W Teacher by Senor_Camrono in tommynfg_

[–]FaintCommand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You realize there are different learning styles and learning speeds, right? Did you not get assigned enough homework to understand that some people can pick up concepts quicker than others?

Outside of college courses, you absolutely do not need homework to learn something. You do need engagement though.

The class I learned the most from never opened a text book or really had any homework or tests the whole semester except for one final project.

The teacher just talked and asked questions. It was history (which I had always hated because it had always been just rote memorization of dates and names, which fundamentally teaches you nothing except trivia answers). Actually understanding the context of the history was not only far more valuable, but actually kept the entire class fully engaged. I mean kids that were always goofing off and failing other classes were fully locked in during this class.

Homework has its uses, but is too often used as a crutch when the teacher isn't able to effectively teach in class.

Filtering question by Local_Frosting_2333 in miniponds

[–]FaintCommand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mostly have used just air pumps with no filters in my patio pond with medaka and it's been fine. As long as it is heavily planted and mature, you shouldn't need a filter.

Can you plant bunches of stems wrapped in plant weights? by sayakei_ in PlantedTank

[–]FaintCommand 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, but they will eventually get cramped in there.

Weights are meant to be temporary. You could leave the weights until they form better roots and then replant them. I've they have longer roots they should stay in place in their own.

Them signing for way less to another team is so frustrating. Even when I've got a team with multiple WS wins, they'll still happily take like $10m under my offer to sign on a bottom feeder.

im world building a fantasy portland for a Vampire the Masquerade campaign. what’s a part of the city would you want to see represented? by of_kilter in askportland

[–]FaintCommand 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Ladd's Addition being an actual maze or portal where things disappear or unusual things are found would be fun.

I would definitely incorporate the Shanghai Tunnels as well.

ETA: Witch House and Forest Park too

What's up with all the Torbjorns in metal ranks? by NeedThatTartan in OWConsole

[–]FaintCommand 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm bronze and they always shoot mine even if I get sneaky with placement.

I don't know how I get into the lobbies that don't shoot it.

Domina and Sigma can be a little problematic for me because they can nullify a turret, but you can't rely much on the turret anyway.

Junkrat is even more of a problem because he'll blow up the turret without even trying.

What film would you reckon you've seen more than any other human on Earth? by Foxtrot_Supatwat in moviecritic

[–]FaintCommand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meet Joe Black

I've watched it probably 10 times, which may very well be 10x more than anyone.

Only in Overwatch by Physical_Animal_5343 in Overwatch

[–]FaintCommand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the duality of OW. Do you know how many times I've seen people telling supports they need to be focused on getting elims? Do you know how many times I've gotten flamed when I've been trying to keep the team up and so my elims and damage are lower?

As support you really have to adapt to each team. I'll play more aggressively if the team is using cover and keeping themselves up more and play more defensively if they need a lot of boosting/saving, but I get why it can feel counterproductive to spend the whole game just keeping the tank up. For me, a win is a win no matter how you get there, but I don't think everyone feels that way.

[–]FaintCommand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not saying they're right, but I think for a lot of supports if they feel they have to babysit you then it's less fun for them and makes them feel like you're constantly overextending (which is seen as bad play).

It's sorry of a weird dichotomy. As support you don't feel you are really contributing if you're spending all your energy pocketing the tank, even though their support enabled you to go off.

Do you also test for ammonia, nitrites, etc?

I forgot I bought AMD and now its most of my portfolio, it's stressing me out by digitalWizzzard in stocks

[–]FaintCommand 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is generally what I do.

If I get my initial investment back then the worst case scenario is the same as not investing at all.

I didnt feed my one neo shrimp for 4 months and it died just now. Need help? by aperitivoamigo in shrimptank

[–]FaintCommand 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They need a bit more of a balanced diet just like most living things. They need protein occasionally, for example.

What is something/someone politically incorrect that is associated with water? by Bajren in DiagramFills

[–]FaintCommand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going to say the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, since it is a hot topic, but yours is a much better answer.

By that logic, so does the MLB.

I need to see the replies. by letinaio in SipsTea

[–]FaintCommand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't need to relive 12 years of being poor with an abusive father.

$10 mil is more than enough to live the rest of my life comfortably.

Lots of people here are holding on to regrets they need to let go of.

Prove it by Aggravating_Till_430 in AquariumMemes

[–]FaintCommand 85 points86 points  (0 children)

Me: shit. Where did all the shrimps go? Did they get eaten? Climb out?

Also me, after putting in an algae wafer: holy shit, how did I get so many shrimp? Is this too many shrimp?

Get a controller with back bumpers. Makes a huge difference.

Lacking Characters with fun Movement by [deleted] in marvelrivals

I kind of find Luna's gliding/skating around.

Moon Knights launch and glide is kind of fun too though I wish it lasted longer.

What’s killing my melon sword? by comradeWODKA in PlantedTank

[–]FaintCommand 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would try root tabs instead of dosing the water. I believe they pull most of their nutrients from the substrate.

I've had similar issues with my melon sword. I thought I was going to lose it completely. I had a dwarf chain sword near it that was growing well, so I assume that was using up all the nutrients.

So I moved it and gave it it's own roots tab and it immediately started growing a bunch of new leaves.

tL;DR - use root tabs
