I have active prescriptions for branded and even have 2 boxes in my fridge and due to refill one this week and I’m just tempted to say it screw it and stick with compounded because it’s less stressful, less driving (only pharmacies getting Zepbound consistently are an hour away) and $150 cheaper a month for me since i pay $550 with savings card.
It’s weird because i had amazing success my first two months starting on compound locally. Got the branded and went with that now, and I’m ready to just go back to compounded. Did a month of red rock as an extra supplement in case of shortage.
I’m also finding it weird I’m hesitating to just go all in with compounded. I know it works and is the same product yet the Zepbound Reddit and FB groups have like tainted my mind making me question it. I swear i need to rip the bandaid off it’s way more peaceful in compound land and folks are losing weight and just happy. (But according to folks on here we are injecting water apparently lol)

Just as the title says! I’m looking at a 2024 Ford Bronco! It’s 2-door, a stick shift, has the 2.3 Eco engine, and we’ve got a deal with the dealership to put a tow and bigger wheels on it. We’re trading my Hyundai for it (it’s an automatic).
I’ve never had a Ford as a daily. My huge complaints are the rev matching (silly question: is there a way to turn it off?) and I’m not in love with the push-button ignition.
Other than that, it’s a really cool car! However, I’m wondering if there’s anything I should know as a first time owner? 🤔

I currently have a 5 bed/3.5 bath three story house.
The third story is half unfinished attic, half bedroom with detached full bath. A sort of small pseudo-suite. My spouse works from home and currently uses it as a home office and work suite.
The second floor has the mastemain bedroom and mastemain full bath, two reasonably sized bedrooms with a Jack and Jill full bath, and a small bedroom not attached to anything. It’s got a tiny closet that’s barely usable. It was staged as a nursery when we bought it, because it’s mostly just big enough for a crib and rocking chair. I’m currently using it as an exercise room with my bike and a yoga mat.
The first floor has the kitchen with a small attached walk through laundry-ish room. It opens on to our back porch, but it’s barely a room. It’s basically a hallway with closet doors that are too small for the washer and dryer to fit in properly, so they just kind of stick out awkwardly as you walk past to get to the porch and back yard.
The kitchen was last updated in the 1990s. I would like to remodel it. I would like to take down the adjoining wall to the laundry space to open it up and have the kitchen open out to the back porch. It would let in more light and give us more kitchen space. But then my options for laundry would be to have it in the kitchen behind closet doors with no good place to actually store laundry… or to turn that tiny bedroom into a second floor laundry room.
From a value perspective would it make more sense to
1) Call the house a 4 bed/3.5 bath with a second floor laundry room 2) Keep the 5th bedroom, leave the laundry where it’s at / maybe make that hall a bit more functional, and renovate the kitchen at the size it is or 3. Keep the 5th bedroom, tear out the laundry/kitchen wall and incorporate a pantry/closet type area to hide the laundry in the kitchen
From a structural perspective, tearing out that wall is feasible. We had a structural engineer evaluate, and it’s non-load bearing with the major structural beam running perpendicular. Additionally, that small bedroom shares a wall with the master bath, and the third floor hot water heater is directly above it. So running the plumbing lines wouldn’t be too terribly difficult. It’s also got an exterior wall that could easily vent the dryer.
So all the above options are possibilities. I just need to decide what I want. I fear losing the laundry space all together (option 3) is the worst of them, because a non-dedicated laundry space that’s shared with the kitchen feels not ideal.
I don’t ever plan on having more than two kids… so I don’t feel like I personally need a 5th bedroom, and a laundry room would be more useful to me there. But my spouse raises the very valid concern that with two kids, if we continue to keep one bedroom as an office, we really have no good guest bedrooms.
In terms of value when we go to sell (some day, not soon), what would generally be considered better - a larger kitchen with a dedicated second floor laundry room and 4 bedrooms? Or a smaller kitchen with a somewhat awkward first floor laundry hall, and 5 bedrooms?

