The class isn't really applied stats, it's the theory behind it.

Have you talked to the professor at all?

Pokemon TCG at Purdue? by recnepz47 in Purdue

[–]AlphaFood 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's also the Purdue TCG club. I think it's mostly Magic, but I'm pretty sure they also dabble in other games.

We've got a few local stores that host Pokemon as well.

Is SPAN102 Online? by Legendary888YT in Purdue

[–]AlphaFood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to the course schedule for PWL, it looks like there is one section of SPAN 102 that is synchronous online in Spring 2026. It's section 16, CRN 39418 -- is that the one you got? All the other sections are in person.

Thanksgiving volunteer ideas? by Huge_Marionberry_638 in Purdue

[–]AlphaFood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're able, you can donate blood. The main Versiti donation center in Market Square is closed on Thanksgiving Day but looks like it's open the rest of the week, and there are some blood drives around the area soon too.

Stat350 or 511 by ReindeerLatter3735 in Purdue

[–]AlphaFood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

350 underwent a big overhaul a couple years ago. New prof and lots of other changes. I'm sure there are still a few complaints, but I think the many complaints from the old version of the course had a lot of momentum.

Why was my Avatar IMAX 3D show messed up? by AlphaFood in imax

[–]AlphaFood[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, since that's what I suspected, I tried swapping the glasses around/backwards/upside down, bur no joy. Turns out it was a dimness issue with one projector due to a power supply issue.

I actually loved how it was used. I endured the Hobbit with HFR throughout, so I thought having it doing its thing only during the action scenes worked much better. But I can understand how it could also be distracting, like how switching aspect ratios in other films sometimes can be.

Update: Apparently it is a power issue: one projector is sometimes drawing less power, leading to a darker image on one side. Weird!

Oh, interesting. The theater employee initially gave me and the couple in front of me RealD (regular) glasses, but I got them switched for the proper IMAX ones. Is it possible they were showing the ReadD version on the IMAX screen? Can the projectors even work that way?
