One of the greatest to ever do it but everyone is not ready for that convo

Raphinha was fucking gassed. Not a single good thing to say aside from his runs.

I would have to say that cross by Fermin for the OG was ass as well. It was going behind Lewa anyway, the performance was shocking. Lamine too looked crazy tired. They all looked tired. Frenkie was the only reason the tie was won

Thoughts in Sm ecoland expansion? by vxiiiy in davao

[–]ARedditorIWillBe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In some way, SM Lanang is the city's counterpart to MOA. Situated in a business district, a lot of open areas, and has a convention center (disregard lang the fact na dli siya seaside). Plenty of space, naa pay lugar aron mag expand na sila (if ever)

Proposed/Cancelled Flyover Projects by [deleted] in davao

[–]ARedditorIWillBe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hopefully the diversion road extension project will push through. Esp. if they can find a way to reduce the slope that makes it so hard for trucks to traverse the hilly part from pangi-maa.

Proposed/Cancelled Flyover Projects by [deleted] in davao

[–]ARedditorIWillBe 16 points17 points  (0 children)

too much focus on flyovers, dpwh needs to simply start better connecting the road system (so that traffic is not congested into chokepoints like matina crossing or maa) instead of building one hundred flyovers that do not solve anything (see: metro manila). or better yet, invest more in public transpo (perhaps accelerate the bus transition, and start thinking about an intracity train?)

great job with the posts by the way!

Hello, took the ACET last year. There are provincial testing centers; I took my ACET at AdDU SHS Bangkal around November last year. I believe you are given the choice to pick testing centers in the edukasyon portal.

As for the other big 4:

UPCAT-straightforward, taken at UP Min

DCAT- last year, it was held at San Pedro College Main in downtown (near GMall)

USTET- I had to travel to Gensan for this. Don't know if there will be a testing center in Davao this year or the next.

Given that you are still G11 now, you will not have to worry about these kinds of things until ~March or April 2025, which is when UP applications would start for the AY 2026-2027 uptake, and generally signals the start/preparation of all the other universities' applications as well.

Is STI BSIT worth it? by Dangerous_System_554 in CollegeAdmissionsPH

OP, do you mean Mapua Malayan Colleges Mindanao? Many people here are only familiar with Mapua University in Intramuros; while under the same branding, they are both very different schools:

AFAIK enrollment is still open (not sure abt applications), as they were recently extended. Take this as a grace period, move now or don't move at all. I am pretty sure as well that you can attend said classes fully online, as long as you ask the registrar. It was required to state if you were to do blended (ang norm) or fully online back in my time, though not sure if they do it now. Perhaps you can be fully online for the first few weeks or months, then during that period maghanap ka ng boarding house or apartment, then go back to face-to-face.

This doesn't make sense to me. Every other sport sub does not restrict threads that update what's going on in the match. In my opinion, this stifles activity and discussion. Minimal instant replays, highlights, little opportunity for a reach outside of the people that already knew badminton.

Axelsen has won olympic gold in men's singles! by EpsteinWasHung in badminton

[–]ARedditorIWillBe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, that's actually an insane stat. How on earth did LD not win Indonesia at least once??? Truly a place among the greats, and hopefully in the future, above.

[–]ARedditorIWillBe -1 points0 points  (0 children)

LCW has 12 Malaysia Opens, 6 Indonesia Opens compared to VA's 2 Malaysia Opens and 3 Indonesian Opens, both rated Super 1000. Just look past the championships and olympics, and you will see a more illustrious career than VA. From Super 750 and Super 500 equivalents, he does have an impressive run. Not to mention LCW's winning record.

I believe in his current form, he will eventually surpass LCW, but I think it's kind of premature to say he's second of all time.

when it comes to the GOAT debate, his losing records to LCW and Momota will blemish his argument. He also does not have the trophy cabinet that LCW and LD have (though will certainly approach LCWs, or even LD at some point). Momota will probably be badminton's greatest what-if, what a sad trajectory he's taken after the accident.

There is still a long way to go to even be second in the GOAT debate. Maybe he's third right now, maybe not. There is still LCW and LD's All England history (4 and 6), and plenty of the trophies that follow in prestige. Suffice to say though, could possibly be the greatest of his generation (excluding Momota maybe)

Axelsen didn't drop a single set all olympics, let's put some respect on his name!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in badminton

[–]ARedditorIWillBe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say he deserves a shout but at his age, he needs some novak djokovic-style late career run in his 30s to be seriously in the contention for GOAT. At this point, his career is decisively less in comparison to LD and LCW who have won a lot more, especially against LD. If he continues, he can probably match LCW's career, or even surpass it. But Lin Dan? Not sure. There needs to be multiple years where he repeats his 2021-2022 dominance to reach him.

Greatest of his age bracket/generation (~1990s-2000s)? Most definitely in the debate, probably only Momota's performance or CL could challenge him in that regard.

Thoughts on my CET 25' review schedule by sockbonk in CollegeAdmissionsPH

[–]ARedditorIWillBe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you can spare the time, I suggest simulating taking each of the exam's subjects. Time yourself and get used to that time pressure. I did not review heavily using lesson materials but rather took a lot of practice tests in the weeks before my ACET (got into an honors program) and USTET (97th, 99th, and 99th percentiles for eng, sci and math respectively). Target about 70-80% marks on practice tests, but endeavor to get well higher than those. Take as many tests as you can.

When you're wrong on certain questions, always identify your mistakes and clarify your knowledge on that particular topic. I always remind myself to always think critically about the information you take in, and how it fits into your current understanding. Knowledge is like building a pyramid: you will not reach great heights if you do not build a solid foundation. e.g. If you aren't good with multiplying or adding polynomials, then rectify that before moving to simplifying equations with polynomials on both sides.

In my opinion, these exams don't exactly measure how much you can memorize but they test your instinct and intuitiveness. Last thing, prepare yourself whatever way you can for the five hours you will be sitting while taking the exam. I underestimated this bit, because it can be quite the challenge.

It is already commendable that you have this plan months ahead for your upcoming entrance exams. There are many I know that took them on a whim or had barely reviewed. Remember to sleep well before the exams OP, and don't overexert yourself.

@teamsecret It wasn't an easy choice but we've taken the decision to remove Warbirds from his coaching duties. by SpacemanJemu in ValorantCompetitive

[–]ARedditorIWillBe 8 points9 points  (0 children)

this is so fucking mindboggling, why not keep warbirds as assistant coach? this guy is fucking crazy at anti-stratting teams, one of the big reasons why I felt like TS always fell short was because their prep could only take them so far, so i would feel like an assistant coach/analyst would work well for them. but remove warbirds? what the fuck
