Not true. They're very cliquey and xenophobic but once you manage to impress one, you have a wingman for life.

>>378492189
The whole diagram is a project, and each node is an activity within that project. So A needs to be finished before work can start on F, B and H, and so on. Each activity has a duration, and you determine the critical path by finding the path that has the longest duration, since the other paths won't be able to finish before the critical path finishes. This means that the other paths have some slack (they call it TF in that diagram for some reason), it means that they have some leeway while waiting for the critical path. For example, H can be delayed by 20 time units without delaying the overall project. This is also reflected in the latest start and finish times. H can either start or finish 20 units later. Not too sure about DRAG, it's not on my curriculum.

That's an extremely flawed study. The way we remember things is actually extremely complicated, we remember the last time we thought about the event rather than remembering the event itself. This can make stuff that happened while you we remembering it fade into the memory itself. This happens all the time and is why witness reports become less reliable as time goes on.

Thinking of cooking makes it easy to understand, but the way Infinifactory forces you to plan out putting parts together from several different pathways makes these ideas feel really familiar.

And this is the textbook we're using, apparently.

I heard jesus taught people not to fall for roasties.

Factorio taught me that like 90% of our electrical power comes from doing basic caveman shit like making water hot. Even high tech nuclear power is basically just boiling water into steam.

Mount and Blade taught me how feudalism works and how it just didn't fall apart immediately, but also how flimsy and fickle it is.

Runescape sparked an interest in cooking and metallurgy that never panned out.

It kinda goes like this:
>4 years of friendzone with "gamur gurl" in friend group during high school
>He move away to uni, still friends with her on skype
>They come back for summer, she offers relationship and they'll go to church on sundays
>They later break up because "not spending enough time with jesus"
>So he joins his uni's small group, eventually becomes a leader, heads to jesus camps around state
>Gets re-baptized with nondenominational Protestant church when we were raised Catholic
>Now his only friends with christian circlejerk bubble and gets worried after taking 1 shot
I respect the faith and what it's done, historically, but I loathe what it's done to my brother

Late response. But yes, the first section of it was making blocks into shapes.
A section was digit span memorization.
A section was essentially trivia/knowledge. Like who was Catherine the Great? Or what is Italy's capital.
A math section.
A logic section for lack of a better term.

It's been like 5 years, can't remember more. Took it for my work. If you scored over certain ranges, they'd send you off to special training and put you front and center.
I scored in the second best range with a 131. The top range was 140+.

They say that and many other mistakes, because people make them. Even if you google that word you still get results for it treating it as colloquial.

>>378496620
Of course they are, it's why propaganda exists.
>>
>>378496329
Basically. Steel is iron + carbon. Coal is a rich source of carbon. The carbon makes it stronger but more brittle.

That sometimes it's better not to shoot for the something which gives you the best result at the end, but for something that gives you good results all the way through. Kind of like carry heroes are weaker at the start and only good in the end.

I have no problem paying the full 40 bongs for a game, there just hasn't been any games released in a long time that i'd deem worth 40 bongs. At this stage it's almost fucking pointless to buy games at launch because a year down the line you can buy the GOTY edition for the same price or less with all the additional content.

It's like the tech industry, early adopters actually get fucked over pretty hard.

It makes sense, putting your own wellbeing and life first should go above all else in a survival situation, people who go out of their way to help others would be the first to die out, while the misanthropes, the selfish and the sociopaths would likely survive for much longer.

We're talking about an apocolypse scenario like zombies or mutants, it's much easier to stay hidden as a single man than a massive group. More mouths = more resources required to survive.

A lone man in the woods would outsurvive an entire city. Cities in general are the worst possible place to be during any form of viral outbreak.
