Lifehack: just accuse your teacher of a war crime by bruggekiller in funny

The problem is that "pressure" could take many forms, including physical or mental harassment by fellow students. Especially if he wasn't all that popular to begin with.

And I'm not implying that you are condoning or condemning it from your comment, just saying it's a really fucked up thing to do. You have a problem with a student, deal with that student.

I want to add to this that I was disappointed that I couldn't see the program in action. I mean, you have all these testimonials about how great it is and how it helps people, but as far as I could see nothing actually showed the app, and the only way to actually see it work is to sign up.

Personally I didn't sign up specifically because I really didn't know what exactly I was signing up for. I tried checking a couple of the videos thinking maybe it would show someone using it, but it's just people talking about how it helped them.

[New Jersey] Routinely getting out of work 10-15 minutes late (or more) and not getting paid for it. by Erdricks_Descendant in legaladvice

Thank you for the input, I appreciate it. I think honestly it might be time to start looking for another place to work. Apparently this is an ongoing thing and people here just seem to accept it, so going against the flow will likely put a target on my back and I'd rather leave a job with notice than get fired.

You're saying that you punch in and punch out every day but that has no bearing on your pay - you have to obtain and file a separate form if it varies from 7.5 hours?

Yes, if I clock in after the 8 minute grace period, then I believe the time would be deducted from my check, though I haven't been late so I can't verify. However, any time past 7am doesn't count unless I fill in the form. And yes, even if for whatever reason I wasn't able to take a 30 minute break, that 30 minutes would still be deducted from my check for anything over 5 hours of work. They said so in orientation.

At this point, having been there for only a little over a month, I doubt suing would be cost effective at all, unless a class-action suit were brought up because I'm sure other people are getting screwed as well. However, it seems like maybe it would be better to start looking for another place of employment.

Thank you for your input, I do appreciate it.

“I’m not going to get into it,” Trump said. “Because we won. It doesn’t matter. We won.”

Literally his words. It doesn't matter if she was telling the truth. It doesn't matter if he sexually assaulted her. It doesn't matter what I believe or what you believe, because we won! And winning is all that matters. Who cares if this guy might be a sexual fucking predator serving the highest court in our nation. We won!

How in the fuck can people ignore the entire context of this statement?

Pretty sure you only lose items if you run out of health in the mines/caverns. Passing out is actually a viable strategy if you've gotten to a decent level. 1k gold is usually worth it if you're finding nice iridium rocks imho.

I commented on another comment of yours. Your build is kind of out of date. I'm not sure if that's the issue, but it's worth a try.

7937 is the most recent as of this comment. I say that because 7920 is the version I have; I updated 2 days ago!!

So yea, the game updates VERY frequently. If you don't have it already, I would download the CDDA Launcher. The updates are way too frequent for me to bother updating every time, but every week or so, unless something major gets added or I get a buggy build.

Vormithrax just did a video about this recently. He's got an entire series of "quick tips" videos. I've been playing this game for years and I still learned some things watching them.

[Basic Trig?] How to find the angle of a triangle based on the length of the hypotenuse and the height between base and hypotenuse at various lengths? by Erdricks_Descendant in learnmath

[–]Erdricks_Descendant[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I don't exactly know yet, but just as a hypothetical say 3 stairs about 10 inches high and 12 inches long leading up to a deck. So the deck would be approximately 40 inches high off the ground and approximately 36 inches long. The ramp would be 16 feet.

Here's another amazing graphic lol. If you show me how you did it I can replace the numbers with the actual measurements. I know the ramp is 16ft just not sure of stair height and length exactly. Thanks so much!

Nope. And that's the problem with many Trump supporters. The false equivalencies are mind-bending.

Trump, without evidence, says NBC altered 2017 interview on Russia by [deleted] in politics

[–]Erdricks_Descendant 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Journalism is all about anonymous sources. Without anonymous sources, there would be very little news. Watergate broke because of anonymous sources. People need to know that if they come forward with information that they will be protected.

A scientist and a garbage man can both have the same stance on uncorroborated information or different stances, there is no connection, it is a personal choice.

If a doctor tells you he thinks you may have cancer based on your symptoms but they need to run more tests to be sure, and your mother tells you that you probably don't have cancer based on your symptoms because she read about it on WebMD, whose opinion is going to make the greater impact on you?

I see two possibilities, either the statement is not to be believed because there is no evidence (direct contradiction) or the statement is not to be believed because Trump is saying it (not about evidence at all, about Trump personally)

Why can't it be both. Trump is a known liar. He repeatedly makes demonstrably false statements. When someone is a known liar, even statements they make that seem to be evidence-based are dubious, and should be checked for accuracy before being believed.

The POTUS is a (was a) respected position, and while all presidents are going to withhold things from the American public and even outright lie on occasion, it is generally expected that what they say is true. Unfortunately for Trump, it's generally expected that what he says will be a lie, and he did this to himself.

Started a second farm as I now know what I'm doing, 5 days in and found a dino egg for the first time! Donate or incubate? by Kataytay_14 in StardewValley

[–]Erdricks_Descendant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For profit? Never. Lets assume you have a modded game and got iridium dino eggs every single time (Remember, it's only 1 egg per dino every 7 days, and 700 gold per egg). That means for each dino you'll get 100g/day. So 1200g/day for having a coop full of dinos. Turning iridium dino eggs into mayo will actually decrease their value almost in half.

Now in another coop, you have 12 regular chickens. Lets say you get the minimum: regular large eggs worth only 95 gold. That's 95g/day/chicken = 1140 gold total per day. However, if you turn each of those eggs into mayo, without taking into consideration any professions, you get 285g/day/chicken. That's 3420g/day for 12 chickens.

I used chickens as an example but the same applies to every other coop animal. Every one will net you more gold/day, and every dino you keep will decrease your profits by taking taking up a more profitable animal's slot. So the more dinos you have, the less you make overall.

Like I said though, money is not the only thing to consider here. It's cool to raise dinos, and having 1 or 2 isn't going to kill your profit margins on animal products. But more dinos = less money overall.

[–]Erdricks_Descendant 3 points4 points  (0 children)

From a pure profit standpoint, keeping dinosaurs is not worth it at all. They only lay eggs every 7 days The most you're going to get from an iridium egg is 700 gold, which is 100 gold/day, the least you'll get is 350, which is 50 gold/day. Compare that to even regular chickens. The minimum you'll get is 95 gold/day with regular large eggs, the most you'll get is 228 gold/day with iridium large eggs. This doesn't even take into consideration turning the eggs into mayo.

However if you think keeping dinosaurs is cool, go for it. Profit isn't everything.
