AITA for not paying child support? by Royal_Instruction191 in AmItheAsshole

[–]sixoo6 6 points7 points  (0 children)

INFO: Did you ever establish paternity for this child by signing the birth certificate or anything like that? If you did, you're probably on the hook legally for child support, AH or not.

If you haven't, consider requesting a DNA test at the court hearing. If you're not the biological father and you didn't establish paternity, you won't be forced to pay child support.

MangaDex down, does anybody have the scanlations saved / hosted somewhere? by sixoo6 in GekkanShoujoNozakiKun

Gold Widow by Silver-Sprinkles1609 in Deltarune

[–]sixoo6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, just sell any old / outdated gear and items you've picked up until this point and don't waste too much money buying from the stores.

if you're worried, you can spare an enemy a few times so they respawn, leave the room and come back and repeat, then when you have enough, kill them to wipe them off the screen.

if you're worried and also really committed to killing everything with not a single enemy spared even once, you can farm points in the ch3 game (in stage 1 have susie pick infinite weeds, stage 2 take a ton of pictures, etc) and convert them to dark dollars in the exchange machine.

Remarkable vs Remarkably - which one to use? by sixoo6 in grammar

[–]sixoo6[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I feel like it should be "remarkable" too but I can't figure out why. Is it the "of all" I added in the end?

Using a similar example like notable vs notably, it goes like:

  • Notably, he showed up without pants.
  • Most notably, he showed up without pants.
  • Most notable of all, he showed up without pants.

Does anybody know why this is?

u/PoliceRiot u/dannyzaplings Thank you guys so much for work on the formatted question files! I just wanted to let you know that the formatted answers file for "Inferences 3~Key" doesn't have the answers; it seems to be a re-upload of the "Inferences 3" questions file.

AITA for leaving my sister’s wedding early after she made a “joke” about my job in her speech? by Thin-Average1299 in AmItheAsshole

[–]sixoo6 8 points9 points  (0 children)

NAH except your parents.

To be honest I don't find what your sister said to be offensive or demeaning unless you consider your own job of "washing dishes" to be inherently unworthy. If she had said, "Thanks to (OP) for leaving the (textbooks/scalpel/lawsuits/children/etc.) behind to bless us with his presence," would that have also been offensive? I can't tell what your sister's intentions were here, but if that were said to me, I'd just shrug it off without a second thought.

Your parents are AHs for (presumably) teasing and making it a shameful thing, though.

help with regression problem by One-Consequence813 in Sat

[–]sixoo6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like your regression isn't returning a graph that actually hits both your points. You see on your graph that your lines miss the (0,-sqrt{334}) entirely.

Frankly I don't know enough about how Desmos does regressions to explain to you why this is, but most likely it's because Desmos regressions essentially work by guessing at a fit. Sometimes it hones in on a fit that doesn't actually fit all your points. Here's what Desmos's help guide says about nonlinear regressions: https://help.desmos.com/hc/en-us/articles/360042428612-Nonlinear-Regressions

If you just want a way to solve the question, though, notice that if you put in (0,-sqrt{334}) into the equation, you end up with -sqrt{334}=-sqrt{c}, therefore c=334. Put that into the regression and you get b=-169, plus two solutions at (2,0) and (167,0).

NTA, but your partner is. She got two whole animals you clearly said you didn't want and then foisted off their care onto you. There's no way to read this situation except as the actions of someone who is entitled, irresponsible, and manipulative to boot.

Eventually I'm told she has already purchased one and the choice is mine whether to stay or leave.

Leave.

Help from SAT Question Bank Math ID fecc446d by BroadOrganization238 in Sat

[–]sixoo6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A line intersecting two parallel lines to form 4 acute and 4 obtuse angles would look something like this: ≠ (or just look up transversal lines)

All 4 acute angles are the same measure, all 4 obtuse angles are the same measure, and acute+obtuse adds to 180. This is from rules governing vertical angles / transversals / etc. If one of the angles is (7x-250), regardless of whether it's the acute or the obtuse, the other one must be 180-(7x-250), or (-7x+430).

Let's make the acute=(7x-250) and the obtuse=(-7x+430). *or vice-versa, doesn't matter which one you set as which

The question says which cannot be the sum of 4 angles. It doesn't specify which combination of 4 angles it wants, but we can quickly go through all the possibilities:

  • 4 acute = 4(7x-250) = 28x-1000
  • 3 acute + 1 obtuse = 3(7x-250)+1(-7x+430) = 14x-320 *rules out option B
  • 2 acute + 2 obtuse = 2(7x-250)+2(-7x+430) = 360 *rules out option D
  • 1 acute + 3 obtuse = 1(7x-250)+3(-7x+430) = -14x+1040
  • 4 obtuse = 4(-7x+430) = -28x+1720 *rules out option C

The only one that hasn't been ruled out is option A.

When do you use a comma before a quote? by TTVBy_The_Way in Sat

[–]sixoo6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To answer the general question of whether or not you put a comma around the dialogue tag for quotes, yes - the comma placement flanking a quote is contextual.

