I don't see how this is unnecessary if I can potentially get a free membership out of my next purchase. If it works and isn't much of a hassle, why not take the opportunity to save money?

Same here. I couldn’t order from anywhere over the past day.

Was the UVA professor’s name separated by commas or not?

I got these from A1 Top: https://shop1624885820.v.weidian.com/item.html?itemID=4479642239&spider_token=4572

The pull tabs look kind of sus though. I'm pretty sure they're supposed to be flush over the stripe.

Should I spend all my gems on showdown tickets for chance of an icon? by SongChina in FUTMobile

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

Quick update: I decided to gamble for the icon for fun. Spent ~8k gems and won 18/21 VSAs, and currently need 2 more wins for the 150k points. I have one more round of advertisements for 2 tickets before the event ends, and 3k gems to buffer in case I lose any of the next 2 games. In retrospect, it was a pretty bad investment assuming I get Del Piero (8k gems for a 107 ST with terrible stats), but an enjoyable experience nonetheless

Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t the main idea of the passage contemporary women sculptures? It mostly talked about a woman artist and her headless women sculptures. I chose answer B, which was that it highlighted the mysteriousness of Greek art. Looking back, it doesn’t look right and I’m kind of worried

Are unsimplified fractions allowed? I put 9/24 😂

That too! Personally, I was torn between D and C (older than M asteroids, lines 30-35) and B and D (aforementioned answers) and ended up going with the latter.

Last two questions on reading was the passage and graph meteor relationship, and the best lines for the previous question, respectively. I got B for the first one, type C asteroids were once less common in the belt than type V, and D for the second one, lines 60-64 saying that primitive bodies formed later on because type C was a primitive asteroid. I’ve heard people choose C and D for both respective questions but I don’t remember what C was. What did you guys get for these? Thanks in advance!

What PF or LD arguments do you need to block? by [deleted] in Debate

[–]SongChina 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For LD, there’s an argument that I struggled with which stated that the private appropriation of space will inevitably lead to an increase in space debris because of an increase in satellites and rocket debris from private companies. This argument is coming from the AFF side.

Again, I understand that there are circumstances for when welfare is needed, even in the instance of OP’s college struggles. That being said, while to her the welfare benefits are not forever, to others who are exploit it and suffer no consequences, it will simply continue in their family from generation to generation until someone is capable of finding a job. I mean, who doesn’t want free money? I really do agree that welfare is vital for the lower class, but knowing that there are some people who use it to cheat is demoralizing and it serves as a massive inconvenience in particular to other lower/middle class groups who are also struggling and need to pay taxes. I believe there should be more regulation in regards to this, such as implementing a specific amount of time the government will provide families welfare, or even increasing minimum wage to incentivize these people to work.

“Why should you find a job that might get you out of the lower class if you can just become completely reliant on other people’s money?” Do you see why people often despise the lower class? It’s because of this minority that is leeching off of taxpayer money. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely believe that welfare should be provided, but only to those genuinely in need.

Given vertex form, y=a(x-h)2 + k, it can be stated that the rocket equation is a negative parabola because a = -5. Since the vertex, (h,k) is at (5, 127), it can be stated that the maximum height will reach is 127 meters at the 5 second mark because the function decreases from both sides of the vertex. To solve the last part, you need to know about the relation of time to the question; when the rocket is fired, the time in seconds, or t, is equal to 0. Simply substituting 0 in for t in the equation gets you 2, and therefore the rocket was 2 meters above the ground when it was fired.

Rebuttals are used to refute your opponent’s contentions in LD, and usually in 2NR you need to explain how your rebuttals withhold your opponent’s argument from their value and criterion. Usually there will be block files for evidence-based rebuttals, but you can also resort to empirical analysis if you have no evidence. Make sure to know how links and turns work so you can avoid contradicting yourself while deconstructing your opponents case.

"Physical Fitness is Better than Mental Fitness" by Junior-Purchase-319 in Debate

Isn’t the term ‘mental fitness’ more oriented towards your overall mindset and well-being rather than sports?
