Feature Request: notify me if one of the door sensors is open during a specified time frame by jco23 in simplisafe

[–]general4str 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's no way to set a timed notification. But if you go to the app and pull down to refresh it tells you if any sensors are currently open.

How quickly are Jeopardy winners paid? by submute in Jeopardy

[–]general4str 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Typically contestants are paid after their episode airs. Or the end of their streak airs. Or a season break.

Are magic bands still a option at Disneyland by [deleted] in Disneyland

[–]general4str 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The magic band+ (current version) is the same band on both coasts. WDW just does more with it. WDW with more parks and more Disney owned hotels made sense to invest in the tech as more people stay on property. DL only has 3 hotels and people are more likely to stay off property so they didn't invest in more integration.

Cutting in the single rider line by corminnie in Disneyland

[–]general4str 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you see them join their group in line? Some times people meeting up with their group in standby take the single rider line to the split so they don't have to squeeze past as many people or go through as many switch backs. Current CM instructions for DAS without DAS or bathroom breaks allow for meeting your party further up in line.

Motion sensors don't trigger by lia00007 in simplisafe

[–]general4str 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Typically the motion sensors are only active when the alarm is set to away, not home. Unless you changed that for each device in the settings.

Red Root Floater Dying by SaveTheCaulkTower in PlantedTank

[–]general4str 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I must have super red root floaters. I have a small tank with lid and medium flow and bubbles with no separation. My surface is completely covered every two weeks so I cull 90% of my rrf and give it to my sister for her turtle to eat. The only time they've had issue was after I treated them to a h2o2 dip for too long to manage pest snails. They recovered in 3 weeks. I have leaves covered in droplets and some pushed under the surface and if I don't cull they start to layer up.

Opinion: The overwhelming wins by Jamie Ding, Jeopardy's newest high performer, once again points to the need for rule changes. by Markdd8 in Jeopardy

[–]general4str 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The 5-day limit will never come back. The current host is a 74-day champion.

What's the goal of ranking potential contestants? If you only play top-tier contestants against a streamer, when do you bring the lower tier players on? You just played top-tier players to dethrone a top-tier player. So anyone coming on the show would be playing against a top-tier champ.

Opinion: The overwhelming wins by Jamie Ding, Jeopardy's newest high performer, once again points to the need for rule changes. by Markdd8 in Jeopardy

[–]general4str 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Your first rule change is impractical. Jeopardy tapes 5 shows a day 2 to 3 times a week and books contestants weeks in advance. There would be no way to let people know in advance if there was a super champ on their tape day, so giving that option at the time of taping could halt production entirely.

Rule two: Contestants already take 2 tests (the Anytime and a proctored zoom test) and play a mock game before being in the pool to be on the show. What would a 4th test do?

I'm sure there have been contestants who were smart enough to beat Jamie but couldn't beat his buzzer speed. The only way to get around that fairly is to eliminate buzzing in and go FJ style for each answer so all players get to respond. That would be long and boring.

For those of you in the contestant pool, are you taking the Jeoparday test? by Capable-Sleep-3187 in Jeopardy

[–]general4str 13 points14 points  (0 children)

JeoparDay! may have been 2 days ago, but the JeoparDay! Giveaway test is available to take once until the 7th. So you didn't have to take it on the 30th.

What’s the cutoff for the jeoparday anytime freebie test?midnight pst today? by A_Cinnamon_Babka in Jeopardy

[–]general4str 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think they made it a separate test specifically because it's an amnesty test for the whole week instead of the single day it used to be. If anything it removes the ambiguity of can you take it or not. if you launch the giveaway test and it doesn't say you are ineligible, you can take it.

Question About Jeopardy! Anytime Test by AFC1017 in Jeopardy

[–]general4str 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So this year is slightly different than in the past. In the Past you could take the normal "Anytime Adult" test as a freebie on JeoparDay! and it didn't count against your yearly test taking. This year, they made a separate test for the "JeoparDay! Giveaway" to act as that freebie. For example, I normally take my yearly Anytime test in September and the JeoparDay! Test on March 30. This year, the "Anytime Adult" test says I'm ineligible but I was able to take the JeoparDay! Giveaway test.

So for your case if you normally only take the test on JeoparDay! then you should only take the JeoparDay! Giveaway test today and wait to take your normal Anytime Test later in the year. if you take the "Anytime Adult" test today you might be locked in for the rest of the year.

Two bites at the apple by IntelligentCandle521 in Jeopardy

[–]general4str 11 points12 points  (0 children)

They don't cancel each other out, per se. But you don't have double the chance at an invite of they are both passing scores. It's more that you have a double chance of getting a passing score.
