dps on the boss, be sure to clear out any ads (especially thralls) at your feet before starting for extra orbs for surge dmg if you need it.
• Now, when going to shoot your rockets (if you’re using them) either jump up on an area where thralls can’t get you easily or jump and shoot around in the arena (I did a mix of both). This helps with not killing yourself by shooting an ad in your face.
• Another thing to note, when going to shoot your rocket (if you’re using one) make sure the boss is actually shooting at you or else she’ll move and dodge the rocket. Her shooting at you allows you actually land your shots cause she won’t be moving around actively trying to dodge your rockets/shots.
• Rinse and repeat these steps and you should be good. This took me 4 times/phases to beat and just over 90 minutes to complete.
• -DONT FORGET TO FINISH THE BOSSES-

Proof 1 Proof 2 Dungeon Report
Let me know if you have any questions about it! Took me about 8 hours of grinding over the course of 2 days this past weekend to get thru this dungeon solo flawless.

I've worked at companies of all sizes as a software engineer for 10+ years, so I'm curious what you all make of this situation.
I've been at this startup for ~2 years. It was great when I started, there were like 4 other people on my team. The company is pretty distributed, headquartered on the east coast with workers across most North American time zones. When I started my team also had two devs from a 3rd-party hiring service who work in South America. VP of tech and a design director. No middle mgmt but it was fine. Super meeting-phobic - any suggestion of a meeting was shot down pretty quick.
Fast forward to now, it's a mess. I'm not sure why but leadership prioritized tripling our engineering headcount without hiring any managers. It's just the same vp/design director leading our team as before, but now there are 12 other engineers on the team. For some reason they are also hiring more people who are 8-10 hours ahead in Eastern Europe. also, the VP let us know earlier this year that he's leaving the role and is just waiting on a new VP to be hired.
A few problems I've noticed that I wanted to ask about:
- Knowledge isn't being shared. The same two or three people who have been around for years are the ones constantly being called on to fix the big problems. For example, how we handle authentication. I get that people want job security, but when I suggested we have a team discussion on this stuff to help everyone learn how to handle it, no one showed interest. (again, meeting-phobic)
- People in distant time zones are given projects to lead. A project in my wheelhouse was given to someone 10 hours ahead in Europe. This person was also hired through the 3rd-party company FWIW. Our designer is usually 8 hours ahead of me (also in Europe) and a few hours ahead of others in South America, so any questions to them usually take a day to get answered.
- Bad planning. The VP and design director are trying to handle planning our team's sprint on top of their other job duties, but it's always sort of half-baked. Many details get missed (i.e. task is added by design director to add X capability in front-end, only when engineers start task do we realize that this requires a large back-end change as well which should have been caught much earlier) and stories/issues aren't being updated to reflect changes. Sometimes it takes days to get a response from leadership for clarification on requirements. Also I've asked before about helping with planning (even just running planning meetings!), vp was adamant that it's up to the leaders of the subteams to plan stuff and for me to not step on their toes.
- A lack of work due to bad planning. for the past few months it's been a lot of "do you have enough to work on?" talk on my team, and other subteams. And we just kept hiring. Today we switched up the teams and during standup, there was still talk of "okay, I'll find some work for you xyz" between the VP and coworkers. I know a lot of people say "refactor something, or build something new" and it's beyond that. It's become a problem across the team, and has been a problem for months. I keep myself busy with finding bugs but I'm always stressed that I'm not doing enough. It's also a challenge to soothe that stress when I don't have 1:1s with my manager. and last time I did, he was so busy with other things that he didn't have any feedback for me regarding my performance.
Any ideas why are we're hiring so many more people when there isn't work there? This startup is great, but I'm getting concerned that we're going to run into more problems soon. Should I just take the work assigned to me and not worry so much?

Hi everyone, this is a silly question but I lost my pen for my tab 8+ and I genuinely think it's absolutely gone. I looked it up and the cost of a replacement is super pricey especially for me since I'm a student. Anyone have any tips or ideas on what I can do or potential discounts for ways to get it cheaper? (Other than the student discount)
