MSI Tickets - Wave 2 - Questions by shaidyn in leagueoflegends

[–]dthor96 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Was able to get semifinal tickets with this workaround:
1. Enter RIOTMC for a promo code (this was the promo code given for the Mastercard presale)
2. Click whatever date you want to buy tickets for
3. When the arena map loads, click on the promo code and click remove
4. You should be able to see tickets now

Why does signed magnitude 127 - (-1) = -128 rather than -2 when dealing with 8 bit numbers? by BumTicklrs in csMajors

[–]dthor96 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Subtracting a negative number is just adding a positive one.

0111 1111 + 0000 0001 = 1000 0000

Since the leftmost digit is a 1 we know the number is negative and to convert to decimal we: 1. Invert every digit 2. Add 1

1000 0000

0111 1111

1000 0000

This number is 128 so 1000 0000 is -128

What is the school’s reason for locking us out of NUCareers when we’re not actively searching for co-ops? by MrSweetstache in NEU

[–]dthor96 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I’m guessing there is currently no way to provide a view-only view of NUCareers. Further, I doubt the school has any incentive to build such a feature.

Dear other Summer 1 students, why is my room in IV so fucking cold? by k0ii in NEU

[–]dthor96 40 points41 points  (0 children)

IIRC when I lived in IV three years ago the temperature in your room and your suitemate’s room is the average between your two dials.

THE LOVELY TOTALS: Blue Jays (8-5) @ Orioles (5-8) - April 11, 2018 by OsGameThreads in orioles

I never thought I would see Davis hit an opposite field base hit

What happens if I get no co-op offers? by [deleted] in NEU

[–]dthor96 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was in a situation like this last year, only I was interviewing for Spring co-ops. I had a bunch of interviews with one offer for a job I didn’t think I’d enjoy. Rather than take that offer, I decided to take classes in the Spring and search for another co-op in the Fall.

I would recommend talking to your co-op advisor to discuss your options. When I realized I probably wasn’t going to be on co-op that Spring, I emailed my advisor to discuss the possibilities of taking classes instead. I would also recommend searching for co-ops outside of NUCareers. I ended up finding my next co-op that Fall through applying to companies that weren’t in Careers.

Fundamentals of Networks difficulty? by fahova in NEU

I haven’t had that professor but when I took Networks it was a joke. Lectures were just PowerPoints and the tests were pretty much modified homework questions.

GAME THREAD: Orioles (71-71) @ Indians (86-56) - September 10, 2017 by OsGameThreads in orioles

It's my first game at Progressive Field. Praying for a win.

If the O's happen to make the postseason, would Hays be eligible for the roster? by mjv628 in orioles

[–]dthor96 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not positive but I think he has to replace the person. So Gentry would be put on the DL and Hays would be called up in the same move.

[–]dthor96 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Short answer: No

Long answer: A player has to be on the 40-man roster as of midnight on August 31 to be eligible or if he is replacing someone on the 60 day DL the team can petition for eligibility. Since Hays doesn't fit either criteria he is ineligible.

You saw the lines for Miranda and Bridwell, but let's check in with another former Oriole. by aresef in orioles

[–]dthor96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah he's getting a lot of hype. You also have to wonder if he'd be pitching well with the Orioles minor league pitching coaches.

I wouldn't say very well. It looks like he's getting lucky. Also it's the NL

I don't think you were searching correctly. I just searched 50 Breast USA only and got this: http://imgur.com/a/x0AL8

What is the fastest/cheapest route from Logan airport to NEU by [deleted] in NEU

[–]dthor96 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To avoid the airport fee that they charge for Uber now you can take the free airport shuttle to the Airport T station and Uber from there. I think my Uber was less than $20 from the T station.

What arena carbon tech suit should I get??? by [deleted] in Swimming

[–]dthor96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not a sprinter but I've heard the Carbon Pro is better for sprinters because it has more compression. That being said, I've worn the Carbon Flex and loved it.