My bike was just stolen from the dorms by the Fargo dome. I had a kryptonite U lock on it but that still didn't stop em.
It was a Schwinn Taff Mountain Bike with 29-inch wheels, a seat lock, and water bottle holder. There was some faint orange spray paint marks on the tires. The front wheel is wiggly and the chain slips for more identifying features.
If you see it for sale or in the classifieds please let me know.

hi. i’m not as well versed in pc knowledge as id like to be so apologies upfront. i recently built a pc with the help of my boyfriend and friends, and i’m loving it. however, it is loud. it is not extremely loud, but after spending 2k on this build it’s a little too loud for my liking.
After playing around with the fans we decided that the culprit is the fans of my aio. Now, i’m not sure what to do going forward. My boyfriend is saying that it’s because my cpu runs very hot, so i should skip water cooling and switch to air cooling. I’m not opposed but i’d really like to stay with water cooling if possible, i really love the way it looks.
I, on the other hand, believe that it simply is just not the greatest aio, and if i replace it with an NZXT Kraken for a bit more money it would solve my problem.
This is why I am making this post, because I am not sure if i should listen to my boyfriend who knows more about pc’s than i, or if i should stick with my gut and stay with water cooling. what do yall think? any advice or tips would be well appreciated!
here are my specs: cpu: amd 7 7700x ram: teamgroup t-force delta 32gb ddr5-6000 gpu: geforce rtx 4070 motherboard: b650 aorus elite ax ice amd am5 atx cooler: lian li galahad II trinity 240 mm case: nzxt h6 flow atx mid-tower psu: corsair rm750 750 watt 80 plus gold fully modular ssd: inland tn470 2tb ssd + lian li UNI fan SL infinity fluid dynamic

About a week ago I planted about 20 strawberry root thingies that had been dormant in a root cellar in a tiered potting system. When they were first planted I gave them a healthy first watering and they have starting sprouting leaves! since then it has rained and SNOWED :( and I watered them again yesterday. Today, the top of the soil looks dry and if I stick my finger it it feels damp-ish. I am wondering how often to water from now on? PS I like in a a very sunny and dry climate that is almost always in a drought.

Looking at this seel frame kit, includes everything with the framing. Also includes plans with HVAC and electric, so I don't need an architect or engineer. Total about $18k delivered with stamped plans. https://www.steelpaneltruss.com/modelbella
I've considered OSB for sheathing, but I live in a damp, flood prone area. So we'd build a foundation with a stem wall to lift the floor of the home above any worries. Pressure treated plywood isn't that much more than OSB and I'd have no worries with leaks or water intrusion swelling the OSB and would plan to go with that.
My wife loves the look of HardiPlank, so that's exterior. I've built a few stick builds but overall, tired of dealing with wood. I'm thinking I can put this together myself.
One of the things I'm wondering is whether I'd use rigid foam on the exterior. That would prevent bridging through the metal studs. Or is it just better to accept that and insulate between studs on the interior wall?
What do you guys think of this kit? Any and all advice is welcome.

These are things that collected over time that i would like to eventually see, in no particular order.
Lvl 85 / 300ish hours in.
1) emote wheel (with even more emotes)
2) missions for more than 4 players
3) stack of c4 stratagem. 4x on deployment.
If you have none to place- you hold the trigger. Sticks to surfaces and enemies.
4) infiltration objective. Where it's an underground bunker with a sealed door and you need to break in and destroy valuable data inside / kill VIP without orbital help (cause underground)
5) A delivery mission where squad has to deliver the flag (tutorial one) on a vehicle (ideally) into an area outside of destroyer control, place beacons for destroyer that map out the area and then- come back. (Like a setup for the missions we are doing) should kind of feel like old school halo capture the flag
6) random primary weapons to be in the mix on the map to pick up and try out, including warbond ones.
7) ability to drop EVERYTHING. Once had a bug in a helldive where my character dropped without any gear. Was very hectic 4 minutes but very fun where i ran around just with stratagems looking for a dead body to get some guns. (Character worked fine empty handed otherwise. Melee didnt work i guess it used pistol animation)
8) thermal/night vision but i heard theres plans for helmets in the works
9) weapon attachments silencemuzzle break/sights variations/stock (where applicable and i guess tied to weapon use or something) which would modify weapon slightly and nerf it elsewhere depending on attachment for a net neutral change.
10) more voicelines. To be exact- more voicelines representing things we mark. As new things get added and they have names. Marking targets can be wonky when character doesnt call the thing correctly.
Notorious lines/variations of lines missing:
"Need assistance"
"Bunker located" - triggered by marking either of the buttons
"Stalkers spotted" - last noticed marked stalker even if they are about to stealth. Just keep the marker there longer even after it's gone.
"(Factory) strider incoming" - marked strider
Idle chatter when someone spaces out or has to wait a while. This could be a comedy gold mine. Especially if it's a few players together.
*"Wonder how mom is doing?"
1- Do you ever wonder why we're here?
2- Is that Treason I'm hearing?
1- Uh... no... nevermind
11) animations for certain commonly used military commands/comms and certain useful comms missing.
1- wait
2- on my mark/countdown
3- go
12) creatures museum. Where you need to complete the entries on each unique enemy type (maybe you can find some maybe you can spend samples/sc on some rare ones)
13) shooting range / room that can simulate specific enemies based on completed museum entries
14) let me run on my destroyer... with a tradeoff. Let there be an rng leak with a wet floor sign and turn on ragdoll if we run on it.
15) destroyer upgrade: "patriotism pad".
A little table on the little balcony of the destroyer with a square foot of premium super earth Grass (totally not astro turf)
With a prompt "press e to feel inspired" and you proceed to touch grass. Not like you'd know with those gloves on... or what actual grass is supposed to feel like. Has no effect. Can support up to 4 helldivers touching grass.
Costs "whatever the current sample cap is"
Thanks if you read it all, I guess.
I just think some of this could be fun if done right.

