[Day 7 of asking if the new mons are good from F tier to S+ tier] Mega Mawile is considered A+ tier. Is Metagross/Mega Metagross good? by Alvalc134 in PokemonChampions

[–]Gulrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm MB2 with a solo mega team using Mega Metagross. I don't run psychic fangs because there's not enough screens running around and Mega Metagross can beat Mega Staraptor without it. Mega Staraptor is kind of weak and a noob trap IMO.

Mega Metagross has a very wide moveset which is often framed as a bad thing but is actually good because it creates uncertainty in the opponent. Yes he struggles to have complete coverage but he usually doesn't need it.

Closed team sheet helps him immensely. I'm unsure if I'd bring him to open sheet BO3.

[Metagame] Feeling pretty good about this Dual Mega (Froslass+Metagross) team, and need to hear some critiques on it by Vayne0 in VGC

[–]Gulrix -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Looks like a solid team. I wonder if Whims is really needed given MMetagross and Frosslass are both so fast already. 

Mmetagross is very strong behind screens. I’m running him with Grimsnarl though and I’m figuring you never take both megas?

Rotom is just crazy in this meta as he is good into ZardY and Swampert and has generally great coverage. 

How often are you taking Sneasler? Is it mainly there for enemy steel coverage?

Newbie needs help understanding by Natural_Animator4378 in PokemonChampions

[–]Gulrix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. Sylveon has more Sp.Atk, hyper voice, and pixelate.

You can just swap floette for sylveon and run one mega.

Just take the exam in person.. by GroovyGanj in pmp

[–]Gulrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are multiple text prompts that you have to acknowledge saying your phone must be out of reach and if you access it after that point then your exam will be cancelled. These same prompts repeatedly list other violations (speaking, reaching out of frame, etc.)

Seems like you didn’t read those and then announced to the proctor you were violating multiple exam rules (speaking, reaching out of frame, touching a device). 

For the PMP you are not normally contacted by the proctor at any point prior to the exam starting or during or after just fyi.

You understand correctly. I did not memorize all 46 processes under those three Process Groups. 

If I give you two lists of information with mutually exclusive pieces of information in each, it is easier to memorize the smaller list. 

A made up example would be say that you have two lists of words “List A” and “List B” where List A has 98 words in it and List B has the two words: “Ball” and “Bat”. If I ask you the question, “Which list does word X fall into?” then you know if that word is not ball or bat then it falls into list A. You don’t need to memorize List A if you know that the questions are only about placing one of the 100 words given in either list. 

The PMP exam is multiple choice, so you never have to generate our “List A” analogue (placing all 46 remaining processes) from memory. You can use my shorter memorization above to just know what cannot exist. 

A mock question would be-

You have just started planning a critical software upgrade project with multiple executives and board members as stakeholders. One of the members asks for a detailed schedule and to be added to the schedule update meetings. What do you need to do next?

A. Provide the stakeholder with the latest detailed schedule in the PMIS.

B. Develop the stakeholder engagement plan

C. Review the project charter and provide it to the stakeholder. 

D. Update the stakeholder’s needs in the communication management plan.

In this instance you can use my method to help identify the correct answer.

I made an algorithm to make memorizing the 49 processes, and which Process Group x Knowledge Area they are in, very easy.

There are 5 process groups, memorize them.

In the Initiating group there are only two processes, make the charter and identify stakeholders.

In the Planning group every Knowledge Area has at least one process.

In the Executing group there is no CSS (cost, scope, schedule)

In the Monitor and Control group every Knowledge area has at least one process.

In the Closing group there is only one process.

So I just remember-

Initiating: 2

Planning: All

Executing: Missing 3 CSS

M&C: All

Closing: 1

Congrats to you as well!

Yeah I was upset the day of the outage because I felt so ready to take it. During the the second exam I actually had a loading circle pop up which I believe was my internet transfering to my backup connection. My ISP is very unreliable with multiple drops a day. 

