        *runs faction farming for 2 hours* -- nm - JaxSean Nov 17, 08:40
- I have two but I can't use either since I use Mida. - Krusty Nov 17, 07:08 15
  - Mida is a good gun, but for PVE stuff, it is not the best. -- nm - groiny Nov 17, 07:22 1
    - (the aim assist of 100 is the highest on the big spreadsheet, so it's helpful to me.) -- nm - JaxSean Nov 17, 07:29
  - I'd suggest using Nameless Midnight for your kinetic for PvE activities. It pumps out the most damage due to explosive payload. -- nm - Shaun Nov 17, 07:10 12
    - I do this. I use Mida in Crucible, but Namless normally in the game. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 17, 07:22 10
      - I need to infuse my Nameless, it's only 267. -- nm - Krusty Nov 17, 07:29 9
        
        Origin Story and Nameless are 2 of the best non exotic kinetic guns for PVE -- nm - groiny Nov 17, 07:34 7
        
        Hmm. I think I just used a 300 Origin Story last night to bring up another rifle. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 17, 08:07 4
        
        Nope, still in my vault. I may have to use try it out. -- (pic) - JaxSean Nov 17, 08:12 [Attachment] 3
        
        in a group encounter, Origin Story damage stacks 3 times, so you kill a couple red enemies, and shift over to a yellow to get bonus damage. -- nm - groiny Nov 17, 08:21 2
        
        *takes out Destiny to English translator book* - JaxSean Nov 17, 08:23 1
        
        The enemies that have red health bars. -- nm - Shaun Nov 17, 08:26
        
        Yup, and if for some reason you feel inclined to use a hand cannon, Better Devils all the way. -- nm - Shaun Nov 17, 08:00 1
        
        you almost need a reload mod on to offset he sloth like reload time. -- nm - groiny Nov 17, 08:21
        
        It'e the only kinetic legendary (purple) I have at 305 on both characters. - JaxSean Nov 17, 07:30

  - Yup. -- nm - Mop Nov 17, 07:27
  - Although, when it faceplants in the last video, it's hilarious. -- nm - Inigo Nov 17, 06:58
I think I broke the paperclips. -- (edited) - znufrii Nov 17, 06:39 2

  - Ah well. It was a fun little diversion while it lasted. -- nm - znufrii Nov 17, 07:28
So, my post got LIR but I thought I'd let y'all know Donuts: Accomplished! -- (link) - con_carne Nov 17, 06:26 [Backboard] 3

  - I like being the donut/treat guy at work, and am usually disappointed when I have a chance to do it and miss it - con_carne Nov 17, 06:33 1
    - Nice! -- nm - znufrii Nov 17, 06:34

The price on the Tesla Roadster looks like it starts at $200k. - TWuG, neck model Nov 17, 05:44 15
- I'll take 2! -- nm - Mop Nov 17, 07:28
- Reading up on the truck, it's local only (no bunk) so don't expect to see a lot on the interstates. -- (edited) - spamlet Nov 17, 06:51 1
  - Depends more on the battery management system. If the usable capacity is enough less than the total capacity, then the battery can lose efficiency - TWuG, neck model Nov 17, 06:58
- The first thousand Roadsters will cost $250,000 up front, according to the Reuters article I’m reading. -- nm - znufrii Nov 17, 06:11 11
  - Yeah. It's up on the Tesla site now. Full price upfront for the first 1000 (Founder Series), 50k upfront for the regular $200k car. -- nm - TWuG, neck model Nov 17, 06:15 10
    - And the stock is up 4.5% pre-market. - znufrii Nov 17, 06:17 9
      - Oh, Tesla stock and Tesla reality are the two most divergent paths in the market in recent time. - Will Hunting Nov 17, 07:32 8
        
        It’s fascinating to watch, for sure. - znufrii Nov 17, 07:48 7
        
        Cash is getting more expensive to them. They got 6%? bonds last cash raise - Will Hunting Nov 17, 08:28
        
        Those last two things are the biggies. Tesla is an energy company (production, storage, use) and their big gamble right now is - TWuG, neck model Nov 17, 08:19 5
        
        In addition, Tesla only "loses" money in the way that Amazon "loses" money. It's all plowed into building capacity and infrastructure. - TWuG, neck model Nov 17, 08:31
        
        Are you truly arguing that their expectations of production improved solely on the basis of how many reservations they got? - Will Hunting Nov 17, 08:30 3
        
        They had no reason to guide earlier than 2020 before they opened reservations. 2020 was an expectation based on presumed demand. When they saw - TWuG, neck model Nov 17, 08:40 2
        
        And guided (lied) about the reality of that schedule in fiduciary documents. - Will Hunting Nov 17, 08:52 1
        
        Forward looking statements, blah blah blah. -- nm - znufrii Nov 17, 08:55

- "...many of you feel..." They're not saying they agree. -- nm - Mop Nov 17, 07:29
- Yeah, I'm kind of torn now. -- nm - volnelk Nov 17, 07:18
- "the ability to buy crystals will become available at a later date" - spamlet Nov 17, 05:56 4
  - They're also assuming they actually have people still playing the game in 6 months. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 17, 05:59 3
    - 1. They won't wait that long. 2. a lot of people still play the original. -- nm - spamlet Nov 17, 06:00 2
      - While that's probably true, the burn rate on most AAA titles is more than 90% over the first four months. - David Nov 17, 07:58
      - Huh. (that surprises me about the original) -- nm - Strongbad Nov 17, 06:39

  - what? we thought we fired him years ago. -- nm - HR Nov 17, 06:25 1
    - Fix the glitch. -- nm - Roger More Nov 17, 06:51
- "important action movie." Heh. Thanks, this seems like it's in my blog wheelhouse -- nm - con_carne Nov 17, 05:10
REB2: Skycam. I thought Twitter said it best. "It's like cheesesticks. Having a cheesestick now and then is great. Having ONLY cheesesticks isn't. -- (edited) - volnelk Nov 17, 04:59 1
