The two builds I played were an int caster and a str big bonk. The caster had a much easier time with bosses but open world was more dangerous. The opposite for the str build, had to learn more timing and patterns for bosses but open world was a smash fest. Great sword in caelid is easy to get early and is pretty great, just pumping up str and hp/end and a little dex just to meet weapon requirements.

The speed of light
Reply in thread
When sailing boats pushed for speed they ended up hitting an unexpected speed barrier. As you increase velocity the break wave created by the bow of the ship elongates until the length of the ship is at 1 wavelength, then the hull drag prevents further acceleration. For a 50 meter ship it's about 17 knots. You can get much faster lifting the boat from the water as you gain speed with an underwater wing, the current max speed was set 47 years ago at ~276 knots. But that's only because they can remove the hull from the high drag environment and is extremely dangerous to attempt to break. The speed of light is nothing like that because spacetime itself can stretch and squish, I just wanted to talk about boats for a bit.

TIL that last month, a rich man in New Jersey killed a pedestrian and left the scene. He was put on trial. The jury found him guilty. 15 minutes later, he walked out free.
Here's a similar story from a couple years ago about a racist piece of shit who shot and killed a protestor, was found guilty by a jury of peers, then governor and likely klan member Greg Abbott pardoned him.
Here's a quote from Daniel Perry on social media before he murdered someone at a BLM protest in cold blood:
"I might go to Dallas to shoot looters."
And
The friend replied to Perry, “Can you catch me a negro daddy", and Perry responded, “That is what I am hoping.”
Abbott pretended it was a self defense killing when Perry drove up, shot his victim who was pushing his girlfriend's wheelchair, the drove off. It didn't hold up in court so he lied about it in his pardon. Murderers and would-be slavers, Abbott and Perry deserve a long drop and a short rope. Pardons are a mockery of justice by jury decision.

Can some please explain to me why it is that your health insurance can deny you medication, even if your doctor says you need it?
The insurance company is going to have a doctor who said you don't need it. They will try to hide who that doctor is, specifically what their NPI is, which can be used to personally identify the doctor who made the medical judgement against your doctor's without having to provide further explanation than they've already given. Depending where you are they may have to provide more information when directly asked for specific evidences, or will suddenly change their rejection on the claim with a letter from an attorney asking for specific details in writing. They know hiring an attorney is expensive and bank on people not advocating for their rights & people with severe medical issues not being able to afford to.
And lastly a video of a surgeon being denied the NPI of the insurance's doctors who are likely breaking the law hiding behind the idea that insurance doctors are so hated they need to hide their identity even from other doctors to prevent reprisal. She was blacklisted from United claims for this video and others like it.

Sometimes it's the only way to identify a journalist with standards is when they get fired for holding to those standards, I hope they get enough supporters to do independent reporting without depending on a corrupt corpo paycheck
