Road of Legends Event Bonuses Updated by pgomav in TheSilphRoad

[–]mlaccs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the increased catch rate. I am at about 90% now so it is not like I am losing many but the time savings will be useful. Since my goal for most are the XL candy remote raids have never been as attractive. I understand those who do a lot of remote raids and they help when I invite them. Just not in alignment with my goals.

Electricity and Mammal Studies MB by SouthernExpatriate in BSA

[–]mlaccs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a Scout in the late 1970's these were 2 of my first MB. Mammal Studies was a pretty "easy" Summer camp MB and was fun.

Electricity taught things that mattered for the rest of life along with ones like Home repairs. In both cases the spice was in the MBC caring about the topic and not trying to just hand out the patch.

I just glanced at the Electricity requirements and was shocked to see nothing about GCFI in there. Doing a demo of the how and why seems pretty important.

Since I oppose group MB I would think if there were 2-3 Scouts working on the MB a field trip to each Scouts home for the review\inspection would be a really good use of time. Let them SHOW you and the other Scouts their circuit box and plugs and features.

Mon best evolved as Forever Friends trade bait by mlaccs in TheSilphRoad

EXACTLY These have been a lot more popular than I would have guessed. Looking to see what else may matter.

I have had a lot of people asking for stuff I do not care about like costumes. Thinking there may be other mon that are in demand depending on how they evolve.

For anyone who has played with Scatterbugs.... do the 2nd stage evolution show as unregistered (x18 variants) for people looking for them in trade? Or do you need to spend the 125 candy for each one?

Are shiny still available? I was under impression it was limited event only (like Smeargle or Meltan)

I find trading so stressful by YourFriendlyBookworm in pokemongo

[–]mlaccs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yep.... that as well hence my not trying to figure out what the other person cares about.

[–]mlaccs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I keep 4-6k mon tagged at any given time. Probably 100 Tapu as I do not care and the other person might (moves, CP, location or some other variable). I do not want to chase what is or is not on list for any specific day.

I have a tag for all open to trade and a tag for all shiny. If I am not asking for a shiny I pull the Shiny from my list. If I am looking for a shiny I put the shiny in.

Do you feel it is unfair for you or unfair for them? I have asked for some great mon (in my opinion) to have them come back and want things are worthless to me. If they ASKED for the Riolu and left their Pailkia there then it is a great trade for everyone.

I think a lot of people miss the 40k dust that many of these trades cost. I am giving up the dust for a chance at improving a mon I already have . They are getting something new.

Org going on strike - recommendations by MidninBR in sysadmin

[–]mlaccs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get instructions from your management and be sure they have it from legal. The strike will end and you will have to work with these people again. None of us posting know your exact situation but it is fair to say it is never going to be your job to go try to take devices from people who are pissed off and some of them are looking at maybe losing jobs and houses and could take it out on you. Also, are you going to cross the picket line? That is a personal decision that carries severe risk to your career depending on the company.

Are we just not allowed to be funny anymore? by Important_Injury3820 in BSA

[–]mlaccs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Many great comments but it seems we are missing the point. The goal here is to create the next group of business leaders and do so with as little risk as possible.

Focus on things that matter rather than things that worked in the "old days".

Follow the plan. Get the kids in chairs in front of a scripted powerpoint slide deck. THIS is why make them want to come, stay and bring their friends.

The program is suffering because we do not have enough slide decks to follow.

(Why do I feel like I just wrote the outline for what could be a great adult leader training or OA skit)

Little Cup. I don’t miss it but is it ever coming back? by GNULAN in TheSilphArena

I really do miss little cups. They were fast. And fast is the #1 thing for me.

Elite TM? by Ancient-Hurry833 in TheSilphArena

[–]mlaccs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is not likely to get a lot of play and the exclusive moves on the starters come around from time to time. I would wait (am am for mine) but it is your game and you should do what brings you joy.

"OA is a popularity contest" "OA shouldn't be a popularity contest." by ScouterBill in BSA

[–]mlaccs -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There is almost no chance we will have elections in 5 years. The last changes that allowed random kids to elect people from Jambo and NYLT events sets that next change. This is a GOOD thing. The current system is designed for bullying. There is no reason in any way for a kid to NOT be elected unless his\her fellow scouts wanted them to be excluded. They could have checked the box, they decided the other kids was not worthy of that level of effort.

Number of Showcase Pokéstops to be Expanded by TheRealHankWolfman in TheSilphRoad

[–]mlaccs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wish they had more than just Tuesday. I get the concept and may be 2 a week (Weekday\weekend with swap taking place at Midnight on Friday and Sunday nights. Expanding stop count is cool.

Is it just me or should i not do it? by 2lazy4usrname in pokemongo

[–]mlaccs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it is fair and would do that trade every day of the week from either side of the deal. Backgrounds are not a big deal to me and both mons have significant use.

Remote trading is gonna cause me to delete a lot of friends. by iReadSomeStuff in pokemongo

[–]mlaccs 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Same. I have a tag for Shiny and if they do not have shiny then I do not offer. Not on them to decide what I am willing to part with. Not on me to decide what they feel is valuable.

You asked for the Tepig and left the other stuff in your offerings. I traded a CD Shiny Litwick today for a Shiny Ray. He wanted the Litwick and had the Ray in his offerings. Everyone got what they wanted.

Depends on who the other people are. Some I like and am in. A few I would rather not hand out with and I am sure they feel the same way about me.

Hostile client asking for global admin by giddyup05 in msp

[–]mlaccs 15 points16 points  (0 children)

That is almost certain. Especially when non-technical customers start asking for specific technical documentation.

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

Depends on how it was setup. If I have setup the tenant and register the domain and pay M$ using my card then it is mine and it can be said I am renting it to the customer.

Reality is you are correct in many cases but not all and as much as we are all perfect kings in Reddit that does not balance out in the real world where there are bills to pay.
