    I haven't watched Mr. Bean but Yes Minister is a British show and had me laughing all the time! Much different than any American comedy I've ever seen but quite interesting and a r…

    I think its all good because Cassevah is a willing percipient! If we forced someone to do this against their will I don't think there would be much excitement... He is going for th…

    All good points! I forgot to add in my original post but I also totally shop on Amazon as well; I just like eBay better. Another point for eBay is that you can combine shipping at …

    Magic the Gathering cards come to mind! Buying MTG cards from Amazon can be a little risky as there is a non zero chance of getting a box with already opened packs [0]. Customers b…

    100%! My point still stands though. I don't like buying something when I don't know who I'm getting it from!

    As of right now I honestly think eBay is better than amazon in many ways. Obviously getting anything used or rare is significantly easier but many other things are much cheaper [0]…

    In your specific scenario it doesn't (I think!). However, if the host doesn't know what door the prize is behind then there is a 1/3 chance of picking the prize and you instantly l…

    > If someone is caught cheating how do I know they didn't cheat in previous classes, but got away with it? I could be wrong but I don't think this happens that often. If you cheate…

    Love OpenMW! Got my old disk to work on my Linux system and it was super easy. If you want to play Morrowind I would highly recommend it.

    Wasn't LUNA in the top 10 coins? If so that seems like a big deal. That would be like Coca Cola going to zero.

    Yeah the two main places where it comes up for me is LebreOffice and Google Docs! I'm surprised as word doesn't have it as its quite useful. It's really nice when I'm doing citatio…

    Fair enough! If you don't understand the material it makes sense you wouldn't be able to properly judge how well you're doing. Thanks for the thoughtful response

    Yeah I see what you're saying! However, for me specifically, I know the mistakes were not fundamental ( Just gotta trust me on this one xD ). The other comment pointed out that if …

    I think most people can measure progress without grades! For me at least, getting a 90% on a test is usually the same as a 100%. That 10% difference is almost always just silly mat…
