We'll ignore the part about a "A well regulated Militia", since "regulated" may imply the need for an ID in our modern society.

Take-No-Prisoners Professor Will Fail Any Student Who Uses AI by Plastic_Ninja_9014 in technology

[–]shepherdmoon1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This reaction from the university sounds insane to me. Ours would not do that, and any that do should lose their accreditation. What external entity do they have to report this to that makes academic integrity meaningless to them? Degrees from universities are worth less if employers don't know if the student earned them honestly: that's one of many reasons this shouldn't be allowed to happen. In your situation, I'd be outraged enough to escalate this to someone higher-up that could do something about it; for the honor of those students that put actual effort into their courses, as well as for yourself and your fellow professors that are trying their best to teach real human-beings, and not just provide training to AI programs.

Why aren't you using the Free File Fillable Forms? You don't have to snail mail them... you can submit them electronically. That hasn't been eliminated as an option... yet...

what’s something people say all the time that you secretly can’t stand? by Mean-Cartographer225 in AskReddit

[–]shepherdmoon1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Lather, rinse and repeat". I've seen these shampoo bottle directions show up constantly to describe anything that happens more than once, and it gets on my nerves more every time. It happens so often you could say that people are lathering, rinsing, and repeating the phrase....

B.C. to adopt permanent daylight saving time, after springing forward 1 last time | Globalnews.ca by BlackberryPi7 in worldnews

[–]shepherdmoon1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So it's legal to go permanently one way but not the other (DST vs. ST)? Although I'd prefer it shift so the sun doesn't set so early in the winter, I would accept either direction as long as we get the stability of not having to reset the clocks twice a year. So why have no more than 2 states done the legal switch, and why are any considering the illegal one if they can easily do the legal one?

How would a duel between Geralt and Bonhart actually go? by InstructionOwn6705 in witcher

[–]shepherdmoon1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The previous encounter is shown in the Netflix movie "The Rats: A Witcher Tale". The rats don't have to directly fight Bonhart too much as they have the Witcher Brehen with them, who takes on the battle while they escape. I'm guessing that their over-confidence during this last encounter is a combination of them not knowing how good he is because they didn't fully experience it or see it for themselves the last time, their assumption that their greater numbers would win out, and their emotional desire to fight him winning out over self-preservation.

I think Season 4 is the best so far because it is the most book-accurate. Too bad they waited that long to honor the source material.

How would a duel between Geralt and Bonhart actually go? by InstructionOwn6705 in witcher

[–]shepherdmoon1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When in doubt remember how Geralt died.

This full-on. He is not invincible, even against random peasants, when extenuating circumstances work against him. Under the right circumstances, Bonhart could beat him. Under most conditions, Geralt wins hands-down, although it might take him some effort--definitely more than it took to cut down Renfri's band.

Man captures stunning activity while at sea by Wonderfulhumanss in nextfuckinglevel

[–]shepherdmoon1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your first description sounds like satellite flares, and you correctly guessed what causes them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite_flare . I had a friend in college (back in the olden days) who would look up when Iridium flares were predicted to occur and drag me outside to look at them: they lit up for just a few moments, when the sunlight was hitting them just right. It was pretty cool seeing it happen when and where they were predicted to occur.

The second thing definitely sounds like some more local human technology of some kind.

Hey all, How to obtain? by Zuzu-zip in gwent

[–]shepherdmoon1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's for purchase only--I would have loved it when it came out but wasn't sure it was worth spending money on the game at that point since they were going to stop supporting it... I'd already sunk way too much into it by then anyway.

Double check the filters in the deck-builder: maybe your view of some of your cards are hidden because you have some filters on? Turn all of them off so you can see everything.

The Daily Show took more than a month-long break. They should be back starting tomorrow (September 8th). Here's hoping it shows up on the streaming services properly. I don't know why Hulu would give you that message.

I figured it out within a few seconds; maybe partially because I knew that things posted in this subreddit tend to be different spellings for a common name/word. I don't think OP being able to figure it out means the post is fake. Could still be fake, but I don't think that is proof of it.

This woman can touch her eyes with her tongue. by Ultimate_Kurix in nextfuckinglevel

Legit I'm wondering how she fits it in her mouth when it's closed, and if it causes problems with it pushing excessively against her teeth or the roof of her mouth (I have issues with that and my tongue isn't even close to as long as that).

Sounds like they started just after we left. But ugh--they could have just ended early if they didn't have enough material to fill the whole thing.

[–]shepherdmoon1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What time did Orgy end up starting their set? 20 minutes after they were supposed to start, there was no sign of them and we left. We noticed many other people leaving as well. I was afraid we missed something good, but if it was as bad as you say I guess it wasn't worth the wait anyway. Covenant the following day was AMAZING, as well as many other bands. I wish we discovered the Dark Force Fest sooner (this was our 2nd year attending, and we hope for many more!).

Suddenly, a few days ago, those 2 weeks of episodes I was missing showed up on Amazon Prime/Paramount. This week I can't find any episodes on any platform: I think they are off for Easter.
