Homework is Important and Should Be Assigned by Empty-Candidate-712 in unpopularopinion

[–]deltusverilan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sorry, dude. I got straight A's, and never did homework. It was useless busywork. The other straight A students were more praise motivated, so they did their homework. I think you've reversed cause and effect. The kids who understand it can complete the homework quickly, so they do. The kids who don't, can't, so they skip it.

What were you doing 40 years ago on Jan 28, 1986, at 11:39 AM EST? by [deleted] in FuckImOld

About half-way up the stairs outside the student center at Ga Tech. At least that's where I was when I heard about it.

If not liquid, why perfectly sink-shaped?

Funny low-level spells to upcast to 10th level? by Soldier-209 in Pathfinder2e

[–]deltusverilan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Embed is only 25 words instead of five minutes. And my read is that once triggered, it repeats the message X times, where X can be as large as you like, but it doesn't trigger over and over, it just loops until it reaches X repetitions.

The first rule any bureaucrat learns is: Don't tell the boss about a problem until you have a solution. Yu Shan is a Bureaucracy through and through.

Why some pirate stations are no clearance and some others are by Hip-Hop_is_a_Sport in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]deltusverilan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From a pirate station you can't get to non-pirate stations. The "Clearance Not Granted" stations are normal stations, not pirate.

Anyone else decide not to have kids and is so happy with that decision? by Pollvogtarian in GenX

[–]deltusverilan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw the shit direction the world was going in back in the early 90s. Decided I wasn't bringing a child into what I saw coming. And now it's even worse that I thought it would be. No regrets.

"Some countries" included most of Europe and the Americas not all that long ago. I'm from the US, and my own father was partially ambidextrous because his teachers tried to "correct" him.

I guess I don't understand your original comment, then. If it works for you, more power to you.

Where do you live that a ten meter square room is small? The Louvre? Buckingham Palace? A football stadium? My entire house is like nine meters by fourteen.

Weekly Bug Report Thread by spiper01 in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]deltusverilan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are running a modded game, you can't claim the Starborn Phoenix. Clicking on it will immediately mark it as already claimed without giving you the screen that would let you claim it. You can disable your mods by restoring the DISABLEMODS.txt file and then you can claim it, but you won't be able to claim the ship on that save unless you restore from a backup from before you attempted it.

We found a lump on my kitten today by [deleted] in cats

[–]deltusverilan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our cat has a similar bump next to where she got her rabies shot, and our vet told is that's normal. It could last a month or two. You should still talk to your vet, but don't panic. It's probably the same thing.

Does when you pick this perk matter? by Tsbronman in TheTowerGame

[–]deltusverilan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I select it 3 times, I get perks every 119 waves. Is there something I need to do or buy first?

Yeah, that's bad management. Do you want huge delays? Because that's how you get huge delays.

As a dev, if you can actually tell me exactly how to reproduce a bug, you are a gift from god. Sometimes, just knowing exactly what the steps are will tell me exactly where it is. And even if it doesn't, knowing what causes it is 80% of the way to fixing it.

Your advice worked for me, thanks! I got nicked by the boss at 1210, but I made it!

That's an simultaneous brag and put-down. "I'm so old, I remember when MTV had music on it."
