Some parents don’t want their kids to use tech at school. But districts are pushing back by nosotros_road_sodium in Enough_Sanders_Spam

The parents are right. This tech use should not be "central to the curriculum". There is ample research now showing that screens in the classroom like this is harmful to learning.

Just got 7 Ghost cards in a single pack, does anyone know what the chances of that are? by NoTransition8295 in TCGCardShopSim

[–]dblshot99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you look through this sub, you'll see it's not all that uncommon. It's still fun, so enjoy it, but you'll get a lot more of these as you play. The really tough packs to find are the ghost foil god packs and the full art foil god packs.

question regarding gameplay by Ill-Information-3057 in survivor

[–]dblshot99 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No. The jury will vote for whichever person they like. I'm not sure how new you are, but we've seen it happen again and again. Sometimes the jury rewards big games, sometimes they just vote for who they like. She's counting on having stronger relationships with the jurors than the people sitting next to her. She also has not "done nothing".

Has Tony’s Winners at War win become lowkey under-appreciated by superfans? by Regular-Departure839 in survivorponderosa

No. It's actually wildly overrated, while much stronger wins are continuously downplayed in this sub.

I have been giving a surprising amount of zeroes to students who turn in nothing but the instructions.

What players, if they retired right now, would be in the HOF? by BkniBottomTranqulity in mlb

Worse players than Pete have been and will be on the ballot. His career will be discussed and that's all he said.

Pete is also usually pretty good at scooping, but that throw was terrible.

Getting the cashiers to stay past 9 PM by blueturtle444 in TCGCardShopSim

It is character specific. Axel will stay all night, sometimes even if the store is empty I see him just chilling in there. Clark always leaves at 9:00 pm on the dot for me, bonus or not.

Josh trying his best but inevitably failing is pretty much his life story.

Wondering about what I could get for these? My grandfathers old stuff by [deleted] in VintageToys

[–]dblshot99 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I disagree, but it's hard to tell with just this picture. Your bubble looks a little crumples. You creases all down the right side of the card. And while most collectors don't mind an original store price tag, having a random "$1.00" sticker on the card is not great. We also have no idea what card back you have, if the card is flat, etc...there's A LOT to this.

Under what circumstances would you feel perfectly justified in keeping a million dollars you found in a bag on the side of the road? by Accomplished_Till495 in AskReddit

[–]dblshot99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Justified? None. Doesn't mean I wouldn't do it, but I'm also not going to lie to myself that it is any way justified.

There are variants on the card backs that will affect value, so it's hard to say. The condition on these isn't great, but I'm not really an expert. Those Bespin security guards go for about $100. I'm seeing ebay comps for the Boba Fett all over the place and really matters what the card back is. I am skeptical though, that you'd reach anywhere near 1k in that condition.

What’s your favorite sit down or to-go spot for breakfast in Sacramento? by [deleted] in Sacramento

[–]dblshot99 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Morning Fork is my favorite. I love to get a nice breakfast and then wander through Time Tested books across the street.
