This is how order of operations works, pemdas and pedmas are the same thing, just different specifications based on which comes first left to right

The reason they both exist is because when you lay out the equation on paper which one is left and which is right, the left to right rule doesn't work when you get to algebra or solving both sides of an equation,

Multiplication/Division (left to right)

Addition/Subtraction (left to right)

which is why instead of this left to right thing you just switch from PEMDAS TO PEDMAS, often a question will actually mention which of the two to use because the left to right thing leads to errors, it did for me when I tried doing it during engineering math in first year, that's why I really don't like mentioning it.
 

Welcome to the world of math theory and why I hate math.

This is incorrect

PEMDAS is

Parenthesis

Exponents

Multiplication/Division (left to right)

Addition/Subtraction (left to right)

So P is first in PEMDAS

1+2 is 3

Now its MD of PEMDAS

Going left to right, the division is first

So we get 3(3)

Which is 9

You're using PEDMAS for that, PEMDAS is multiplication first. At some point it switched and I can't quite remember when. You don't go left to right you solve all for each letter first, that's why at some point PEMDAS became PEDMAS.

It's 9

google does order of equations wrong, I hate math but even I remember pemdas, 2+1=3 so it becomes 6 divided by 2 times 3, which becomes 6 divided by 6 which becomes 1. Course if we want to go by how calculators do it today instead of the historical version it's 9 but I really think that's just lazy order of equations. Idk maybe my math teachers were just old.

Hello and welcome to the combined February and March newsletter. The foreword is going to be rather short this time around, to introduce myself I'm the new co-TL for the Public Relations team @flamie Alexis uwu! A new addition to the newsletter is that we will be making a list of all promotions for the months prior to the newsletter.

 

For this month we have hidden a single Easter egg within the newsletter. Be the first to find it and either message @flamie Alexis (Alexis#9876) or @Salad (Salad#6564) to claim your prize! This section will be updated once there is a winner. Good luck uwu!

UPDATE: @ChubbyLucky has found the Easter egg and has won 1 month of VIP!

Recently, @Bue. decided to step down from her Position as Rust Division Leader. Some of you may have known Bue for her consistent amount of activity in the GFL community. However, after her resignation, a replacement for her position had to be found. So, with that in mind,  we’d like to give an official welcome to @Hatehim222 as our new Rust Division Leader! With previous experience as a Server Manager for Rust, he’ll be sure to make good choices regarding the future of GFL’s Rust Division. Of course, that won’t undermine Bue’s contributions to the Community. Be sure to give them both a (Virtual) pat on the shoulder for what they’ve done, and for what’s to come.

We are excited to announce the opening of our very own Affiliate Streamer Program for GFL! This is aimed to provide greater incentives to those who wish to stream on any GFL server playing any GFL-supported gametype. Among many perks is a monthly VIP status, alongside an elevated Affiliated Streamer role for the main GFL Discord server.

 

We’ve already accepted our first Affiliated Streamer, in fact; congrats to @Benowy! His Twitch channel can be found here.

In October 2020, it had been announced that GFL was setting up an expansion of servers into Europe. However, as of now, said expansion has yet to find a suitable state of release for server divisions to implement, and we apologize for this. The full situation is quite nuanced and technical; if you wish to see a full explanation from @Roy, you can click here --otherwise, you can read a run-down of it below.
 

What’s Happening:

 

• The problem centers around the BGP session of the UK POP not appearing successfully--an issue stemming from the hosting provider, who has been very busy

• In short, the BGP announces IP blocks; without either of these functioning, the server traffic would end up being viewed as “spoofed” and drop the packets, as both need to operate on the same switch the UK server tower is connected to

 

A Temporary Solution - Unimplementable:

 

• Prior to about a month ago, our hosting provider had rather strict policies on packets using an IPIP Protocol--the very same type used by Roy’s IPIPDirect program for our servers

• To try and work around the above problem, outbound traffic could simply be sent to the nearest POP from the server machine; however, there are some downsides to this solution inherent to it (the full list can be read in Roy’s full explanation).

• However, this temporary solution cannot be implemented yet; the simple explanation is that wonky filters are being created by upstreams that are being based off of both the inner IP header’s source and destination IP addresses

 

Minor Changes to IP/ASN Listing Program:

 

• The lists to update are randomized when scanning the lists/ directory

• Added a max lists option to cap how many lists can be updated per interval

• Added the option to not write up a list if any ASN lookup within that list fails

 

Again, we apologize for the wait. As soon as Roy gets the solution implemented, he’ll be making a global announcement, so keep an eye out! Once the announcement is made, the server divisions will be able to decide what kinds of updates their servers will receive.

In consideration of multiple different factors, including amount of usage, amount of moderation and maintenance requirements, the staff attending the March council meeting had decided it would be best to retire the Teamspeak 3 server. As of March 27, this plan became reality; the server was officially and forever shut down.

To those who had enjoyed the server and everything it offered, thank you.

Last October, we had 2 Community Representatives (CR’s) selected. Those two are @Salad and @Liloz01. In the link provided above, you can read about how the CR Rank works and about what they do. If you would like to read more about how our first CR Election went, you can read about it here.

If I had to pick probably easy low cost access to laser/electrolysis and the different surgeries I'll need later down the line. If I could have a wish granted it would be to be able to avoid all of that and just be a cis girl.

Hi, were you using a vpn at the time?

A few people really want my nickname to be Ally/Allie which I'm still not sure on.

I suggest you finish your hightower ban appeal before also appealing here.

didn't do terribly.

hey wanna see something cool

      !balance to see weapon changes.
      !stuck to get unstuck from spectator.

      sm_killvector in console, Usage: sm_killvector <velocity> <upwardvelocity> <optional:explode> If you want to enable explode, just add a 1 onto the end of the command as a third argument. 0 can be used for either velocity.

13. Do not stir up drama. If an admin tells you to drop a topic, drop it. 
14. Spawn camping is allowed.
15. Certain killbind scenarios will result in punishment (starting with a kick and escalating from there), these include; demoknight dueling then consistently killbinding to get rid of the heads, jumping to enemy battlements and consistently killing a sniper then killbinding, generally consistently killbinding immediately after a kill to avoid taking any damage, etc
16. Building on the spawn roofs is strictly prohibited and will result in a warn then ban.

YOU WERE THE PERSON WHO LITERALLY TOLD ME WHAT IT IS 

 

Doesn't ring a bell.   

Got sent this test (https://www.idrlabs.com/global-eq/test.php) by a friend and thought it'd make for an interesting thread, the result that surprised me most was self-motivation which I thought would've been more around 15-25%.

What's an MGE?

Having to choose between Creep and It Comes At Night is difficult.

Has to be modern history cause my Irish teacher made it really fun.

I know this is oddly specific but I wanted to know if anyone has a favourite cocktail virgin or otherwise, as of very recently my favourite is a frozen mango daquiri, had one made on rum but found it works just as well as a virgin cocktail, but for a long time it was a bombay sapphire collins.

Hi, welcome to gfl, hope you stick around and have fun.

I think it might be telling me that I'm a bit of a pushover.
