I always really enjoyed Home Improvement and it's still my favorite comedy show of that type. I remember watching Boy Meets World, but I barely remember anything about it. For me it was always average.

What are the cost of living differences? If they are relatively the same you sound like you'd be happier with the one that is in a better area. Plus the gap isn't as big if that one has better benefits.

Tag for X6 reactions!
The game actually has a lot of potential, but there are just so many flaws. The worst fire level ever, and its not even the fire that makes it terrible lol. Obnoxious weather and other affects that can randomly happen in any level. Permadeath for the robots you need to save for parts. A whole batch of bots that are impossible to locate/rescue (such as in the ice level) until you locate some obsure/helpful bot with a super useful part. And of course one of those ice bots also had a useful part for rescuing other bots.

It does have some sweet music though.

Other comments:
Yellow Devil needs to go away. He's really not all that fun to fight.

The gimmick of re-fighting every boss at the end of the game needs to go away. Or at the very least there needs to be a save point afterwards. So that if you need to take a break, or get beaten by Wily (in the classics) or Sigma that you don't need to fight them a third...fourth...fifth time.

Nope! It's the smarter choice. Earn the credits from the classes no one cares about, and then transfer.

CC is also the smarter place to start because you don't waste nearly as much money if you decide college isn't for you.

If I'm paying $13,000 for tuition, I would expect something to be relevant every year I'm there. I was majoring in computer science, and I took:
* English writing
* Chemistry
* US History
* World Geography
* Psychology

I remember sitting in World Geography class being tasked with memorizing the names of rivers in France at a time where Google Maps was new and wondering what the point of the class was for me.

I think anyone who goes to college would want to have a well-rounded education

Nah - Not everyone who attended college thinks the "well-rounded" thing is necessary. It's just an excuse to drag out the experience for 4 years to get the piece of paper at the end.

This is why trade schools should be encouraged. You focus on learning practical skills for the thing that you are learning.

I tip a minimum of $4, and usually in the $5-8 range. For delivery the price of the food doesn't really matter. Distance driven is a much more helpful measure.

Yes you are paying extra already for the service fees, and item charge-ups. If you disagree with the fees then don't use the service. Don't take it out on the delivery driver.

Many of those grad students are probably months away from the same level of education as those CC instructors, if not better educated. Silly point.

As long as the grad student wants to teach, and can be an effective teacher that is what matters. I have the same problem with professors that just want to do research and absolutely hate the teaching aspect. Just because you understand the subject doesn't mean you should be teaching.

I did have two grad students. I liked one of the two so they can be effective enough if they know what they are doing in the classroom.

Nah - Community college is great. Save yourself thousands of dollars a semester by going to community college. You can transfer to the university when you're done.

Honestly I have no real school loyalty. But I have more loyalty/respect for the CC than I do the university I attended. I found the teaching quality to be about the same if not better at the CC. It was really nice to not be in an auditorium with 1000 other students. Or be taught by a grad student. Or taught by someone that wanted to do research and hated the teach aspect.

And now that I'm participating in panel interviews in a remote world...some candidates could benefit from having some notes lol. The interviews are stressful enough! Nothing wrong with having something to reference real quick.

I had an NES and a Genesis as a kid, and watched the industry go from that to the N64/PS1, to the PS2/Gamecube, to the PS360

it feels like the industry is running out of unique milestones. PS4/XBONE didnt excite me, either. I mean the graphics jumps are still neat, but theres nothing that made the PS4 feel fundamentally different than the PS3 to me.

oh, except maybe the un-deletable, un-sortable apps you had to scroll through on the home screen fuck Sony lmao

This pretty much. I barely saw a difference between PS3 and PS4. I have zero idea what benefit the PS5 brings. I'll probably buy it someday, but for now I'll keep playing my backlog of PS4, Wii U, Switch, and PC games.
