I understand that, due to the way auto-deploy works, it will sometimes fail
Main Post:
What I DON'T understand is how it seems to only ever fail when I'm not actively watching it!
I beat a map. Watched the auto-deploy. Worked fine. Ran it again, worked fine. Ran it again and looked away. FAIL! Ran it again to see what happened, worked fine. Ran it again and walked away to make supper. FAIL! Now running it again and it works fine!

If it fails try alter it, maybe using a skill or deploying extra help where you think one might have slipped through
CA please don't change how mass works due to the complaints, just tune down mass for smaller large units like warhounds. Huge monsters like Stonehorns or Ogres should retain their ability to run through braced lines because they are, you know, literally Ogres (that have Ogre Charge!).
Main Post:
I've seen a lot of complaints in this subreddit about units running through spear lines and whatnot. I agree it is pretty silly when warhounds can do that, but please don't forget that there are races whose whole thing is to run through formations. Stonehorns and Ogre artillery have impact damage, and Ogres have Ogre charge which mean they retain half their charge bonus when running into braced formations.
The solution is to tune down mass for "large" units that aren't meant to go through spears, like horses and hounds, and leave it for Bears and Ogres.
EDIT: if, like a lot of you say, this is because of a bug where your units cannot move past each other well but enemy units can, then fix the bug. Don't nerf mass of Ogres and large SEMs as a way to fix it. That's my point.
Top Comment: Charging through T1 Spearman is fine, and it is silly when giant monsters get stuck in a tarpit of Skaven Slaves they could just step over and on, but there comes a point where it becomes a severe balance issue. When a single monster can blast through multiple units of Celestial Dragon Guard, late game infantry becomes more useless and you should just get Terracotta Sentinels instead. At some point, large monsters should be stopped by Anti-Large.
Hackers are completely broken due to how AI works, they need a severe nerf (I'd suggest nerfing base range and/or removing the +range enhancement for them)
Main Post:
Once you move into higher MMR levels, you will quickly realize that hackers are far and away the best unit in the game and nothing else comes close. Their ability to cause complete disruption of enemy pushes is unrivaled by any other unit in the game, and their massive range allows them to stay safe until the end of fights with absolutely no counterplay.
Consider this: if your goal is to slow down the enemy's advance (to allow more time for your stormcallers, mustangs, etc. to DPS the enemy), common sense would say to buy high HP units like Sledgehammers or a Fortress to buy time for your high DPS units. However, because of how AI always targets the closest unit and will stop advancing until all units in range are dead, a hacker is simply always better than any of the aforementioned units. As soon as it mind controls a single enemy unit, the entire enemy formation will stop for a split second to kill that unit. Slow-firing units are particularly hurt by this, as a single mind controlled Crawler at the right time can cause your entire army of Stormcallers to fire a volley on that single crawler.
Steel Balls are the hardest hit by AI problems vs Hackers, and are completely useless and in fact a detriment to your team as soon as your opponent places a single hacker on the field -- ESPECIALLY if you dared to purchase crawler spawning upgrade on them. You can test it yourself, a single Hacker with range upgrades can defeat 6 GROUPS (24 units) of Steel Balls by itself. Placing a steel ball on the field is just giving your enemy extra ammunition to use against you - and it's the same for Rhinos unless you have a massive level advantage on them.
But hackers can be countered by air, you say! Well... sure, they can't hit air directly, but the sheer amount of time they buy an army leads to your air units dying to enemy mustangs or snipers anyway. And actually, hackers CAN kill air units "by themselves" if they mind control something that can shoot air. I've seen rounds where one person had literally zero units that could attack air, but still won a round vs multiple Overlords, simply because of Hackers winning the ground fight and taking over enough snipers to kill the Overlords.
Oh, and once your Hackers get a couple levels you can buy shield upgrades that are just as strong as Fortress shields, to protect your entire army further and render them invulnerable to airstrikes permanently!
I can't think of any other single unit that's so incredibly powerful and can do EVERYTHING, and it's not healthy for the game.

24yo Should I apply for Ontario Works? I cant work due to a back injury.
Main Post:
Hey personalfinance I have a situation on my hands that I'm not quite sure how to handle.
I work for a cleaning company in the evenings and in the spring-fall I work in landscaping but now I cant do neither. In January of this year I injured by lower back L4-L5 and haven't been able to work since. I tried physio and chiro in hopes of getting better by April, but instead of my back getting better it only seems to get worse. Acupuncture helps relieve the pain but only for a little while. My family doctor has been of no help at all and say I just have to give it time and rest. I have searched everywhere for a solution to my problem but I cant find anything.
My savings run out, I have $5000 in debt to student loans, I have to pay $800rent and $200 groceries, $100transportation and $80cell phone bill.
I cant apply for other jobs because if I stand or sit for longer than 1hr-1.5hrs the pain becomes unbearable. I cant bend down or squat. Even walking is a problem. The doctor hasnt told me how long this might last and I'm really scared, not being able to work has me really worried.
Im thinking of applying for Ontario Works but I dont want to unless its the only course of action left available to me.
What do you guys think? Have any of you been in similar situations? What did you do? Are there any jobs you think I could apply for in my situation?
EDIT: Thank you guys for the responses. Tomorrow I'm going to call the NSLC and go to my OntarioWorks office.

This is Canada, and we have social safety nets for exactly this reason - so you don't end up on the streets because of a back issue.
I'm not super familiar with the various programs, but there's also an Ontario disability program you should investigate.
Get the groceries and rent looked after, kick up your feet and get better like the doctor suggested, then go back to work. It's better for all of us if you do that :).

Holy shit, this is sad. Do we have any alternatives now?
All indexers are unavailable due to failures [but jackett works fine]
Main Post:
Everyday I got this in annoying msg from sonarr, and when I go to Jackett indexers works fine (test is ok), but in sonnar the individual test fails
This is how I have my indexers (from jacket) https://i.imgur.com/syPsbXg.png
This is what I get in the log: https://pastebin.com/5RGNFF79
The only "crash" I found in log is: https://pastebin.com/6dgLeb3F
And the only way to make it work is to reboot my server (it's a laptop with Fedora OS), any ideas about this problem?
Top Comment:
you say you have to reboot the server but have you tried restarting just sonarr from the command line?
I ask because I have what may be the same issue. However, if I restart sonarr, then test my indexers, they work again.
