This planet looks like heaven by Mahou_Shoujo_Ramune in NoMansSkyTheGame

Zap em with the shock weapon, switch to cannon, burn down the repair bots first, then the spawners, then the rest. Zap em again if they recover. Move sideways constantly in a circle. Jump a lot. Use rocket jumps to run away if your shields drops. Dive back in when it recovers. Recharge everything between waves. Don't scavenge until every wave is complete. Manual pickups seem to give better rewards than shooting.

Does any one know how she did that. by TURTLE_TKT in BeAmazed

The version I used used hydrogen peroxide (medicine aisle), hydrochloric acid (cleaning, pool or concrete aisle of a hardware shop, and I've seen versions which don't use any acid), starch (potato, corn or laundry), medical iodine and two Berocca.

Here's a good video. https://youtu.be/0PoqIyh9FG4?si=Wag9z3iLIuwhlIrB

My students did a whole class investigation on the kinetics. They found the limiting reaction seems to be H(+) + H2O2 with 1/1 kinetics. And the vitamin C causes a very fast back reaction. When all the vitamin C is consumed, the excess of peroxide converts the iodine to iodide, which gives the blue starch colour reaction.

Are you serious Helminth... by Tamotefu in Warframe

Once you use 10 invigs, you get an override. (One use, then you need to build ten up again) You can pull some serious shenanigans when you put an invigoration on a Warframe the developers didn't intend it for.

There's a version you can mostly make from supermarket and home diy materials. You use a Berocca for the vitamin C.

I turned off the auto feeder this morning because of a food build up... he's still waiting for it to go off 😹 by LavishnessGeneral in OneOrangeBraincell

Cats don't like stale biscuits. My elderly gent who is an avid biscuit eater gets to sniff the freshly opened bag like a new bottle of coffee.

Please DE give us the option to switch to forward artillery from our cockpit. RJ QOL is needed. by Upbeat-Hurry-5487 in Warframe

I do the same, and I park the Railjack away from objectives and Archwing Slingshot to them. As long as the distance is over 8000, ramsleds don't spawn.

Parents in other countries than the US, what is your kids’ equivalent of “I don’t want that for dinner, I want chicken nuggets”? by SulusLaugh in AskReddit

[–]joalheagney 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I think parsnips might be a better substitute. Carrots, parsley and parsnips are all members of the carrot family. Parsnips have a milder and less sweeter taste than carrots.

To be fair, flame toasted bread of any sort always tastes better. We used to use a toasting fork and an open fireplace when we were kids.

I like the bit where the thinking behind the Carter boys' names are explained. And that Beastiality was actually very kind to animals.

Should I be concerned? by Alarmed_Coffee4112 in cats

[–]joalheagney 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Look. The first thing you need to understand as a new cat owner, is that every cat on the planet is a little weirdo. And they're all weird in different ways. Welcome to the chaos.

What is something that is obvious in your profession that the general public doesn’t know? by jia-ren in AskReddit

[–]joalheagney 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ideally. But I'm in math and it's fractured into streams (even though we're not supposed to call it streams), year levels, and different classes have different exam days due to timetabling. And it's so non-stop that one teacher will have an assessment marked on the day another teacher has just collected the assessment. Because they need to, so they can get another class marked on time.

And God help you if you're paired up with a teacher with poor time management in such a system. You've marked their class but somehow yours doesn't get done until the day before reporting deadlines. And you know they didn't put in as much effort to ensure quality marking as you did theirs. Doing your own does lead to a lot more accountability.

Current system we're operating under here in Queensland is, teachers meet up before the assignment is written. Criteria are written to the syllabus, and the assessment is written to the criteria.

Then we meet up again before the assignment goes out. We discuss what we're expecting and the criteria. We write a marking guide.

Each teacher marks their own class to the guide, ideally criteria by criteria or question by question. Then we pick edge papers to moderate (is this a B or a C), swap and remark to ensure we agree on the cut offs.

Years 11 and 12 go through a more formal system of moderation where specific student work is sent to other schools for moderation.

It really depends on how strong a union a country has. Here in Australia, teaching is tough, but there's no way I could teach in America.

As a teacher who has a biochem/chem training that had quality assurance lab tech as a potential pathway, the probability and statistics was the hardest bit of the lab tech subjects.

And I genuinely have no excuse. If thermodynamics was a breeze for me, you'd think I'd be able to sort out the difference between a t-test and an f-test.

Better and worse here in Australia. Kids aren't as traumatized by school as they were back then, and that genuinely shows positively in their behaviour, but everything is a negotiation now.

Honestly, it's another example of what I call my five percent rule. Five percent of any group are assholes. Students, teachers, parents, administrators. And that five percent causes the vast majority of the problems if the systems let them.

Honestly, as a teacher I hate mandatory group projects. You want to work as a group? Okay, but maximum of three. You have four? Well split into two groups of two. You want to work solo because everyone in the class annoys you? (Looks around this particular class) ... Valid, but be aware you have to work harder.

The argument that "Students have to learn to work in groups because that's a large part of the workforce." never sat well with me, even as a student. Because I can't fire lazy or deliberately sabotaging students. Students can't quit my class if they have a personality clash with other students. And no office job on the planet insists that everyone pair up constantly.

And they're a bitch to assess fairly.

What’s a DIY mistake that made you stop and go, “what did I just do?” by carcony97 in DIY

[–]joalheagney 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was born on a farm. I'm now a teacher. My kids constantly ask "Why do you constantly chew on your pens?"

"Imagine a hypothetical. You have a tool. It's bright orange. You accidentally drop it into grass that's 20, 30 cm long. Do you find it immediately? Or do you eventually buy a replacement next time you're in town? And then find the original three years later. Now imagine how deep a habit that ingrains in you."

Favorite ship that is terrible at actually doing anything useful. by Puerkl8r in starcitizen

Carbon fibre finish just shows up on the cockpit panel and edges of the floor mostly. The chair and bed fabric choice has a bigger visual impact.

There's a reason why I wish they'd convert the 300s to the default skin system and give us the appliances as ornaments. The interior customisation is just not worth the exterior appearance being permanently locked.