I've been a long time Deathadder fan, since I have big hands and it's been the best shape for large hands and palm grip, period. The Elite/V2 were almost perfect in shape/weight (only minor issue which I had was the inability to save the RGB on mouse profiles which is something really unacceptable to me as an embedded engineer - it's definitely possible and easy to do). I've recently tried the Deathadder V3 and I'm very disappointed.
First it's too light, which can also be an issue when trying to properly control the mouse (it's meant to be a large hand mouse so you have more force at your disposal anyway). The shape change is really bad, it looks and feels generic, like a Razer variant of an EC1. It's almost like every manufacturer has their own version similar to this. I don't really like the Apple-esque less is more philosophy (no scroll buttons and no RGB - they literally had a DA Chroma named after the RGB for crying out loud). I don't like the separated mouse clicks - it looks ugly and it creates a gap for grime while the feeling almost same.
In the end I think that Deathadder V3 looks very similar to the Cobra and the Viper, it's like they made three generic mice instead of sticking to their old, tried and tested classic shape. I don't understand why variety is a bad thing - why does each mouse have to be similar to the other model. So, what can Razer do to improve the shape of the old Deathadder which will make them a decent profit? Just literally release a wired classic version (speedflex cable is excellent) of the Deathadder with an illuminated metal scroll wheel (similar to what the G502 has), where you can save the RGB on each memory profile and convert one DPI button to allow the mouse wheel to spin freely (like the basilisk has). Maybe add a mouse resistance wheel at the bottom of the mouse (similar to what the basilisk has/had). Remove the rubber sides and instead try to mold/shape the plastic for better grip. That's my vision of the Ultimate Deathadder.

Hello! I'm changing my age, parents location and half brothers location and name to protect my identity! When I was 13 my dad and step mom had a child of their own... for years I have over looked the favoritism to the point over the past 6 years I have noticed it more and more and am finally seeing things the same way my other 2 biological siblings have always seen it. My half brother joined the military straight out of high school and I couldn't be more proud of his service... however... my dad n step mom have made trips from where they live 20 hours from us to the state right next to us which is a 6 hour drive to where My half brother was stationed for Thanksgiving, Christmas, his birthday, random weekends... they have been to my home state 4x in the past 6 years.... we got 1 hour with them each visit and one visit they didn't even tell us they were here, we only found out bc Lil bro posted pics of them at a state football game.... we have made trips to visit them in the state they live in where before hand we made all these plans to do things together just for them to let my kids (10 and 15) down by suddenly deciding they don't want to do anything or go anywhere... yet they have all this time and energy to visit my Lil bro, go on Hikes, 4 wheeling and other things when my brother visits them... They were just here in March, we got an entire hour and told that our visit to see them at the end of summer might not get to happen WHY??? Bc they have to go to a ceremony for Lil bro the same time we planned on going there... no we can't change our vacation plans bc my husband has put in his time already and our high schooler doesn't like missing... we made these plans in January! I love my dad, I have always considered myself a daddy's girl. Had a great relationship with my step mom for years but I'm tired of feeling like we are not important to them and always getting the short end of the stick bc they had another child together... I know this is common 3rd world problems.... but I needed to let it out! I've tried talking to them about my feelings but it gets me absolutely no where! If you have read this far thank you. I'm not looking for advice or sympathy... just a place to let it out!

