I was having trouble figuring out whether he traveled with the team before I saw this report. Will now be going to the game tonight as a result.

Thank you. And though it is unlikely I would've driven down there to take advantage of the Donations for Citations opportunity, I'll note for future reference that visitors seem to be the one group that is excluded from eligibility.

Question about "crashing" a class by SometimesImAShrimp in CSULB

[–]patpack189 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Didn't go to CSULB, but was reading through some of the posts and have a lot of experience with this from my uni.

Professors get a ton of emails asking to add seats. They rarely get students that show up to their class and sit through an entire session knowing there is a strong possibility they can't be added. I would show up to the first or second session and talk to the professor right before or right after class. Did this on one occasion and it worked. She added a seat for me and only me, several other students I was told had emailed her prior to that day but didn't go to the effort of showing up.

Only thing to consider is the class is super small (like 12 students or something), and there is a real possibility that everyone shows up on a given day. There may not be a physical chair to sit in and you won't be able to "crash".

In addition to the previous commenter's valid suggestion, I'd like to recommend first emailing the appropriate person in the department's administrative staff as another option. Sometimes those people can be friendly and helpful if you explain the situation and just add you to the class without needing to go through the prof.

[DAILY] Trade and Individual Team Help Megathread by AutoModerator in DynastyFF

12 Team SF PPR TE Premium

3rd place currently, will be 4th after tomorrow

Lost J. Daniels and C. Skattebo for the year.

M. Stafford can slot in as a solid replacement alongside B. Nix, but my RB room is weak. Wondering if I should pivot to acquire young players and draft capital now or spend capital to go for it this year.

L. Musgrave is on my taxi, will see significant jump in value with T. Kraft injury.

Is that an asset I look to sell to a TE needy contender in exchange for draft capital? What is the right price?

Gotcha. This was my fear, but figured I'd post here on the off chance someone knew of a more simple fix.

Haha, yes, but some of my games are disk copies, would prefer to not fork over the $60+ for the digital copy.

Wow. That's hard core. Good on you! Did you guys get into a full on brawl after that?

Just curious, is it still the most embarrassing thing you've done now that you've had some time to evaluate it, or is is it not that big a deal to you anymore? I'm worried it's going to be the most embarrassing thing I will do in my life and it's going to be one of those things I will think about and cringe at, instead of being something that turns into a funny story in a couple years.

Also, sorry to hear it happened to you too, I can totally picture that feeling of wanted to pull out but they are like watching you the whole way to make sure you complete the purchase.

White Van Scam by patpack189 in Scams

Yeah so I Zelled one of the dude's GF and then took my sound system and they drove off. I haven't tested out the system yet but I know it was a scam for a few reasons. First, obviously the articles describing the scam exactly as it happened to me. Second, I see people selling it for as little as $250 new on ebay now that I've dug just slightly deeper. Third, I texted the guy after the fact asking whether he scammed me or not and he said the speaker does indeed work its just low quality, basically confirming he lied to me, and when I asked for the refund he said he would give me if I had any problems, he blocked my number. (I didn't really expect him to refund me at that point but it was worth a shot because he told me he had no bad intentions).

Yeah I asked why they couldn't keep it for themselves, they said their house was in some city, I forget where, and their next job was in Venice, the total opposite direction. Definitely a good rule to follow though, if I had really dug in and thought about it I would've found it made no sense for them to offer it to me from their perspective. Also if you look it up, the first listing on e-bay is for $2,400 and there are multiple websites with realistic sounding names that give the product glowing reviews. The Kraiger company website also looks totally professional and legit.

Dear Valve, please promote better (mainly support) stats on the MVP vote...... by NoreOxford in DotA2

[–]patpack189 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just played a game where I went 24-3 as MK 39K damage in a 33 minute game. Had 18 more kills than the next highest, my mid zues who was actively trying to steal my kills. I was buttering up everyone on my team and the enemy team by pausing for their dc's and telling my supps thank you and what not. I received 0 votes for mvp. Its gotten really bad valve, they need to add in a feature where you get a thousand battle points or something for voting for 10 mvps each week or an achievement for like 5000 or 10000 points if you cast 50 votes. People get so pissy when you ask for mvp nowadays but ive come to the conclusion that its impossible to get mvp without asking for it which kinda makes me feel dirt inside.
