  1. Although it's based in Australia, I find the forums over at Beyond Blue are some of the most helpful. https://www.beyondblue.org.au/get-support/online-forums I'd urge you to reconsider talking to a doctor if you feel your problem affects your quality of life though. Most people with mental illness think their problems are foolish or worthless, and most of them are wrong. Overboard pickyness could, for example, be a marker for obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (NOT the same as OCD) and can seriously impact your life.

  2. They can enrich it to ~20%, they need ~95% to make proper bombs, though packing some 4-20% U235 into a rocket would be unpleasant enough by itself. Getting to 95% purity is hard and requires a lot of very specialist centrifuges which you can't simply build or order online. They're at least partially breaking the limit because... the US has sanctioned companies receiving uranium from Iran for receiving uranium from Iran. They'll probably break the D2O limits at some point as the Omani company receiving their heavy water is under sanctions threat as well. They need a properly secure black box system- US has, for example, extensively hacked SWIFT such that they can literally redirect money to themselves let alone merely see transactions. That's not an issue for little players on the fringe of the sanctions, but they will definitely go after oil transactions and the like. Europe would, over all, prefer to wait 18 months in the hope Trump is a single term president than do anything though because Europe is, when it comes right down to it, a spineless jelly devoid of principle. The Pakistani who helped DPRK make their bomb is under arrest, Pakistan gets lots of aid from Saudi (who allegedly sponsored their bomb in the first place), they're sunni and Iran is shia, they have some shared interests such as being against Balochi separatists but not much. They don't have any reason to, and lots of reasons not to- they may not be on great terms with the US at the moment but toys would really come out of the cot if they helped Iran get nukes. And above all else there isn't any real evidence that Iran is trying to make a bomb; it's just Bibi, Bolton, Pompeo and Bone Saw shouting about it in the hope if it's said enough people will believe it per Nigerien yellowcake, anthrax and WMD over London in 45 minutes.

  3. I spotted this topic and decided to poke around our old documentation. It looks as if The Demon was among the requests made for the "Create an Inn" backer tier on the Fig campaign. To my knowledge, no quest was ever associated to them. Just think of them as an infamous bouncer there for atmosphere.

  4. am understanding the anger and disappointment, but bernie is a poor candidate for what you propose. is a pacifist who decries violence (regardless o' ideology) and he were involved in the peaceful protests o' multiple generations, y'know, 'cause he is so old. wouldn't call him a journalist, but he did write for a liberal publication after he finished university. also, considering he were one o' the few, consistent and vocal senators to oppose the patriot act when it were first enacted, and each time after when its lifeline were extended, is unlikely he is gonna support any group which wishes to suppress viewpoint expression. am not a bernie fan, but am thinking you do him a disservice. gonna need find somebody younger or at least somebody who has been less consistent supportive o' core American values. keep in mind that by even modern european standards, bernie is kinda moderate. however, and perhaps most significant, robespierre were a lawyer. HA! Good Fun!

  7. After a lengthy period of gathering players' feedback, theorycrafting and balancing, we have come with a Community Patch Mod - a community based collection of tweaks and improvements. Community Patch consists of the following stand-alone modules: Basic - includes a lot of suggestions from the Deadfire Polishing Poll - a poll made by players for players, in order to pinpoint the possible balance problems and address them. Basic mod - is a conservative patch, it includes only those suggestions that have twice more votes pro than votes against change. (note: in case of suggestion with multiple options - we were aggregating them) Extra - also includes the suggestions from Deadfire Polishing Poll. But only those that didn't make it into Basic package, but still have more votes pro than votes against. Additionally, Extra includes a few fixes for several bug reports that we have found on the official technical forums. Keywords - address the randomness and apparent lack of systematic approach to spell keywords. This mainly affects priest, and to a lesser degree druids, ciphers and wizards. Typos - fixes a wide array of typos found in the English version of the game. Icons - adds a completely unique set of icons for all passive talents and effects. They were handcrafted with being as suggestive, unique and fitting as possible, in mind. For more info, you can check the mod page, or original thread on these forums, here.

