| Sahuagin 11/27/18 9:49:52 PM #39 | jramirez23 posted... Instead, teachers are trying to convey that this kind of multiplication requires using the Distributive Property. hmmm, this is actually the opposite of what I said. that's a better thing to learn than FOIL, but I can see how FOIL would be tempting as a quick trick that requires zero understanding. --- |

| Topic | Dear python developers of PotD |
| Sahuagin 11/25/18 4:47:49 AM #9 | hmmm, yes if I do a an http get request from code, I get back a "we think you're a bot" page. a suggestion here is to use "selenium web driver" (hmmm, though that's probably what you mean by "headless browser") https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/71869/bot-detection-via-browser-fingerprinting maybe you could do it with a userscript? for example, the div that holds the main table has id "content", so you can pull out its html with $("#content").html();you could then use ajax to write the html to a server, and then process it however you like (or you could do your processing in javascript, pull data out of the html and send that back to the server) --- |

| Sahuagin 11/21/18 9:34:54 PM #10 | Lokarin posted... bending at the knee and going BAPP! on whatever is right behind you at first I thought you sounded right, but yeah, thinking about it, kicking backwards is controlled by your hamstrings. calf muscles control pushing your foot/toes. the exercise for calves is holding weights while standing with your toes on the edge of a step, and then lifting yourself up and down on your toes. --- |

| Sahuagin 11/21/18 9:14:37 PM #2 | squats, quad extensions, hamstring curls squats requires a barbell (well, or two dumbells but you need a lot of weight) extensions/curls requires a machine as far as I know, or at least a bench with the right addon --- |

| Topic | Audio drivers suddenly stop working? |
| Sahuagin 11/20/18 11:26:54 PM #2 | is this realtek onboard audio? from my experience, realtek audio is notoriously glitchy. one computer, the audio will just glitch out randomly and stop working until a reboot. another computer, I guess the speaker port detection wires are crossed, so to have rear channels enabled, I have to have a plug in some random speaker port that I wouldn't otherwise use. (something like placing a plug in the orange port turns on the black port, or w/e). anyway, due to years of experiencing these kinds of random glitches with onboard audio, which seem to be unique to each computer, my recommendation would be to get a dedicated sound card unless you can manage to find a solution to your exact issue. --- |

| Topic | What's a good hard game from this year that will push ma shit in? |
| Sahuagin 11/20/18 11:18:06 PM #15 | Lokarin posted... Wait, is DQ11 actually a hard? not exactly, it's embarrassingly easy on "normal" (though I didn't play it very far that way, so I don't know what it's like later). but if you turn on hard enemies, then normal enemies are closer to how they should have been, and bosses will kick your ass. no matter what modes you enable, though, you can still avoid map enemies with relative ease, which is annoying. one of the draconian settings should have been "enemies attack you from a much greater distance and move much faster" or something, but alas. --- |
| Topic | What is your favorite type of pizza? |
| Sahuagin 11/19/18 9:24:04 PM #37 | pepperoni pizza is in a class by itself. possibly with extra cheese and extra pepperoni. and then you can modify it ever so slightly by adding just mushrooms, or just onions, or just green peppers, each being very subtly different than regular pepperoni. other than that, deluxe is also great a custom one that's very good and pretty unconventional is: cheddar cheese tomatoes x2 chicken alfredo sauce (FYI cheddar + tomatoes is a great taste combination in general; try putting canned tomatoes on your macaroni and cheese) --- |
| Topic | What's a good hard game from this year that will push ma shit in? |
| Sahuagin 11/19/18 8:36:39 PM #5 | Kigalas posted... DQXI with full Draconian options sort of this. don't play with all of them, but definitely play with hard enemies (and maybe less XP from weak enemies). it would be nice if the regular enemies were harder (and you couldn't avoid them so easily) and if the bosses were a little easier. as it is, the enemies are medium, and the bosses annihilate you. --- |

| Sahuagin 11/18/18 12:21:39 AM #31 | dragon504 posted... I'm fairly convinced the lure of big bucks via space mining will eventually be a big leap in space tech/travel. The sheer amount of valuable metals in some asteroids is too big of a lure imo. Then, if we can process the metal while it's still in space, we'll open up a ton of space construction options/possibilities. yes, metallic asteroids are supposed to be worth in the tens of trillions of dollars. a problem with that, though, is that the price of metal wouldn't stay so high if we had that much of it. mining a gold asteroid would make you a lot of money at first, but it would also crash the price the gold. --- |
| Topic | Mistake to never repeat: I locked myself out of my running car |
| Sahuagin 11/17/18 10:48:43 PM #26 | Doctor Foxx posted... Somehow today when I turned on the car and shut the door, the doors all locked themselves. don't some cars have that exact feature, that they auto-lock all doors? I feel like I've been in a car that did that. (I think triggered when you start driving forward or something like that.) my rule, though I don't currently do it for my car, is to never close a door of any kind without both checking its lock state, and also squeezing the key for the door in my hand if it is locked. when I locked myself out of my running car, I actually already had two sets of keys. (I left my car running and locked while making deliveries in apartment buildings.) the mistake I made both times was putting my spare key down for a split second while gathering everything I needed, and then forgetting it. using the "squeeze the key" rule would have worked back then. --- |

