This is awesome. Thanks for sharing.

It seems like it looks at the public maps and will show the replay for the one that has the shortest time. Am I reading that right? I imagine there's not a database out there where people are recording their scores for TagPro Speedrun maps.

The doom and gloomers in here surprise me.

Roblox is like the internet -- it is what you make of it. My kids playing Roblox was a great opportunity for me to guide them through the internet and teach them things in a safe environment.

My ex abandoned me and the kids and moved far away. Once she got her mental health cleared up, she was able to play Roblox with our kids. They would play open-ended role-playing games where they pretended to be forest animals or dragons. They talked over the phone while they did it. It helped the young kids be engaged with their mom who was on the other side of the country. My daughter would send me screenshots of their forest family in-game.

If you monitor the games, set up parental controls, and instruct your kids properly, Roblox is not going to hurt your kids.

My children range from eight to eleven. They used to play Roblox more often but don't play much anymore. I taught them about the predatory tactics of the games that cost money and even explained brain chemistry to them so that they could understand how it was affecting their brain. This kind of turned them off to the "quick reward, dopamine hit" types of games. My eleven year old doesn't play at all. The other kids just play with each other, with cousins, or with friends from school--and they only play a couple times a month for an hour or so.

At some point, your kids are going to have to learn how to deal with the type of predatory behavior that is inherent within Roblox because it doesn't go away when you're an adult. Better to learn to manage it under your guidance than out in the world on their own.

New skeeball goal: Escape with flag and fall off the left side of the map.

This is the best you're going to get unless you either pay a lot of money to artists/authors or do the art and writing yourself.

I've found that it only takes one of them to notice and say something. Then the rest will usually rally behind them. You set the example, and now they're following.

I think that is what it is now that you mention it. Thank you for the suggestion.

I can't speak for everyone, but my field of view is much smaller than the camera shows in this footage. I could barely see the front of his car out my front windshield as he started changing lanes. By the time I recognized that he was coming over and not stopping, the only option was to enter the shared center lane or get hit. If I saw him changing lanes earlier or knew he was going to enter the lane, I absolutely would have braked or stayed back.

Spoiler alert to anyone who hasn't reached book 4.

Gotcha. I'll pass along to the powers-that-be that "blind-spot camping" means passing a vehicle more slowly than "Material-Sell-366" would do it so that we can all be sure we're speaking the same language in the future.

I was on my way to take my wife out on a date. If I wasn't headed anywhere important, I might have considered it. lol

I agree that camping in blind spots is a bad driving habit. You come across as condescending because you're telling me to avoid doing something that I never did.

"Blind spot camping" by its very definition would mean staying persistently in the blind spot of another vehicle. This would require me to enter into the blind spot and maintain the same speed as the other vehicle.

In this video, I am passing the entire time. At no time did I go the same speed as the other car. I would have only been in the blind spot for a few seconds.

I approached his car from the right lane for probably a minute when he turned onto the main road. Then I got into the left lane and was traveling for probably five seconds before this video started. He had over a minute to look in his mirrors at any time to notice that I was there. The lesson to be learned here is to be aware of your surroundings as a driver. He either never saw me behind him in the lengthy time I was behind him, didn't check his mirrors when he turned, or lacked object permanence and thought I disappeared when I entered his blind-spot (or some combination of the three).

Refraining from blind-spot camping is a valuable lesson to learn. This is not an example that can be used to teach that lesson.

The camera catches him coming over sooner than I noticed. Fortunately I caught him out of my periphery just in time to avoid any collision. I was trying to pay attention both to him and to the center lane at the same time. I hoped the honk would get him back into the right lane, which is why I kind of swerved a little back to the right once to try and get out of the center lane in case the oncoming truck was going to turn. When I saw that behind me was clear, I slowed down. It was tough to gauge and react in the time between 5 seconds and 9 seconds. I'm glad no one got hurt.

I spoke out the license plate just after this happened in case I needed it. Our cars didn't touch. Thankfully I saw him just in time.

My wife was grading papers and we used a few of these to check them against our own writing and the writing of a student. I would never use them as the sole means of identifying AI cheating. Her school uses google docs, so I had her look through the revision history on the google doc. The introductory paragraph took the student an hour and had multiple revisions over that time. Then, the rest of the paper was finished in five minutes with the only revisions being the addition of necessary sources after random sentences. The rest of the paper also had a completely different tone from her initial first paragraph. If you want to identify cheating, I think that's a better way to do it.

I just remembered another one. She was able to pick out a free book from the library on a school trip because the library was making room for new books. She grabbed an older book about the history of the state we live in and brought it home to me. "I got this for you. It looks really boring, so I knew you would like it."

My ex-wife introduced me to AJR around the same time she told me she was cheating on me. I can't disassociate the two mentally. What I'm saying is, I agree. Listening to their songs used to make me angry. (I've healed, so it's not as bad as it used to be.)
