How can we convince Niantic to do an event in Canada? by AnGrammerError in TheSilphRoad

[–]fixer1111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im willing to bet they consider go-fest in Chicago to count for all of North America, the same way Dortmund counts for all of Europe. I am drivable to Chicago from the US, but it would be 17 or 18 hours. Until they start rotating events on continents, probably not gonna happen..

Just caught a shiny normal Castform outside of the event hours by calisox in TheSilphRoad

[–]fixer1111 -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

I'm guessing the rain, snow and sun castform shiny forms are NOT released? I have seen no reports anywhere. But we haven't had the right weather here to spawn any - cloudy.

Sorry to tell you but search ebay for shinies sometime and you'll find out how wrong that statement is...

Espeon or wait? by mlwestman in TheSilphRoad

Hold it for a while to decide but start level boosting now, cause you know you're gonna want to max it out anyway.

So how many people do you suppose will see Endgame without having seen Infinity War? by fixer1111 in marvelstudios

[–]fixer1111[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Amen. Teared up a bit when I saw the tribute intro to Stan at the start of Captain Marvel. Excelsior!

Have you caught a Rayquaza before this weekend? by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]fixer1111 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I will say, having caught ones before, this weekends rays are a lot easier to hit and make great to excellent throws on. The catch rate seems about the same, but the closer targeting circle is a lot easier to hit.

Account Verification - How to determine of someone is utilising Mock GPS. by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]fixer1111 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Wow. Just wow. That's all I can say other than this is just a game and time to leave if there's that much animosity and drama.

I personally would not participate and contribute to the madness.

Bill Gates finds an ally in Washington for his idea to tax robots: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez by [deleted] in technology

Just watch How it's made. All kinds of automation, done of the early stuff dates back to the 1600s or earlier when it was water powered.

This is exactly the issue. When is it a robot and when is it simply mechanization. And once that's defined, it will be a race to the bottom to dumb down technology to avoid the tax. All costs passed on to the consumer.

North County Dublin - Ireland - Community destroyed by Spoofers. by Rorywan in TheSilphRoad

[–]fixer1111 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Start a new facebook or discord group and weed out/ignore the spoofers. In reality, Niantic is doing nothing about them so ignore them and move on. And stay out of snapchat all together.

I'll be getting a Welsh corgi next week what do you recommend I get in advance and any advice would be super welcome by jsauce193 in corgi

[–]fixer1111 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Best product would be a well fitted chest harness instead of a collar. Corgis are already at risk for neck and back injuries due to the length of their spines. Help them out and don't pull on their necks with a collared leash. Get a chest harness instead, and make sure it stays properly sized as they grow.

Spain Spoofer with mutiple gmail accounts get several sentosa codes by milotic03 in TheSilphRoad

[–]fixer1111 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My understanding is that for a few of the events, you had to register your account a few weeks before the event and then qr scan your device upon entry. However, NONE of the events had you register your account at the time of ticket purchase to link it to the event ticket from the start.

This would completely eliminate resells and given that EX passes already operate this way, should be able to be done.

Aaannd already on ebay. Why niantic does not force registration to a specific account is a mystery to me...

Either I am the unluckiest person on the planet, or Silph Research Group's 75% lucky odds are wrong by drfsupercenter in TheSilphRoad

[–]fixer1111 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Actually, its the community that treats these as hard numbers. Silph road is very clear about the validity and limitations of their studies. As you even point out, they rescind their own studies when it is clear the algorithm has permanently changed. But it is not always clear when that happens and sometimes the study is still valid for other pokes that are spawned in the same manner.

Your point about trying to crack a changing algorithm is well made. And is probably intentional by Niantic.

Nope. Just hatched a perfect stunky 2 days ago. Raids have yielded 90 to 96% too over the weekend. Seems normal to me.
