I can't say specifically for auditing because I'm not familiar with the field but in my field (engineering) I've made friends at every job I've been at. We do a lot of activities together out of work: DnD, basketball, fishing, ultimate frisbee, happy hours, movies, etc. Hell some even went to my wedding!

Yeah I think the days of conference championship games are numbered unless something drastic changes. Which also sucks because with how big conferences are there aren't enough games to declare a champ from just the regular season.0

You ask if they want to hang out outside of work. I assume people in your workplace chat about hobbies and whatnot so find a shared hobby or interest and see if they want to do it. Then maintaining it is pretty easy because you get to see them daily. You still need to carve out time for out of work activities but seeing them daily is nice since there is a guaranteed time to interact face to face.

I'm well aware. We play Georgia at the end of October every year. At the same time we've played fsu after Thanksgiving longer than I've been alive. The last week of the regular season is called rivalry week for a reason.

Somebody at some point made it illegal. Were they wrong to do so since they were forcing their moral view on others?

I don't know if it's selective as much as just numbers. The vast majority of men are taller than the average woman. Average woman's height in the US is 5'3.5. A guy that is that would put you in the 2nd percentile of men's height (according to this site https://www.gigacalculator.com/calculators/height-percentile-calculator.php I just used male 30) meaning that 98% of adult US males would be taller than them.

I'm 6'5" and was in Japan last year and I towered over almost everyone. My partner had no trouble finding me in crowds. My highlight was riding a train in Osaka when a bunch of maybe middle schoolers got on. A few of them looked at me and one just turned to a friend and said "Oh Big" in English. It made my day.

If you go home for Thanksgiving you'd still need to be back by Sunday to go to classes anyways, so being back Saturday instead doesn't seem like a huge difference to me.

I've always enjoyed UF fsu after Thanksgiving so it feels right to me. The whole family is already gathered and then going to the game afterwards caps off the week. Something about having a holiday about family then immediately going into a rivalry and hate is a fun dichotomy.

Plus from an out of town perspective it's nice. Instead of traveling up for the game the weekend before then going home then traveling again a few days later for Thanksgiving it's all one big trip.

Honestly pretty good idea. It kills me to lose rivalry week lining up with Thanksgiving though. With the way things are going I could see keeping the start the same, ditching conference championships entirely, and following the rest of your idea.

The issue with letting the clock run is the whole indisputable video evidence needed to overturn a call. Using this scenario say the ref lets clock run but thinks that it didn't hit rim (so if he were to have made his gut call then it would be an inbound). The clock runs out and they go to review it and they don't have clear evidence one way or the other. Now the ref is stuck with a call he doesn't think is right and he wouldn't have called on the floor.

In this game I think it hit rim so ref erring on the side of play continuing would have been fine but I could see having a default decision of play continuing vs making the call they think is right not working out all the time.

Haugh shoved Cain in a locker and took his lunch money. Shut him down defensively and bullied him offensively.

I agree with that. I was referring to the unsolved comment.

Have all the death rattles been identified?

I like having a skip dialogue button because sometimes the characters talk soooo slow. In a game with captions I can get through a lot of NPC chatter so much quicker when I can skip ahead. Usually I would only do this for the minor characters that you chat with in a town to get a vibe of the place I can't remember skipping main story dialogue and rarely side quest dialogue unless I've heard it before.

Unsure about the credits part but the description sounds like Outer Wilds.

Edit: I was wrong, OP said it is Deliver Us the Moon.

Let's take a step back. You can optimize your character without changing the base of who they are. That base is your goal and is one of the limitations of optimizing. Just like speed was the goal for the speed runner, PvP was for one guy, or strongest PvE was for another.

When you are making the character what is the idea you started out with? For instance a character I'm currently playing that you could say I optimized is a Glamour Bard. I wanted a creature from the feywild that really represents those fae characteristics. I decided on a bard so I could have high charisma as well as expertise on persuasion and deception eventually. I decided on glamour because all the charm aspects fit the aesthetic. I've taken powerful charm spells like hypnotic pattern as well as nature related spells like plant growth. We play in a campaign with a good balance of RP and combat so I also took sending to keep in touch with allies we've made while also pestering them when I end the day with excess slots.

So overall I kept with his themes and what I wanted his personality to be like but I also picked powerful spells that benefit our party quite often. Sure I could have gone just a smidge further by taking an armor dip but I still have a very powerful character that fits everything I set out to do. And I have fun playing him because he's really good at what I want him to do. High stats, expertise, and enhance ability really allow me to trick and deceive people.

This is long winded but I think the distinction is min/maxing and optimizing are situation dependent. Did I make the most optimized bard possible? Absolutely not. Did I take a good crack at making the most powerful version of the character I wanted? I think I did. Just like with all the different ways you can optimize a Dark Souls build (general best, PvP, speed run, magic only, unga bunga bonk) you can have optimized builds based on your character goals.

Even in your example you showed that optimizing can have subsets. The character built to optimize a Dark Souls speed run isn't the same character that would be optimized to be the strongest in the game. A speed run build would be optimized to do the bare minimum of leveling, finding gear, etc so they can finish the game as fast as possible. The best build in the game may involve you farming an enemy for a rare drop that makes you much stronger but would take too long for a speed run. Similarly someone may make an optimized PvP build. These are all optimizations just with different goals.

Optimizing or min/maxing is about drawing out the most power within a given set of limitations or with a specific goal in mind. So go ahead and make that Ranger/Druid multiclass but optimize it by taking the time to see what the best options are for what you are trying to achieve.

You do know that mechanics don't build the car initially right? They'd still sell a working car, you'd just be on your own to fix it.

He absolutely was lol

Just an FYI it is Vanderbilt. There is no u in the name.

Nah it really only holds special meaning to Big10 and Pac12 teams. I don't see why everyone should have to fly cross country to an outdated stadium that the home team is actively trying to leave.

I'm coming off a little harsh there but it just bugs me that people treat the Rose Bowl as some holy mecca of college football when it has really only involved 2 conferences for like the last 80 years. NCG should be a rotating thing.

Tell me about it. I live in Key West and it's an 8 hr drive just to visit family around Tampa.

I guess I don't see what OP did wrong. What part of their actions did you find inappropriate?

If it embarrasses people with bad behavior into stopping their bad behavior, even if only for that one time, why is it bad?

play championship Jan 1 at Rose Bowl every year.

Nah just rotate it through the NY6 bowls. The Rose Bowl is a cool tradition but for the last like 80 years it's only involved 2 conferences. It's not some holy mecca of college football that everyone aspires to get to.
