It ends up being a tiny portion of the game because it's hard to monetize.

The majority of the game will still be timer based buildings/armies (so you pay to speed up) and egregiously p2w pvp.

may I ask how you're mocking Celery to test?

the two main methods I've seen are to run tasks eagerly, or test the underlying function and avoid test Celery .delay/etc at all

I think falling is the prime example. All 4 of my grandparents were relatively healthy, no heart issues, mild elevated blood sugar not even pre-diabetic. Once they reached 70s/80s, all of them eventually fell while walking around, became wheelchair-bound or hospitalized and died after.

I wish we had good population metrics on this.

Anyone know how feasible enough to require modern (powered-everything) cars have at least 1 window that has backup manual rolling for this scenario? or is it just too rare for the increased complexity?

This whole thing is just so regressive. Every time I use my 2% back card, I know some less privileged folks paying cash gets shafted.

I wish everyone would use just debit cards over ccs, faster than trying to count out coins, less fees.

This happens across many competitive games, where you can raise your Elo/MMR by playing gimmicky stuff instead of working on fundamentals. E.g. ling rush in Starcraft, 1-tricking in League, etc etc.

Sure you can score based on flexibility, but the people who work hard on staying competitive knows at heart all ratings are just an approximation anyways. Just work on fundamentals, get good, and don't sweat the numbers. Not a problem worth fixing imo.

Can you talk more about the transition? Did you start over w/ bachelors in biology? Are you taking classes online/on the side?

I'm in a very similar situation as you and want to jump into grad school, but it looks like that's not possible w/o undergraduate degree.
