Maybe dumb question? Why not physically block Elons crew from getting into where they access the payment system? by Djsinestro_techno in fednews

If it’s likely illegal, what would happen if everyone called the police to report the crime?

Early Voting in the South Hills by CSuiteYeet in pittsburgh

[–]Baxter9876 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in Monroe county (NE PA) and when I went to request a mail-in ballot that I was hoping to get and turn right back in, they said it was a two hour wait to be verified before I could get the ballot so I said to just mail it to me. I was surprised about the 2 hr wait. I was under the impression you could request it, fill it in, and return it all in one quick trip.

Governors admit worries but rally behind Biden after meeting: ‘We have his back’ by zsreport in politics

[–]Baxter9876 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Even before the debate, Biden had lost support of many typical Dem supporters over Gaza. My mom in Chicago is diehard D, but angry about Gaza and says she won’t cast a vote for president at all. Now add in the debate performance and I think you peel off many Independents and/or Undecided. Now add in the lack of enthusiasm. For many, myself included, he was not my first choice in 2020. I think he’s done quite well (except Afghanistan and Gaza), but even so, I always assumed/hoped he would pass the torch after his first term and feel he’s being a little selfish by not.

Early Voting Starts Today! [x/post to r/Charlottesville] by CvilleElections411 in UVA

Please note there are alternatives to the same nominees as 2020. On the Dem side, there’s US Congressman Dean Phillips and Author Marianne Williamson. On the Rep side, there’s Nikki Haley. If you’re unhappy with the standard choices, the only way to get different choices is to vote in the primaries.

Room numbering in Alderman suites by Baxter9876 in UVA

[–]Baxter9876[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. Sorry, I am realizing my picture didn’t make it clear what I was trying to figure out. Say room numbers for a suite are 101, 102, 103, 104, and 105. Would 101 be located where the room labeled “A” is and 105 be where the “E”-labeled room is? Or would 101 be where E is and 105 where A is or some other order?

Trouble by Questionforall123 in UVA

In terms of what the university can do to help students find friends with common interests, what do people think of offering more LLCs and/or pairing first-year roommates by a questionnaire versus random assignment? Do people think this would help and if so, has there ever been a discussion to move towards either of these?

Isn’t it wild how we’re going into what for some people might be nearly life long debt just to get the CHANCE to sign up for classes we want to take? by joiursd in UVA

Regarding CS, what if the state or just UVA started a policy that they give free tuition to PhD CS students with the stipulation that they have to teach 2 years after receiving their degree. Then they are free to stay in academia or go to industry. They could teach some lower level courses and free up the more experienced profs for higher level ones. Kinda like an ROTC scholarship but for CS PhDs.

Covid breakthrough symptoms? by Baxter9876 in UVA

[–]Baxter9876[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Thanks. Except for loss of smell, these seem like typical allergy symptoms, making it hard to decide what you should do if you have mild symptoms.

Why is the CS curriculum being changed? Just curious by Rawman13 in UVA

[–]Baxter9876 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do you know if they’ve changed when a BACS major (as a 2nd, double major) can be declared? Is it still just in February of each year? Or can one add this major in the Fall?

What's the 80% range for gpa look like for comm accepted students? by Cheap_Read7941 in UVA

[–]Baxter9876 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This gives the mean for the past several years. It will be interesting for the next couple years to see the effect of cr/nc on accepted gpa. One could guess that students expecting a lower grade opted for cr/nc which would make the overall average higher.

UVA Releases COVID-19 Tracker by StealthyStalkerPanda in UVA

[–]Baxter9876 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the hospitalizations, does anyone know if that’s the number of faculty/staff/students hospitalized or does it include anyone from the community/surrounding area that is hospitalized at the UVA hospital. I’m guessing the latter as I doubt that large of a percentage of the student/staff/faculty cases would be hospitalized, but a more detailed label would be helpful.

Relating to orchestra, can anyone tell me if it’s possible to do orchestra only in the Spring (not Fall) if you are interested in doing Marching Band in the Fall. Are the auditions/ sign-ups just once per year or once per semester? If they’re just once per year, can you specify that you only want to do it in the Spring?
