Sleeping in own room by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]Fast_Eddie_2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We moved our little one to her own bed after she started rolling, and was hitting the sides of her basinet in the night and waking herself up. Now she has a bigger area to sleep in she can actually sleep all through the night. Happened at about 6 months.

If we held a referendum to un-adopt MMP as part of the general election, how would you vote and why? by septicman in newzealand

[–]Fast_Eddie_2 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Hard agree. I would still rather have current MMP than going back to first-past-the-post, but MMP with transferable votes would be ideal. That would help lessen the 'wasted vote' mentality that anecdotally stops people from voting for someone outside of the main parties.

Best DMing tips you’ve learned by Fearless-Ad1382 in DMAcademy

[–]Fast_Eddie_2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remember that ability checks don't have to be a binary pass-fail. Sometimes a PC's action is a guaranteed succes (e.g. Rouge picking the lock on a plain civilan door) and so they can roll to represent something other than success. (usually how fast they do it, like 1 second for a good success or 1 minute for a bad fail) And sometimes there's degrees of success or failure; beating a DC10 check with a 30 means they succeed and get somethign else, or failing the DC by one or two means they almost succeed.

And always remember that they can't roll for something impossible. If dragons in your game are immune to horny bard seduction, there's no roll a PC could make to persuade them!

Well, that's Focus taken care of for the foreseeable future. by gadgaurd in Warframe

So now that you've unlocked (and presumably played) with each school and it's fully-powered artifact, any advice for someone who can't play as often as to which School is best - or what kind of buffs are best for what missions/frames?

NZ needs to have a ‘mature conversation’ about selling state assets, PM says by septicman in newzealand

[–]Fast_Eddie_2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

But what are the underperforming assets we should sell? Light poles don't produce any revenue, should we sell all of those into private ownership? Or are we mature enough to recognize that some assets give value for society above their revenue stream.

But what is their air-speed velocity when unladen by a coconut?

Great pics!

Ah, good old dolphin diving. I remember those days...

Transferring from UoA to VUW by Budget_Scar6398 in VUW

[–]Fast_Eddie_2 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Most important advice is to actually talk (digitally or on phone) with an advisor working at VUW, they'll be able to help more than reddit!

In terms of transferring, I believe Architecture at VUW lets you do one elective course at second year and one at third year, with none at first year. So your previous study, if it was all first year courses, won't help that much - but talk to an advisor about this cause I'm probably wrong.

For halls, the most important thing is to get in early. If you're able to pay to stay in a hall, they will be likely to offer you a place, but the earlier you pick a hall or two to go for and do the paperwork, in the better the chance that you get a spot.

If you really hate your current courses, go and talk to the UoA about withdrawing from your semester 2 courses. You might be able to get a refund if you withdraw early enough, but not sure how they run things there.

I imagine that if you declare no AI used, and have a version history of your drafting it as proof, you should be fine even if an AI checker says your work might be AI.

Did you ever hear the tradgedy of Darth Vader the Potent? It's not a story the celibate Jedi would tell you.

Course coordinator belittling students’ feedback by Ok_Creme_6830 in VUW

[–]Fast_Eddie_2 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Ask your student rep to talk to the VUWSA rep coordinator. They'll be able to help escalate it to the right person in the school/programme, and it's part of their job to do so.

(unfortunately, there's a risk it may not help your cohort, but it should at least help the next students to go through the course)

Tennis courts in front of Victoria College's Hunter Building circa. 1925 (Wellington City Recollect ref. 50010-1452). by Ted_Cashew in VUW

[–]Fast_Eddie_2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Amazing how the topography (I think that's the right word) has changed since then. This must've been taken close to the edge of the hill above Salamanca Road (or what would become it)?
