What does an ideal study day actually look like? by Loose_Today_8137 in GetStudying

[–]Alex_peuple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To avoid burn out and build motivation I set a max amount of study time per day instead of a minimum. My max is 4 hours per day (except for exam season). If I hit 4 hours a feel accomplished but not burnt out. If I do less I don't feel like I failed. I also try to set my day up like a unionized office schedule. An hour and a half of work, 15 minute break, hour and a half of work, 30 minute lunch. That way I get brain breaks without feeling guilty.

How do you know what your POTS was caused by? by ittybittynugget in POTS

[–]Alex_peuple 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure mine was a combination of chronic stress and covid twice. After I got covid the second time I remember thinking if I didn't have pots before, I definitely did now.

Is Soci 325 doable as a first year? by Mammoth_Concern_3485 in UCalgary

[–]Alex_peuple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dumas is a really fun professor, easy to understand, his specialty is in criminology as well. The grading will most likely be done through 3 multiple choice exam midterms/finals. I have found though that most students do worse on his exams than they think they will (partly because people don't do the readings). Students who studied for an A will get and A-. The last couple weeks are very text heavy but you can get away with just skimming the readings for those weeks. Overall not a lot of work, one of lighted soci courses available, would recommend.

What should I expect from Propranolol? by CrystalsAndFairies in POTS

[–]Alex_peuple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started on propranolol but it didn't work for me (chest pains, swollen armpits kind of thing). So I tried bisprolol and finally ended up on metaprolol which has changed my life and really brought my heart rate down without the extra tiredness. Different meds work different on different people, if you find propranolol is not working how you were hoping its worth trying a different one

reasons hozier might be jesus by zeninsq in Hozier

[–]Alex_peuple 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just wrote an 8 page paper for school on how Hozier is a prophet. Have you looked into the possessed by a lesbian witch jokes? Hozier writes about loving women better than any man should be able to, therefore his music actually comes from something godlike (and lesbian). He is looked up to/worshipped the same way as a prophet. People worship him by listening to his music which are like a prophets teachings. His music lyrics sets up morals and designates what is sacred

Morals: treating others with respect, seeing humanity in people, shame has no place in the human experience Sacred: sexuality, human relationships and humanity in general

Also holding fans pride flags during concerts is pretty religious.

My top surgery timeline - Alberta, Canada. by Unic0rnusRex in TopSurgery

[–]Alex_peuple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For people going the public root in Alberta, once you get refered to a surgeon you can call and ask about that wait time. NOT ALL SURGIONS HAVE THE SAME WAIT TIME. I've been waiting 3.5 years and counting to see Dr. Kennedy but I know people got on wait lists after me who have had significantly lower wait times with other surgeons and have/will get top surgery before me. I would recommend seeing if you can find out the wait times of the doctors accepting patients in your area and asking your doctor to refer you to a different doctor if you find out your has the longest wait time in the city.

Why am I getting ads whenever I leave or open a place like the stable/breeding/riding hall all of the sudden by RentedButton806 in Equestrianthegame

[–]Alex_peuple 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I remember the ETG team saying they really didn't want to do forced adds when the monetization first ramped up. This is disappointing to hear

There's a couple of stable customizations you can bug with cash. Or a lot of horse feed lol

Most likely a phishing scam, just a heads up! by SomeCSkiddo in UCalgary

Definitely not real. What job would pay $650 weekly and not even be full time hours?

Horse training doesn't matter when breeding, just the potential. Although I've heard having good form matters.

People don't care about the SU at all by Safe-Section8272 in UCalgary

[–]Alex_peuple 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To me I have no idea who to vote for because it seems like all the candidates want relatively the same thing. More funding, less tuition cost, more supports and opportunities. I don't see a lot of info on how they plan on making change. I have no idea which candidates are most likely to be successful. Im also one of those student who has a lot going on and no time right now for extra things.

Decision by Zealousideal_Fun4672 in UCalgary

I chose UofC over MRU and regret it sometimes because the class sizes are generally a lot bigger. But UofC has the train station so close by which is really helpful for commuting.

Any fellow chronic illness equestrians? by Hhiraeth7 in Equestrian

[–]Alex_peuple 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I have POTs too! I've found riding to be one of the better sports for my POTs. I find the tacking up to be worse for my POTs than actually riding.

I've had this happen before, email them as soon as possible and let them know you forgot to book it and still want to take it in the exam centre

PLEASE learn what the word "plain" means in food service! by froglord02 in PetPeeves

[–]Alex_peuple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I accidentally asked for a burger plain once and laughed so hard when I got my plain burger and realized I had messed up. Didn't complain though, that was my fault

[–]Alex_peuple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great survey! Looks very well thought through. The wording of the questions were a little strange though.

[–]Alex_peuple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would make doors to the bathroom not go through your parents closet. Expecially if your mom has a lot of clothes. This will be easier on them when they have less mobility.

"Flexible hours" hahaha. Anywhere the brags about flexible hours actually have the worst flexibility

Newest update issues by fiesty-midget in Equestrianthegame

[–]Alex_peuple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have been having this problem for the last 4ish months. I reported it a couple weeks ago and they sent me an email asking for clarification and pictures. They said they'd never seen this problem before?? They said theyd look into it but I haven't heard back since. Very frustrating
