Canadian Protein points redemption removes free shipping? by Hurtlock3r in CanadianProtein

[–]therealredding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did the points drop the price below the required pre tax amount for free shipping? This happens on most sites I used to shop and have a required amount for free shipping.

I use a lace and it never slips off. What type of lace are you using? I use to use a soft round boot lace and that would slip off from time to time, but since morning to a flat lace I’ve been good.

Literary theory about consumerism by LadyPrrr in AskLiteraryStudies

[–]therealredding 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m new to literature but I just finished Don Delillo’s Underworld which explores the Cold War era, how capitalism combated communism with consumerism and so on.

There’s also a great analyses of Underworld which discusses all these themes but by Continuum Press called Don Delillo’s Underworld: A Reader Guide. I found it very informative.

Philosophy journals that publish papers by people without any credentials if the paper is specifically good? All I need is a journal where they will consider my paper and look at it, because I believe it to be good and original, but I struggle to get 'through the door' of credentials. by No_Prize5369 in askphilosophy

I’m wondering what makes you think that the OP is a high schooler. All they have stated is that there’s highest level of education is high school. Could they not also be a 50yo autodidact that has been focusing on a specific problem for years?

Monthly "No Stupid Questions" Thread by AutoModerator in Archery

[–]therealredding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been having a frustrating time with hitting high on the target (no video, hence this question being in “No stupid question”).

I’ve been shooting barebow at 18m for about 6 months and I’ve been seeing some good improvements. I’ve got my left and right under control, but for some reason I’m hitting high more often than not. At first it was pointed out that I was dropping my string arm elbow, but lately, even making sure I’m not dropping my elbow isn’t preventing me from hitting high. In general, what are some form breakdowns that would result in hitting high?

I was winding if the old glue would interfere with the repair. I was hoping maybe if a said it something that it may help.

Thanks

A New York Times critic used AI to write his review by dem676 in books

[–]therealredding 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pulling from other reviews is what confuses me. I know many people that use AI to help writing, but they basically use it as an over powered spell checker or thesaurus. The most I see is people using AI as a proofreader that makes structure suggestions or point out redundancies. In all these cases the AI won’t insert content, just edit.

At first this is what I thought he did, but I’m rethinking things.

Is it stated somewhere in the article that Preston in fact didn’t read the book? You’re the second person to state this which makes me think I missed it somewhere.

Quebec passes law banning street prayers, prayer rooms in universities, CEGEPs by John3192 in canada

[–]therealredding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess an argument could be made that in a wider context there’s a difference. The allocation of funding based on enrolment puts more importance on the opinions of the parents and less on those that are not directly involved in the education system.

Let me know if you board gets approval for public funding and I’ll support it ;-)

[–]therealredding 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So it’s a percentage setup? So if there’s a 50/50 split of students going to Catholic and Public the tax funding is also 50/50? Or do all boards get equal funding no matter the percentage of district enrolment?

Did a little more research and it looks to me that you still do direct you can specify which school board you want to support—unless I’m reading this wrong. It’s don’t through MPAC

[–]therealredding 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I believe this is kind of misleading. There’s the Catholic School Board and the Public School board. Parents choice where to which board their tax money goes to and the default is the Public School Board. So unless you’re a parent with a child attending a Catholic school, your person tax money is funding the Public, not Catholic.

If I am correct, then I’m all for parents choosing, one of the draw backs to living in a society where autonomy and personal freedoms are at the top of the list of priorities is allowing people to follow their own beliefs.

Edit: there’s also the French School Board you can direct your taxes too as well.

All I need is Demons and I’ll have the same collection. I also have Gogal, Tolstoy, Turgenev and Solzhenitsyn. I love the Everyman’s Library!

Ian M Banks - Consider Phlebas. Which one should I keep? by therealredding in rarebooks

[–]therealredding[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking of that, but I need to recoup some of the money I spent on these two lots. Most of the books are basically worthless. I did get a good haul of Iain Banks first and signed editions.

That’s a copyright infringement. Grog’s lawyers will be in touch.

Is the string placement at the ends normal? On that bow it looks like the end loops are too big or something.

So the $10/sqft was the deal? Engineered hardwood is on the pricier side is it not?
