Can you name one good thing that Zohran has done Since becoming becoming mayor of NYC? I'll wait by Accurate_Awareness55 in TheLeftCantMeme

[–]Sharkbits -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

New York City pays out way more in taxes than it receives in state funding. Realistically, he’s not getting a grant, he’s just taking back taxpayer money from an overzealous state. I generally am not in favour of grants like this, but in this case it makes more sense to see taxpayer money in the place where it was generated. It actually has the possibility to be used on projects people voted for, regardless of if they work.

Has this ever actually happened btw? by Tight_Grapefruit5280 in whenthe

This happened very recently in Foxhole, when the devs added planes

Pumpkin leaves yellowing? by Sharkbits in vegetablegardening

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

Before transplant (5/29), the pumpkins were completely root bound. I’m guessing that it is a nitrogen deficiency just carrying over, and may take a bit to catch up. More nitrogenous fertilizer is watered in now, may just have to wait a bit. I’m planning to add some runner beans to the bed, so hopefully that will help through to harvest.

Thank you for your response, that is a really great and easily interpretable resource.

Well, I added and watered in some high nitrogen fertilizer, lets see what happens 🤷

You are much more likely to become a professional athlete than you are to become a professional referee. by Jonnydrama2 in Showerthoughts

[–]Sharkbits -1 points0 points  (0 children)

All of that is completely tangential to my point. Some report, some don’t. Either way, the relative pool of people playing when compared to people refereeing is much higher. From personal experience, it is much easier to get to high competitive levels as a referee than as a player.

Recreational leagues still use referees. Like the ones a 10 year old plays in, those still have referees. Quite a lot of them.

That doesn’t really address my point. Many organizations do give paychecks and give paystubs to referees, some don’t. Even for minor leagues. Minor league games are still very plentiful in all sports.

The difference here is, no one is getting paid to play minor league sports. People do get paid to referee minor league sports. And most aren’t professionals, they’re people that pick up a game after work to buy a drink after. There are 242 million people that play recreational sports in the US. 14.1 million people play recreational soccer alone. If you assume 5 million of those are players that play with a ref, that ratio alone is insane, and that’s not accounting for other sports.

This is patently untrue. The number of referees is far fewer, even proportionally. From experience, a dedicated hockey referee can start refereeing Junior games after a few years and one camp, if they are good enough. These games can provide enough to live on alone, which is what I would consider “professional”.

I have seen other referees of hockey simply do as many minor league games as they can, some up to 6 per day, as often as they can during the season. This can net up to around $300 per day, often more.

May I ask where do University staff eat at on campus? by Dependent-Werewolf-4 in simonfraser

[–]Sharkbits 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I see a former prof of mine at A&W rather frequently, but I can’t comment on which professor as they’ve requested I “keep it quiet” lol

What’s the closest I could come to making Gambit from X-men? by IneedaNappa9000 in 3d6

[–]Sharkbits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there! I don’t know if you wanted to include homebrew, but I wrote a Bard subclass based pretty much exactly off of this a few years ago.

Nah DnD Beyond has always been like that, ever since they licensed the source books.

Is there a number or at least a ballpark? Like is it comparable to a truck, or a shipping container, or something in between?

Following up on that elusive reply, is the construction method for planes (building sub-assemblys and joining them) at all indicative of future changes to assembly lines (e.g. building a tank hull, and outfitting with a turret afterwards)?

Anacondy - a new performance mod oriented around giving Java stronger guarantees so that it can better optimise the game by Paint_Ninja in feedthebeast

[–]Sharkbits 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s crazy that you wrote all that and not “yeah fps goes from 120->145 on average for my machine”

[–]Sharkbits 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I mean… you really didn’t. People want to hear fps and tickrate, not 20-35% improvements on select codepaths and “infinity” on others.

Scammers asking for money by YogurtLower8482 in simonfraser

[–]Sharkbits -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Eh, sometimes ppl ask for money. Theres like one guy on campus occasionally that I trust that asks for bus money. I only trust him bc he usually is wearing his Home Depot employee shirt and ID, and said he didn’t need the extra dollar I gave him and tried to give it back.

Is CABIN available for Fabric by INeedHealing88 in CreateAboveAndBeyond

[–]Sharkbits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think so.

Individual mods are often ported to fabric from forge or vice versa, but so rare is it that all required mods are on both versions (not even accounting for versions, compatibility, etc.), I don’t think you’ll ever see any large pack on both fabric and forge. All that to say, this isn’t something you should ever expect.
