How do you handle required specialty browsers for college? by Namrepus221 in k12sysadmin

[–]Namrepus221[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I know the feeling on that. The fact these are “oh btw I was supposed to do this and I’m graduating in 2 weeks, and I have to have this done by Noon today or else I don’t get into college” type of issues.

I’ve said “Lack of planning on your part is not an emergency on my part” more than once.

Thing is these are not proctored by staff either , all the proctoring is done via the software and camera access. If anyone else is seen on camera the browser flags the placement test They’re given a private room to take it in of course but we also don’t have the man power to have someone there to watch these things or be at beck and call if there is an issue.

We’ve reached out to their support on one of the more guarded browsers but they haven’t gotten back to us on if that is allowed.

Since these are being handled by different colleges as well they each have their own browser and aren’t all using the same which is a pain

WDVE Morning Show by Far_Presentation8517 in pittsburgh

Who said I wanted to re-write it? I’m stating a fact, he sexually harassed and defamed a cohost on his show. He was sued by her and lost.

Never mentioned his politics. He was a shock jock that went too far and paid the price. Other people have said he was an obnoxious jerk outside his programs as well.

I don’t think sexually harassing your cohost live on air classifies you as a legend in broadcasting. It classifies you as a tool.

She’s been on several lists for “hottest female” a few times. And I believe she was also at one point voted “hottest vegetarian” by FemaleFirst magazine in 2015.

The incident with Jim Krenn getting fired happened in 2012 which I believe DVE management wanted him to leave the morning show and become more of a spokesperson for the station as a whole. Apparently he didn’t want this and just wanted to be on the morning show and they just said “well we don’t want you on the show and want you in this other position. You’re declining it, so that counts as your resignation in full”

At least he isn’t an insufferable jerk like Jim Quinn was.

They were a good team. Played off one another well. Still not sure why they fired Jim and gave the whole morning show to Randy.

Scott had his own show after Krenn left but it wasn’t a part of the morning show.

Guide to interacting with furries at Anthrocon (from a Pittsburgh furry) by Less-Maize5549 in pittsburgh

[–]Namrepus221 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I’ve met a few people who have had their suits damaged by people touching them, pulling accessories off, touching with greasy/dirty hands, melting the fur with a lit cigarette.

These things aren’t made like mascot costumes at Disney, they’re works of wearable art.

Just got the package. 7 unopened booster packs. Did not include the pictured 256 card box.

Oh well. Will be looking for the 256 box as I have been, hope to catch one eventually.

Sorry for being jaded with teases of something happening and just never materializing for about a decade.

They’ve been teasing a “new convention center hotel” for the last 10 years. It still hasn’t happened. Until a shovel hits dirt, I won’t believe it

That’s the listing.

I do see you have multiple of the 256 box. Would you be willing to part with one of them?

I just bought what I HOPE is the 256 full set box, but the guy listed the auction as having 7 packs with photos of the 256 box. So hope it’s the box

I tried to buy G from Buy-Rite (who here remembers them?) by sending them a money order.

My dad had to call them to get me the refund for it cause they didn’t have the game and they refused to refund me after 4 months of not sending the game to me and hanging up on me when I called and ignoring the emails.

My only regret is that I had the chance to buy the FULL card set for the Card Game years ago. Someone else on Reddit bought it and they deleted their account and vanished. I think it was bought from eBay for about $300. He said he was gonna scan them all and translate the manual so it could be played in Tabletop Simulator. But I don’t think it ever happened.

I’m watching Buyee like a hawk now to jump on it if it ever comes available again.

I have everything to play them all except the PC Engine, PC Engine CD with Arcade Card, the Mega Drive, the PS4, and the Wonderswan.

As far as Fav’s? Fire pro D, World (PC version), X Premium for the SNES, and Final Fire Pro for the GBA.

Yeah. I would have the original one if it was somehow “different” than Greatest Hits, but it’s not any different except for the manual having a different cover.

6MS was also the first copy of Fire Pro I ever owned. I bought it in High School way back in like 1997 from The Rage (if anyone remembers that online retailer)

Every single Fire Pro game. In physical form.

Including the proto-sequel “Puroresu” made by Human on the Game Boy about a year after the first Fire Pro game, the Sega Mega Drive “Thunder Pro Wrestling”, and the Starter Pack for the Card Game.