  8. First of all - roleplay music background https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEjPohtfhcc Hand of Doom Difficulty: PotD v. 5.0 with Community Patch (Forbidden Fist ability changed to weapon attack) Solo: totally viable, but untested. I played some tougher fights with team wandering somewhere, especially Eder for pet slot (Nalvi) Class: Forbidden Fist/Steel Garrote Race: Nature Godlike for better fisting with Wellspring of Life Background: Ixamitl Plains - Laborer Stats: Might - 18 (+ 2 berath blessing, 1 gift from the machine, 1 chameleon's touch, 2 alchemic brawn, 1 rabyuna's boon, 5 tunderous blows = 30) damage and healing bonus Constitution - 3 (+ 2 berath blessing, 2 alchemic brawn = 7) dumped because of incredible self healing Dexterity - 15~18 (+ 2 berath blessing, 2 footprints of ahu taka, 1 chameleon's touch, 2 alchemic guile, 1 rabyuna's boon, 1 godlike = 24~27) Perception - 15~18 (+ 2 berath blessing, 2 alchemic guile = 19~22) Intellect - 3 (+ 2 berath blessing, 2 alchemic wits, 1 godlike, 10 turning wheel = 18) dump base int, because of turning wheel. Needs max wounds for fire lash, and you don't want extend forbidden curse to much Resolve - 18 (+ 2 berath blessing, 2 alchemic wits, 2 token of faith, 2 rabyuna's boon, 1 ixamitl plains, 1 cauldron brew = 28) test it at different game stages, to keep forbidden curse effect below 3sec, with max bonus from turning wheel. Then it ticks only once, and when curse fades heals you more, than injures. You can also use shorewalker sandals, cabin boy instead of rabyuna, ring of the solitary wanderer, harmony ring, or sacrifice palegina in PoE 1. Equipment: Head: godlike head for wellspring of life. (Add potion of ascencion to reach 10 power level, and your fists will be post-mythic utensils of destruction with +80% damage, +22 accuracy and 13 penetration) Back: The Giftbearer's Cloth Neck: Token of Faith for +2 resolve or Bone Setter's Torc for additional healing, or Strand of Favour (remember to adjust equipment to forbidden curse lasts below 3sec) Armor: first Devil of Caroc Beastplate or Gipon Prudensco, then Contender's Armour (with enough athletics, that you use as emergency healing, nalvi pet and abraham pet, this armor is faster than naked and has nice armor rating), or Kahako Nihi (the tankiest, but also the slowest. Looks cool and has great enchantments that reduce enemy armor and penetration, and the most important, gives you 10% piercing lash to forbidden fist ability) Waist: Blunting Belt/Upright Captain if using pull of eora/ Ngati Girdle/Makers Own Power (for might and crush AR. Reforge the Flesh is bad for you, because of paralyze. Your healing is reduced when deal no damage. Use up its charge before fight) Hands: Hylea's Talons (about 7 self damage, healed for 300% more immediately when effect wears of, and give you wound, and 5% slash lash for weapon attacks) Rings: Chameleon's Touch and Ring of Prosperity's Fortune (or ring of the solitary wanderer, harmony ring but remember to adjust equipment to forbidden curse duration below 3sec) Boots: Footprints of Ahu Taka/Shorewalker Sandals Pet: abraham (and nalvi on eder if possible) Weapon set 1: Magran's Favour with modal on (when using Forbidden fist ability the initial attack is made with your fist irrespectively of weapon in active slot, but heartbeat drumming and flurry strikes use magrans favour with modal, which apply bleeding cuts with no recovery penalty, an it's always main hand, without damage reduction even if you dual wielding) Tuotillo's Palm with modal on (you doesn't need to use auto attacks often, so no dps decrease due to tuotillo's low base dmg or modal recovery, but its enchants adds 5 accuracy to forbidden fist ability, and 1 deflection for every wound. You want to have 10 wounds all the time for turning wheel lash. Deflection is, at this time, high enough to enemies often miss you, so FF ability gets +15 accuracy from modal) Weapon set 2: Kapana Taga and Tuotillo when flanked (swaping weapon when flanked should give you wound, becouse you get rid of negative effect, but i honestly doesn't know if it works) Food - Mohora Wraps Drugs - Mouth Char Quick slots - Potion of Ascension Abilities: Steel Garrote and Forbidden Fist passive talents - The harder you hit, the more you heal. With post-mythic forbiden fist you hit like a truck, heal from draining, then after 2,9 sec curse disappears and heal you more! (possible only with Community patch, becouse original FF is not a weapon attack) Eternal Devotion - 10% burning lash for FF Exalted Endurance - 8 hp per 3 sec Deep Faith, Inspired Defences, Weapon and Shield style, Practiced Healer, Stoic Steel - for defence Virtuous Triumph - resorce regen Sworn Rival - additional damage from it is supressed by FF, but it works on SF/HBD Clarity of Agony - reduce curse duration (its upgrade doesn't stack with turning wheel) Swift Flurry, Heartbeat Drumming - tons of instant bleeding cuts, and additional healing from Steel Garrote's passive talent (possible only with Community patch, becouse original FF is not a weapon attack) Tunderous Blows - +5 might and +2 pen Turning Wheel - +20% burning lash with 10 wounds (then also 10 deflection from tuotillo's palm) Crucible of Suferring - bonus to all defences exept deflection. Always active due to forrbiden curse fading time after time Soul Mirror - i became convinced to this talent when it reflect concelhaut beam spell against him Mortification of the Soul - gaining wounds by FF may be slow when nobody can afflict you, and the damage of mortification is almost instatntly covered by self healing. Nice to have Instruments od Pain - for stoic steel preservation if no enemies in mele range Rest is up to you. This build is realy indestructible machine, that can also deal huge damage. It doesn't uses any exploit or cheats, but many, many, many little synergies, which stacked together makes it smash enemies with 35(or 45% with kahako nihi) lash, heal itself for tremendous amounts, and regen resources. Here's console created character for tests vs some famphyrs (no specific tactic and it runs on AI ) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gDlNDayZrJPgacTqK5cCqQGQ2PLQ-XWb/view?usp=sharing

