@Arperum @twobugs I've been running a full support monk build today for couple of rifts with wife and it's insane how easy 50+ grifts are

we did a grift 56 with my wife and I, a friend who was just leeching and a fairly strong wizzy and we finished it in 10 minutes with no one dying (except the guy leeching, ofc)

Is that the support build from Diablofans? I saw that one and it looked like fun

A: How to read in bed without upsetting my wife?

Use a headlamp. Many headlamps come with dim light and red light settings, which you can use to make the light less bothersome for your wife. [Note: I am not recommending this specific product, just using this one as an example.]

Yeah. That headlamp won't wake your wife up.

A: How to read in bed without upsetting my wife?

All the suggestions here are about reading with some kind of light source. But what if you relaxed before bed with audio instead? Audiobooks and/or podcasts can provide the same content. I find them even more relaxing, since you don't actually have to look at or hold anything while consuming them.

Wait a minute, that isn't as bad as I initially read it

Milanesa

The milanesa (in Italian "cotoletta alla milanese") is an Italian dish named after the city of Milano, common in Latin American countries where generic types of breaded meat fillet preparations are known as a milanesa. The milanesa was brought to the Southern Cone of South America by Italian immigrants during the mass emigration called the Italian diaspora between 1860-1920s. Its name probably reflecting an original Milanese preparation cotoletta alla milanese, which is similar to the Austrian Wiener Schnitzel. A milanesa consists of a thin slice of beef, chicken, veal, or sometimes pork, and even...

> If you can make yourself the center of attention — and no candidate in modern memory has been more skilled at that than Trump — you can potentially turn the polls into a referendum on your candidacy. It’s possible that many GOP voters are thinking about the race in just that way now. First, they ask themselves whether they would vote for Trump; if not, they then choose among the 16 other candidates.

> The neat thing about this is that you can overwhelmingly lose the majority in the referendum — 75 percent of Republicans are not voting for Trump — and yet still hold the plurality so long as the “no” vote is divided among a sufficient number of alternatives.
