Cant speak to OP, but this was lovely and maybe helped me with some stuff. Thank you!

For anyone in the area of Unicoi, TN, there is a group meeting at the high school tomorrow morning to help clean debris and distribute supplies.

Depends on the context. I have day-ta, you have dah-ta. They use dah-ta, and their conclusions are supported by the day-ta. That day-tabase holds lots of day-ta, and that dah-ta sent across the network.

Yeah, except my experience, it was in a team speak server, smoking cigarettes over a game of unreal or quake 3 instead of a 3" diameter cigar over a game of chess. Spiritually and effectively the same as in those old biographies though.

For reference, this was at a midsized state university in the south in the early 2010s

Dark Horse when I was younger, mostly because of all the tie-in titles. Now days, definitely DC. Image does put out some really good stuff though - basically anything by Robert Kirkman

Batman is my #1, but The Flash is solid 2nd place

I also like the Scorpion King. Even further, I like the Scorpion King franchise, especially 3 and 4

Titan AE has exactly 50% on Rotton Tomatoes, but I'm giving it a shout out anyway because it is an underrated gem

For whatever this is worth, he is argumentative & unfriendly enough for him to be mentioned multiple times in this thread as a famous asshole. (Note, many comments have now been "removed by mod" - but they were there. Just mentioning it in case someone tries to Ctrl+F their name to verify.)

I saw a comment the other day where they (Flying Squid) claimed to be in their 40s. Idk about mental health issues, but they are incredibly hostile/argumentative in comments.

Recently finished "The Astounding Wolf-man" vol. 1, and plan to get vol. 2 the next time that I go into town.

I've also had New 52 Batman vol. 4 & 5 (Zero Year Arc) sitting on my desk ready to start the moment that I take a notion. Just haven't been in as much of a comics mood lately as normal.

 

What non-fiction book could you just not put down? Was it a biography? Some obscure textbook? A collection of papers or speeches? Share your suggestions below!

 

Hey all, I want to revamp some of my assignments this coming semester. One of the first projects I always start with is something to get some hands-on experience with conditional logic. However, these projects are getting pretty stale at this point. So, I'm turning to this community for some fresh ideas.

Keep in mind, these assignments are for brand-new programmers within the first 2-4 weeks of the course. At this point, they won't have really been taught loops, functions, collections, etc., beyond that they exist. They really just know basic syntax, variable types, and terminal input and output. This is where they will practice working with boolean expressions and selection statements like if-else, if-else if-else, and switch.

Here's what I've been doing for some reference:

  • Write a program to turn an integer grade into a letter grade.

    • 50 -> F
    • 81 -> B-
    • 99 -> A+
  • Write a program to convert a number from 1 to 7 into the corresponding day of the week.

    • 1 -> Monday
    • 7 -> Sunday
  • Write a program that determines the time necessary for sound to travel a given distance in a given medium.

    • 500ft, water -> 0.1s
    • 1500ft, air -> 1.3s
  • Write a program that determines the total price of a bulk order of widgets, with discounts for orders over a certain amount according to some table.

    • 30 -> $30
    • 500 -> $300
  • Write a program that determines the quadrant of a given point.

    • 15, 7 -> Quadrant I
    • 6, -4 -> Quadrant IV
 

I'm looking for something new to play with my 7yo son. Mario games are a great amount of fun, but I'm feeling pretty burnt out and am looking to expand things a little bit. We are looking for cooperative games like Pikmin 3, Cuphead, and Hyrule Warriors rather than competitive-only games like Super Smash Brothers and Mario Kart. We appreciate whatever help you all can offer, so thanks in advance!
