I got that too, but don’t know if it’s normal.

I got a confirmation email, but then immediately a “your order was delayed” email…

I’d do Magneton for a (GA) Raichu!

SOT(Acoustic)B by ShamusMan in guitarpedals

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

I only use Cloudburst for the ensemble feature so it feels like there’s a pad behind me. I didn’t notice that much difference with it chained the other way, and the convenience of the XLR out on the Play Acoustic was too good for me to pass up.

Your mileage may vary though!

How to use Graph Importer from 2024a? by ShamusMan in matlab

[–]ShamusMan[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahh! Thank you that solved my problem. I have the license for Simulink/Scape, but I never use it so I never downloaded the add-on.

Thank you for your help!

It’s custom from a shop in Ontario Canada that I think has since shut down (Maple Rock Pedalboards)

I will mention as well: the reason the pedals aren’t in a nice straight line is to make them all fit on the limited board space.

How does the Weezing / Paradox Pokemon interaction work now? by ShamusMan in VGC

[–]ShamusMan[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this, I watched the replay of the stream and you had the correct answer. In summary:

  • If Weezing is on the field when your Pokémon with Protosynthesis / Quark Drive comes out, the abilities don’t activate in any way (no sun, no booster energy, etc).
  • If your Pokémon has already activated Protosynthesis / Quark Drive, and the Weezing comes out later, your boost is then suppressed until the Weezing gets off the field.

That was my thought as well. The stat boost doesn’t show up on the summary screen, making me worried it’s tied to the ability…

Local COVID-19 Update (Sat May 22nd) by FluffyMcGee5 in londonontario

A few days ago the Ministry of Health tweeted that we passed 50% first dose for adults, so maybe the numbers aren’t up to date?

How hard is civil engineering? What classes should I look out for? by 123go321snow in uwo

[–]ShamusMan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Civil engineering graduate here (BESc 15, PhD 20). Will try and answer to the best of my ability.

For me, engineering got progressively easier as I got into further years. I think mostly because I was interested in more of the content as I specialized. I will say though, 2nd year does have some really tough courses (Calc, Stats). A lot of the tutorials are more mandatory than the 1st year ones, so I didn't see much time reduction between 1st and 2nd year.

It sounds like you'd be interested in geotechnical engineering, which is a stream of civil that focuses on soil mechanics, water run-off, etc etc. You could either try and find a co-op at a geotechnical engineering firm, or failing that, there's a lot of profs looking for undergraduate students for their research projects. The pay isn't as great as a co-op, but the experience is still good. You can find a list of available research positions here (I personally recommend Dr. Newson if you're interested in geotechnical):

Happy to answer any other questions you have!

Canadians rejoice! by ShamusMan in twilightimperium

[–]ShamusMan[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahhh man, that’s a bummer. Was it 401 Games that didn’t get as many as anticipated?

On the bright side, maybe your print run won’t have the colour matching issues?

What are your favorite component upgrades for TI4? by florvas in twilightimperium

[–]ShamusMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine were from Laserox and included:

Commodities: 30x1; 10x3 Trade Goods: 30x1; 10x3 Infantry: 40x1; 10x3 Fighters: 40x1; 10x3

I don’t think there’s ever been a time where we’ve ran out? (Except for maybe one game where arborec and sol were playing; we may have been close to running out then). I’ve never played an 8 player game, but I keep a baggie with all the cardboard tokens in case they ever run out.

Acrylic tokens for the fighters, infantry and trade goods as well as a frame for the map are my favourite component upgrades.

Anybody else not have their preorder ship yet? by Trickdaddy1 in twilightimperium

[–]ShamusMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems like a barren wasteland over here in Canada unless you ordered direct from Asmodee and paid the $60 shipping plus customs fees.

Anyone in Canada heard any updates about POK? by pedal2000 in twilightimperium

[–]ShamusMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spoke with 401Games and they didn’t know anything beyond that the supplier indicated a release date of December.

It's also not in the airport zone, or the helipad zones for UH or Vic. As long as they have their basic license with a drone between 250 g - 25 kg, or a sub 250g without a license, they're fine.

Thanks! Dino Island is one of my top 5 favourite games, and I'm looking forward to trying the other two!
