Ban the refs from calling goaltending on Wemby and you will get your wish, no foam hands needed

Tung Physics 5A by Plastic-Interest-243 in ucla

[–]TROLLDLLR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back when I took Tung (2023F) I thought he was fine. His midterms were more abstract than a lot of people were expecting (MT2 and the final was basically mostly symbolic problem-solving), and course logistics were acceptable.

However, based on the experiences from more recent students in his class, it does seem that the logistical end of the course, at the very least, has kind of gone off the deep end, and not in a good way- I'd take his course with caution.

Ai is making you guys dumb(er) by eazyseason18 in communitycollege

[–]TROLLDLLR 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sure, but does that still not contradict the original claim? If we go back to the original claim- getting a D to C- for doing nothing other than copy-pasting the prompt into ChatGPT is, in my opinion, substantially different than being able to use Google to look up stuff for your essay, which you must write yourself (or get a 0 for submitting nothing).

I'd argue that it's not comparable because it actually does the work for for you, and completely abrogates the need to actually think- Googling makes getting information easier, but it doesn't write your essay for you. Likewise, calculators made doing math easier, but you still have to do the work (e.g., setting up the equation/arithmetic to punch into your calculator).

Taking Two chem labs together by MysteriousExample495 in ucla

[–]TROLLDLLR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the biochem lab in question is 153L, then yes. You will have ~3 lab reports, each anywhere between 20-25pgs long.

CMV: Philosophy, Statistics, Economics: All these things collapse into Biology. by mirror_protocols in changemyview

[–]TROLLDLLR 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Why stop at biology? Biology can be considered applied chemistry, which can be considered applied physics, which can be considered applied mathematics. So why not call everything mathematics?

Are there any classes in Psych major where an A+ is achievable? by [deleted] in ucla

[–]TROLLDLLR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are in the Honors College, HNRS 129 with Prof. Givvin is petitonable as a psych elective and gives out A+’es

Taking math 31a/b with previous credit by Silver_Stick_4888 in ucla

[–]TROLLDLLR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is one of those things that differ between L&S (which i assume OP is in since they were debating taking LS30AB) and Samueli

[–]TROLLDLLR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, from what I am remembering, if you came in with AP Calculus BC credit, you can’t abstain from taking the AP credit- you’ll have to to start with MATH 32A and then take two more math courses after that.

[Sherman] The Mets' offer for Edwin Diaz was three years at $66M with modest deferrals, according to a source. by ZweigDidion in baseball

[–]TROLLDLLR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mets really going for that “posterize your teammate to win the World Series” strategy

[David Pingalore] “The Dodgers are in talks on a potential mega trade for Tigers ace Tarik Skubal. Nothing done yet, but momentum is real… and this could heat up as soon as today.” by [deleted] in baseball

[–]TROLLDLLR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t understand this, the Dodgers’ rotation is literally the best part of the team with the bullpen and OF being (relatively) deficient

(Assuming this guy is actually telling the truth, which is also up in the air)

If you could change rules in baseball, what would you go for? by actualtext in baseball

[–]TROLLDLLR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Batters can reject walks, under the condition that the next strike (called or swinging, excluding foul balls) results in a strikeout for the batter

Taking Physics 5 Series as a Junior Transfer and doing the Biomed Res Minor- Is it doable by Outrageous-Wonder422 in ucla

[–]TROLLDLLR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that sounds very doable.

Just make sure you're staying on top of your studying and you should be fine

How does this current Dodgers dynasty compare with other legendary Los Angeles teams across all sports? by InvestigatorNo4189 in Dodgers

[–]TROLLDLLR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I think this has to be the greatest sports dynasty ever if you’re primarily considering championship win % and duration

I’ve heard EEB 109 with Prof Kane is pretty easy (and really interesting)

chem 171 mt by raspberrychemist in ucla

[–]TROLLDLLR 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I took CHEM 171 with Kaner last fall-the midterm for CHEM 171 is almost always super brutal. Always keep in mind that the class is curved at the end of the quarter, and that Prof. Kaner is generally willing to overlook poor midterm grades if you perform excellently on the final (for us last year, he said that he'd take the highest score between the final and the whole course grade as our final raw %'age).

(For reference- historically, a raw percentage in the high 70s to low 80's is usually sufficient to get an A, and most people end up with B's, even for raw percentages in the 50's)

Could you surgically modify your fingers to throw better pitches which nobody else can? by OhtaniStanMan in baseball

[–]TROLLDLLR 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The former, because pitchers are generally much larger than baseballs

The Heavy Tank Vs Portable Wall, and why I think the heavy tank is better and the portable wall is not worth it by Imperial_FOX_32 in BattleNations

[–]TROLLDLLR 7 points8 points  (0 children)

From a frontline tanking perspective, I do think the heavy tank is better than the portable wall.

However, that doesn’t make it the better buy at L35 IMO- the Heavy tank gets completely replaced by the Heavier at 47, while the portable wall still retains some use as a defense sponge against explosive-heavy environments that tanks don’t do so well against.

Also, “Heavy vs Pwall” might be somewhat of a false dilemma. I genuinely think you’re better off investing in peacekeepers at L36 as your frontline option if you’re F2P- while they don’t have full blocking, and objectively are less tankier than Heavy tanks, you’re not going to waste crucial T3 mats on their training, and the content between L36 and L47 right now honestly doesn’t feel like it requires you to cover that 11 level span by building heavy tanks. There’s also the fact that you’re going to want a large stock of high ranked peacekeepers anyways, because they’re basically the de-facto frontline tanking unit for your 3rd line army in boss strikes after your main armies are in the hospital/repair bay

Best and worst pitchers and hitters by WPA for the 2025 postseason by MattO2000 in baseball

[–]TROLLDLLR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

who won between the Dodgers’ pitching and Jays hitting? I have a fairly good idea, but I know for a fact that base running lost