| Topic | What is the most WORTHLESS DLC you've ever bought in your life? |
| Sahuagin 11/17/18 1:23:02 AM #5 | Some of the later Borderlands 2 DLCs were pretty weak. IIRC it was the thanksgiving one that had a "raid boss" that was (very minor spoiler but just in case you'd want to be surprised by it) but no, I think the "most worthless" one must have been ~$3 for more BG1 portraits. you get 6 whole portraits, described as "a world of possibilities". --- |
| Topic | Attn fox |
| Sahuagin 11/16/18 1:26:46 PM #16 | well that sucks. they should be able to open it easy enough though. (metal slidy thing under the window). I have done that at least twice. once I had to wait for a tow truck to come and open the door, the other time I had to walk a couple kms to retrieve my other key. for this reason I always try to make sure to have a second key somewhere in the house. (though it sounds like you're locked outside, too? that's pretty lousy.) --- |

| Topic | Favorite dungeon in Ocarina of Time |
| Sahuagin 11/16/18 1:08:48 PM #64 | IIRC Spirit Temple (that's the one with light and sand right?) was too easy it was a great challenge to get there, but it being the last one, it should have been a real challenge once you were inside, too. but inside, it was super easy. just easy puzzle after easy puzzle with no real danger. everytime I've done that part of the game I just had the feeling of "well that should have been harder but sure wasn't". Ganon's castle or whatever was a lot better, but still felt too short. --- |

| Sahuagin 11/11/18 2:28:49 PM #27 | Judgmenl posted... I just feel empty inside because my life has no meaning I guess because you're not immortal, so you're feeling the future timeline of your life going nowhere and terminating at a pointless end. you're "supposed" to have a family/kids so that you can continue to progress. otherwise you're just dying a slow pointless death. --- |
| Topic | What's the weirdest thing you've seen a drunk person do? |
| Sahuagin 11/10/18 4:44:59 PM #31 | being a guy driving around with a car at night tended to make me a target for drunks looking for a free taxi. (still happens if I go out to get gas late enough at night...) the funniest one (though this may actually be two separate incidents that my memory is conflating) was coming back to my car to find a drunk guy failing to enter the back seat of my car due to the wall of newspapers on my backseat. (he had opened the door but couldn't figure out how to enter the car.) the guy was in a t-shirt in -20C weather, holding a box of donuts in one hand and a half-eaten donut in the other, noticeably shivering with his nose running. he needed a ride or a phone call (this was before smart phones), but I needed to keep working and we were 1 block away from a 7-Eleven, with the sign clearly visible, so I just directed him there, though he didn't seem to want to go there. I just left him, assuming he'd be ok in such close proximity to the 7-Eleven. another one was a drunk girl who needed a ride. she just opened the passenger door and sat in my running car while I was away. I think she made up an address for me to take her to "3333 33 ST", but that happened to actually be a nearby address (so maybe it was real, I dunno), so I drove there and left her there at like 3am in a residential area. no idea what happened to her. (checking the map, I'm pretty sure I was way off though. I didn't put much effort into getting to the right place since I just wanted to get rid of her. once she was out of my car I just left. if that was the real address she wanted, then it was really like 6 blocks away on the other side of a major road.) --- |

| Topic | Recommend a game 'cuz I'm dying of mediocrity |
| Sahuagin 11/10/18 2:05:51 PM #8 | Doom (the newish one) - best action game in a very long time. runs surprisingly well on medium hardware since its so optimized. Rimword - worth playing and very interesting and fun, though I have a hard time seeing it as a game that I'd like to play tons of. basically, assign roles to your colonists based on their strengths in the hope that they can do the work necessary to survive. the games idea of challenge, though, is to just throw an ever larger swarm of enemies at you every now and then, which is kind of not that interesting. it has gotten a lot more complex since the last time I played it though. Factorial - I assume you mean Factorio. a game about automating crafting. takes genuine skill to keep your ever growing base organized and functioning. easily one of the best games of all time. on the one hand it takes real mental effort to succeed, but on the other hand you can automate almost everything, so even though it takes work, you're always rewarded by the fact that once you get it working, it runs itself. --- |
| Topic | I don't have the nostalgia for Diablo that others have |
| Sahuagin 11/10/18 1:43:17 AM #13 | I've liked some diablo clones, and diablo 3 was ok, but I've never really liked the original diablo, either Dungeon Siege 1 and Darkstone are both really good clones (they're not fantastic or anything, and they're hard to get into, but there's some definite and unique value in both of them). --- |

| Sahuagin 11/10/18 12:37:43 AM #5 | this is stupid, another one where they are referring to the word itself and not using it as a word. it shouldn't be offensive to refer to the word innocuously. --- |
| Topic | Bonus level/Boss music |
| Sahuagin 11/09/18 9:27:24 PM #32 | Entity13 posted... No, because the placement of that slash is important, and asks for eggs that are green or blue. With your interpretation of the topic title, "Bonus level/Boss," applied to "some green/blue" you would be saying "some green" versus "blue," just blue without a quantifier. Since "some" quantifies either-or in the eggs scenario in regards to the choice of color, "Bonus" applies the same with to levels and bosses. oh ok, so it's "bonus level music or bonus boss music"? so I was half-right at first. and I've now posted examples of each. --- |

| Topic | Bonus level/Boss music |
| Sahuagin 11/09/18 8:06:30 PM #29 | Entity13 posted... I'm sure that interpretation was there due to the slash placement. The one you went with would be like looking at the title "Green Eggs and Ham" (without looking at the accompanying image) and seeing it as the eggs being green while the ham remained its usual color. isn't it more like saying "give me some green/blue eggs", and then complaining when you get green eggs and blue eggs instead of green-blue eggs? --- |
| Topic | Bonus level/Boss music |
| Sahuagin 11/09/18 7:54:18 PM #26 | Entity13 posted... That is great and all, but I though this topic was for bonus areas/bosses, not final bosses? oh I see, "bonus boss" music? the title looks like it's saying bonus level music and boss music --- |
