The small 1 and 2 make the top row that I have blocked appear and dissapear, I want the blocked row to always show.

I’m running in the 15-17 range and have hit a point where more coordination with kicks/stuns is required to push further.
For instance: in AV there is a pull with 4 crystal furies for which piercing shards need to be stopped. We rotate aoe cc/stuns (honestly if they even do that) then need to use single target stuns and I’ll use spell reflect when I see one about to go through. I’ll start using my ST stuns but at that point 1 will get through. A few seconds later maybe 2 will get through and I’m at 3 stacks and damage starts to ramp up. Another good example is with mystic vapors. Are pugs taking the time before pulls to mark individual adds to avoid wasting kicks? When it’s one target it’s fine. I’ll volunteer to get the first kick and people will volunteer after that. I feel like right now a lot of this pressure is on me and it can very quickly become chaotic when I’m trying to dodge mechanics, not accidentally pull another pack while dodging, keep an eye on my threat, and simultaneously cycle targets to get multiple individual kicks/stops, all while trying to keep the mobs pointed away from the rest of the group to avoid them getting blasted by frontals. I know DPS need to be helping me in these moments but I don’t know how to coordinate them to help them help me/us.
Eventually I hit a point where I’ve used everything and will not have some kind of CC available for a few seconds to like 15 seconds which is disastrous at times if DPS aren’t filling in the gaps. The more chaotic the situation gets for me, the less focused and less likely they are to even notice the cast going off and aoe stun again when theirs is up so this all has a snowball effect. The healer blows cooldowns when they shouldn’t have to so then we don’t have them when we should be using them.
Most of our wipes are because I have run out of CC and defensive cooldowns.
How are tanks managing the group management side of this?
I see people posting about how at a certain point pugs know what they need to do can can fly through these situations no comms but I haven’t hit that point. This is my first season pushing rating and I have only run a tank through so I don’t really get to see how other tanks are handling this.

3-4 weeks ago it felt like a marble. That's when I first noticed something was weird.
Last week it felt larger so I went to my doc. Got an ultrasound, confirmed the mass of 3.2 cm.
So it had grown from a marble to a grape in 3 weeks.
Had my urology appointment yesterday. He basically confirmed everything. Looks like testicular cancer, etc. Plan was to schedule surgery for 1-2 weeks.
Just heard back from the scheduler and I'm in the books for April 26th.
Given how quickly this thing is growing, should I be worried that my surgery is a month out?

I've just recently gone through a bout with bronchitis which lasted 3 weeks—and the near constant deep coughing has left me with some strained intercostal rib tissue/a click when I rub the painful spot. It didn't help that I overtrained one week on the tail end of that—doing 1-2 classes per day (boxing and MT).
This last Monday I went to my usual boxing class and the bad rib burned more and more as I did hooks—by the end of class I was having trouble doing any kind of twisting and I had to skip ab work. After a couple days of taking it easy, the discomfort is manageable, but recovery seems slow.
According to The Internet there's not a lot to be done about rib injuries, and I'm thinking I tore some tissue/cartilage/possibly have a minor fracture. So I'm doomed to take it easy for a couple weeks in hopes that this clears up.
In the meantime, jogging/jump rope cause the rib pain to flare up, so I'm not jumping into those at full force. I've been doing treadmill walking with weights, with a 9 percent grade for 3-4 miles daily to get some kind of exercise. I've also been working on my hip mobility with stretches.
Do you all have any suggestions on what else I could do which wouldn't aggravate a rib injury? Taking time off is really bugging me, and I'd like to make the most out of this recovery time. I just purchased an agility ladder for practicing boxing footwork, but I think that's a little ambitious for this moment in time.
Thanks in advance for any ideas you might have.

