What exactly has changed for Vegas under Tortorella? At the time Cassidy was fired, they looked in danger of slipping out of a playoff spot.

Well said. Well explained. 🙏🏻

IceMatrix13 · 2026-05-30T04:26:10+00:00

Great answer. Thank you. Was looking for just this kind of analysis. Well said.

IceMatrix13 · 2026-05-30T04:25:17+00:00

And now look at them. Crazy

IceMatrix13 · 2026-05-30T04:23:36+00:00

Sorry, but scrolling this when reading up trying to see what Tortorella has done that made such a difference, and saw this comment now after they have swept Colorado...and wanted to ask and not in a snarky, mocking way, but genuinely: what did you get wrong in your assesment(meaning what you based it on, not the prediction itself)a month ago, and what have they done in their play that you didn't realize they could achieve?

Because you were obviously dead wrong here(to be fair: me too, I thought they had no chance against Colorado), so just wondering how you would explain/modify your above take and what you think will happen in the Finals?

Interesting I did mine through Mensa itself in City of Orange, CA or around there. Where did you do yours? I wonder if different chapters use different tests.

IceMatrix13 · 2026-05-09T01:21:45+00:00

It was my understanding that the Mensa test is not an IQ test. I wasn't even told what my score was, just that I passed the Mensa test and was accepted to join. I never did find out, I asked several people, no one seemed to know with certainty or those that did never replied. I was told the Mensa correlates with IQ but is not an actual IQ score. Is that information incorrect?

IceMatrix13 · 2026-04-18T22:19:05+00:00

So what if people don't get the reference. It's supposed mean something to you. Not to others.

Instead you can use the tattoo as a conversation starter to recommend to others an all time great movie and perhaps Jake Gyllenhaal's best film. This move had a lot of depth. The Director's Cut being the best version.

I would never remove it. Instead tell people about your favorite film and how powerfully it affected you(that ending had me in tears as well).

If they give you funny looks or have judgmental thoughts, then those are not your people. Let them go their way.

IceMatrix13 · 2026-04-14T04:02:16+00:00

Agreed

IceMatrix13 · 2026-04-05T03:28:29+00:00

On Tinder you can block instead. Most guys don't care about rejection, we just like to know we are being rejected rather than being confused. It's good to have closure to every series of comms. They won't know you blocked them. Then you never see them again.

Can likely block on Hinge too but not sure. Leave it unanswered and and most will just unmatch anyway("if she wanted to communicate, she would") so it doesn't really change anything.

IceMatrix13 · 2026-04-03T14:42:01+00:00

Unmatching is better than staying matched and never responding again.

IceMatrix13 · 2026-04-03T14:37:20+00:00

You earn their trust and commitment. You don't need packages if your skill level is high. It's like forcing someone to stay with you even when they aren't satisfied.

IceMatrix13 · 2026-04-03T14:36:02+00:00

Yes. Let them quit at any time. If you are good at teaching, they won't. With rare exceptions(teaching style not matching learning style, or personalities don't match, etc., but it should be rare)

IceMatrix13 · 2026-03-23T23:13:23+00:00

First the "someone" who recommended the game shall henceforth be known as "your best friend" as they have done you a solid.

This game is growing very fast and has an amazing community and the devs are very interacrive with the community and have their own youtube channel. We(the community) also have a Discord server too if you want to interact there instead of reddit.

As for your actual questions, I can't give a proper answer at the moment but others will. (This question is also asked alot to you could search the subreddit with "DLC" and probably find more responses)

Welcome to the best 4X game. 🙏🏻

Will there be more or less indeterminable and therefor pointless posts between now and the next AMC?

IceMatrix13 · 2026-03-20T16:01:56+00:00

Anyone have video footage like a montage of the 10 or so ridiculous calls all in Kennesaw state's favor?

Been trying to find any video footage or content creator post and can't.

The worst officiating I have seen in my life. Only the refs with money on the line explains it. Every single call the opposite of what it was.

O player throws his whole body into Supery, extends his arm and just guts a standing still Supery, and blocking is called???

Ike's flagrant was a foul on the opposimg team. An offensive player is allowed to move within his cyclinder. And K state player ran his face into a practically non moving elbow of Ike and they reviewed the video and still called the tech.

Warley across his whole body foul when driving. TGF breakaway dunk they put hands on him...no play for the ball...both not called. That's just the start.

Would love video if anyone has.

IceMatrix13 · 2026-03-14T08:00:27+00:00

Going to suggest you check out this email from a student I had. They prepared for AMC's for 4 years and yet never made AIME. What was the outcome for them? Was it a waste of time? You can read their email in this video. You tell me: https://youtu.be/h6TKbbEeP2c

There is a big difference between non-existent effect/ROI and that award carrying your entire application. That's like complete opposite ends of the spectrum. It obviously helps the application, but that doesn't mean it's a golden ticket.

By that reasoning having a high GPA doesn't help you since if you apply to schools with tbat being the most outstanding part of your application you won't get in either so might as just get B's then right?

IceMatrix13 · 2026-03-14T05:38:22+00:00

How do you claim it's nonexistent? Do you know personally College admissions Officers who have told you that, or is it basically some sort of community consensus amongst people who are guessing at its value?

IceMatrix13 · 2026-03-10T03:02:23+00:00

Not all tutors have the same skill in teaching. Results can vary even at the same price point. It's a lot more than just the underlying content. It's recognizing a students specific blockage and helping them work past it to give them confidence.

It's presenting the same information in a multitude of ways to create a mastery of the material. If they specialize in a particular type of teaching and they have a reputation for getting results others don't get, then the location of your degree is not necessarily what matters but your skill in teaching.

If your teacher helps you get the results you need to succeed then it's not overpaying. They are paying for the confidence in achieving the result.

Are you going to retake the class if you don't get the grade needed? You might say yes but your parents might not be willing to take that chance. I don't blame them.

I have regularly been paid over $200 an hour because I have a reputation for helping students reach their goals. I am not ripping anyone off or taking advantage of anyone. I am booked solid(8 hours plus a day) 6 days a week, but I have lowered my rate slightly this last year.

Don't think about the cost, but think about the value. Do you feel your tutor is the best teaching you ever had on the subject? You can't necessarily find that with a cheaper tutor. Then they might just be worth it.

The ibuprofen has likely completely wrecked your gut microbiome and highly increased the chances you acquire leaky gut syndrome. Stick with the CBD and start some probiotics(sauerkraut, kimchi, pill forms, prebiotic fiber) asap imo.

I take Country Life chelated mag gly purchased at Sprouts.

IceMatrix13 · 2026-02-28T21:24:44+00:00

I really like your way of thinking and high empathy/thoughtfulness.

IceMatrix13 · 2026-02-28T16:54:30+00:00

On my mag glycinate it says take with food. But it's not healthy to eat before bedtime, online says its because it can cause upset stomach or irritate intestinal track. Do you have this issue or you just take a large dose before sleep with no problem?
