It's bad enough inside (the doors don't seal very well, frustratingly) that the cats are sneezing and looking at us reproachfully. All I can do is replace the filter on the air purifier in our bedroom and imply that's a better place for them to hang out. >.< Looking forward to the wind shift that carries this away, even though it was refreshingly cool out. I'm currently using some of the "Oh no" masks I got early in the pandemic that don't work that well. Except that I can put some coffee filters in them that work really well in current conditions. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kangaroorex Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 feeling merciful today. decided not to let my party go through the temple of Poseidon with less than half the suggested levels... They will continue their undersea adventure instead. trying to convince the king of the sea elves to commit his army to their cause (the party does not know that there is no army, the city is under a spell so that the residents can only see the city as it was 500 years ago when it was a trading nexus. now it is mostly ruins and the only quarter of the city that is active is the administration sector. What was a city of 50000 is now a crumbling ruin with maybe 500 inhabitants) Although the party can see the state of the city they can also see the fake people (at least until they successfully disbelieve the illusion and no one has tried yet) and since they have never been to an undersea city before they have no idea what an undersea city is supposed to look like. my plan is for them to find the cause of this problem. they can stop it, but that wont fix the fact that the army they think exists isnt there and they will have to find a new one somewhere else... 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Crowley Posted September 12, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 12, 2020 Well, that was grueling... I was working to the last second, didn't finish the last bit, was throwing in numbers was I watched the clock count down... I've never before run out the clock on a test. It will be a miracle if I hit 75%, but only a small one I think... I might have passed... maybe. If I got lucky with which questions were test questions... Hmm... Ah well. Now the waiting game until the results come out next month. Off to go get my flu shot! 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't a more correct answer be to leave one blank? if you didn't know the answer; rather than just throw in a number? As a working professional, seems like if some accounting problem was so bad the answer defied you, you'd stop, say I don't know, I need to look that up.

Some tests penalize you for guessing (like the SAT back when i took it) but others, Like the EIT, offer no penalty for a wrong answer over a blank so why not? Of course the first case leads to some interesting cases where you can get half credit for turning in a sheet with just your name... 42 minutes ago, TGP said: That is cruel… It's a gate tool. I'm guessing the goal is to limit supply to the truly gifted or dedicated. @Crowley. I hope you succeed!

I mean, sure, I can make it work on the chromebook now but that's because I'm an early millennial, I'm of the generation that clicks all the buttons and pulls all the levers to learn technology because I had no other option ever. All of my students are terrified of breaking something without training that the school is not providing. I had to talk two guys through 'how to learn by pushing random buttons' today during my office hours. I love how you accurately described my approach to every technology ever. If that's really what it means to be an early millennial, then I'm okay with calling myself such. I've avoided the label like the plague due to its negative connotation, even though my birth year ('85) puts me in the millennial range based on some charts. I' m sort of an in-between, where I grew up before internet and cell phones were a big thing, but now own a smart phone and am comfortable with most electronic devices. I'm gonna tell people from now on that I'm part of the PUSH ALL THE BUTTONS generation. Huzzah! --OneBoot :D 13 1 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some charts call me an early millennial, others lump me into gen x, and still others throw up their hands and give up on me. I'm a generational cusp but definitely feel more like a millennial than anything prior. To uphold the idea of a cusp, my younger sister, born '85, is really more of a gen x-er in financial situation, in ideals, in her relationship with technology, and in her husband. Push ALL THE BUTTONS! And pull all the levers 12 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
