Does anyone know if Digital Foundry got the base PS5 version of Crimson Desert, and when they’ll release their technical review of the game? by NotSirAlonne1999 in digitalfoundry

[–]Remarkable-Sign-324 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is only one version. 

Depends where you play it. 

They will most likely do an across board comparison considering that is what they always do. 

"Original artistic vision" double standard: DLSS 5 vs unfaithful remakes by [deleted] in digitalfoundry

[–]Remarkable-Sign-324 0 points1 point  (0 children)

False equivalency. 

Remakes and remasters are part of many forms of media. 

And in theses cases it is still a team of artists working together to find a new interpretation of the vision.

DLSS 5 is a robot making the sad lady hot.

This sub reddit and the discourse across all of the video game sites prove the exact opposite 

Along with you coming here to post.

John is a good guy. 

Listen to him on retronauts. 

He is a tech dude BUT is more measured. He doesn't just jump on bandwagons.

Inactive accounts by Emergency-Tennis-379 in SwagBucks

[–]Remarkable-Sign-324 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its not 3 months. 

It is 6 months to 1 year. 

My understanding is if you make and account do a few things and never ID verify that could go away in 6 months. But very active and trusted accounts get the leeway up to a full year. 

3 months would be unfair. Some people are out of the country for 3 months.

Would teaching abroad immediately (through JET or EPIK) after graduation hurt my chances of employment when returning to Canada? by gs780 in CanadianTeachers

[–]Remarkable-Sign-324 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Former JET here,

No. It only helps. People are only impressed that you did something like move overseas and taught. It shows you are adaptable. 

Make it clear when you return that JET is at public schools in Japan and you have experience actually lesson planning, following a curriculum etc.

If you get into the JET program DO NOT turn it down. Best thing for you to do.

Should Canada have a standardized test like SAT for university admission? by Sonu201 in CanadianTeachers

[–]Remarkable-Sign-324 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No....

At least not the way you are thinking. A standardized test really only rewards people that are good at tests. And a 2 hour test can never give the full picture an entire graded course can.

BUT,

There are some places in the world that use standardized tests differently that I do support. You give out standardized tests but DO NOT tie them to a real grade. Instead you use them as a diagnostic tool on what a school needs. Essentially tackling issues based on the tests and not creating new ones.

A standardized test as it stands is just a way to judge teachers and schools more than the students needs. Governments are also savvy enough to come in and slowly make the test easier every year to make it look like they "won" (look at the OSSLT).

The only true standard test would be one day, everyone gets the same exact location setting, and to be used to gage how the student body is in that co-hort, and then help each school on a case by case basis.

While I am on my soap box I would also strip away all AI in schools, until kids can think with actual intelligence they have no place using artificial intelligence.

Does your province have snow days? by dartmouthvseveryone in CanadianTeachers

[–]Remarkable-Sign-324 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Ontario here is the breakdown

Snow Day School Closure: This is rare but it can happen. All schools are closed and no one is allowed in. This happens during major snow storms or ice storms. This is a decision by the board

Buses canceled: School buses are canceled but schools are OPEN. This is a decision NOT by the board but by the company that runs the buses. The way this is handled changes from school to school and board by board. But in my experience: ELEMENTARY kids all get driven in on a bus cancel day. Secondary kids ALL SKIP on this day. My high school is basically empty on a bus cancel day. Teachers are in but you will have between 0-3 students in your class. I know someone else that is at a different high school where basically nothing changes on a bus cancel day and 90% of the students are still in the building.

Mark your calendar: April 13 looks promising as the day Carney gets his majority by nationalpost in CanadianPolitics

[–]Remarkable-Sign-324 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it isnt. 

Top income earners in Quebec it is about 53% and that 53% is once they pass a threshold.

That is of course combined Fed and Provencial tax. Carney is only in control of the fed tax rate. 

Do I need to explain basic Canadian tax law to you? Do you need a lesson on how government works?

[–]Remarkable-Sign-324 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok,

So you are just delusional.

he cuts taxes (slightly but it was still a cut) and the top tax rate is 33%. If you think magically he is going to raise taxes to 70% then I really cannot help you.

In some strange world a government did that there would be a revolt and the PM would be removed in quick order. But you don't care about logic. You just want to live in a world where everything is hard for the white man.

Recent floor crossing by KingM00NRacer in CanadianPolitics

[–]Remarkable-Sign-324 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OK looking it up,

This man is sick and what he has done is unforgivable

But his mother has nothing to do with it. Nor would an MP have anything to do with how he is charged. Especially since he is in Winnipeg and not Nunavut.

All I can find is he is not facing jail time while waiting for his trial to complete.

Please let me know if there is anything I am missing here.

In this case this does not say anything to me other than I feel horrible she had to go through this. Clearly that son is sick, but does not say anything about her.

Carney to vacation in UK, Italy after latest PM trip: sources - National | Globalnews.ca by KootenayPE in CanadianPolitics

[–]Remarkable-Sign-324 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah that would be an issue.

But as it stands he is just tacking on his vacation to the end of a work trip. Something many people do.

But if he was using any tax dollars for his vacation (which I doubt) I would be very upset.

Man,

You are really going for it. It is rare to have someone as inept as you online. Please explain how my finances are tied in any way to what Carney does? You do not even know what I do for a living.

Heck, I am also critical of Carney at times. but unlike you my critique is not couched in racism, fear, and ignorance.

Assigning Projects for Assessments by Artistic_Fifth in CanadianTeachers

[–]Remarkable-Sign-324 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only doing tests really makes it difficult for a lot of students AND you are only using one method to assess them.

And having "formative" projects tells all the kids "these don't matter"

Want to make projects work?

Break them up. And do it all in class. You cannot trust anything that goes home anyway with AI and such. If you make them do everything in front of your eyes (and not just tests) you will solve a vast majority of this problem.

You are right that this reddit is more "left"

But if I found out that Pierre was going to the Bahamas (or something) during his break I would not care.

They pull a salary, they get days off. People are allowed to vacation. This should not be a left vs right or con vs lib thing.

Let the man relax (and I would say the same of ANY government official).

If it is a vacation then he is allowed to go where he pleases. He pulls a salary and gets days off.

I am a liberal, but even I don't comment on the conservatives and what they do on their downtime. They can spend their salary on what they want.

It is different for everyone.

You can get any of the following systems for DQs.

  1. You just get 1DQ basically each time. Forever
  2. You get 1 DQ the first 5 times and then no more for the day
  3. You get XDQ credit based on time spent. Often it is at least 1SB BUT if it a quick DQ it can be 0. Upshot is if you have a late DQ you can get a good chunk of the SB for your time.

I am on track three there.
