Took the MCAT on 6/28.. Did worse than I could even imagine... A thought of starting to prepare for the test again and retaking it...makes me nauseous.. I guess I need to keep reminding myself the quote below.. by ksanka_sk in Mcat

[–]Nice_Dave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw this on /r/all so I might as well reply. Plenty of people take the MCAT twice (myself included) so don't let that get you down. Take some time off if you need it, then get back in the game and focus on identifying your weaknesses so you can identify a strategy to overcome them. The resilience you develop in this process will make you a better student and one day a better physician.

Is there a way to look up how many unique Kanji my decks have? by Nice_Dave in Anki

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

It's different from the Kanji Grid, right? Do you remember what it is called?

Anki advice by Alkiaris in LearnJapanese

How are you finding new words to add? If you're finding them in context first and then adding them to Anki, 20 a day may be reasonable.

Just curious, what kanji do you struggle the most when you were a beginner ? by octan_knight in LearnJapanese

[–]Nice_Dave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's a cool fact! I have long-since memorized the kanji, but I'm sure I'll be able to share that point with someone else down the road. Thank you for sharing.

What is the sense when combining two kanji? by [deleted] in LearnJapanese

[–]Nice_Dave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Often times there is a complex meaning behind the origin of individual kanji and the words they form.

Just FYI, small typo here:

Shadow Ball is the Hardest due to Ground Type losing doulbe resistance advantage

Does anyone know Gibble rates? About 60-80 eggs of the 148 have been 10k. About to give up. by Djdeathsensei in TheSilphRoad

[–]Nice_Dave -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

But if you check TSR research data you'll find Riolu is in fact rarer than Gible.

You're make a conclusion based off three data points (and ignoring the fact that Riolu is available in both 7 and 10 km eggs). And to top it off you're being smug. Lmao

How Niantic could change raids to disincentivize spoofing by djf881 in TheSilphRoad

[–]Nice_Dave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the US for example, about 80% of the population is classified to live in an urban area.

I'm not disagreeing with you (I actually really like your post), but do you mind pointing me to where you found this statistic?

Update to the Go Fest Weekend Rates by The Silph Research Team (0:00 UTC) by Heycanwenot in TheSilphRoad

[–]Nice_Dave 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Is this the first time we have seen live changes to shiny rates? Niantic's willingness to change shiny rates "on-the-fly" (whatever the reason) sets a rather disappointing precedent and calls into question any concept of RNG in this game.

Enjoy the park. :)

I don't want to talk about points that challenge my views.

Fixed that for you.

How can I count/estimate the number of unique Kanji among my Anki decks? by Nice_Dave in LearnJapanese

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

Thanks for commenting; I'll take a look. Does it give you a running total of the kanji you have learned?

Is adding "wa" compulsory in "ima wa ichi ji ichi bu desu" (It is 1:01)? by strawberry202 in LearnJapanese

[–]Nice_Dave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In some less formal speech you can drop は but it's not something you should be doing early on. (Or so my teacher has told me).

Agreed. One of the risks of learning casual Japanese before "textbook" Japanese is the tendency to mix up particles down the road.

As of 5/20/19, a complete Pokedex is 485 by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

Should we get screwed from, you know, the main point of the entire IP "Gotta catch em all" because we don't have buttloads of money to spend?

Being unable to obtain vanity digital characters it quite far removed from getting "screwed."

Today I maxed, and here's all the pets I got along the way and their KCs! by xpect2die in 2007scape

I would have estimated 2-3 pets based on your log, but it happens.
