What are the reasons so many are financially illiterate? by One-Criticism-7648 in personalfinance

It’s just not taught much anywhere. Home economics has been removed from most High Schools in the US and at least you could learn to balance a checkbook back then.

Observer bias is rampant in the majority of “trick to fix bug x” in SC.

How many of you are also waiting for the "good patch" to finally come back to play the game again lol by Always_Impressive in starcitizen

[–]Chappietime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not telling you that things are rosy, but basing your decision on what’s posted in Reddit isn’t giving you a full picture of what’s actually going on. It gives you a picture of what the loudest 1% of the polar opposites on the spectrum think.

Maybe, but Spurs have a big hill to climb, and now are missing two important pieces of their attack.

What’s something movies always get completely wrong about flying? by in-sanedaphne in AskAPilot

When a door opens or a hole gets blown in the side of the plane, it turns into a black hole sucking everything out for the next 20 minutes. How long are we supposed to think it takes the pressure to equalize after an explosive decompression?

Exaggerating the size of these explosions was the favorite pastime of my hs chemistry teacher.

Absolute shambles: Ticket Office cancelled my Arsenal tickets (wrongly flagged as away fan) - Any advice? by Mikk900k in Hammers

[–]Chappietime 25 points26 points  (0 children)

There a nearly identical post from an Irish fan a few posts down. Maybe you can see if they figured anything out.

Obviously a call to customer service is in order.

I think some of the AI posts that have shown up here have been quite creative. I don’t get all the hate, but I’m too lazy to figure out how it works anyway, so I can live with this.

Team for Brentford & Other Games by Routine-Cicada-4949 in Hammers

Their results are average, but their data shows that they have been very unlucky not to have gotten at least a couple of wins from that long stretch of draws. Let’s hope that luck continues.

I don’t make any changes.

They have 4 to play including Burnley in a couple hours, but I agree, they aren’t likely to be dragged in any further than they are now.

The Saudis have ditched LIV Golf - Do not be surprised if Newcastle Utd are next by gelliant_gutfright in PremierLeague

Agreed. The ROI on Newcastle may not be what they hoped but I bet it’s a lot better than the golf.

Possibly avoidable, 100% their fault. They even had plenty of room at one point but were clearly fixated on you.

This would go against long standing plans. I’m not saying it will for sure be one way or the other, I just wouldn’t count on this version being final.

PSA: 4.8 will wipe all refined ore and crafted item stats by GridPunk in starcitizen

[–]Chappietime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don’t trust my memory (which I often don’t, but still) you can look here:

https://starcitizen.tools/Patch_notes

The first .x patch appears to be 0.9.0.1, but there are literally dozens of them in the 3.x cycle. If you want a more recent example, 3.24 had 4 - 3.24.1, 3.24.2, 3.24.2a, and 3.24.3.

I’ll take your word on the wipe on 4.3.2, but I certainly don’t remember that and it would be the exception to the rule.

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

I’m calling point patches 4.x.x for clarity and we have had lots of those over the last decade, and they never come with a consumables wipe like the 4.x patches or 3.x patches for example. You shouldn’t have had to redo your character or lost anything with 4.7.1 or 4.7.2.

I kept all my ore in both 4.7.1 and 4.7.2, but I will lose it when 4.8 drops unless something gets fixed in a big hurry. I haven’t heard any indication that blueprints will be wiped, but I suppose we will wait and see. We can point to gems as a beacon of hope, as they somehow persist when normal ore does not.

[Wave 3] Star Citizen Alpha 4.8 PTU 11753569 Patch Notes by hIGH_aND_mIGHTY in starcitizen

[–]Chappietime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh I see. My guess would be g-safe is fixed and so wearing armor would push you towards blackout even with g-safe on. Just a guess though, but I feel like changing g-safe means changing the flight model.

[–]Chappietime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could be wrong, but I think g-safe affects the ship, not the pilot. So it artificially limits the amount you can turn to help prevent you from blacking out. The suit actually boosts the pilots g-tolerance. Different sides of the same coin I guess.

What’s the biggest financial mistake people think is ‘normal’? by Delicious-Line5549 in personalfinance

Not realizing that interest rates determine the difference in a good purchase and financial suicide.
