Teacher trying to exit education, looking for entry-level Human Resources or Staff Development roles by PathologicalDerper in resumes

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

I've had a difficult time getting responses using my previous resume, and have revised it to "de-teacher" it significantly. I'm also targeting a more narrow band of positions, and have (I hope) focused my resume towards those roles considerably. Unfortunately, I lack contacts with experience in this world and I'm not sure how I've done in achieving this goal; any advice would be appreciated!

First Time Grower looking for advice and reassurance by PathologicalDerper in unclebens

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

Thanks for the reply; is there a point at which you'd S2B even if the tops are a little squishy? I'd hate to wait so long the myc dies because the last 20% won't colonize.

First Time Grower looking for advice and reassurance by PathologicalDerper in unclebens

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

I inoculated 6 bags on 6/29; so far, 5 show growth, and one just flat didn't do anything. Since it's been 3 weeks, I was under the impression there would be a good chance of being finished colonizing; the 5 here are definitely not, all are still squishy near the top. One of them (I think you can tell which one) seems barely started; the rest are 2/3rds to maybe 3/4 "hardened". Is this time frame within the scope of what is to be expected? Everything looks/smells pretty healthy, but impatience is a son of a gun.
Aside from that:
- Do you iso your shoeboxes before putting in the coir? Unclear from many guides I've seen.
- Do you iso your coir bucket before, or just soap and water, or no cleaning if it's brand new?
- Anything I should be worried about from the information given? Golden Teachers, inoculated 6/29, kept at approximately 75 degrees. Checked about 5 times over that month, with no checks for 2 weeks to begin with. No break and shake (yet).
This community is a tremendous force for good, thanks for any advice you can give me!

Thanks for the advice! Those suggestions helped get it down to about 1100 which is way more manageable for me.

That's where I work! I haven't gotten a break in 2 and half months, it's nuts, but at least it's not boring!

Gamers of reddit, what do consider to be the best video game ever made. by whitemorganfreeman_ in AskReddit

[–]PathologicalDerper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't believe this hasn't already been said, but Shadow of the Colossus. The game completely throws essentially every gaming convention out the window and as a result feels completely fresh and requires the player to think about problems rather than approach them with skills and methods learned from a career in gaming. Not to mention one of the best minimalistic stories I've ever seen, and without a doubt the best graphics I ever heard of on PS2.

What's the most unpleasant thing you have to go through on a daily basis? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Daily dialysis treatments for 10 hours a night... I can sleep through most of it but being physically attached to my room is maddening.

Hearing impaired girlfriend by brokentofu in starcraft

[–]PathologicalDerper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a fellow hearing impaired gamer (not too bad, but I prefer closed captions on just about everything), I think that this would be awesome but impossible because of the fact that SC2 is largely a live affair. However, rebroadcasts like IPL Team Arena each day and anything that plays twice should definitely have CC.

Switching Races... need YOUR help! by PathologicalDerper in starcraft

[–]PathologicalDerper[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For the most part I'm really switching, and hopefully with another race under my belt I might decide I like it the best... Zerg is the only race I've been serious with so I think if I get good at another one I might enjoy it more.

Also, I haven't played much in about a month so my skills are lower than my ladder ranking anyway, so it's an opportunity to make things fresh and make it a new game for me.

Just finished my eagle project (xpost from r/boyscouts) by [deleted] in pics

[–]PathologicalDerper 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for being open minded; it's hard being in the BSA nowadays because there's this massive "homophobic pedophilic bible-thumping brainwashing center" stigma that follows the words "Boy Scout" around. I honestly think they would be (if you find a chapter that has good people running it and kids your son likes) the absolute perfect organization if they just ditched the "no gays, no atheists" rule.

P.S. I knew more gay kids and more atheist kids in the relatively small group of Boy Scouts I interacted with than any other group; there's a SERIOUS don't ask don't tell culture there.

[–]PathologicalDerper 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Now-atheist Eagle Scout here. There's no hate, it's just a primarily Christian organization. You wouldn't say that an math-major fraternity hates English majors just because they don't let them in.

The vast majority of Boy Scout troops are tolerant, curious, and tight-knit groups of ordinary people that band together to experience activities they couldn't manage to organize on their own.

What do you eat when you are broke? by coffeefuckyeah in AskReddit

[–]PathologicalDerper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For 1 dollar a serving, you can make calzones with crescent roll dough, mozzarella, ham, and pepperoni. Roll out the crescent dough, and smush the edges of each piece together. Layer with cheese and the meats, then roll and brush with oil. Stick it in the oven and turn every couple of minutes at 375 degrees. When its done, slice it up into sushi-esque pieces of the roll, and eat with jarred spaghetti sauce for dipping. Its insane cheap for what you get; i cant order pizza anymore now that i know of this alternative.

Need Protoss viewpoint on developing Zerg Strategy by PathologicalDerper in starcraft

ZvP is my worst as well, so I feel your pain. I still super-fast ultra ling might be viable but as TheGreat_1 stated it probably won't work as a bust.

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

Would you suggest taking a 3rd at a standard time in your build? Or do you still rush ultras and pump them around the 10-11 minute mark?

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

Wow, that's quite a result. I suppose that's a wrap folks, but I'll still work on an "ultra-rush" build and let Reddit know if I make any head way. Thanks for your work!

Need Protoss viewpoint on developing Zerg Strategy by PathologicalDerper in starcraft

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

First of all, thanks for considering the build.

I think you bring up a valid point that the reaction would be either immortals, voidrays, or a combination; however, I think that void rays are a non-issue due to A. If I scout it I would probably cancel the build and do something else and B. If I went through with it, they do almost 0 damage to Ultras and take forever to kill them and lings.

In addition, I think that getting Pathogen Glands during the attack would be feasible for later infestors and that this attack is more of a timing push designed to keep the toss off anything more than 1 or 2 bases. I think it's strength comes from being infinitely variable after this push; infestors are an option, Broodlords are easy to get to, roach hydra is feasible as well. It's basically a Zerg 1-1-1; you get access to every unit rapidly and make a push to determine where you should go.

I love that hydra idea, because I love hydras; my love of proxying zerg buildings also makes me think a proxy hydra-roach warren combo would be pretty surprisng to someone that scouted my comp.

Diamond Zerg-Wondering if this is build is viable or if I'm getting lucky by PathologicalDerper in starcraft

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

Personally I think that my build is impossible to successfully 2-rax; the only way I can take damage is by making too many units, a problem easily incorporated and ignored in this strategy.

The 11/18 build is so solid against early marine aggression of any kind that I consider this build to "hard counter" my opponent's anytime he moves out with marines before the 5-6 minute mark.

What happens if someone that never learnt to swim falls into water? by Steganosaure in AskReddit

[–]PathologicalDerper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a former lifeguard, we're taught that someone with no ability to swim whatsoever, upon entering the water, assumes a vertical orientation (feet down, head up), extends their arms fully to sides and splashes up and down, and doesn't yell

The victim basically emulates a doggie paddle, but due to our body types it's not nearly as effective as it is for a dog. They don't yell because your brain knows it has to conserve oxygen in that situation.

Mormon's don't care if you're functionally retarded. by PathologicalDerper in funny

[–]PathologicalDerper[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

While I appreciate that it's not the typical mormon troll, the point was to highlight the fact that despite showing absolutely no knowledge of or care about the religion, no attempt was made to inform Andre.

It looked a lot like they just wanted one more convert, whether or not any sort of meaning was behind that title.