Hey there, fellow onebaggers!
Exciting news—I'm heading back to Asia next month after a 10-month journey around the continent. This time, I'll be settling down in some places, starting with Thailand.
I'll be sticking with my trusty Osprey Farpoint 40L backpack, packing mostly the same gear as before but with a few tweaks and less stuff.
For clothing, I'm planning on bringing 2 swimshorts, 2 regular shorts, and maybe one or two pairs of sport shorts. In my quest for the ultimate travel clothes, I stumbled upon the Dry Stretch Easy Shorts from Uniqlo. They seem to tick all the boxes: quick-drying, lightweight, and stylish. Anyone here have firsthand experience with them?
Now, onto footwear. Initially, I thought I'd stick with my previous shoe setup: Tropicfeel Canyon for rainy days and water activities, Vans Ultrarange for urban exploration and sports, and a trusty pair of flip flops. But lately, I've been considering just bringing my beloved Vans Old Skool for city jaunts (I can't get enough of those shoes!), a pair of flip flops and my Birkenstok. Any thoughts on this footwear switcheroo?

I have only ever really fished for trout in rivers. But this June we're doing 6 days in the boundary waters. What kind of set-up would you want for fishing there? a 7 wt with floating line for bass? Would a sink tip line be better? Could I make a 5wt or old glass 6wt work?
How hard is it to fish for walleye? Should I stick with bass? How do I even catch these weird fish?
Any tips or advice really appreciated!

Last year I got way into Ayn Rand. Started with Fountainhead (because of bio shock and cumtown lol), loved it. Read a few more of her books like the New Left, and Virtue of selfishness AND then Atlas shrugged. Atlas Shrugged lost me. I stopped at around 900 pages. The writing and story just wasn't compelling but I still liked a few of the concepts.
Anyways, Im curious what others think of her stance in technology and industrialization with todays perspective. From what I gather, she hates the hysterical hivemind. How nothing seems to get done when everyone's playing a game of telephone, differing every problem to the next grunt who's just as clueless to a solution as the last. She loathes altruism/virtue and sees it as a manipulation tactic to create weak spineless pander goblins who only feel redemption from the approval of others (or god). And while these don't directly correlate to technology, I feel that modern technology awards hysteria, groupthink and performative virtue. (Kind of social medias only function these days, if you ask me)
I remember a part at the beginning of Atlas Shrugged where she writes about how if peoples microwaves were taken away (in hopes to save the environment) they would probably start a riot. Everyone can preach their good intentions but the second convenience is threatened it becomes a personal attack on life itself.
From what I gather, she has a catch all attitude about technology. Yes, some of it will be bad but the progression of humanity should be pursued at nearly any cost. MAN VS THE WORLD. However technological advancement today seems less about discovering or dominating the world and more about creating a new one, via the internet, VR or even iPads in cars. I guess thats all very new and ultimately Lindy will see what sticks, but if this is the progression- it will be MAN VS THE WORLD MAN CREATED.
I have trouble seeing what todays technological advancement is leading to, other than infantilized obese Disney adults who have no self discipline. They're probably gonna have to rebrand the WHEEL CHAIR as some new luxury time saving go cart because of the gout and oil flowing through the average Americans clogged arteries. If money talks, it seems like (from observation) most of what the average person spends their money on is: digital entertainment, horrible oil infused foods and weed/booze.
Bit of a ramble but im interested if you have thought about her writings of technological and scientific advancement in todays terms where you can literally make money by being an "Influencer". Do you think she would still stand her views of technology?

I work in a photography studio. We used to use turtle wax for this. It would make beautiful round beads of water and there was enough surface tension for them to stick to the glass. At some point, many years ago, they changed the formula and now the water just runs right off of the glass. This seems to be the case with all modern car waxes these days.
I've tried old school carnuba wax, but the roundness of the drops isn't there with it. I was just wondering if any chemists out there would know of a product, or something I can whip up, that would replicate what the old turtle wax did. Thanks in advance.

Hi all! I had originally posted all of this in the “Monthly Things to Do Thread” but it never got any hits or traction so I thought I ought to post it again in its own thread. Thanks ahead of time for the help!
Looking for a comprehensive list to prepare my wife and me for our week-long trip next month. I see I can find a good amount of food recommendations in the link above so I'll try to stick to other things. Here are the things I am looking for!

