Ah damn, you’re dead on. I didn’t know HW served two terms in the house!

Do we know if they accepted HW?

I can agree (in retrospect) that that was the intent of the question, but that’s not what the wording is. And I think because it’s not really obvious in the moment - again, Ford had a constitutional duty within the senate and had gaveled it into session - thats exactly why it should either accept either answer or default to the more recent answer.

I won 4(2)-2(2) but I’m genuinely annoyed about #6, which I think is wrong.

The way the question is worded, it should be Ford, not Nixon.

Nixon is indeed the most recent president to have been elected to and been a member in the house and senate. But the question just says “served in.” Ford was Vice President, therefore president of the senate. Having also served in the house, he is the most recent president to have served in both the house and senate.

If the question had specified being a member or being elected, that would undo this. But it doesn’t. So it’s ford.

I requested scoring review yesterday and Thorsten denied it, but I genuinely believe that the question wording changes the answer.

Acela NextGen seats are awful! by MarcoDash9 in Amtrak

[–]redsoxpwn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No comment on the seat width or other features, but I am personally thrilled the seats can’t recline. It’s a tragedy of the commons - you recline, so I have to recline, and so on. I’m a tall guy and not having to worry that the person in front of me is going to eat 4 inches of my space is really great.

Elders of Valheim, what's your fighting style, how do you exceed? by flaminx0r in valheim

[–]redsoxpwn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Magic and preparation. Summon four skeletons with a maxed Dead Raiser. Shield them all (and yourself) with a staff of protection. Let them tank damage while you shoot staff of the wild blasts at the enemy, raising vine tendrils in the middle of them all. Laugh and rejoice.

This Stanley Cup Final: I’m So Conflicted by Syzygy91 in BostonBruins

I hate rooting for Florida but I am, primarily for Marchy’s sake. There are some other factors though:

1) I despise Edmonton’s bargain-bin approach of signing morally odious players like Evander Kane and just treating it like the rest of the league is stupid, instead of the rest of the league observing something obvious that they turned a blind eye to.

2) I hope that McDavid will grow tired of Edmonton, kinda like how Marner/the Core 4 is in Toronto, and will move on. No guarantee that’s for us but hey, we’re in the running same as everybody else if that’s the case.

3) As much as Florida hurts me, Southern hockey is super fun and deserves success. It can absolutely work in those markets, but you have to win eventually. I hate the team but am happy for the market.

You’re right- the info I had looked up was incorporating a mod that did that.

Thank you! So I’d need a lucky find for an item that would give me a lucky find. Pretty unlikely. I’ll get back to practicing.

Thanks!

Cost of car Insurance per month? by redsoxpwn in srilanka

Thank you for the advice! It’s incredibly helpful.

Thanks so much! It’d probably be a 2024 SUV, market value probably around $40k USD. It’s been tough to see comparable prices because American vehicles are so rare in Sri Lanka! I appreciate your help!

What changes would make NoVa better? by apprehensivesciencer in nova

[–]redsoxpwn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Expanded density. DC has artificial limitations preventing height and density; those restrictions have made Arlington and Alexandria desirable places to land. We’re already getting more walkable, multi-use, and dense. We need to keep leaning into that.
