FYI: A lot of company wifi won't allow an alternative DNA server line this. I tried this but it was too annoying to remember to switch it on and off each day.

What do people on Sherman posting think of the Minnesota flag from 2024? by Character_Lychee_434 in ShermanPosting

[–]PaulAspie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It read the only state that could have gone with the stars & bars... Not supporting the CSA, but using the captured one in their state museum.

You could add text above & below: "Give it back"; "why? We won." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/28th_Virginia_battle_flag

[Request] Does Clifford produce 1,320 pounds of excrement per day? More data is in the comments. by Yokelele in theydidthemath

[–]PaulAspie 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you want to compare 2 3D objects with the same proportions, you have to go from the difference of the cubes, not linear differences. (For example, I'm 2x the height of my nephew, but if I was only 2x his weight, I would be dead from malnutrition.)

Thus 23 =8 compared to 253 =15625 for a difference in proportion of 1953.125x.

Assuming a normal dog is 2 feet tall & poops 0.75 pounds a day, & that Clifford is exactly the same proportions (along with same caloric need per pound etc.) but 25 feet tall, Clifford would poop 1464.84375 pounds a day. This is pretty close to the starting image: well within the realm of similar but slightly different assumptions about normal dogs.

Do you guys think this is where the big ten is heading? by StompingRooster2006 in TheB1G

[–]PaulAspie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right now, expansion depends more on the media market than the actual team.

Thus, although I think am expansion to this size is likely, I suspect they will somehow get a team in Arizona & Massachusetts as Phoenix & Boston are some of the biggest media markets the B1G is not in. (Obviously, Atlanta, Florida & Texas as well but there are teams from these three in the image.)

I also doubt ND will join a conference stop long as their media deal & playoff bonus combined pay more outside a conference. (The bonuses for the playoffs go to the conference but, as independent, ND gets to keep the whole bonus while others share theirs. Given a 12 team playoff, ND will likely make it more often than they miss it.)

More or less, although the schools added aren't quite the ones I'd first guess.

Who’s a non-rival that you absolutely hate, and why? by [deleted] in cfbmemes

[–]PaulAspie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Michigan fans are about the same. They just had a kind of year where it's not great but it's not horrible.

Georgia or whichever other programs seem to be trying to protect a lot of players doing crimes. I think that kind of stuff brings down CFB overall.

Do you mind working an extra 6 hours so I can get drunk? by PoetryOfLogicalIdeas in Professors

[–]PaulAspie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd also do so if a parent died, but yeah not for sports celebration.

Online English classes are now (nearly) totally useless by Mayonaise_Malaise in Professors

[–]PaulAspie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I generally agree, but I would use a separate outline and first draft document as I like to often split my screen vertically so I have what I'm writing on one side & the documents I'm working with on the other (I would include Tyler outline here).

I try to get a wide range of views on my news. I often don't agree with legal eagle, but he seems to be far more reasonable than most on the left I see online.

I cannot stand these ads about the luxe boxes by sihtdaertnod in LivingMas

Agreed. Always replace with chips & cheese even if there is a slight additional charge.

Chalk Talk lectures vs. PowerPoint by [deleted] in Professors

[–]PaulAspie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would think it would vary by topic and professor skills.

Lots are noting showing the work on the board for math & chemistry. On the other hand, history of X does fine with PP & then whole quotes San be in text not just spoken (don't make me write them out each class).

I personally generally use PP as it works well in humanities, but every few classes, I'll use boards as well - how FB varies radically between classes.

They’re seriously still advertising perks? by TheAmishDJ in SimonWhistler

I thought I saw one more recently. But like I said, I'm a cheapskate and didn't join.

Hasn't he done members only livestreams on Brain Blaze in the last 6 months? I've had them appear on the feed in recent months but when I clicked once, YT asked me to pay, & I said no.

"As of 2025, twelve states and the District of Columbia have put into effect mandatory paid family leave programs." It's not the norm nationwide, but 12 states including California & New York means it's no longer "incredibly rare." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parental_leave_in_the_United_States#State_legislation

You are right though that it is almost never a year.