1. ⁠Best Distillery Tour and Tasting - I've seen there are 3-4 distilleries in the Wilmington area. Which ones offer the best tour and the best selection for a tasting? We would probably go on 1-2 tours. Any of them a waste of time?
   
2. ⁠Best Breweries - What are the top 3-5 best breweries in town? We are staying in the historic district so locations around there are preferred but of course, we will get outside of there to check out others as well. My wife is more into ciders and fruit beers so breweries that include at least 1-2 of those are preferred! Which ones also have great food? Do any of them do tours?
   
3. ⁠Live Music - Are there any areas or venues that have live music regularly?
   
4. ⁠Best Shopping Areas? - Are there any markets or good strips of small vendor storefronts that we should check out? Local crafts, foods, beverages, clothes, even touristy gear? Any boardwalks?
   
5. ⁠Best Learning-Based Attractions - Museums, memorials, battlefield-related locations, etc.
   
6. ⁠Best Nature Areas - What are the best locations to enjoy nature? Such as gardens, parks, etc.
   
7. ⁠Amusement - Is there anywhere to go to nearby to Wilmington for amusement park-like activities? Water parks?
   
8. ⁠Best Spots for the Beach - I've seen here that beach access is a pain because of parking costs, but as we bite the bullet what will be the best locations that avoid the worst crowds/lowest quality beaches?
   
9. ⁠Best Dessert Spots - Best local ice cream shops and other local dessert spots?
   
10. ⁠Best Bars - Obviously there are many bars in and around the historic district but which are the ones that we absolutely have to check out? And let me know what kind of price level/vibe each is if you don't mind. I am more of a chill or live music bar kind of person, but my wife definitely enjoys dance bars so we will go to somee club-style bars as well.
    
11. ⁠Golf - What are the best affordable golf courses nearby? Under $45 preferably if they exist.
    
12. ⁠Events - Are there any events or festivals going on the week of June 9th-16th?
    
13. ⁠Anything Else - Let me know if you have any other recommendations!
    

Thanks all!

I'm using the Logitech X56 HOTAS stick and throttle, and they are connected via a powered usb hub. Occasionally, usually while banking left or holding the stick to the left to fight wind, the camera view switches from the cockpit view to the external view. What's especially weird about this ghost input is that the default input to switch between internal and external view doesn't work.
Another issue I'm having, and this might be related to the autopilot feature in newer aircraft, but the trim is mapped to a dial on the throttle, and it doesn't seem to function correctly. I twist it to trim the nose down and it jumps up before going down far too much, and then i simply start climbing again. Beyond that, I would much prefer to map the trim to a 4 way directional toggle on the stick. (The same place the trim is set on the F-15E if that helps you know where I'm talking about.) I'd also like to move flaps over to a switch instead of the wheel on the throttle it's default set to, but when I attempt to reassign these inputs to the prefered controls, the game tells me these are not recommended controls for these inputs and yeah, they don't seem to work right. For example, the trim requires I hold the directional toggle up or down permanently isn't of registering as a degree of input like flaps.
Help?

According to the journal of economic history the nazis thought that enterprise should be private whenever possible and privatized several banks, railways, shipyards and even part of the welfare state at the time. Things taken over by the state were what the gov deemed necessary for the war effort; vague but very normal for wartime governments of any era. Hitler himself described the nazis as socialist not in the sense of a system for and by workers against the owning class (socialism as its known in a broad sense) but a socialism for and by traditional germanic values (basically authoritarian conservatism). He also actively distanced himself from socialist movements across the world at the time. Not to mention getting endorsed by very anti union, antisemitic business owners like Ford and Hearst.
Question being why do so many libertarians think that the nazis were socialist? My first thought is ignorance of socialism’s actual ideals; the socialism is when gov does stuff meme? Part of me wonders if it’s something brought up purely in bad faith even. Like socialism has plenty of problems and sticking points based on what it actually is/has been, why muddy the waters with something that it isn’t?
Im not saying they were libertarians if that isn’t obvious btw lol

I was driving (slowly) in steady traffic, approaching a green light that was decently backed up. Since the light was green and we were moving, I continued even though there was a parked car with its wheels angled out to come into the lane and there was no long break or space between cars for them to easily get themselves into the lane (esp since it wasn’t a red light). We both continued to drive and I had to dodge/serve left her and brake bc she straight up started pulling out of her spot. We ended up awkwardly both angled and I was jutting into the left lane now (driving in the same direction as me) so they had to dodge me. We did the little dance where we both started to go multiple times. I was being petty and was gonna go around her bc she should not have pulled out of her spot then, but I guess I should have also just let her weasel out since she was sticking out.
Driving anxiety used to be a huge problem for me and I’ve gotten better, but these little moments being it all back . 😪

