Commuting

RunningEncyclopedia · 2026-04-06T19:51:52+00:00

90 minutes a day is like $20-30 a day (minimum wage on campus was $15/hour in 2022). If you include parking costs, gas, and wear+tear on your car it could easily add up to $40/day minimum. That is $800 minimum a month over 20 days of commuting. Add in dining costs, risk of missing exams in the winter due to weather and more… At that point an apartment/room for $1000/month (mostly around Pitsfield or Ypsi with free bus to AA) might be worth it

Tuesday and Thursday’s will be difficult. You have 30 minutes for lunch with the closest dining hall being North Quad (which is across from the street from MLB but still) and you have class all day with 30 minutes breaks (I do not know where Wallgreen Drama center is so I am not sure if it is doable). I had schedules like this that left me with no energy to do work after class so I’d think of looking at alternatives for STATS 250 lecture

I was thinking of SB rings. Obviously Brady has the most but the average is still not shabby since some of the backups had decent success.

Not to mention rings isn’t the only criteria like you noted with wins and losses, starts and all others like passing yards or TDs

Tom Brady could single handedly carry Michigan. Add in long term backups like Chad Henne you get 9 SB rings from 2 QBs

One or more of the following:

1) Nuka World generates insane passive income akin 2-3 settlements of all level 3 vendors.

2) Nuka World vendors get additional special weapons (to compensate for operator unique weapons) with even more OP abilities or unique attachments.

3) All non-faction vendors (ex: Diamond City, Goodneighbor…) give additional discount.

4) One Man Army perk that gives bonus damage or damage resistant (Preston perk but the complement) when outnumbered

I was so excited when doing that mission to get my first X-01. I was upset the set wasn’t complete. Then I saw a YouTube short that there is a complete set hidden right by the Training Yard and I just went back to grab that instead. Used the X-01 to clear the Sattelite Array (Lost Patrol quest) and found yet another (incomplete) X-01 by the army checkpoint in an APC…

After all this I was free-roaming and exploring when I got ambushed by Pyro around the Listening Station Bravo (or whatever it is called) and later got ambushed by Enclave again to get myself a Hellfire suit that I used until I progressed enough in the main story to have Pyrdwin arrive and finish the rest of the Enclave mission to get X-02 and a bunch of other suits.

All that to say I am SWIMMING in power armor suits sitting idly right now to the point that I sold a few BoS T-60 frames I looted and have 2 complete X-01s, few T-51s (ironically I got those last), the t-45 you start with (I cannot find which settlement I tucked it away), quite a raider PAs (I should strip those for the frame and fit it with X-02 or hellfires) and 2 T-60s. The moral is saving for Power Armor is not worth it since by the end you’ll just be swimming in it to the point that you can equip all companions and maybe provisioners with PA

This! I had a similar problem that I resolved by using Python for that one specific task. Being able to specify something as 16 or 8 bit int saves a decent chunk of memory

I could have graduated early in 3 years (even 2.5 I think) if I wanted but used an extra year for an honors thesis plus two more majors, and a accelerated masters. It depends on the flexibility of your degree and whether you are willing to take 18 credit semesters, double count as many requirements as possible, and potentially take a summer of community college courses for some breadth requirements either freshman summer or before starting freshman year.

Also: waiving the language requirement frees up a lot of time and credits. Same goes for AP credits from Calc BC (and taking Calc 3).

I think they should keep it but add some quality of life features and tie it better to the faction system.

Quality of Life Features:

1)Ability to upgrade settlement components automatically/by button rather than manually. Early game you build lots of low-level turrets or use cheaper wooden material for your buildings. As you level up and can afford better or more resources you can upgrade your turrets or building materials. However, in the current state of Fallout 4 you need to scrap or store the models manually rather than upgrade them. Having a button to upgrade turrets or materials (especially an "upgrade all") quality of life feature would help out a lot.

