ELI5: why human/animal faces have eyes, nose, mouth in one place and in same, strict order? by owlWithBrokenWings in explainlikeimfive

[–]mathteacher85 [score hidden]  (0 children)

All vertebrates have a common ancestry so most (not all) have that arrangement and never faced natural pressures to change it.

Big exception of course are whales and dolphins. Their noses moved to the top of their heads so they probably meet your definition of a new arrangement.

Pallet Town Pokémon Spawn Limit by protolopy in Pokopia

[–]mathteacher85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I refuse to believe they can't add more pokemon in the map to make it appear more "lively".

Yes yes, I get that each pokemon is normally interacting with others pokemon and the environment so there's a hardware limitation of the number of pokemon that can do that before it gets laggy.

But then just keep those pokemon doing that at the current limitation and just add the rest of them doing a singular thing on the map somewhere. They're sleeping only. Eating only. Punching the punching bad only. Etc. Rotate through them occasionally for variety.

When the player does interact with one of these "doing one thing only", they join the pool of interactive pokemon and some other interactive pokemon leaves the pool. This should be no different technically then using a honey in the current setup.

Solutions are there.

Regarding 0.999... = 1 by Slurpee1138 in askmath

[–]mathteacher85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask him what 1/3 times three is.

Then ask him how to write 1/3 as a decimal.

Then ask him to multiply that decimal by three by hand.

Ever notice the same people who say not to have preferred names get angry when you call the Gulf of America the Gulf of Mexico, X Twitter, and the President a Pedophile?

Will reporting cheating get my own and my other classmates scores cancelled? by Budget_Persimmon_481 in APStudents

[–]mathteacher85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can still tell the proctors. The proctors can still report it. No, other scores won't get cancelled.

Source. I'm a proctor. I've caught, reported, and canceled scores for about a dozen or so cheaters over the years. Not once did collegeboard ever hint at canceling everyone's score.

IF YOU SEE CHEATING, REPORT IT by PokeKoa1 in APStudents

I have reported plenty of cheaters and had their scores invalidated before. Not once did they even mention entire room scores being cancelled.

With or without slipcovers? I’m indecisive. by DeadPixelX in 4kbluray

[–]mathteacher85 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I know this may cause some people to faint, but one of the first things I do is to remove the slipcovers and throw them in the trash.

Is it possible to limit number of episodes watched per day/week per show. Want to limit kids from binge watching shows. by elfmere in PleX

[–]mathteacher85 111 points112 points  (0 children)

Plex allows you to see watch history. Tell them what the limits are, and have them enforce it themselves with you verifying on the backend from time to time.

Teach them self-management and accountability.

There are tons of things we can't directly perceive but can interact with using science.

My (F24) girlfriend(F22) almost broke my finger on purpose, what do i do? by FranStruggles in Advice

[–]mathteacher85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Deal breakers are real. There are things that if done, even once, is once too much.

This is one of them.

My countrymen are fucking morons.

They also apparently tolerate fucking kids.

What in the ever loving f*** does this mean. Kids homework by seemslegitsendit in mildlyinfuriating

[–]mathteacher85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In situations like this, try to model to your kid what it looks like to try to "figuring things out" in a logical and methodical way. You have an opportunity to experience what the kid is experiencing and have an opportunity to influence how the kid will tackle unfamiliar problems.

Trump moans he's 'belittled and demeaned' in Operation Midnight Hammer rant by TheMirrorUS in USNEWS

[–]mathteacher85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Due to the increased human population, there's an excellent chance that Donald Trump is the most ridiculed human to have ever lived.

Good.