I wanted to make the ultimate BG3 skill monkey, and this post is the best I’ve been able to come up with so far. I’m looking for feedback and any ideas I’ve overlooked.
[I try not to spoil anything with this post, but you may be able to infer some things from the names of abilities or items I mention, so proceed at your own risk, I guess]
This build gets proficiency in every single skill, expertise in 13 skills, and ends the game at 19 STR, 20 DEX, 8 CON (lol), 17 INT, 18 WIS, and 20 CHA, and can do it all while being a useful support character in combat (you’re going to want someone else in the party to be your carry). In addition, they can buff their own skill checks with Guidance or Enhance Ability, and get 1d10 Bardic Inspiration and/or Guidance or Enhance Ability from a party member. With this character, the vast majority of your consequential skill checks will be made at advantage with a +12 flat bonus and at least 2d4 added on top of that.
I make a few choices that may seem suboptimal at first glance, but I actually think are optimal because I value expertise very highly (this is basically an exercise in seeing how many skills I can get expertise in at once), but don’t value Reliable Talent as much. Scroll to the bottom of this post for my treatise on why Reliable Talent isn’t as good as Expertise in BG3.
If you prefer Reliable Talent, then a Githyanki Rogue 11/Cleric 1 will be a great skill monkey. But I posit herein that it will not be The Ultimate Skill Monkey. The Ultimate Skill Monkey would have Proficiency in every skill and Expertise in every skill possible, and only miss it on the least consequential skills.
How do I do it? With Knowledge Rogue 6, Bard 4, Cleric 2.

Ability Scores

Start 8, 16, 12, 8, 14, 16. As you get certain items, buffs, and feats you’ll respec to slowly dump that CON into other key stats. At the endgame you could use the CON necklace at the expense of your WIS.

Leveling Steps:

Level 1:

• Race: Rock Gnome (History proficiency and expertise). Don’t want to play a gnome? Well guess what, you’re going to be disguised 90% of the time anyway!
• Background: Urchin (Sleight of Hand and Stealth proficiency) [note: we pick this to avoid backgrounds that give WIS skills that would overlap with Knowledge of the Ages, and CHA skills that overlap with Illithid Expertise or the Actor feat]
• Rogue 1 (Perception, Deception, Insight, and Persuasion proficiency, Persuasion and Sleight of Hand expertise - these are my preferences for perceived value, but with proficiency with all WIS skills only 2 levels away, consider, say Intimidation and Acrobatics or some other combination instead of Perception and Insight to maximize your proficiency spread)

