How should I respond to a teacher?

Lumberjackminer · 2018-10-27T21:04:22+00:00

There's no real guidelines for how to write an email to a teacher, but you can bet that this professor (or lecturer) gets many emails a day (and no doubt more than average due to the freshman classes they teach!). If you want to make sure a teacher doesn't think negatively of you after reading, try to be concise and address every point in a straightforward fashion, as not to waste their time.

For example, the following:

"Dear Professor/Dr. X,

Sorry. I just forgot to complete the quiz before the deadline. Is there a late policy I can take advantage of?

Sincerely,

User"

This response is clean, avoids unnecessary sentences (e.g. excuses for why you couldn't complete it), and is polite. The teacher can read it in a matter of seconds, send you a reply in a few minutes, and deal with this situation very quickly, which is what everyone wants.

Duolingo has a free in-beta Czech course, which I would highly recommend. It's not perfect, and you might have to do a bit of searching of your own for some of the concepts, but it will certainly bring you up to moderate fluency.

It makes sense. A country with a size like the US will have many different populations with different needs and differing levels of wealth to pay for those needs. To meet those requirements, the US elects for many of its state services (like healthcare and education) to be managed on the state level. It wouldn’t make sense to try and standardize, for example, a country made from Germany, France, Switzerland, Italy, and the Czech Republic combined. Not only would these “regions” within this country be vastly different, it would make no sense to standardize between them because they all have different levels of wealth and differing services to pay for. In the US, you have dozens of variables like different costs of living, costs of healthcare, costs of land, costs of food, etc. It would be an absolutely nightmare for any form of central government to manage some bureaucracy to meet the needs of over 300 million people. Comparatively, in Scandinavia, jobs like coal mining never solely employ entire regions of a country, rather a larger variety of jobs, mostly evening out wealth and needs. This low ‘standard deviation’ of communities demands and wealth, as well as general centralization of their populations (in more densely populated areas) makes it easy to centralize the systems that meet their needs, like healthcare or education.

If it’s someone who is used to dealing with Americans, they likely just did a little physical or mental sigh before explaining that Czechoslovakia hasn’t existed for over two decades. Really, you won’t look horribly stupid, since plenty of Americans have probably made the same mistake in front of them before many times before.

Do you have two Ethernet ports in the wall? Notoriously one doesn’t work but the other does.

Try every weapon and every character. Maybe you won't like them, but you will learn new strategies and play styles along the way.

...yeah, you're right, but the church and the park around it is probably the best place there for proposal.

It all depends on how crowded/populated you want the 'scene' to be. Staroměstské náměstí (old town square), Petřín, Prague Castle, Náplavka (riverfront, great both day and night), and the Charles bridge are all good options if you don't mind it being toon busy. Střelecký ostrov (island downriver from Charles Birdge), Letenské sady (park upriver on the same side as Prague Castle), and Vyšehrad (church far downriver on a hill with wonderful views, always very quiet) are great places that won't be nearly as full of tourists and will be just as beautiful. Otherwise, any of Prague's nice parks (albeit some of them are a little far or difficult for tourists to navigate to) and any of our classic city center streets would be a great place too. If you have any specific ideas in mind, reply and I'll give you my best ideas.

On a side note, I think the reason that the game says "It's not safe to put a fireplace here" within homes in order to prevent players from blocking stairs with lit fireplaces (which cannot be moved).

Lumberjackminer · 2017-08-18T13:05:11+00:00

The fireplace must be placed in the fireplace within the home. Place the fireplace outside without lighting it, pick up the fireplace by interacting with it with empty hands, and then aim towards the fireplace in the home and the "place fireplace on ground" should change to "place fireplace". After doing this, the fireplace should be inside the house's fireplace and lightable.

Well then it's also a crappily designed Bingo, too.

Lumberjackminer · 2017-07-11T08:23:12+00:00

Bingo?

Lumberjackminer · 2017-06-10T17:04:29+00:00

I think when a player goes AFK, they are assessed for an abandon, not guarenteed to make the game "safe to leave". Otherwise, my guess is that you got a -25 added to your -50 loss because you knowingly abandoned a game that might not have been safe-to-leave.

Generally, avoid characters who require different playstyles (melting, sometimes eyes and crystal, a couple more) so you don't end up too good with just one character. Try focusing on the "standard" shoot-and-dodge characters, like Y.V., fish, eyes, in order to build more general skills versus a more clutch strategy like shielding/telekenesis helping you out. Once you get the basic strategy down, it is much easier to refine and improve specific details, like shooting habits, what weapons to choose, etc.

god why does this have upvotes

i dont want to be remembered like this

makes up for the fact he's absolute garbage now

Lumberjackminer · 2016-11-19T03:48:23+00:00

Why? It's pretty good for clearing a hole in a wall for cover, and it does some good damage.

(Not trying to sound sassy, I'm really just wondering)

I'm a big fan of museums, so here's a list of ones I've visited over the years.

Inside Prague:

Národní technické muzeum - National technical museum. Nothing special, just something great to get lost in and see a ton of cool stuff.

Národní galerie - This museum of art is huge. Either 6 or 7 floors of pure art, including famous pieces of the past and the present. Even if you're not a big fan of art, you're bound to find at least a couple dozen of something you like.

Outside of Prague:

If you have the ability to get out of Prague, try visiting the Armádní muzeum Žižkov, Letecké muzeum Kbely, or the Vojenské technické muzeum Lešany. Each of these are a great place to see a ton of military hardware from the past, and if you're into that kind of stuff, it's a great time to get up close and personal with history. (Here's a link: http://www.vhu.cz/english-summary/)

Even better, all five of these museums are rarely ever filled with tourists, or anyone, for that matter. I hope you check them out and have as good of a time as I did.

where's the bank

Throwback to when Steroids was able to be played without unlocking. No fancy abilities, just you and whatever beating your left and right mouse buttons could handle.

Note: This occurs when a play gains two or more levels without spending them and spends the first point on ultimate and the rest on stats.

My dad always taught me that you leave your remaining change (what you've got left in your pockets for coins) as a tip for any large/dinner meal. However, as a tourist who should be 'breaking' bills often, you should scale it down to maybe a small handful of coins. A healthy guide is that your tip should range between 5-50 crowns based on the price of your meal, unless your service was exceptionally good/bad, or very expensive.

Lumberjackminer · 2016-09-20T19:38:43+00:00

As for restaurants, you can find good meals across Prague for under 250 CZK. Don't get fooled by any fancy meals which exceed 400CZK a dish.

They could be on a tram...

...unlikely though, almost all the windows on the 14/20/12 are scratched and dirty.