I asked the dealers if I could get a picture of the chips while they were coloring up, but the pit boss said no. I was too excited to remember to snap a pic of the chips once my girlfriend picked them up.
I just want to say how much I appreciate the people who post their stories, strategies, and information on things like where the good tables are and how to engage with the dealers. I’ve been wanting to learn craps for years, but could never gather the nerve to try it. Every time I stood near a table and watched the game, it just didn’t make sense to me. I played for the first time last month when a friend hit the table and convinced me to throw down $200 and copy his bets. He wasn’t very good and ended up losing his money, but I started to grasp some basic concepts and stopped copying him. I was up and down across 2 sessions, but ended up leaving Vegas up about $380 after I got lucky on my ATS bet and hit the small and the hard 4 at the same time and then lost some more before walking away. I started watching this sub, watching Color Up on YouTube, and researching on some other sites. I still don’t fully understand the basics, and I’ve got a long way to go on the rest of the table.
This trip:
My girlfriend and I hit Vegas and I was eager to get her to a table. I hit up MGM Grand and ignorantly threw down $500 on a $50 table without thinking. I decided to stick with it, and was quickly up a couple hundred, and then down about $80 before the other players left the table and I decided to walk away. We walked over to Park MGM and found a $15 table. Spent about an hour there and I just took some time to show my girlfriend some basics and explain the various things that were happening. She still didn’t want to play, but she was enjoying the social aspect. They changed the table to $25 and I decided to color up and walk away $200 up. We walked around through Aria and Cosmo and couldn’t find a $15 table at 1:00-2:00am.
We got some food and eventually walked back through Park MGM on our way to the car and my girlfriend spotted a $15 table. Nobody was playing the table, so my GF wasn’t interested. I convinced her it was a good time to just casually play and learn some things. I put down $200 for her and $500 for me, and we started playing. I told her copy my bets until she gets the hang of it. I can’t even tell you if my strategy matches anything in particular, because I still couldn’t tell you the difference between triple lux and a squeeze play…or whatever. My plan is to bet the minimum on the pass line and then match that with odds on the pass and $18 on 6 and 8 once the point is established. If the point hits 6 or 8, I’ll move my bet to 5 or 9 arbitrarily. Just do a little collect, press, collect, press…then start adding bets across the board. I’ll collect a bit more and then start pressing every time one hits. We didn’t get that far on the first several rolls between us. My GF started making arbitrary decisions like, “I like 5 more than 9,” when the point was on 6 or 8 and the dealer was asking if we wanted to move or take the bets down. She was out pretty quickly. I was up and down for a while, and it was looking grim. My GF asked if she could roll for me on my last $50. I asked if she could and the pit boss said yes.
Followed the same plan and it was working. I started putting down $10 bets on pass line odds for the dealers and they started giving us advice, like how high we can bet on pass line odds. Thank god for that, because I had no idea…and I ended up moving up to $25 on the PL and $125 on the PL odds. I also started throwing down $25 and $50 bets on PL odds for the dealers every time the point was established. My GF was repeatedly hitting the point. I have no idea how long that run lasted, but I was up to $100 on the 9 and similar on the others by the time I was done pressing. Probably made the dealers $600+ and they were just having a good time with us and teaching us along the way.
I’ve only played about 5 times over the last month. I’m pretty ignorant about the game, and sort of bet by feel, but I’m sure I’ve made some mistakes in this explanation. I’d appreciate any feedback/corrections on this. Again, thanks to everyone who posts and comments here. It helps a lot.

Hi All,
​
I want to get your feedback on how to help my pup. She is a young 1.5 year old corgi/border collie mutt with lots of energy and herding instincts. She's a small dog about 15 lbs. She hates bikes and fast moving things like cars.
Recently my parents left the door open and she got out and chased a kid on a skateboard. She usually just barks at them a lot and then my parents got her to come back inside. However, I soon find out that there was a case opened due to this incident. The Animal Control Police Officer gave me a citation for having a loose dog and apparently she nipped at the kids feet and he had a bike mark. I was fine with the citation since we were at fault here.
Animal Control Officer calls a week later and tells me he reviewed the local ordinance and will be classifying her as level 2 danger dog. I do not think she's a danger, this was just one incident. With level 2 danger dog, there are a lot that entails that I do not want to put her through since she already has some anxiety. She will be required to be muzzled at all times and put in a cage when I transport her anywhere for 3 years. I do not want to do this to her for one small incident.
I plan on attesting this but am looking for any potential help I can find on this forum since the ordinance are quite vague.
​
Thank you ahead of time.