Proficiencies: Stealth, Perception, Deception, Insight
Expertises: History, Sleight of Hand, Persuasion
Level 2:
Class: Knowledge Cleric (Arcana and Religion proficiency and expertise, Guidance)
Proficiencies: Stealth, Insight, Perception, Deception
Expertises: History, Arcana, Religion, Sleight of Hand, Persuasion
Level 3:
Cleric 2: Knowledge of the Ages WIS (Animal Handling, Medicine, and Survival Proficiency)
You can use tricks to get the Shapeshifter’s Boon ring this early without risking the cow or Dammon in future acts (attack the cow with mage hand, then offer to bribe it to apologize, which opens up the trade window where you can buy the ring). I’d also recommend you get the Whispering Promise ring off Volo and start applying it with this character to buff your carry. You can also pick up the Warped Headband of Intellect, which amounts to a +4 to all INT-based skill checks for the rest of your career.
Proficiencies: Stealth, Insight, Perception, Deception, Animal Handling, Medicine, Survival
Expertises: History, Arcana, Religion, Sleight of Hand, Persuasion
Level 4:
Bard 1
Level 5:
Bard 2
Around now is when most people can get Hag’s Hair. With Hag’s Hair you can respec to re-optimize your key Ability Scores and eventually get DEX to 20, but if you want to save HH for your carry, you can also skip Khalid’s gift and just make your +2 WIS ASI into a +1DEX +1 WIS and accept the 1 point loss on WIS-based skill checks in the final build.
Level 6:
Lore Bard 3 (Acrobatics, Investigation, and Nature proficiency, and Insight and Perception Expertise, and you can now cast Enhance Ability)
If you haven’t already, go get The Graceful Cloth from Esther and put it on, for permanent +1 to your DEX skill checks and permanent advantage on them as well, for the rest of the game! You can also get the Club of Hill Giant Strength and Titanstring Bow now, which will simultaneously boost your Athletics checks by 5 and allow you to do competent attack damage when you’re done buffing your carries.
Proficiencies: Stealth, Deception, Animal Handling, Medicine, Survival, Acrobatics, Investigation, Nature
Expertises: History, Arcana, Religion, Sleight of Hand, Persuasion, Perception, Insight (bold means it just came off the proficiencies list because expertise got added)
Level 7:
Bard 4: feat: Actor (+1 CHA, Performance and Deception proficiency and expertise)
Respec to accommodate the +1 CHA and to replace Deception at Rogue 1 with Athletics
Proficiencies: Stealth, Animal Handling, Medicine, Survival, Acrobatics, Investigation, Nature, Athletics
Expertises: History, Arcana, Religion, Sleight of Hand, Persuasion, Perception, Insight, Deception, Performance
Level 8:
Rogue 2
Around now you’re getting into Act 3. Choose to become ugly so you get proficiency and expertise in Persuasion, Deception, and Intimidation, allowing you to respec out of those skills in your build (picking up redundant Medicine proficiency at Cleric 1 and Investigation expertise at Bard 3).
Proficiencies: Stealth, Animal Handling, Medicine, Survival, Acrobatics, Nature, Athletics
Expertises: History, Arcana, Religion, Sleight of Hand, Persuasion, Perception, Insight, Deception, Performance, Intimidation, Investigation
Level 9:
Rogue 3 (subclass doesn't matter to me, pick your favorite)
Around now you can get Khalid’s Gift, an amulet that can increase your WIS by 1. It’s not required, but if you want to really max your skil checks, it does allow you to break past another WIS threshold without giving up another important skill check ability score.
Level 10:
Rogue 4 (feat: +2 WIS, or stats of your choice)
Somewhere around now you’ll be ready to access The Mirror of Loss, which, with a little planning/respecccing/save scumming can get you +1 CHA and +2 to another stat. If you don’t/can’t scum or don’t want to put in the effort, you can adjust your ability scores down accordingly.
Level 11:
Rogue 5
Level 12:
Rogue 6 (Stealth and Acrobatics Expertise)
Proficiencies: Animal Handling, Medicine, Survival, Nature, Athletics (final count: 5)
Expertises: History, Arcana, Religion, Sleight of Hand, Persuasion, Perception, Insight, Deception, Performance, Intimidation, Investigation, Stealth, Acrobatics (final count: 13)

Gear:

Almost all of the gear is available in Act 1!

• Warped Headband of Intellect
• The Graceful Cloth (Esther)
• Shapeshifter’s Boon
• Whispering Promise
• Club of Hill Giant Strength
• Titanstring Bow
• Khalid’s Gift

Combat Strategy

There are a lot of options here, but I think the optimal thing is probably to either pre-cast or use your first action to cast Bless on 3 party members. Then on future turns use your BA to apply a weapon oil that will buff the fire damage from your Cleric, then use an Arrow of Many Targets to apply it (in less consequential fights you can conserve resources with a different weapon coating and cheaper trick arrow).
At any point in the fight, use Healing Word or just throw potions at people to apply Bless to the 4th party member with Whispering Promise, or to apply Bless to anyone without actually casting it.
Titanstring counting multiple times on trick arrows, plus sneak attack, and enemies will actually notice that you’re hitting them. And, more importantly, you're providing buffs that are relevant in combat throughout the game.

