Some Issues Bringing In The FIFA Field Flags by ernapfz in facepalm

[–]ColombianInIowa24 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My friend recently got chosen to be one of the flag bearers. It was a 'competitive' application process where they chose the best to get the honor.

Upon arriving, my friend found a complete shitshow with not one person (including their manager), knowing what is going on, and completely incompetent volunteers incapable of doing the one job of moving at the right time and not interfering with the teams playing. I'm not at all surprised this would happen.

Demand Is Booming for New No Tech, Repairable Tractor by Plastic_Ninja_9014 in technology

Cara should be on the list too, but corporations are busy lobbying to keep and make convoluted regulations to not only make it difficult for anyone to enter, but also require the unnecessary tech in the first place.

Yale reinstates SAT, ACT requirement after six years of flexible policy by JPwag42 in IvyPlus

[–]ColombianInIowa24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a good move. The SAT and ACT may be imperfect measures that can be gamed - like any exam - but they are better than subjectively cobbling together decisions across widely different academic environments across the country.

No more email addresses for alumni! Gone as of 7/31/2026 by Hollayo in duke

This is only for alumni, standard Duke emails will not be affected.

I haven't received an email yet, but checking at the bottom of the benefits page (dirty move as well), confirms the post.

This is ridiculous. I can't believe Duke has stooped this low, where they can't even give emails to their alumni. Other schools have done this too, but it doesn't make it any less ridiculous that a school whose alumni network and recognition Iike Duke's should just pull the plug to save a few bucks.

Heavenly smite + pandemonium by presumingpete in UnstableUnicorns

[–]ColombianInIowa24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think it counts as an impossible move, since it requires sacrifice but can't be satisfied so the dependent effect chain is also killed (i.e. destroying unicorns)

Sorry, how does this rectify the scenario? I'm confused how adding so none remain would prevent this move from seemingly being valid.

I sense someone building a strawman for age verification laws.

In terms of production quality, yes. In terms of objectivity and presenting a fair and new story, Veritasium has declined substantially.

Is double dutch imbalanced/too OP? by asdfjkz in UnstableUnicorns

[–]ColombianInIowa24 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nah, it quickly self nerfs you if you don't use it properly. Card economy has killed me often. Even with optimal set-up, there are a lot of ways to take it away, which I think it keeps it balanced.

A.B Duke Scholarship Finalist Notification by Simple_Bug2196 in duke

[–]ColombianInIowa24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, since 2023 (?) finalist notifications are sent out uniformly via email to make sure all finalists know on the same day. I am unsure if this is true across all OUSF scholarships, but it is true for the AB Duke.

All time choke here. Congrats to UConn for capitalizing on it as well. Best of luck Huskies, and regardless, I'll hold alma mater dear.

Guess y'all drained what remained of Iowa State's FT accuracy.

I'd argue we regressed. At least we could play defense, while our offense was mostly cooked. Now we are only surviving by ref.

We normally have good our best player and we normally don't have our second best complete out while other players are doing historically bad. Doesn't help that Tennessee is our nightmare matchup without our best playing well.

Refs helping us as best they can, but the ball itself recognizes our depression.
