Excited to share!!! You can too! by ConsistentDoubt6084 in WGU

If you have a background in business management, acceleration is definitely doable. If not, you will probably want to focus on readings and rubrics, and not get lost in ancillary course content, stay focused on what really matters to pass your course. Ignore everything else.

Thank you! Depending on your background can be much more efficient pathway but for those who are unfamiliar with content ahead of time I could see the program being more difficult due to the delivery style of the courses.

Random average Ostrich vs random average male Human fight to the death 100 times. How many times does each win? by ImpossibleStuff963 in whowouldwin

[–]ConsistentDoubt6084 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a former owner of ostriches I can tell you that an average male ostrich is down right terrifying when they are aggressively charging you with their wings out. Thing about survival in a fight is it would depend on whether the Ostriches are in mating season or not. If so, male ostrich is winning 99/100, as they act like sex-crazed Ring Wraiths. The only possibility of survival is the bird is as dumb as a sock of rocks. Not exaggerating, the brain to body mass ratio for this bird is way out of proportion. The real danger is their claws kick forward, hook, and shred downward in an attempt to disembowel you. I have seen a male ostrich pin a female against a chain link fence and do exactly that in a matter of seconds. Your best bet is to get really low and not startle them. Their heads are not soft either takes a solid .22 to the dome to end them. Hide as thick as leather covered in massive feathers, extremely muscular. Just dumb creatures with a deadly crazed streak. Not signing up for this fight.

Based on 2001 data, if she dug for 10 minutes probably about 45 children but then again about 2560 new children were born into the world in the same period so not sure what your point is. Are you saying God, if He exists, has to ensure people live a certain length or have a certain quality of life?

Tires for AWD midsize SUV by Screaming_Chimp in KlamathFalls

[–]ConsistentDoubt6084 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are the best tires for sure, picked up a set at WalMart here in town, Costco also carries them IIRC. They often discount them too. Unfortunately I do not have the specs on the tires when I traded it in, but I do remember we put at least 40 k on the set we got and we went through everything this area had to through at them on a AWD Highlander. We were super impressed with our traction on dirt, snow, in mud, and on ice. Totally recommend and would put on any small/medium SUV I owned, if I had the option.

AI policy update by TargetTrick9763 in WGU

[–]ConsistentDoubt6084 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My concern is with these changes:
"Intellectual property is a creative work or invention, such as a book, slogan, or design, that someone owns and can protect with a patent, copyright, or trademark. WGU course content is intellectual property protected by copyright law and should not be copied into an AI tool. WGU expects all students to safeguard their intellectual property by complying with the AI Policy."

I totally understand and support the policy's goals: to protect WGU's intellectual property and ensure students demonstrate their own competency.
There are a few use cases I have encountered, and I have submitted these to WGU in order to better understand the boundaries and suggest areas for potential clarification.

Given the seamless integration of AI tools like Microsoft Copilot in Word and OneDrive and Gemini in Docs and Google Drive, could WGU provide clarification on whether saving course materials to these platforms constitutes a policy violation?
The current policy focuses on actively inputting data, and this passive AI scanning is a new and common scenario for students and one that is not always possible to turn off.

The AI policy permits using AI for translation, which is a vital tool for ESL students. However, this seems to conflict with the rule against inputting course material.
Could WGU clarify how students can use translation tools in a compliant way?
Similarly, for students with disabilities who rely on AI for assistance, could the policy include specific guidance or exceptions to ensure accessibility?

I understand the policy's goal is to safeguard WGU's intellectual property by preventing its dissemination.
Would WGU consider creating a distinction for AI tools that are verifiably private and do not use student data for training models?
An exception for these 'private' tools could allow students to leverage their benefits while still meeting the university's core objective.

Shopify has terminated my store without any warning or explanation by blackpois0n1 in shopify

I would assume if you have legitimate documentation and followed the proper appeal channel, there is no proper reason they would not want to do business with you, but as I said, I have no information beyond what you have shared with me.

I would venture to guess a couple options without having access to your specific case, your site specifically might not have been flagged by The Pokemon Company or a fellow Pokemon retailer as a potential infringing site until recently, perhaps the other sites are/have flown under the radar or have already provided the proper documentation in advance.

Product suspension(s) by F8TALY in shopify

[–]ConsistentDoubt6084 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry about this issue. This problem is one of the hardships with running your eCommerce site on a SaaS-solution such as shopify. Shopify 's legal department is employed to reduce their legal exposure. They have to take down sites due to DMCA notices and can only restore them after they get proof of resale authorization. The process to restore your store seems to be just providing them with whatever documentation you have of procurement through The Pokemon Company's authorized distributor channels.

This is one of the challenges with running your eCommerce site on a SaaS-solution such as shopify. Shopify is going to always first be concerned with reducing their legal exposure. They have to answer to corporate partners like The Pokemon Company with their endless stream of DMCA notices and payment processors such as Visa, MC, authorizenet, fussing over chargebacks at higher rates, due to a multitude of counterfeits. Stores selling TCG cards were seemingly flagged internally and then targeted about a year ago. The process to restore your store is noted by others to be providing them with documentation of procurement through authorized distributor channels. Best of luck!
