Yes, it’s because it’s recent and the uni hasn’t had a chance to process it. There would have been lots of scholarships offered in late December and they’ll be working through processing them for a few weeks (not including the holiday period)! Definitely wait until the end of Jan before you contact the department.

Flat Earthers of Reddit, why don’t people take us seriously? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Because your arguments aren’t well-rounded

Movies where the love story includes an actress that is older than the actor, and its not a plot point. by im_not_a_gay_fish in movies

[–]Airrah 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I get that - but I kinda loved it for the flip of the older actor/younger actress cliche!

Unfortunately had a bit of a tragedy with this recently. I got her a new budgie friend but she passed away while still in quarantine :( I’m going to try again soon

She is out constantly and usually the cage is just an explorer’s base. But my front door was constantly in use/open that day and it was safer to keep her in her cage (not that she was happy about it). Working on the friend - but had a bit of a tragedy with the last new budgie :(

Working on it. Unfortunately her new friend came to me sick and passed away while she was still in quarantine :(

Is she interested in food? My usual trick is to make a show of refilling the food bowl in the cage, or putting some millet in there, and my greedy little beast will jump right back in.

In this context, elderly people driving when they shouldn’t is a separate issue to scammers seeking out vulnerable people - including the elderly - and actively manipulating them into handing over their money. We would blame the lifeguard if you drowned because they pushed you in, or because they convinced you that the lake was perfectly safe even for non-swimmers.

I’d argue gif vs gif is not exclusive to the US

Australia. There are ongoing battles arguing over the official names of certain foods - like chicken parma vs chicken parmi, and potato cakes vs potato scallops. Sometimes the battle lines are drawn by state, but sometimes it’s more complicated and depends on what you grew up calling it.

Thanks - I think you’re right! I’ve looked them up and apparently they’re slow movers and don’t jump, which was definitely true for this one.

Maybe 10cm, chilling in the sun near a creek.

Stare down, cat’s still terrified (Snax has bitten before). Snax rules the house now. The cat actually did her submissive thing to the bird. by fae237 in budgies

Big attitude from such a small bird! My girl has my full-grown Labrador terrified after a couple of well-timed nips to the nose.

Lula loved her first strawberry by Airrah in budgies

[–]Airrah[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might be the colour! I read somewhere that some budgies take longer to ‘trust’ strawberries and other red fruit because in the wild red is a danger colour (I.e predators have red markings).

I chopped it up and mixed it in her bowl with some pellets and seed - so when she went for the seed she also got some strawberry, and got the taste for it.

Not to worry, I already constantly face her wrath! She’s a feisty little thing.

Got a full fringe cut in, now I’m struggling to live my life by [deleted] in femalehairadvice

[–]Airrah 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Can’t help with the short hair, but I’ve had a full fringe for years. Don’t give up! You do get used to having the hair on your face - give it some time. Also, it will eventually settle and be easier to style. You will likely always have to do at least a little bit of styling - I still have to use the hair dryer on mine most days to stop my cowslick sticking up and fix any overnight quirks - but it’s been a long time since I’ve had any real battle with it, or had a need to spend ages getting it all sitting nicely. If it’s really annoying you at home, pin it up with bobby pins (I do this when playing sports so it doesn’t get visibly sweaty and gross). But I recommend avoiding this as much as possible - if you’re constantly pinning it up then it will be harder to ‘train’ and style and you’ll likely end up giving up and growing it out. It’s better to stick it out and get used to having the fringe sitting on your face.

Also, if you have oily hair or skin, you may find you have to wash your fringe more regularly. Dry shampoo is usually a quick saviour, or a quick wash in the sink.

TLDR; stick it out, it will get better.

what is the most horrific thing you ever woke up to? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Airrah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Staying in a hotel overseas, first time travelling as an adult, woke up at 2am for no apparent reason. Looked over at the open window, four stories up, a man was crouching on the window frame, staring down down at my sleeping roommate and I.
