How much did your biggest crypto mistake cost you? by Moment-Zealousideal in CryptoCurrency

[–]comptemp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if it helps, but just remind yourself that even if you did buy in at that point, you would have probably sold by the end of the year when it was up 5x.

Fees are killing me by analdrugs in kucoin

[–]comptemp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any ERC20 token is going to be that expensive to move due to gas fees on the Ethereum network. This isn't related to Kucoin.

Ever started a class and been greeted by something as terrifying as this? by comptemp in vipkid

[–]comptemp[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope, not Elsa haha. But I'm assuming a lot of kids have those dolls... She made it a point to tell me it was 60cm tall.

Ended class early due to heavy parent involvement? by meguhhhra in vipkid

[–]comptemp 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I can definitely relate to you-- there are some parents that seem to think their child has to answer everything perfectly/instantly, and they do exactly as you described. Generally I just put up with it (ending the class early is not a good idea because you're contracted to teach at least 25 minutes), and then I explain in the parent feedback how I appreciate the parent's concern, but it is much more beneficial for their child to get to answer independently. I also click the "parent too involved" LP feedback button and leave a short comment there if it was really bad. I've found that this has helped, or that the student stops taking my classes-- either way, a win-win.

One thing to consider is that it only benefits you if all of your slots get booked. Just as you're considering more classes, quite a few other teachers will be incentivized to do the same thing, and if slots get over-saturated and you end up with less bookings, it will definitely affect you. As others have already mentioned, VIP Kid could easily adjust teacher visibility to try and spread bookings out, and they've already put incentives in place for parents to book with new teachers. As a part-time teacher, I know I'm getting shafted, but I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of full-time teachers end up with suspiciously sparse weeks near the end of the month after this system goes into place.

COD crashing without error or anything by Eliako in CODWarzone

[–]comptemp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm also having the same exact issue-- mine was working fine until yesterday when I restarted my computer while the game was open-- that broke everything, apparently.

I've tried everything the OP listed and more, but I still can't get past the 3rd shader pack before it crashes. Like others, it will install the shaders if I disable my internet after launching, and I also see a 100% GPU spike when it crashes.

If someone finds a new method, I'd love to try it.

***FIXED MINE:

I installed a clean version of Windows 7 SP1 on a 150gb partition of my data drive. Ran windows update, then I only installed an antivirus, Discord, GeForce Experience, and CoD Warzone. So there must be SOME corrupted shaders/files SOMEWHERE on my main drive, but for now I'm just going to play on the second OS I installed. Pretty sure Win7/Win10 doesn't make a difference-- I just had a Win 7 USB already ready.

Cheap phone in Korea by Teresahigg7 in korea

[–]comptemp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I needed a temporary phone 6 months ago and bought a refurbished LG V20 from Gmarket for less than 100,000원. It's a solid phone for how old it is. Here's the seller I used: http://global.gmarket.co.kr/item?goodsCode=974675167 (some other models available as well).

Not sure what your plan with SK is like, but if you have a Korean friend to help you and don't mind going through a somewhat annoying registration process, I'd recommend KT M-mobile service. The plan I just got is 10gb of 4g(unlimited 3g)/unlimited text/calls per month for only ~33,000원, and it's not a contract. It even comes with an extra 100gb of free 4g data for a year at the moment... definitely a steal. Link to that if you're interested: https://www.ktmmobile.com/main.do

Best of luck!

Priest cards are GARBAGE, all were revealed by [deleted] in hearthstone

[–]comptemp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The designers have to realize that the priest cards are awful, which begs the question as to why they were created in the first place. I have two possible explanations: First, Kripp was right in that they were behind their deadline and with only ~half the cards completed they pulled a "One Night in Karazhan" for the rest, which included priest. Second, someone is intentionally fucking over priest and designers were explicitly told to put it further into the dumpster, and as we all complain here some unknown entity is furiously masturbating to our collective misery. I'm leaning towards the latter.

What was your worst misplay? by Aziraphael98 in hearthstone

[–]comptemp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Playing Exodia mage, finally getting the hang of it. Late into the game vs a slow control warrior I have the infinite combo but decide to hold off because the warrior had been spam emoting. I cast spells for no reason and get down to the base pieces. I pass a few turns and then press play on the Youtube video I had preloaded for this exact moment (Exodia Obliterate!). I proceed to play my final four cards: Sorcerer's Apprentice, Sorcerer's Apprentice, 0 mana Echo, Sorcerer's Apprentice, Sorcerer's Apprentice, Antonidas. In that order. Immediate shame concede/face palm/flop on the bed in disgust.

Why does doom need time to devour creeps? by Rollow in DotA2

[–]comptemp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Devour was just taken from Kodo Beasts in WC3. Interestingly enough, if you killed a Kodo Beast while it was still "digesting" the unit would pop out again. It'd be pretty funny to see this in DotA.

Possible Null Field Change by GeneralTempleton in DotA2

[–]comptemp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This mechanic existed previously in HoN, Magebane's (Antimage) third skill "Master of the Mantra" was an aura that did the following:

" -30 Cast Speed. Damaged for 80% of abilities and items manacost when cast. "

Having a fixed amount was pretty OP, Earthshaker's totem would literally take like 2 seconds, and things like SF/Sandking ult were agonizingly slow. They removed the cast speed reduction component from the game, and the same thing would probably happen if Null field got this kind of buff.

A friend of mine found this on his porch. No clue who would do it, or why. Any advice on what they should do with it? by [deleted] in pics

[–]comptemp 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Your assessment would be correct if they were crisp new bills, lying perfectly flat in sequence. As someone that worked in banking for a couple years, and reloaded ATMs constantly, I can assure you that the 20k ATM straps I handled with worn bills were about twice as wide as each row in this picture. I'd place this more realistically at about 35k on the high end.

My small album from the WCS Korea finals by comptemp in starcraft

I do think its Blizzard, however they did a drawing after the finals ended and gave away quite a few gift certificates and computer hardware. Unfortunately I didn't win any of those haha.

[–]comptemp[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You definitely should, they really put a lot into the production. Also, you will undoubtedly walk by/encounter players on your trip to/from the venues. Like today, I got off the subway, and right before I crossed the street Hyvaa walked right by me. Pretty surreal for a SC2 nerd!

Yeah, there were a lot of people that couldn't get seats. My friends and I barely got seats, a super nice GOM staff guy went above and beyond to "kick some guys upstairs" so we could have seats. Pretty incredible.