  19. That's one of those technically correct depending on (so much) context (as to make it useless) things. For ongoing religion based displacement of persons the largest group supposedly is christians, but that is with a bunch of caveats. Religion based, so muslims in Syria/ Iraq don't count but christians do; ongoing so Palestinians don't count; and while we're at it we'll exclude the Rohingya since that's an ethnicity which just happens to be muslim being ethnically cleansed etc.

  20. Ive been busy doing stuff around the house this weekend. Yesterday I unclogged a pants-crappingly high gutter and downspout and replaced the float valve in one of the toilets. Today Ill probably replace my garbage disposal. I already bought it, I just have to muster the motivation to install it.

  21. I get that, I use Netflix and Pandora myself, and I could see the appeal if it was just a subscription service. Pay $15 a month and you have access to 1000 games, or whatever. I'm still not sure if it would be for me, but I could see the selling point. But if I gotta pay $60 a pop to be able to stream games, I fail to see the appeal. If I have to pay a monthly subscription AND pay $60 a pop on top of that... (that rumor can't be true, can it?) I mean, I know there are some stupid people out there, but damn.

  22. Surely they could just make new games in the Forgotten Realms. Instead of BG3, NWN3, Icewind Dale 3 etc, why not Waterdeep? Luskan? Thay? Whatever, just name it after a city, set it in that area and BOOM. It will still be popular with DND fans and it won't annoy people like me for making a pointless sequel.

  24. Big fan of NWN1 and NWN2 here, I just play NWN2 with high res not so long ago (was a mess to find and install the patch though). tips to get high resolution on win10, you must windowed the game, change the res, restart, and play fullscreen, "et voilà"). NWN2 in high res is still good, very nice in fact, just still this horrible camera movement, except that it's fine. I play lot of classes again (best part of the game), and still there nothing better than a monk... anyway, I'm not so interested for an enhanced version, because I think the whole game must change in these case, not just graphics : the camera management, the combat system (always blocked by a door), the story is fine but looks unfinished too, and the alchemy is way too powerful. I think the better will be an NWN3 in fact, with more balanced classes, new skills, new area, new races, new content, new everything. Just crossing the fingers.

  25. How about Norwegians seeking asylum from them in other countries? https://visegradpost.com/en/2019/01/12/poland-land-of-asylum-for-norwegian-families/ I wouldn't call conviction by European Court of Human Rights as "doing fine".

  27. I had a medical bill come to a home I was visiting while on break between homes during a move, it wasn't even the address I forwarded to as my short term permanent address. It was the place I was visiting. That's how crazy location tracking is becoming. And the bill came only to that place, none of the other places that would have been on records so It's not like they shotgunned it to get hold of me.

  28. Soccer isn't my jam but I've seen variations of the same kind of argument in basketball. I've played against and occasionally beaten college and NBA players in pickup games when I was in high school but nobody was stupid enough to think we were actually better than them.
