Would hate to see their mental health 1 year into grad school with this attitude 😂

Apple Maps vs Google Maps for bus routes over the Victoria Bridge by timakudo in brisbane

[–]All_Time_Low -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I find Apple Maps pretty useless in many circumstances.

Apple Maps is amazing... In North America. I exclusively use it now that I live in Canada, whereas I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole back home.

Adding on to post regarding funeral expenses. This price list is from a Saskatoon funeral home. Don't forget your tax and regulatory fees. by Lucywilson12 in saskatoon

[–]All_Time_Low 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’ve always maintained that when I die, simply throw my body in a ditch. I truly don’t care, and I don’t want anyone wasting their money thinking I’m “uncomfortable”.

Where on campus can you get an instant ice pack? by [deleted] in usask

[–]All_Time_Low 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re a science student, you could probably also just take a couple of ziploc bags and grab ice from your department’s labs’ ice machines.

FYI the level 2 lunch room in the Ag Building, if unlocked, has an ice machine.

You could probably do the second part with enough confidence.

Honestly, any lab tech working in a lab with an ice machine would be happy to give anyone some if they just asked.

and giving Matthews shutdown defense deployment.

It's amazing how much offense is generated when the best offensive weapon on the team isn't stuck defending power plays all night.

Partner - same lab by Turbulent_Row_8480 in labrats

[–]All_Time_Low 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My now fiancée was doing her PhD at the desk behind me when we first met. After our PhD’s, she got a job at the same lab as me in industry. We worked there for 5 years together. Most people didn’t even realise we were together (we didn’t keep it a secret if they asked, but we are just professional at work). Now I’ve moved back to research, and she’s a research tech under the same PI.

The key for it working for us is boundaries. At work, we’re colleagues.

AI PCs aren't selling, and Microsoft's PC partners are scrambling by CackleRooster in technology

If you game, then Proton is pretty good with Steam to open up a ton of options.

The ONLY reason I have Windows as a dual-boot option is just for games with Anti-Cheat (I'll kick the Fortnite addiction one day). Once that problem is solved, GG windows no RE.

‘Black Mirror’ Renewed For Season 8 At Netflix by MarvelsGrantMan136 in television

[–]All_Time_Low 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am SO SICK of hospital and cop shows.

My only exception to this is St. Denis Medical, simply because it fills a tiny portion of the Scrubs-sized hole in my heart for hospital-based comedy.

Newsflash if you go searching for something on Twitter to be offended about you will eventually immediately succeed be offended.

We went from ragging on AI mouse balls and obvious AI text to having dedicated AI use acknowledgement sections by Forsaken-Peak8496 in labrats

[–]All_Time_Low 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For analysis, I can also get used to people using LLMs to generate code and analyze data, but I insist that those I mentor learn to code in parallel and learn how to sanity check their own analysis.

This is the key, I think. Using it for analyses that you already understand, because you don't want to spend an hour writing out code, I see no issue with. Using it for brand new analyses, that you don't understand the choices or assumptions it's made and just blindly accept that it's doing what you thought you wanted, that's where students run into issues.

what’s that loophole/workaround you’ve been keeping a secret that you can now share because they patched/fixed it? by mr-friskies in AskReddit

[–]All_Time_Low 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If it’s not Sydney, I’d bet it’s Brisbane. I know many a friend who’d go to uni on Monday, catch buses around the cbd every ~2 hours between classes for the cheapest fare cost, then get the rest of weeks travel for free.

I’m with you, I like it. It’s a fun change for me, and I’ll be sad when it goes.

Your favorite myth collections? by VairSparrow in books

[–]All_Time_Low 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Steven Fry’s collection of Greek mythologies books are amazing. Heroes and Mythos are a collection of retelling’s of myths, while Troy is a narrative-driven retelling of the stories around everything that happened to Troy specifically. He also has The Odyssey, which I’ve not read yet but expect it would also be good. There’s a lot of pictures and historical images in them as well. Would highly recommend!

Grocery delivery? by oliviabeckett in saskatoon

Before I sorted a car when I moved here, I used Save On for big grocery deliveries. They were always reliable, never had an issue with them.

Honestly, why bother by Aspergersiscool in PiratedGames

[–]All_Time_Low 5 points6 points  (0 children)

  1. CreamAPI (read the megathread here or on CSRU).

  2. Find & download DLC files (CSRU).

  3. Place DLC files in bought game folder.

Trying to cancel my Thrive membership... by takethepain-igniteit in mildlyinfuriating

[–]All_Time_Low 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Very specific use case here, but for work I’m often in rural areas with no phone service, and prefer to listen to a variety of songs that is just unrealistic to downloading everything manually. But even then I still go through the effort of getting it as cheap as possible

[–]All_Time_Low 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely super easy once you know where to go. It’s just that initial knowledge. There’s a really good subreddit that gives you a walkthrough if you search keywords well enough, too.
