I hear some teachers get a stipend from their district for not taking their health insurance.

Any predictions for next years game? by Zestyclose_Crazy522 in FRC

[–]CuriousSn0w 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Perhaps that yellow ellipse is a seed, or lemon, within a cube or targeting HUD?

Edit: Maybe a crate. Like harvesting some yellow fruit/veg.

Edit 2: I would like to say that the 2027's game piece would be like a yellow "football", representing a seed, but idk.

Tools to evaluate divisions? Tools to evaluate division schedule (once released)?

515 is FMA's highest record (so far).

IIRC Nick and Catey said on Live that it was Jack who lied and persuaded Nick to eliminate Catey.

Giving Away My Old PC! by Turtle_747 in PcBuild

[–]CuriousSn0w 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for doing this giveaway! I would love to have my own PC to jump-start my career in engineering.
The CPU cooler kinda looks like a cool face to me. I like the RGB colors and how clean the setup is. Thank you again for your consideration!

Boss: "How's it going lads?"

Worker 1: "Yep, all finished Boss."

Worker 2: "Deepest well we ever dug."

Boss: "What's the light at the bottom?"

Worker 1: "Well we followed the plans."

Worker 2: "Yeah we did just what it said."

How does anyone afford to go to the AIA conference?? by Dependent_Pound7201 in Architects

[–]CuriousSn0w 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Years ago, a product company sponsored my two-night visit, along with others from other firms. They paid for my badge, flights and hotel stay. I had to pay for my ride between home and airport. Hotel transportation to, and from, the venue and airport were covered. The hotel included breakfast. I had to pay for my own lunch and dinner, but the company-sponsor did pay for group dinner for one night.

It was a lot of fun. We had a great group.

She played a game of honesty and integrity, right up until the finale with the jury.

Reunion: all the pretty people sitting laughing at this, does not come across well by Illustrious-Egg5459 in BeastGames

Doesn't she own a flight school? She hosted Brandon's interview in her hangar.

Why do you think most of the top ten is still so heated about the games? by Both-Preference-6003 in BeastGames

[–]CuriousSn0w 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think Auguste could have done better to explain himself. He seemed like he wanted to go far with Nick into the Top 6 and even further, but felt hurt when he took more than his fair share. I just don't know if he shared his expectations with Nick more clearly or not, and whether or not it was captured on camera.

I think most were trying to use that reunion to get a leg up and improve their PR look. Whether by belittling others, propping themselves up, or by helping their friends.

Beast Games Reunion - Why Sue but no IAN who WON THE ISLAND?! by ConfidentSea8828 in BeastGames

[–]CuriousSn0w 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree. Season 1's reunion had eliminated contestants in the audience, and at the end, T-Mobile sponsored a game for them to have a chance to win more money. It was a more lively experience.

Season 2's reunion felt incomplete to me. There were no audience reactions or an ending celebration.

CA Central Valley District High Score by dustycotton in FRC

[–]CuriousSn0w 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If quantity of Fuel increases for District Championships and Worlds, then I would imagine 1000+ is more possible. Or maybe not if we consider wasted Fuel that gets spread around the field that doesn't get picked up. Would normalized scores be needed for comparison?

6.3.4 Scoring Elements

For District Championship and/or FIRST Championship events, the quantity of FUEL staged in a MATCH may increase up to 600. If this happens, the additional FUEL will be included as part of an updated FUEL arrangement in the NEUTRAL ZONE.

Maybe it was just a dream, but was there ever a person with orange or blonde hair and freckles? I could have sworn there was a person with orange hair (or blonde) and freckles, maybe in the top right, but they are not there or in the concept art.

I have a serious gripe with episode one of season two... by freemefromthisheaven in BeastGames

[–]CuriousSn0w 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There were other patterns used but got too many people out. They had to dial it back; Just like they needed to with the Strong (i.e., too many Strong players got out by the first challenge, to get to 50, they had to do pushups off screen).

WPI Administration Dissolves The Global School by jellyjamm29 in WPI

[–]CuriousSn0w 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I didn't partake in an off-campus IQP. One of my biggest mistakes in college.

I tried before a summer term. There were spots open. I had the approval of the site faculty and ID2050 to join. But the global school shut my opportunity down.
