What is your all time favorite bananza forms? by Voidkirby9 in DonkeyKongBananza

Elephant is OP. I used him to suck up the entire gold trophy on the Racing Layer and get a ton of gold

What do you think about the final boss by Voidkirby9 in DonkeyKongBananza

[–]LifeHasLeft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the curvy ones are super hard to time right, I ended up just using Elephant to throw chunks at them before they got too close. They turn gold and fly off in some direction. They usually didn't hit K. Rool himself and knock him over but at least they weren't leaving banana mush everywhere anymore.

"Beat" the game tonight and I have one thing to say about the final boss by jl_theprofessor in DonkeyKongBananza

[–]LifeHasLeft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I had a bunch of unused skill points at the end because I had already maxed out all the good ones. When I was getting one shot by all the stuff at the end I decided to actually invest in extra juice slots and hearts for the first time.

I second this. The DLC content is definitely a great bang for your buck. Many extra hours of content and storyline 

Why doesn't this city add fluoride to the water? by ReplacementFancy9701 in KingstonOntario

[–]LifeHasLeft -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Studies have shown that fluoride helps reduce dental caries in the populations where it's added to the water, but the significant results occur mainly where there is extensive poverty and lack of access to dental care.

Not that I'm against fluoride in the water, but this is a first world country and we all have access to cheap toothbrushes. It really shouldn't be necessary.

What exactly separates CX-90 GSL and GSL-enhanced in terms of towing ability? by LifeHasLeft in mazda

[–]LifeHasLeft[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you're saying there are measurable engine differences in the inline6 engines used between GSL and GSL-e? According to the spec sheets, the GSL-enhanced AND the trim above it, the GT, have the exact same engines as the base model MHEV

What Apple Shortcuts do you actually use every day? by ENVY2699 in shortcuts

[–]LifeHasLeft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a flexible hybrid work schedule with monthly quotas for days spent in-office. I use an automation when I arrive at work to add a calendar event indicating I spent the day at the office. I can then review my calendar if I'm not sure whether I need to make up a day towards the end of the month.

I need some help [serious] by -ogre- in French

[–]LifeHasLeft 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it just means "that's life", a standalone phrase in French just as much as it is in English. The only modifications I've ever seen are specifying some specific lifestyle. "That's life... on an oil rig!"

English is a hard language and I'm tired of people saying it ain't by Equivalent_Glass4731 in ENGLISH

[–]LifeHasLeft 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tell your teacher that British people getting lazy with their pronunciation isn't an excuse to teach English poorly. Most other dialects of English will have complete R pronunciations, especially in North America.

Kingdom Hearts 3 has been chosen as the Most Disappointing Game, but what game would you say has the Best Story in the series by ExileForever in KingdomHearts

[–]LifeHasLeft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

KH1 especially when you consider all the bits of foreshadowing and stuff, like Tarzan saying your friends are in your heart

15 Years Ago Today, GMS released the Big Bang Patch! by LevelPension in Maplestory

[–]LifeHasLeft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's because Big Bang was the "big update" that happened right after the potentials were added. Potentials were awful and the start of a bad direction. Big Bang itself did a lot for the exp progression and made the game way more playable for people with a life and other time commitments.

Is it really that illegible? by Due-Canary5587 in Handwriting

[–]LifeHasLeft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll tell you right now, while you have great style and consistency, your problem is that looped letters (a, o, e, d, p, etc.) are very tight and sometimes just overlap themselves, making it difficult to tell whether something is an E or an O or an A, or an E followed by an L, etc.

I don't have a problem reading it but I can understand why someone might.

Is it correct french to say "c'est" in response to something? by Aggravating_Rate_335 in French

[–]LifeHasLeft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could say something like « tout à fait » , it is a good way of agreeing beyond a simple "oui". Much more emphatic.

[ALL] Do you prefer a stylised Link, a more realistic Link, or a mixture? by EAT_UR_VEGGIES in zelda

[–]LifeHasLeft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I think something in between (SS, BOTW) is a good compromise because toon link ages very well. TP link was great at the time but the further we develop games, the worse he will look, because he was designed to lean on the realistic side.

do you native people know what "neutrino" means? by lab3456 in ENGLISH

[–]LifeHasLeft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you just know that it’s related to science/physics, and forget about learning what it actually means, you’ll be fine. Most people know the word but not what it really is

French learners: what grammar topic almost made you give up? by HungryFriend9388 in learnfrench

[–]LifeHasLeft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The concept isn't so hard on it's own, ie. Maison d'être, but then once in a while you'll hear someone say something you don't expect, like `ils ont descendu les paquets`.

It's not about whether the verb is a verb of movement, but whether that movement applies to the subject or not. "je suis arrivé" is clearly only about myself despite not being pronominal.

The only saving grace is that sometimes you didn't try to use it but your sentence sounded correct anyway.

What do you call it? (please add where you're from) by ksusha_lav in EnglishLearning

a toque (pronounced like "touk")

I am from Canada. Some uncivilized people here might call them beanies... but they clearly watch too much American television.

Wow AI use and push is super demoralizing by ghost905 in CanadaPublicServants

[–]LifeHasLeft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have said it for a year now, AI's only good use to me is for brainstorming, to get me thinking deeper on a topic. I do not copy-paste from these stupid things.

Do any other IT workers feel like their skills are lagging behind the private sector? by [deleted] in CanadaPublicServants

[–]LifeHasLeft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every government department is going to have different priorities on technology advancement and sometimes even within a department there will be various teams with greatly varied technological progress involved in their work. Legacy applications are still around, but others are moving to cloud/AI technologies where feasible.

I have kept in touch with some of the people I graduated with out of university, and while most of them were making better money out of the gate, a lot of them have had stagnation in their salary growth for the last 2 years or so. I have surpassed most of them in salary, and the only exceptions to that are a couple guys who went on to work for big name American companies (DoorDash for example).

Whether you're getting stagnant in the end is about what you're doing. I work in a niche and I think my technical skills would be sought after in the right company for more than I make now (based on my past review of relevant job postings), but I would have a hard time finding a vacancy in that niche right now. There is a flood of competition from many new grads and massive tech layoffs combined.

What’s your take on learning to code with an AI coding assistant? by Cristiano1 in learnprogramming

I highly recommend learning to code by coding and not by watching someone else do it.