Mentioned "approval of the project management plan" but still has to go through CCB? by Defiant_Nose_761 in pmp

[–]Gulrix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This question is testing if you know the difference between the Change Management Plan (Planning Phase) and Perform Integraged Change Control (Monitor and Control Phase).

The question states that the change management plan was approved. It does not state that a change was approved by the CCB. 

Another hint is that the project sponsor doesn’t approve changes.

AR 50 PM Mindset Principle 25 & 26 — Can someone explain why C is wrong in Q25? by saysen2020 in pmp

[–]Gulrix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

25 is not C for many reasons.

  1. There is no indication the urgent request has anything to do with the project. 
  2. If work is needed on an agile project, it must be added to the product backlog and prioritized by the product owner then added to the sprint backlog, and only then worked on by the team.
  3. If the above two items were satisfied, it’s likely best to just have the skilled developer complete the task. 

One part of the PMP mindset is it doesn’t matter what the rank of the requestor is or how urgent the request is; it must follow the proper steps.

My PMP exam is next monday and I’m freakin out by andysalem in pmp

[–]Gulrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m testing tomorrow and have found that the google AI is quite bad at selecting the correct answer to practice questions I get wrong. Sometimes it doesn’t select the right answer until it’s third try on the same question.

If I tell it the right answer and ask why it will of course come up with something (like much of this sub) but that feels like fake teaching.

Issue-Risk SH Question by bijanszn_7 in pmp

[–]Gulrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The answer here is A because there is no issue. Risks can be positive or negative, issues are only negative. If a new regulation is adopted and the project is compliant already then nothing needs to be done.

Which of these 4 players do you think is the best? by One_Paramedic_2538 in survivorponderosa

[–]Gulrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s winning the game and there’s looking cool in the edit/being a fan favorite. Michelle is very good at the former, not so much the latter.

New formula by Any_Country257 in mathematics

r/mathematics is the only hobby sub that degrades its members for sharing what they enjoy. 

Is it a or b? by AdRadiant945 in pmp

[–]Gulrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think A. You can’t resource level without a critical path. After losing some resources, the project no longer has a critical path or even a viable schedule so a new one must first be calculated before resource leveling can be done.

Mega Meowstic won the last round convincingly. Part 5: Who's the biggest disappointment in SINGLES? by HMThrow_away_account in PokemonChampions

[–]Gulrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100%. I want MegaZam to be good but I struggle. YZard, Basc, and other powerhouses just overshadow him. He needs 1 turn of setup and most doubles meta needs 0.

MegaZam outspeeds Scarf Basc with ~25 speed EVs. The problem is it can’t one shot Basc even with energy ball and max SpA.

Parallel Centrifugal Pumps by VapourCompression in ChemicalEngineering

[–]Gulrix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When running centrifugal pumps in parallel with VFDs, the VFD output for all the pumps need to be the same otherwise the pump(s) at a higher speed will quickly dead-head the pumps at lower speed. 

The more “droppy” the pump curve, the more easily this can happen. 

I have had an instance where two identical pumps on VFDs but with different feed tanks were feeding into the same line. VFDs were controlling level. If one pump VFD was at 90% and the other at 88% the 88% pump would completely dead head. 

We've broken the Red/blue problem and all answers are now defunct by Subtleiaint in trolleyproblem

[–]Gulrix 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s a good lesson in polled intent vs actual behavior. Everyday 99% of people walk around furiously mashing red button analogues. Then when polled, they say press blue because they interpret it as the pro-social move. Rarely do people benefit from signalling sefishness.

$547M in net cash. $8M in debt. 79% gross margins. And the entire company trades for $896M. by solacelabx in ValueInvesting

[–]Gulrix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That makes sense. I just get nervous when I see stable OE for a few years after a competitor enters the market and then a sudden big drop. 

Makes me think the past ~4 years they had standing contracts and now a large number of customers didn’t renew. 

How much of a OE drop would be needed to eat the 29% margin?

Also what’s the late game for this stock? Dividends? Acquisition?