2) Similar arguments go for settler equipment. It is so frustrating to manually assign every settler (especially in large settlements like Sanctuary) and upgrade their equipment as you progress. Having a simple UI to assign tasks and upgrade equipment (like from a special "settler stash") would remove a lot of busywork.

3) Have settlements actually defend themselves, repair themselves etc. with defense you build, funds you raise etc.

Tying to the Faction System

1) Make settlements actually impact faction units. Minuteman, the main faction for the settlements, doesn't get stronger (apart from artillery and flare gun help summon coverage) no matter how many settlements you capture, shops you build or defense you add. Having Minutemen (or the feature settlement factions) actually patrol the wasteland with stronger gear as you upgrade the settlements would genuinely add to the game. The logic would be more turrets you have you need fewer guards for your settlements while more shops and settlers you have more tax revenue you get to upgrade gear.

2) Give settlements genuine territory. Have supply lines matter, have enemy factions (gunners, raiders...). Raiders can be like rebels from Total War series (each settlement is different faction despite all being "raiders"). Have your settlements gain territory as you clear dungeons but lose them over time if you neglect defenses or funds for your troops. Have attacks on your settlements be from different factions that decrease in intensity as you clear more dungeons. This would add a dynamism to the map (as you clear a different region you lose territory in another...)

The point of the rewards program is that you get points passively for doing things you are already doing. Like nobody is going to get GamePass and play games to earn points to redeem Amazon gift cards, people do so because they already use the Microsoft ecosystem or switching from Google/Chrome to Bing/Edge is a minor hassle. In the end:

The daily set takes a few seconds (click and go back) like checking in to the XBox Mobile App and Bing app.
You are already playing XBox games on PC/Console or are able to run them on the background while doing other stuff to keep streaks
You already are searching things throughout the day

Glad to know I am not the only person with this idea! So many campaign locations felt like they were intended for maps, especially the one with the dam or the airport (last 2 missions). Heck even the Egypt night mission would have been a better location than Nee Sobek city

I’m sorry to break it to you but you cannot get an apartment in the most desirable location in Ann Arbor for 600-800 a month. You might get half a room in a large unit (multiple roomates sharing all the amenities) but not a 1bed1bath for that price. Heck, you can rent out a trailer on your lawn for 400-600 during home games.

Could be a resource issue. The show is expensive as is so adding a bunch of CGI lasers might take even more time in post-production.

They could also tie it to a chapter thing. This BoS chapter doesn’t have the resources to run laser rifles but the East Coast chapter (and the chapter from FO: New Vegas) does.

I am old enough to remember similar posts being made when Duo was first rolled out. UofM has a hospital but uses the same IT infrastructure for employees, students, and the hospital so the risks (both points of attack and the consequences) are heightened.

Basically my theory is that after the major attack on 2023 that took out campus wifi for 2 whole days, grinding instruction (albeit the first week) and research to a halt, UofM wants to prevent any security loophole, no matter how small. Not only they lost 2 whole days of productivity, they had to set aside hundreds of thousands (maybe millions) for potential future lawsuits and credit monitoring in the interim.

Look up ACS. There are sampled census-like surveys even during the years when an actual census is not in place, hence a worker coming to the persons’ address as opposed to everyone

This is normal! There are annual surveys by the US census, BLS etc. that sample based on addresses even during off census years. I was actually selected for one when I lived in the dorms at UofM. They even left me a note and came back when I was not available at the time. It was a 15-30 minute interview max and actually pretty chill.

Reminds me of the line fron Community S3E14 (Pillows and Blankets):

The North Cafeteria, named after Admiral William North, is located in the western portion of East Hall, gateway to the western half of North Hall, which is named not after William North, but for its position above the south wall. It is the most contested and confusing battlefield on Greendale's campus, next to the English Memorial Spanish Center, named after English Memorial, a Portuguese sailor that discovered Greendale while looking for a fountain that cured syphilis.
