Re: Your Daily Random Comment
This is essentially what the towers forums were back when they were around. I never did towers but just from reading the forums I knew half the answers to questions new people posted. Gotta love the ever-present "read through these forums, your answers are all there."CookiePie1 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 05, 2020 3:01 pmI agree, sometimes the answers to peoples' questions are literally in the same forum threadSilverBreeze wrote: ↑Thu Mar 05, 2020 2:43 pm I have half a mind to stop checking certain event threads.

Re: Your Daily Random Comment
Or, less irritating but still existent, the question marathon, the wiki, soinc resources/links, or plain old Google(or your favorite search engine. I don't discriminate). Also, for some but not all labs(as materials can be hard to come by or due to lack of resources overall): how about just practicing it yourself? That's what you'll be doing at competition. Even then, results are fairly Google-able.PM2017 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 05, 2020 4:50 pmThis is essentially what the towers forums were back when they were around.

I know sometimes no resources are available online to answer certain questions or different sources will conflict, but that doesn't apply to many questions posted here on the forums.

Re: Your Daily Random Comment
Yup, it's that time of the season again.
That being said, PSA: be sure to thank your event supervisors and volunteers! (We put a lot of work in and try our best to make sure events go smoothly. I'm sure others will appreciate it as well!
)
Wow thanks! Us supervisors always try our best to make the events run smoothly. Good luck to you at States (and for that matter, good luck to everyone competing at Regionals or State these coming weeks)!SilverBreeze wrote: ↑Thu Mar 05, 2020 7:43 pm Good luck to everyone with upcoming competitions(competitor or volunteer)!

Good luck! You're probably going to do just fine even with those difficulties, and even if you don't, there's always next year(Or Div.
