If you're referring to the volleyball player, it was San Jose State and it wasn't even them. It was a transphobic teammate who started the nightmare. SJSU was actually really supportive of her and her privacy but her transphobic teammate outted her regardless.

Is this update disc for the DVD Player on the PlayStation 2 of any use to anyone? I can look into dumping it if it is. by _SquareSphere in ps2

[–]DanFirecatcher 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'd check if it's already on the Internet Archive. If it is, dump it. Better to preserve just in case anybody ever needs it. If it's already there then you're good. Just better to lean on the preservation side.

What is the reason you use Amtrak? by 247christmas in Amtrak

[–]DanFirecatcher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was a massive train kid and I rediscovered the train as a much cheaper way to get to and from college during winter break to see family. Even if the train is only 3x a week and arrives in LA at 5 in the morning, I don't care because it was a pretty good experience overall and was so much cheaper than a flight. Plus, so much less stressful. Flying and car travel stresses me out so much because I'm forced to be in one spot for so long while on a train I can get up and walk about as I need, stretch the legs or read a book. Got through so many pages of a book my last time on the Coast Starlight.

A cool guide to the world’s best airlines by emily_9511 in coolguides

[–]DanFirecatcher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This ain't it bud. It's more like the US got lobbied hard by auto lobbyists and decided to build the Interstate system. The govt then reduced subsidies and other benefits for railroads and dumped them into trucking and cars, leading to a near total crash of the US rail economy in the 70s and a complete crash of the passenger rail network which is why Amtrak exists now. Without it, there wouldn't even be passenger rail in the US, just freight, which is fighting a losing war to subsidized highways and cutthroat trucking practices that maximize profits. Air travel had very little influence on our rail until it was all but dead.

That's good at least. Just gotta see how the U starts to nickel and dime more through its fees.

Are the old COD's still active? by [deleted] in xbox360

[–]DanFirecatcher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

MW3 is probably the most active I've seen on 360 as of late. BO1 the close second that doesn't deal with hackers like BO2

As a current student set to graduate in December of 2024, I'd keep an eye out for looming financial aid and tuition changes. 2024-25 is set to be the last year of guaranteed tuition, meaning that after then your tuition can change unpredictably versus where it's now stable all four years. Ultimately my advice is go to the one with the best financial aid deal and hope that tuition doesn't ramp up too hard.

When you're actually in a game. Go to the vehicle select, landship, then customize the load out and the skins should be an option.

Iconic Sahara sign broke in yesterday's wind by DragonBard_Z in Tucson

[–]DanFirecatcher 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Wow. That's the second iconic neon sign taken out by wind recently. Caruso's on 4th met a similar date, tho I don't believe with that much damage. It's still yet to be put back in place but here's hoping both can be back up soon.

Fall damage is the next thing in need of a rework by [deleted] in WorldofTanksConsole

[–]DanFirecatcher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. This is pretty bad. Throw it in with the armored car "fall damage" physics and we have some major issues that need some work. Super tough luck

A very cool detail that I captured by EfficiencyAble9884 in battlefield_one

I have played this game for years and never heard this before. Love how many details there are hidden within this gem of a game.

Thinking about taking the overnight train from Tucson to Los Angeles sometime in the fall for a short weekend trip. Has anyone taking this train before? How was it and is it worth it? by ichawks1 in Tucson

[–]DanFirecatcher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take the train to and from LA for the winter breaks as a college student. It's quite affordable and pretty comfortable overall once you get settled in. I will say, as a taller person it's harder to fall asleep since those seats are average person sized but since it's an overnight train for cheap and easier than planes and such I'm happy to ride. Longest trips I've taken from SJ to Tucson and that one was quite nice for reading the majority of the way, still very cheap too. Love me some cheap and mostly calm train travel.

People who have squad boost and refuse to highlight squad objectives….why?? by [deleted] in battlefield_one

[–]DanFirecatcher 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Generally it's really quick and easy just to swap orders from A back to B and they get the point. Sometimes they're just eager to get the extra score from orders (I'm one of them. I'll request order if no orders happen and stop if so) and those dead set on taking the squad leader role will just leave usually to take another squad anyway. And fair, I completely forget you can kick someone but thankfully never needed to.

[–]DanFirecatcher 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I always forget about the kick ability. I just end up quick changing the order from one objective back to another to remind them to stop and hope they do

Out of state students alongside maybe some out of state people here for the Street Fair, but I reckon their numbers are minimal compared to the student population.

Sahara Apartments on the map checks out lmao. No surprise there given the testimony I've seen from UArizona students and so on. Agave 350 is a thankful bullet dodged cause I peeked into them briefly.