Party Comp:

Member 2: Monk
You may have noticed that while this Ultimate Skill Monkey covers an extraordinary range of skills and is competent in all of them, there are two skills I didn’t get expertise in that, from time to time, there will be pretty important checks you’ll want to pass, and often they’ll be passive: Athletics and Survival. You also need a strong carry to compensate for your relative combat weakness. Enter the overpowered Tavern Brawler Open Hand Monk/Thief.
Karlach and Wyll both start with Survival proficiency from their backgrounds and Athletics is a Rogue skill, allowing you to spend your 2x Expertise at Rogue 1 on Athletics and Survival.
Then use STR elixirs so you can pump WIS (which you’ll want to do by Act 3 anyway due to Boots of Uninhibited Kushigo), and now you’ve got someone who will spot every buried treasure and can turn valve wheels like a pro. Oh, and also does inconceivably devastating single-target damage.
Member 3: Bard
No skill monkey is complete without a separate bard to give them Bardic Inspiration. I prefer the 10/1/1 Swords Archer, but 10/2 SSB would be great too. Either one can do carry-level damage while abusing Band of the Mystic Scoundrel and Helm of Arcane Acuity to single-handedly trivialize any combat encounter. Can also cast Enhance Ability on you.
Member 4: Cleric
The only thing the team’s lacking is AoE damage, and someone to dump all the remaining caster, radorb, and reverb gear onto. Light Cleric 11/Storm Sorcerer 1 is my favorite option here, with Spirit Guardians applying gobs of debuffs, supplemented by fire spells that are buffed by oil your skill monkey can apply with their bow. I like the side benefits of Warding Flair, Aid, and other Cleric goodies here, but you could totally throw in a Sorcerer here, or swap to a lightning or ice variant with your skill monkey throwing water bottles on enemies as setup.
Thus ends the meat of the guide, thanks for reading and I’m looking forward to your feedback!
My Tiresome Treatise on Reliable Talent vs. Expertise in BG3
Reliable Talent is very good in a vacuum, but its value goes down substantially in the BG3 environment compared to tabletop.

• Inspiration exists: if you happen to get a low roll, you can use inspiration. Meanwhile, there’s no mechanic that allows you to pump up your maximum skill check that you aren’t already using (Guidance, SSB, BI).
• Enhance Ability: you can pretty much always have this up, and use it during dialogue. Advantage greatly diminishes the odds of a bad roll
• Similarly, you can add Guidance and Bardic Inspiration at will
• Also similarly, the more dice you roll, the less likely you are to get all 1s, and in BG3 you can add Guidance and Shapshifter’s Boon to every roll, plus potentially BI.
• Reliable Talent has a very high opportunity cost in BG3: compared to my build, to get Rogue 11, you have to give up 4 skill proficiencies and 3x expertise, as well as the ability to cast Enhance Ability yourself (or Disguise Self without having to swap your hat in and out): without Knowledge Cleric 2 you have to drop Rock Gnome for Githyanki, and you can’t take Bard 3. And that’s before considering actual combat utility of the builds.
• 55% of the time (at least) it does literally nothing. If you have advantage, which you will have most of the time, the odds of it doing anything at all dwindle to 20%. When it does do something, it will add +5 to a roll on average…which is just 1 more than expertise is guaranteed to add to every roll over proficiency alone. In practice, it’s better than expertise about 11% of the time.
  • Granted, those are the times you need it most, and when it’s at its best, it’s adding a whopping +9 to your roll.
  • But how often is it actually going to turn a failure into a success when expertise wouldn’t? If with proficiency you’re adding +8+2d4 to most skill checks, you still beat a DC10. If going for a DC 20, with expertise and 1s on the extra dice (6.25% chance), you’d have to roll below 6 twice (advantage) to fail, which is 9%. You have a 0.6% chance of that happening, and if did happen to you, it might be in another scenario where it didn’t end up mattering! But if you rolled average on the d4s, you’d have to hit below 3 twice (2.25% chance) . In that extremely unlikely event, use an Inspiration point. To put it in plain language: you have something like a 1/50 chance that RT will give you a success when Expertise would not on a DC20 check.
  • But what if the DC is very high? In that case, Expertise can cause success where RT would fail any time where a 10 on the die is still 1-4 short. If you’re only adding 13 on average to your roll, then you’d need a 17 to pass a DC30, while expertise brings that down to 13. With advantage you have a 36% chance to break 17, but a 51% chance to break 13. Forgive my napkin math, but that’s like 40% better odds, vs. the 11% chance RT will even be better than expertise, let alone the

To put it in plain language: in BG3, when the choice is between Expertise and Reliable Talent, Expertise is equal on DC10 checks and better on DC30 checks. On DC20s, you have something like a 1/50 chance that RT would save you when expertise would not. Do you think you can have an inspiration on hand for 1/50 of your consequential rolls?
[edit 1: in response to comment, rearranged first two levels to start Rogue instead of Cleric because I was mistaken about how many skills you get when multiclassing into Rogue.]