Hey, I am setting up a 10 gal betta tank. I looked and you didn’t have any beginner resources so I am posting here to ask.
What will I need to grow plants in this tank? I already know heater and filter for betta.
1- I want a low lying ground cover “carpet” plant, but I read not to get seeds. What plant should I look for as a carpet plant?
2- What substrate will I need?
3- Do I need a special light to make plants grow
4- do plants go in before I cycle the tank/ “in cycle”?
I am not a technical person so please dumb this down for me. Thank you!

Just tried installing the mods through the installer and im not getting the same mods the guides are saying. I'm getting:
1) Community Patch (v 114)
2) Vox Populi (v 16)
3a) VP - EUI Compatibility files (v 1)
4a) Promotion Icons for VP (v 6)
4b) UI Promotion Tree for VP (v 22)
Is this a change that the guides haven't been updated with or do I need to reinstall? Also if this is right do I use one of 4a or 4b and not both?

Is this a psychiatric issue or some form of tinnitus or something else entirely?
Every day for the past several months I have heard ducks quacking at 5.27pm, 7.09pm and again at 11.12pm. Nobody else can hear anything, so I have concluded that it’s not an external source. Also, it happens no matter where I am, so I don’t think it can be an environmental issue. It doesn’t seem to be related to any particular activity or body position either.
It lasts for around 4 or 5 minutes at a time. Constant quacking and sometimes a feeling of tightness across or else pulsating in my head, and / or a fluttering sensation in my ears. At other random times I feel all the sensations, but don’t hear any ducks. I had blocked sinuses a few months prior to the issue developing, but other than that I have had no diagnosed ENT problems.
It is mildly irritating, but doesn’t affect my life to any significant degree, other than making me increasingly worried that I am going mad.
I first noticed the time pattern for the 5.27 “flock” because they happened to say the time on the radio and after that I started noticing it. With the 11.12 one, my wife pointed out that I always mention it when getting ready for bed.
To be clear, I don’t sit around counting down the seconds until it happens. It’s more a case of, it happens and then I glance at my watch and see it’s on schedule.
Could it be related to extreme sleep deprivation? I have very bad insomnia, and average 2-3 hours of sleep per night.
I am aware that it sounds utterly ridiculous, but I am getting worried that it is a sign of some horrible psychiatric, neurological or god knows what else problem. I am too embarrassed to visit my own GP about it, and it seems too trivial to warrant a visit anyway.
Thank you.

The current commendation system has conflicting goals:

1. Incentivize pro-social behavior for match made teams.
2. Act as a progression gate for Guardian Ranks.
3. Act as a type of flair.

Of the goals number 2 has the strongest incentive, the number everyone can see next your name goes up. Pro-social behavior is nebulous and the flair you only see when investigating someone's profile or hover over their name in a menu. Because of this, people hand out commendations to everyone every match regardless of their behavior and no one cares to give out a commendation for a specific type of action so it's service as flair has no meaning.
Proposed Solution: Ditch all the goals outside of the reason the system was included in the first place, to improve the behavior of the D2 community and thus the quality of it's match made experience. To accomplish this:

1. Decouple commendations from Guardian Ranks.
2. Remove categories.
3. Allow only a single commendation per match.
4. Only allow guardians to give commendations to other players they were matched with, not queued with.
5. Give no incentive to hand out commendations, other than the desire to say GG or possibly the hope someone will give one back.
6. Create a strong incentive for players to want to earn commendations, such as for every 5 commendations the ability to cash in commendations for a piece of end game gear (I.E. artifice armor or a red border weapon).

This new methodology would create a strong incentive for players to want to earn commendations through pro-social play and remove the conflicting goals that are currently making the system schizophrenic and meritless.

Playing on my iPhone, and I’m curious as to what happens when you cancel a membership or continue it. I was going to do the 7 day free trial with the month membership. 1. If I continue the membership, how much is it a month? Is it cheaper to just do the $80 a year? 2. What happens to stats when you build up the previously capped stats from F2P? When you cancel, do they go back to the capped amount, or will it stay at whatever level you’ve built them up to?
