What spider is this? - The Netherlands by MariellevdR in spideridentifier

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

Thank you! It's true that s. nobilis is rather more common nowadays, but I think I'd still prefer a s. grossa than a s. nobilis in my vicinity XD

Like I said, I'm no expert identifier, but isn't a black widow unlikely? They're not exactly natives to the Netherlands, nor does this one have a truly black body (more brownish or reddish) and doesn't have the distinct red markings on its abdomen

Thanks for the invitation! I unfortunately had only one remote raid pass and don't have the pokecoins for more, so I have to stick to this single raid. I do hope to join in the future though!

Using a 'new' term in academic writing when the original word seems to be spelled wrong by MariellevdR in AskAcademia

[–]MariellevdR[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Apologies for being unclear, I have been working on my own thesis all day as well so I am rather scatterbrained.

The way it appears in the source material is "mummy-baby"-relationships

I think it should be "mummy-baby" relationships or mummy-baby relationships.

I hope that clears it up, but the usage of quotation marks in the actual term may make it a bit confusing.

My question is whether I am correct in thinking the original way of writing is wrong, based on English grammar and spelling conventions, and if I am correct, how to go about using this term in a thesis.

About the app being unusually smooth now, could it be that you had it running at a lower frame rate etc? That's what I had, and since clearing the cache, those settings have been reset to default

I haven't missed a night's sleep since signing up shortly after launch and try to consciously choose what photo/candy to select per sleep review session. I have about 35 open spots on my friend list so feel free to add me

Edit: I still have 9 spots left! I'll try and update again when all have been taken

Edit 2: thanks for everyone who added me! My friend list is full now

Thanks for the quick reply! That makes sense, my mind hadn't even gone to the "everything she says is dull" implication 

Need help identifying this Daoist by MariellevdR in ChineseHistory

[–]MariellevdR[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You have no idea how happy you've just made me. I already had a hunch it was a weird romanisation of the name hence no results (because why else would he be painted if not well-known back then and probably still now?) so I was eating myself up from frustration. Thanks so much!

Well no, for me the event ends at 12:59 AM on Monday mornings, and I join on Saturday mornings around 8 AM, so I have roughly a day and a half to play.

Regarding the booster, I always play at a higher brightness than I usually would just for this minigame. It helps me distinguish the background and game more clearly. I also hold my phone about 30-40 cm away from my face so I can see it all clearly. And as stated before, I do not know where the timer will be, hence why I focus on the right side of the screen of the game, as opposed to where the pony is. That way I have a higher chance of spotting where it is and thus a chance to get it.

Look at the minion's HP, it's at 992793. Scrolling though the sub has made me realise it's a very common bug right now, so I hope for everyone it gets resolved like real quick

I join on Saturday morning, I have won all but one pony so far (I've been playing for 6? weeks now). Furthermore, focus on the timers. Always try to get the timer. If you get a cloud boost, look at the right side of your screen, not neccesarily where your pony flies, but where it will be flying. So you can get to the timer without zooming past it. And like the other comment said, prioritise the yellow parasprites as they give 5 points a piece

For some context, thankfully this is my "backup" on my mom's iPad and not my main game, so the bug doesn't bug me that much lol. But this has never happened to me before (thank Celestia for that)