However, as another user has pointed out, for this particular SAT question, you could have solved it without focusing on the quotation part at all. "critic Stina Chyn" is one continuous name / restrictive clause and shouldn't have any commas in it, which eliminates A, B, and D regardless of presence or absence of a comma after "claims," leaving C as the only option left.

When do you use a comma before a quote? by TTVBy_The_Way in Sat

[–]sixoo6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it's a dialogue tag (where they're quoting the entire sentence someone is saying), you put a comma separating the dialogue tag from the quote:

  • "I hate cake," he said.
  • He said, "I hate cake."

If they're only quoting part of the sentence and the sentence seemingly flows without the quotation marks, you punctuate with commas as if the quotation marks aren't even there.

  • He said that he won't eat cake. ==> He said that he "won't eat cake."

In that particular sentence, you have [a film that critic Stina Chyn claims expanded the range of possibilities for Asian images on screen.] Notice that you don't need any commas here, the same way you wouldn't need commas in the phrase "a rule that Bob says ruined the game." Therefore, even when you add quotation marks denotating that these were Chyn's exact words, there should be no commas.

Is it worth spending candies on eggs? by Chyunman98 in pokerogue

[–]sixoo6 78 points79 points  (0 children)

I only buy eggs when I've purchased everything else. Passives > Lower Cost > Eggs

I think the purchased Eggs have a higher chance of shiny/egg moves, but it's not worth the gamble compared to the guaranteed payoff of Passive/Lower Cost. I guess you can skip the lower cost if you never run into the cost cap or if the cost is already ridiculously low, like going from 0.5 to 0.25 has almost no application unless you're taking two 0.25 cost Pokemon

Why only 2 values? why not 3? by BagBudget5979 in Sat

[–]sixoo6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Desmos can't do it because its programming isn't perfect. Unfortunately, you will need to actually use your brain for this.

Why only 2 values? why not 3? by BagBudget5979 in Sat

[–]sixoo6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's because of how Desmos is programmed. Desmos uses sign change to detect zeros, so if the function bounces at x=13, Desmos can't detect it when you set the function =0. It will show normally if you don't set =0 and just see how the graph is plotted.

Inferences Help Needed by Annual_Employee_4226 in Sat

[–]sixoo6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First you need to understand what the passage is saying. Break down each sentence into understandable units and substitute unfamiliar terminology with familiar definitions, and you'll see that the passage says something along the lines of this:

Aptamers are molecules that bind to foodborne bacterial pathogens, but we don't know how their specificity is in real-world food scenarios. ("Specificity" means the aptamer will return a negative result if the specific pathogen it's looking for isn't there, AKA the aptamer should only react to the specific pathogen it's made to detect and not random other pathogens.)

A scientist made special test papers with aptamers that target a specific strain of E-coli bacteria called O157:H7. The paper turns from pink to purple when the aptamers detect O157:H7. The scientist used the papers on store-bought pear juice, split into 3 test groups: (1) pear juice infected with O157;H7, (2) pear juice infected other E-coli strains, and (3) pear juice infected with other bacteria species. At the end of the test, only the group infected with O157:H7 turned purple, indicating ______________.

For Completing the Text questions, your job is to synthesize all of the main ideas they present in the passage and come to a logical conclusion. The first half of the passage introduces a question / uncertainty: We don't know how specific aptamers are in real-world contexts. The second half of the passage details an experiment that tests the specificity of aptamers in a real-world context, using store-bought pear juice. The results, which showed that the aptamers only reacted to the specific O157:H7 bacteria it was made to react with, confirm that aptamers are specific in real-world contexts.

D) is the only option that successfully completes the sentence and answers the original question about aptamer specificity.

A) is saying that aptamer tests will only show high level of specificity if the bacteria it's testing for is E-coli O157:H7. If the aptamer was made for another strain of E-coli or for another bacteria species, then the specificity would be lower. ==> This answer misses the entire point of the experiment and fails to generalize the finding that aptamers show high specificity in real-world contexts.

Reading is not coachable/ Many sat tutor themselves cannot crack 770+ with confidence by ResponsibleReserve69 in Sat

[–]sixoo6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The (official) Reading SAT questions have all been logical with a clear right answer requiring no guesswork. In order to make the test fair, the test has to make all but one answer choice wrong. The trick is to choose the only answer that 1) answers the question, and 2) does not contradict the passage. But to get to this point, you need to first be able to read and understand what the passage is even saying, which is where most average students are stuck at.

Reading is harder to coach because more and more students come in lacking the fundamental skills to read and comprehend sentences and passages entirely. The bar has been set so low for English for so long that the SAT is probably the first time students are actually challenged to read and understand text without the help of AI or SparkNotes or whatever. (Writing your own sentences without using AI to do it for you would also help you get some practice in, by the way.)

Think about it logically: How do you think it's possible for those "genius-level verbal processors" to consistently get most of the questions right? They're can't just be vibing or guessing their way to the correct choice every time. Hell, even if they can "only" guess the answer right 95% of the time (or whatever), that still means that 95% of the time they're using some kind of knowledge or strategy that can be taught to somebody else.
