I just had the most American thing happen to me today. I was asked to tip while purchasing fireworks for the 4th of July.
Goddamn Dream Theater fucking rocks. Glad to see some love for them here on Lemmy.
I was so mad Biden whiffed his response on this. I wanted him to come out and be like "women are literally fleeing states that have abortion bans. Infant mortality rates in Texas are skyrocketing."
Instead he said something like "I met a woman who was killed by illegal immigrants." Wtf man...
Still voting blue, but come on.
My bot build is way different than yours, except for the primary and Airstrike, which are both godly.
Bots
Scorcher: All the reasons you said. It's just too good. Killing Striders from the front is a must.
Grenade pistol: Reserved solely for killing bot factories.
Stun grenade: Same reason that I run it on bugs. It wrecks Hulks and makes them sit still to snipe them. Also I can't count the number of times I've been saved on a hairy extract just by spamming stun grenades and diving on the Pelican.
Light armor with servo assist: Throwing stratagems like John Elway is the best. I used to run this on bugs too until I stopped bringing stratagems that needed the range, but I feel like it's still clutch on bots.
Eagle Airstrike: Same reason as you. God tier.
Quasar Cannon: Kills everything. Sniping drop ships in one shot is the best.
Shield backpack: Too many explosions on bots to run anything else. Also keeps the survivability high when running light armor.
Orbital Precision Strike: I'm still experimenting with this on bots. I also love Orbital Railstrike or Autocannon Sentry depending on how I'm feeling.
My bug build was pretty similar to yours, but with the addition of Behemoths, I've started experimenting more with Flamethrowers instead of EATs. Which cascades through the rest of the build.
Bugs
Incendiary Breaker: Same reason you mentioned. The Blitzer is really fun too and can one shot Brood Commanders. Its biggest drawback is not damaging Shriekers and eggs, so I only bring it to mix things up occasionally.
Grenade pistol: Sam reason you mentioned. Allows you to solo a heavy nest.
Stun grenade: Best get out of jail free card in the game. Also allows you to easily deal with Chargers and Behemoths.
Light armor with + grenades: Same reason you mentioned, but mostly due to the two extra stuns.
Orbital precision strike: Low cooldown, low call in time, one shots everything. What's not to love?
Eagle 500kg OR Autocannon Sentry: The single OPS isn't quite enough to handle all the Bile Titans on higher difficulties. Especially without bringing EATs. So I'll choose one of these to bring instead.
Shield pack: Same reasons you listed. Occasionally I'll bring a Rover instead because I like how it "alerts" me to something sneaking up on me that I didn't notice.
Flamethrower: Absolutely wrecks Behemoths and Chargers. Holding it down on a bug breach and hearing your character cackle is hands down the most satisfying thing in the game.
Lol last night before the debate started, I sent a message to my friends asking if it was too late to get Kyle Clark to moderate. The guy is amazing.
Applications of these systems have been plagued by persistent inaccuracies in their output; these are often called “AI hallucinations”. We argue that these falsehoods, and the overall activity of large language models, is better understood as bullshit in the sense explored by Frankfurt (On Bullshit, Princeton, 2005)
Now I kinda want to read On Bullshit
It's because Republicans are skewing the numbers. 84% of Democrats and 73% of Independents understand the Supreme Court is a joke.

We've still got a few years until the three seashells take over and Taco Bell wins the franchise wars.
Lol "well what do I know about shifting?"
Ford is recalling more than 550,000 pickup trucks in the U.S. because the transmissions can unexpectedly downshift to first gear no matter how fast the trucks are going.
Pretty sure Chipotle is owned by McDonalds.
It is not. McDonald's was an early investor but hasn't been for a long long time (almost 20 years now), but the idea has stuck around.
I have a friend who named his kids Brie and Colby. He never had a 3rd kid, so I always wondered what other cheese names were out there.
Haha I actually do the same thing whenever I bring a flamethrower. Couldn't decide whether to pick on the 500kg or the Orbital Railcannon.
Dry your filament!
I love in Colorado, which is a pretty dry state, so while I had heard of "wet filament", I never considered it to be a problem that I would have to worry about. I had seen people creating dry storage bins for their filament, but figured that must just be for people in humid climates.
When I first bought my 3D printer a few years ago, I did what most people probably do - I bought a 10 pack of different filament colors. Everything printed great for a while, but eventually, my prints just started to kind of suck. I made a few upgrades to my printer, but still couldn't pinpoint what was going on. What was frustrating, is that some times my prints would be great - but other times I couldn't even print the most simple prints without problems.
I eventually noticed that my great prints were from newer filament that I had recently purchased, but my bad prints were coming from spools I've had sitting out for a while. So I purchased a $40 filament dryer on Amazon and it instantly fixed all the problems I'd been having.
I feel dumb, because I had gone through three different extruders, new hot ends, new nozzles, tubing, and spent tons of time cleaning and tightening stuff on my printer. I had left my printer untouched for months because it was just so frustrating. Something as simple as old filament left out never occurred to me until much later.
TLDR; If your prints have started to suck after a while, you might want to try drying your filament.
