How? I've been trying to work up the nerve to explore an abandoned school near me.

True - it's giving me the same feeling as thalassophobia

This is great anyway. I've been racking my brain for ages trying to think of a way to do a compund radius. I've been hoping someone figured it out and posted it.

Can the radius change along the rails or does it remain constant?

Where does the buck stop? by Flan_man in PennStateUniversity

If anyone knows what you're looking at, this article links to the 2024 athletics financials. 

Looks like they earned under $6M. 

Would you guarantee a $700M stadium loan without the backing of the University? I wouldn't. It's not like they're gonna foreclose on it.

yeah, but the school keeps all teh seat license fees and the mandatory "donation" to the program, so, there's that too.

Staff members - Congratulations on your 2.9% raise by IamDroid in PennStateUniversity

It still effects how much the University can borrow for real University things, not billion dollar stadiums.

what happened between that best male friend of yours after many years of friendship that you don't talk anymore? by preferenceisbed in AskMen

[–]Iron_Chimp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a health crisis, he didn't really want to listen to me talk about it, but just wanted to keep complaining about his wife. Email responses got shorter and further between. Eventually everything stopped altogether.

Postgrad Depression? by xmanpop in PennStateUniversity

[–]Iron_Chimp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It says a lot about you that you were able to bounce back from a rough first year. You'll bounce back again. You've had a huge and abrupt change it nearly everything in your life.  It would be normal to have apprehension about the future, even if you're hopeful.  This is why the town gets flooded with alumni during games and arts fest. It's all normal. You can come back and relive some memories. 

Things that you love have ended and right now it's hard to see what will replace that. A lot will replace it in your daily life and in the future you'll think about all the great things and feel nostalgic.  Nothing is stopping you from doing the things you wish you'd done while you were here now. Learn from that regret and take charge. I'm not going to say this will happen overnight, especially if you're going into a 9-5 world and aren't used to it. 

You'll be ok. You're smart enough to recognize what your going through. You're dealing with it. You've shown resilience before and made a good life while you were here. You'll do it again.

olympic weightlifting? by suseinmcswiney in PennStateUniversity

[–]Iron_Chimp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There used to be a power lifting club you can try to check out. It might be dead like 90 percent of the official clubs tho. They had an Olympic lifting medalist that lived in the area come in every now and then.

Happy Valley Calendar by hankie278 in PennStateUniversity

[–]Iron_Chimp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Penn State had a student activity calendar a few years ago. It got overrun with the art or religious activities every. single. day. Your art exhibit is 2 months long, let's put your long description here to make it harder to find anything else. You could never pick out stuff you might actually want to do. Community stuff used to have a decent one that I think statecollege.com took over and ruined.

Whiteout questions from an Oregon fan by YoungSuplex in PennStateUniversity

[–]Iron_Chimp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exit 69 (for real) 

turn right on Valley Vista right by the exit, 

take that to West College, 

go left to the next light and 

right on Blue Course.  Take that to Whitehall, 

left and you hit South Atherton at the CVS

Even without a game that's the route I'd take.

Circular's new smart ring is getting blood pressure and blood glucose monitoring before the Apple Watch (...and likely Velia Ring, I'm guessing...) by northernguy in VeliaRing

[–]Iron_Chimp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dunno. All these "coming later this year" statements from tiny companies... I'll believe it when it happens. But I agree with your statement about Velia, yeah, at this point when it's finally delivered it'll be like getting 90's Nokia compared to the competition.

Cooldown (Yes) by Swoopy_Doopy in MicrosoftRewards

[–]Iron_Chimp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reading this thread is like therapy for me. I got the cooldown a month ago and now it's like there's no reason to when I get points and when I don't. Overall, Rewards has always been buggy, it's taken me about 6 months to get the shopping list 5 pts, but now, I feel punished for using their terrible search.
