I disagree, but you’re entitled to your opinion same as everyone else. There were a lot of bad EU materials and the Thrawn trilogy was a high water line.
That said, it fell prey to being yet another fucking super-weapon and dark Jedi story. It’s quintessential Star Wars but so played out.
Sometimes it’s hard to play with certain great combos because I have another character already using the gear. That happens a lot with Shart and reverb/radiant orb gear. But I think I just got BotMS yesterday so maybe I’ll give it a shot.
My concern is the folks I most want to crit the hell out of are folks with legendary resistance. Having 18-20 crit range (champ+deadshot) is really helpful on boss fights because 2 smite crits can just about end a boss fight (along with the plinking of everyone else).
That being said, the size of my crits I think is really being limited by only having level 2 spells. I just really don’t care for paladins all that much. I might try Sorcadin with a focus on crit elixirs instead of cloud giant.
My last run I think I respecced her to Eldritch Knight and just ran her alongside Lae’zel’s Battlemaster. With Shart for debuffing holy blender and a bard Tav artillery support. Six two handed weapon smashes, plus usually seventh and eighth bonus smashes is really consistent damage.
“I just wanna debate this guy, but you know– and I’m gonna demand a drug test too, by the way,” Trump said as the audience cheered. “I am. No, I really am. I don’t want him coming in like the State of the Union. He was high as a kite.”

I feel like we’ve had this particular conversation several times lately in the public sphere. There can only be two parties in the presidential race. You’ll have to co-opt one of them from within to effect change.
“Died of high chili consumption”? Is this actual English? Those words don’t seem to fit together that way. I feel like if this were a real thing, Thailand wouldn’t exist.
Mexican food has nothing on Thai food when it comes to spice. I like spicy food, even Thai-spicy food, but I have only once made the mistake of asking them to make it as spicy as they could. I swear that little old lady was hiding a huge grin as she marched that order back to the kitchen. Then they only came out to refill my water once.
It was fucking delicious, but I think I started to hallucinate.
I held that line for decades. I honestly thought he had a super fucked up childhood and just turned into a weird manchild with fucked up boundaries. But in the last few years since his death I feel like the balance of evidence is weighing heavily against him. Of course he’s not around to defend himself any more, either. I’m done sticking up for him. Either way it’s a tragic tale.
Hundreds of times? Multiple hundreds? Let’s generously assume she manages to invade a clinic a month. Then she been doing that nonstop for nearly twenty years minimum. Hundreds is hyperbole, right? Right?
Eddie Murray was the top point scorer for the Lions for the entirety of the 80’s. Growing up in Michigan during that decade, he and Barry Sanders (90’s) are the only Lions I can remember.
Maybe that’s just a really specific circumstance of a great kicker on a shit team, but I think he was pretty respected.

The subsidy is included in that income. They are being paid by the Chinese govt in part or in particular to damage foreign manufacturing base and economies and to keep them out of China as a strategic move.
“So what” is a fair question that deserves an answer. The most obvious concern is if they are able to hurt our manufacturing, we become reliant on their car’s and the prices go up and we start exporting more of our wealth and we as a nation become poorer and less able to fight back on predatory practices.
There are also national defense considerations to having a weak manufacturing base. That’s why we are trying to build up our semiconductor capabilities because we are already too reliant on SE Asia for comfort.
The Chevy Bolt was consistently praised as a wonderful EV, but last I heard GM lost money on it factoring in the battery recall, so I don’t think the goal here is to protect the “massive profits” by keeping prices high.
Is this particular move the right one? Too much? Too little? All good questions and folks who know way more about it could have a healthy debate, but there are good reasons other than fucking over American car buyers. Walmart and Amazon have destroyed local retailers to our detriment, and that’s the sort of situation this aims to prevent. But I can’t say whether it’s the right solution or will ultimately work.
Well, that’s a fair point. The Bolt is being replaced by an EV version of the Equinox, which I like better for the crossover size factor, but I suspect it won’t hit quite the same as the Bolt.
No replacement for the Volt, though. Which kinda sucks, though it wasn’t a cheap market car by any means. I think mine was 35k new and I didn’t spring for the fancy version.
