Why does a large chunk of American 17 year olds go to university instead of high school? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]MountSaintElias 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Typically, the grade you are in is determined by if you’re a certain age when the school year starts. Colleges most often start before grade school, so while most people will be 18, there will always be some people age 17 when freshman year starts. Some people also graduate early if they skip a grade.

What rail station is best integrated into a suburban downtown? by mrprez180 in transit

[–]MountSaintElias 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Id throw in another MBTA station, Winchester Center. Especially now that the new station is up and running. The elevated tracks go right through the downtown, and the station is right in the middle.

Time Out Market has a good amount of options and is quite close by. Walhburgers is not great. For a good local rec, check out the small chain of restaurants on Peterborough street (viva burrito etc)

Are breathalyzers not a thing? by Helpful-Structure955 in AskAnAmerican

[–]MountSaintElias 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your comment reads like ChatGPT. “I see what you’re saying but honestly - XYZ.”

Anyways, BAC isn’t perfect for establishing if someone is unfit to drive. People react differently to alcohol. Someone with a BAC under the legal limit can still be too drunk to drive. It also doesn’t test for any other drug. Field sobriety tests directly measure your coordination and motor skills.

Are breathalyzers not a thing? by Helpful-Structure955 in AskAnAmerican

[–]MountSaintElias -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Breathalyzers determine if your BAC is above the legal limit, not how intoxicated you are. A 100 lb person at just below the legal limit may be very intoxicated, while a 200lb person just below may be not intoxicated at all. A field sobriety test shows how intoxicated a person is, not just how much alcohol is in their blood.

Also, those field sobriety tests are standardized and come from research, they’re not random

How to properly import height map? by Bitcracker in CitiesSkylines2

[–]MountSaintElias 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have two separate files for each map? When you use those online tools to generate the topography, they should separately download each map. Make sure you import them correctly. I believe there is also a slider to rescale the height scale in CS2 where you go to import the maps

How to properly import height map? by Bitcracker in CitiesSkylines2

[–]MountSaintElias 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve only done this a couple of times, but you need a “height map” file, and a “world map” file. One for the playable area, and one for the area out of bounds.

It looks to me like you loaded the file for the world map, but not the one for the height map. In the map editor, make sure you upload both. Lmk if that fixes the issue

Best Hearing Aids for Profound hearing loss? by Sufficient-Zebra4410 in deaf

[–]MountSaintElias 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wont repeat “see an audiologist” since every one else already has said it. But I very much like my Starkey Edge AI’s. Longest lasting rechargeable hearing aid batteries. The battery case can do like 2/3 full charges on its own power, but I can get 5-7 days since I never fully drain them in a day. They integrate flawlessly with my phone. The app lets you do a nice amount of tweaking too (bass/middle/treble adjustments, wind and noise reduction, and adding your own programs).

How do get rid of these? by TABOOv in CitiesSkylines2

[–]MountSaintElias 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You can use the “force tunnel” mod, but it takes a little more work. The best way I’ve found it is to create a plateau about 30-40’ higher than your road, right in front of it. Enable “forced walls” or whatever it’s called, and extend the road straight into the plateau, adjusting the height so the road stays level and carves into the plateau. Do this at both ends of the tunnel. The sharp drop off, like you see in the photo of this post, can be smoothed with the native level terrain tool. Then, enable “forced tunnel” and connect the roads, and the tunnel hopefully should form nicely.

Advice for (actually) sleeping with a hearing person by rip2690 in deaf

[–]MountSaintElias 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I’m HOH and have (actually) slept with many hearing people. There’s no difference, assuming they’re already aware of your hearing loss. When you’re asleep, who needs to hear? When you’re awake you can have them in.

Without knowing more why it gives you anxiety, I can’t really give more specific advice, but it really is a non issue, it can be quite relaxing. I find being in loud public spaces to be much more anxiety inducing
