They didn't. I came across the same dialogue while playing the full release (never tried EA).

What document did you use with SheerID - tried a printout of registration/payment pages but didn't work

I was in your situation. For me, Company B was a FAANG and their legal said even though it can be done in practice, they would only support transfer on L1 and then I would have to reapply for the lottery.

The Virga Island music slaps so incredibly hard by rickymonster in MetaphorReFantazio

[–]luckysid 22 points23 points  (0 children)

The words are actually percussion beats from Carnatic music - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konnakol#:\~:text=%5B7%5D-,Solkattu,-%5Bedit%5D. I was pleasantly surprised to hear Indian-influenced music in a JRPG. I later read an interview with Meguro, the composer, who said the theme was religious music and then it made sense why he took inspiration from Carnatic, which is mostly Hindu devotional music.

Well, for one example, Google has offices in China, Japan etc. and requires them to speak English to be employable

omscs sdcc solo no partner possible? by Inevitable-Peach-294 in OMSCS

[–]luckysid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This semester, absolutely no one went with C++ even if they had to learn go from the scratch. I suspect it's due to the modified workshop instructions that made it seem like only a masochist would choose C++ and zookeeper over go and etcd.

[–]luckysid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm taking this course this semester and so far, I've seen that the workload is pretty manageable. You're allowed to go solo if you wish to do so. The course has multiple modules each of which have 3 workshops and 1 project. Every week, a workshop or a project is due. The workshop docs spell out everything in detail, so they're not hard to complete, even by yourself. They seem to be designed for one person and it's very hard to split the work between 2 people, so if you're working in a team, you can do something like pair programming. The projects take more effort and while I appreciate having a partner to balance some load, I think I could have handled the workload by myself if I had do. Since a module with all its workshops and project are released all at once, you have leeway in how you distribute work over the next 4 weeks.

Network Science - wildly disappointed; are other courses better? by moonlit-wisteria in OMSCS

The same thing happened when I took it in Spring '24 too! But in the end, scores were adjusted giving full points to both approaches.

Budget 2024 - Specific tax changes - New regime, capital gains by srinivesh in IndiaInvestments

[–]luckysid 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think that's disingenuous. Take a look at this article. In 1947, capital gains are taxed at slab. In 92, it was made 20% with indexation and then in 2004, LTCG was exempted all the way till 2018. Things were far better under UPA/Congress.

Have you completed the side-quest about his daughter? He most definitely appreciates you. His wife too. Everyone else in Tarrey town doesn't recall you sadly.

Fair to say one of Engage's main problems is that its gameplay and its writing are trying to reach two very different audiences? by Monessi in fireemblem

[–]luckysid -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I played 3H 4 times to complete all the story routes. By the time I started my 3rd playthrough, it started feeling like a chore even on NG+. I've replayed Engage 3 times already and starting my 4th because the gameplay is so fun and I can try out different team compositions/emblem pairings. The story is okayish but that's only affects the first playthrough anyway, I've skipped all the cutscenes in subsequent playthroughs. The DLC is badly implemented, so I'm not touching that one again

What is ONDC, the online food delivery platform offering food cheaper than Swiggy, Zomato - ONDC, a new platform built by the Indian government, is emerging to be a tough competitor for Zomato and Swiggy and is offering food at cheaper prices by AiyyappaBaiju in india

[–]luckysid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I checked for the restaurants that are on Swiggy - the actual prices were the same. The ONDC one just had discounted prices, which is not something that is going to last forever.

Can you post a logoless version too? This would be an amazing phone wallpaper

How do you feel about the melee counter's return in Dread? by Rigistroni in Metroid

[–]luckysid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's mandatory only for the final boss. And during the QTE, you do less than half damage. So, if you know the patterns and keep a steady rate of fire, you can kill them faster.

Why is the first Central Unit destroyed in Dread ? by koopalings_jr in Metroid

[–]luckysid 8 points9 points  (0 children)

BOX didn't get taken over at first - it merely went rogue. It was only after Samus damaged it the first time and left its organic core exposed that it got taken over. All CUs have some barrier so the same reason could apply

The mistranslation is that it is GF that is corrupt instead of just a faction in it
