The post was 6 hours old when I replied, so if he somehow hadn't solved it yet then I think he's probably going to fail the class regardless of whether I post the answer to one homework problem or not. Or he just likes to procrastinate... but he was obviously logged in to the e-learning platform and looking at the homework problem, so I really assumed that he'd already solved it.
-
@anotherusername Ok but still don't do it.
FREE HOMEWORK SERVICES! ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS WAIT SIX HOURS! THIS FORUM IS FULL OF STUPID MORONS WHO ARE GULLIBLE AS SHIT AND WILL DO YOUR SHIT FOR YOU FOR FREE!!!
-
@blakeyrat Ok but still don't tell me what to do.
If I started noticing a pattern of @pie_flavor asking to have people do his homework, yeah, then I'd probably have a problem with doing it.

@anotherusername Will you give me free labor if I pretend I'm in a course? Because I have a painting my garage class coming up, and it's been 6 whole hours since I got the assignment to paint my garage.

@blakeyrat It takes about as much work for him to copy the results from here as it does solving it directly. Plus he could just paste the values into WolframAlpha or something.

I might consider giving you free labor if you were offering free pizza, beer, and a round-trip plane ticket from Dubuque to Seattle.

@anotherusername said in The Official Status Thread:
I'm having a brain fart... it IS Seattle, right?
Yes, somewhere in the Seattle area. I know the general part of the Seattle area he used to live in (he once, when looking for a job, mentioned which bus he'd take to downtown Seattle, and it's one that went through my area), but I don't know what part of the area he moved to when he bought his house.
You'd also need to get from SeaTac to there, wherever there is.
-
@HardwareGeek Yeah, I have no idea why but for some reason I originally wrote Portland.

STATUS: The summer RPG campaign ended yesterday. The GMs summary of the final battle:
The conclusion of the summer campaign ended with one character being killed in the first round of the final battle with an arrow through the brain, and another character being castrated by a dire wolf. And everyone was covered in scars. Everyone... Scars... on everyone.
Although we also stuck an arrow through the brain of the main villain (my character's brother). It didn't kill him, though, but it left him braindamaged and gibbering until we had to put him down for good. RIP bro.
My gûrd assassin lost an eye, which was not optimal as his weapon of choice was a crossbow. Although I had some fun with my 1.1m character wielding a 2.5m spear fending off attackers from climbing up to our vantage point while the wolfgirl was shooting the enemy archers with her bow.
The warrior and healer was handling the villain's dire wolf. The healer was still showing her superiority in melee combat and hitting the wolf every time, although the poor warrior finally got a hit in the end. Although he did lose his family jewels in the process.
All in all, the campaign had a large amount of groin attacks. The guy who died took like 4 attacks in the crotch, including two arrows in a row(!) in one fight. Although he died a hero's death, defending his people. RIP you 12yo 2.2m orc.
And I found it fun our female elf healer managed to end up with a penalty to personality should she ever show her boobs thanks to getting a scar across one. :P

It's a little odd, there are zero shipping options. You just enter your address and get a total. I guess they missed out the words '* offer applies to US customers' in the banner.
Edit: Well, this UI is bullshit. If you try to place the order then this appears from nowhere:
Mystery solved then, it's a Hazmat fee. Arrow is literally the only supplier for these that will ship to the UK so I guess I get to pay exorbitant shipping and like it.

What are the other options?

- 5, 6: below the belt
- 7, 8: between the upper thighs
etc

@hungrier The hit system has a lot of possible areas to be hit in. Every limb and joint, crotch, belly, chest, neck, skull, face... Also, damage calculation is interesting. You do x amount of damage. And for every 10 damage there is an additional effect added. And it's the additional effects that can cause the major damages. The killing blow vs player character was caused by an arrow doing 44(!) damage to the face, causing 4 extra effects, with the final one being lethal on its own. ("It caused 6 pain, 6 bleeding and 82 trauma." "82 trauma is more than what I can put on the combat sheet!" "Yeah, you're dead.")
It was more fun when I managed to oneshot a guard by shooting him in the back of the head. "The guard starts running away, calling for help, when the bolt hits him square in the back of the head and he falls down, stone dead."
Then I managed to escape while the others in my party were being attacked by the other guards, where our warrior was beaten half to death and thrown into jail and our merchant managed to talk his way out of an arrest. "Oh, no, I misread the situation! I thought the guard was a villain so I slashed him in the leg! Honest mistake!"

The bus route I need to travel to work has not recovered yet, and the bus route to MTR station only has limited service, so... second day "obstacle course" before work today.
Our government is lame (or I should use stronger words) to declare everybody can resume their normal daily work yesterday.

I have lost the context of this statement. Bus routes are either operable or not, what does it mean "to be recovering"? :/

[Pic]Yeah, see, there's no partial state here. Either "debris is removed" and thus bus can route, or "debris remains" and bus can not route. The interim state of "debris is in progress of being removed" is incidental to the prior and doesn't really affect it.

Two-day shipping taking a week. I understand it's probably a fulfillment thing but it's not showing me what items if any are contributing to that. It's split my cart into two sections, for some reason, but the delivery time on both is the same.
It's just confusing UI with no explanation.
-
@heterodox Ah, I see. Shipping depends on the vendor in question; if you get it straight from Amazon you're likely to have less issues.

And some staircase on the way that was still blocked by fallen trees.

Status: The new network lab is nice and cool and spacious, the office is cramped and warm and bad air. Tempting to move to the lab for working, but the office has the comfy chair and the big screen... In reality I'd like to go home and rest due to not feeling fully well, but can't yet because I am responsible for closing the floor before leaving today.

@Cursorkeys Could you replace with CR2032? Those should be cheaply available.
