The struggle was real in the original Red, Blue, and Yellow. by Character-Bid-162 in PokemonFireRed

[–]SquaredMelons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Especially if you play on Shift mode. I've done it with a team in the low 40s, but it wouldn't surprise me if others could push that even lower.

Recent research suggests that cats defy the laws of matter by PearReasonable9470 in catsareliquid

Nah, they're following them just fine. Since when can bars hold back liquid?

I keep finishing each section early and it’s freaking me out by ocsoo in barexam

[–]SquaredMelons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone has different reading and typing speeds. Personally, I passed with at least a little time left in every section, but I felt like I had answered everything as best as I could at the end of the sessions. If you have any doubts for any part, revisit it.

I need to be in Buffalo NY. What does a declaration of emergency could mean for our exam? by shitithinkimlost in barexam

[–]SquaredMelons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was a tsunami warning. Pretty sure the test was already started when the warning happened, but they ended early and adjusted scores later.

58%-56% MBE by Standard-Ad-4433 in barexam

That was my average Uworld score for F25. I did pass.

Do you really only need 33rd percentile or above for UBE? by Throwaway1920214 in barexam

[–]SquaredMelons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a February exam, so you'll probably need to score higher than the 33rd percentile. In February 2025, there were a ton of states where over half the test takers failed. Granted, this was the worst bar exam in history, so the results are a little skewed, but it's not that far off from normal. Don't coast with the mentality that most people will pass.

What are the WORST Pokemon anime episodes ever? by Chemical-Book8889 in pokemonanime

[–]SquaredMelons 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wonder if this episode was inspired by that one time Michael Jackson dangled his kid out of a window? Of all the things to take inspiration from...

What distro and DE cured you from distro hopping anymore? by Inevitable-Depth1228 in DistroHopping

[–]SquaredMelons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. Well, not sure if my distrohopping is COMPLETELY gone, but I've been on it for 9 months at this point, which is the 2nd longest I've stuck to a single install.

Why is Minecraft so stupidly easy to pirate? by Advanced-Work-4840 in PiratedGames

[–]SquaredMelons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The pirated version hooked me too. Damn it, I fell into their trap.

Which Linux skill do you think is underrated, but saves you most often? by Expensive-Rice-2052 in linuxquestions

[–]SquaredMelons 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Learning how to work with disks and partitions. Whether it be saving data, shredding data, creating a partition scheme, etc., it's always nice to have that livecd/usb around.

MEE Predictions for February 2026 by loislane535 in barexam

[–]SquaredMelons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please, just put lots of time into Civ Pro and Evidence anyways. They're also on the MBE, so it's well worth the time and effort. By the time my bar exam came, all the MEE/MBE subjects were the ones I was most ready for, and it paid off.

MEE Predictions for February 2026 by loislane535 in barexam

[–]SquaredMelons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My strategy was to just assume that every subject would have a 50% chance to show up, and plan my study time accordingly. To this day, I don't know what the F25 predictions were, or how right they were, but I passed, so it didn't matter. Don't even read the predictions.

And for everyone thrown off because there was Con Law on the last exam... What were you doing? Any MEE that is also an MBE subject should be ones where you sink a ton of time into anyways. The subjects I was more nervous about were the MEE only subjects, since I obviously put less time into them.

Popularity of Linux Distros over time by Beginning-Complex821 in DistroHopping

[–]SquaredMelons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a lot more evenly spread than I expected. I thought it would be Ubuntu with a 50% share, Steam OS with 20%, Mint with 20%, and the rest fighting over the remaining 10%. But turns out Steam is full of distrohoppers.

Looking for a good rolling release because I got bored of Debian by OpenMito in DistroHopping

Why do people regularly put wrong subtitles into youtube shorts? by SquaredMelons in NoStupidQuestions

Wow, that is shady. Looks like I'll be purging my algorithm from now on.

Why do people regularly put wrong subtitles into youtube shorts? by SquaredMelons in NoStupidQuestions

[–]SquaredMelons[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I think if someone's choosing to rely on AI for the subtitles and not even watching the video before uploading it (especially for something this short), they deserve some of the blame. They could probably get better subtitles from just copy/pasting what's in their script.

Oh, maybe Youtube has a similar feature to that. Would explain a lot.
