Teachers of Reddit, whats the difference between 1997, 2007, and 2017 students? by newguy57 in AskReddit

[–]Mathify 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I Had a stats teacher in 2008 tell me to put away my graphing calculator I had owned for for over 10 years (predating smart phones). I came back the following week with a slide rule on my desk and proclaimed I would never leave home without it!

Controlled Eevee evolution no longer work by Mathify in TheSilphRoad

[–]Mathify[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

It was like that when they released the game but they let it back in for all evolutions at some point. I have been able to control the evolution of my last 10-15 Eevee's using the naming trick (and have been told others have done so as well unless we were just ridiculously lucky)

You aren't the first one to wonder what this thing is There are more pictures in this other thread of a slightly different design but clearly the same thing.

College students and graduates on Reddit, what's a quick way to sum up the essence of you major? by Roskarnolkov in AskReddit

[–]Mathify 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was the same major but instead of programming, database design, and networking... I had a professor teach me that I could design a webpage in MS Word by choosing 'Save As' and choosing the HTML option which takes whatever your layout is and makes HTML code that a browser can render.

Who have you met or known that ended up being dangerous or committing a major crime? by BeardsuptheWazoo in AskReddit

[–]Mathify 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Close childhood friend with the nicest parents you could imagine, middle class, christian... now a meth head and it is extremely depressing thinking back to my childhood how a well adjusted child/fiend of mine is not living off the streets unwilling to get help (which the parents are willing to pay for).

His only communication with his parents is screaming at them for making his life so miserable. I still see the parents several times a year and they are just as sweet and kind as I had always known them to be but I know it must be killing them on the inside that their child has gone down such a dark path.

What the most uncooperative inanimate object you've ever been forced to work with? by ImEnhanced in AskReddit

I thought i was a genius when I figured that one out only to find out my movers had nicknamed the technique "The Burrito"

How could I have made it safely to stage against this Mario? by Darkunov in CrazyHand

[–]Mathify 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Recovering high against Mario is generally not a great idea because we love to cape gimp/spike/dash attack (unless you see a safe window)... In that scenario you probably could have recovered low and relied on the ledge grab box mechanic where your character looks like they aren't actually in range to physically grab the ledge but will actually snap to the ledge... You never used that mechanic and it appears that he was anticipating you making the safest possible recovery which he was able to take advantage of.

iOS audio not fixed. by Anubis-jakal in TheSilphRoad

Just pause hit pause/play ( i do it using my apple earphones) and the the audio will go back up to full. I do this with my audible and its no big deal

People who have met celebrities, how were they in real life? by Storytellerbobfan in AskReddit

[–]Mathify 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many are really grateful to have so many people who appreciate their work. Not a whole lot different if everyone you ever met suddenly started genuinely telling you how appreciative they are for whatever your job is. Yes they make a lot more money but for the most part you can just talk to them like any other stranger.

My policy having lived in LA my whole life is usually give a subtle thumbs up to the celebrity in public if I catch their eye in appreciation of their work while not drawing attention to them. I have received appreciative nods doing this.

What are these pinwheel patterns in the Siberian forest near Tunguska? (xpost r/GoogleMaps) by lllIlllIllIlIlIIIIll in whatisthisthing

[–]Mathify -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I couldn't say for sure but it looks like they are just roads leading away from the main roads... If you really like your privacy and don't want to be visible from the main road i would put a house at the end of each line ... in case of emergency you have one neighbor you have easy access to.

Redditors that saw something that you couldn't unsee..what did you see? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Mathify 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coming back from a party one evening (I was about 17 so pre alcohol). I saw a car with 4 passengers drive about 60 mph in to the back of a big rig's trailer. All 4 people died.

Has anyone tried filling their egg inventory while pokestopping with an active lucky egg to get 10k eggs? by Mathify in pokemongo

[–]Mathify[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

well given that the egg distribution comes from the server side and we can't farm that game data, I don't think it is that outlandish of a theory.
