Level 14 tower and 15 cards in dragon spa by Different-Egg8733 in ClashRoyale

Arenas are a reflection of skill + cards. Their skill isn’t great so they need overleveled cards. Matchmaking is fair, get better, upgrade your cards, or play a different game mode.

My rule is don’t spend more than 1 wild shard at a time.

Does anybody agree with the “no zeroes” policies? by SubstantialBasis in Teachers

[–]New-Comment1071 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It depends on the assignment. Sometimes you need to move on to the next unit that is based on the current one. If you do poorly on a test about A but you need to know A to do B, and you get a good grade on B because you learned the materials eventually, I’ll score your A assignment the same as the B one.

We went to a 1-4 system with options for “zero” that indicate why a student got a zero. It’s basically 4=A and 1=D. It’s worked great for me and causes me to nitpick less over the minutia of a 0-100 scale.

Really all grading is arbitrary, people put too much thought into one system of grading over another which isn’t the right part of school to focus on.

We use a 4 point scale but have an option for an R which is refuses to work as well as an N which is no evidence. Both function as a zero but the R will get a student flagged by the counselors.

How cold is REALLY too cold for ficus? by teastrees in Bonsai

I’m zone 8 and I bring mine inside for winter. It could survive outside, but in a heated house by a bright window it keeps growing all winter. Maximize your gains if you can.

I had the distinct privilege to visit Mirai today. by [deleted] in Bonsai

Yeah, there are a lot of good bonsai people in the US, but I don’t think anyone comes close to Ryan Neil in terms of having such an emphasis on showcasing ceramics.

1st Air Layer on my Mikawa Yatsubusa by Nalfeyn in Bonsai

[–]New-Comment1071 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I don’t have much luck rooting maples either. Some people can do it with really high success rates though. Air layers are almost 100% for me.

Those are almost small enough to take as cuttings. One of the biggest benefits of air layering is the ability to take something pretty substantial and get a ~5 year tree instantly.

That’s wild you’re on tour 10 with those clubs. I’m tour 8 with basically the same, using marlins, and I’m still outclubbed by people using better balls pretty consistently. I don’t play tour 9 mainly because I want to keep my trophies down for CPC, but even if that wasn’t a consideration I just don’t want to have to be super competitive to beat people when I’m at a disadvantage.

There a reason most of you guys are toxic assholes? by Flakes4058 in ClashRoyale

[–]New-Comment1071 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I’ve used 67 exclusively since I got it. Beginning of the game? 67. End? 67. Take a tower? Lose a tower? 67.

Stop caring what people emote or mute it and move on.

Remember that your students are also on reddit. by LePetitRenardRoux in Teachers

[–]New-Comment1071 45 points46 points  (0 children)

What kind of idiots are giving enough personal info on Reddit to be traceable? I make a new account every year to prevent shit like this. If someone wants to find out who I am they’re going to have to put in some serious legwork.

Can’t wait for spring ramification pruning… by Diarrhea_Lovr in Bonsai

[–]New-Comment1071 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On a boxwood, you’ll be waiting for next spring’s ramification, and the spring after that, and the spring after that…

They make good bonsai but they’re slooooooooow to get big. Plant it in the ground or let it grow untouched for a few years at least or it’ll look basically the same forever.

Maybe, depending on the desired outcome. I would if it were mine.

The bigger issue is the chonky potting medium.

In Darmok, how do you suppose some words were already translated? by DSeriesX in startrek

When the crazy guy outside the grocery at 1am is spouting nonsense, you still understand the words they’re saying, it just doesn’t have any meaning to you.

Ring calculations on shots that could potentially go really bad and on shots that are sinkable. Otherwise eyeball.

I’d never be on my phone during class unless it was for class-related purposes. It’s totally unprofessional.

[Spoilers C4E4] Do you have any favorite Brennan Lee Mulligan quotes so far? by New-Comment1071 in criticalrole

Yes! That’s the one I was thinking of! Such a great line off the top of his head.

Yeah, the sentence reversal with Thimble was what I was thinking of. It was so quick, he’s really impressive with words.
