I’ll have to try this at the range. Seems like a tough shot to execute, but would be nice to know how to do. Thanks for the advice.

Yeah this is my fear. I don’t really know how to hit a flop, so I just chip it extra far to avoid the bunker.

Amazon, sort of. It absolutely cannot be beat for convenience. Ordering something in 15 seconds, then having it shipped within 48 hours is unmatchable.

But if you plan ahead, and aren’t an impulse buyer, you can find alternatives with better products and similar prices. Most stuff on Amazon is absolute junk with clickfarm reviews.

Ironically Reddit was really good for finding niche websites for whichever product you were looking for. Hopefully Lemmy will reach that point eventually.

Reading this right now, and a little over halfway through. Enjoying it, but it took a long time for me to really sink my teeth into it. It’s a very long book and a slow burn.

This might be a stupid answer, but I genuinely think Americans couldn’t handle that system. We already have problems with people not stopping properly at stop signs. If we had the “give way” system too many people would just ignore it and cause accidents.

I realize this is super pessimistic, but I think it’s true. We have a handful of roundabouts and people always screw them up.

I don’t think Americans are inherently dumber or anything, I just think our licensing exam is laughably easy. You literally just parallel park, then drive in a square where you encounter one traffic light, and one stop sign. Exam was over in 5 minutes. Here’s your license.

I’m ostensibly a Watford fan, having lived near there as a kid before moving to the States, but I don’t really support any particular team. I kinda pick new stories each year that I like to follow. I realize this is probably a strange way to watch football, but it works for me.

The teacher doesn’t need to write all of that to get the point across. They can speak to them on the side and say, “remember when we worked on reasonableness last Tuesday?”

Guides are really helpful for finding interesting synergies between skills and aspects and whatnot, without having to theorycraft. I find it difficult to enjoy a build unless I understand all those synergies.

So the guides actually enhance my appreciation of the game because they help me discover builds that work, and thus builds that I enjoy.

Reddit is like 50% of the reason Google is even useful anymore haha. So much useful, niche information.

This is one of those problems that makes more sense with context. The teacher had the students working on “reasonableness”, which is essentially “does the question I’m asking make sense?”. The students were probably instructed to ignore actually trying to solve the problem when presented with one, but instead explain why the question either does or doesn’t make sense.

In this case the student potentially misunderstood the task. The failure on the teacher’s part is wording the question in such a way that it actually has a reasonable solution, and isn’t necessarily an unreasonable question.
