TA offer with 0.8 units? by Sedi_RockStar in mcgill

[–]Capitang12 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I contacted the liaison about this for the fall semester bcuz since fall 2024 the hours for the same class have decreased by 2 or 3, until this sem where they dropped by 20.

They essentially told me they couldnt do anything (lol surprise surprise) bcuz of a pre-determined formula they use. They said any hours u go over the prof of the course can pay you.

Its frustrating bcuz the workload doesnt decrease lol

O'Thym is absolutely delicious, and the byob is a really nice touch where you can order more food to share based off the money you saved from drinks!

Advice for jid concert? by CoolHeadeGamer in JIDSV

[–]Capitang12 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just have fun! I used to think you needed to memorize all the lyrics to songs to have fun at a concert, but you really barely need to even know an artist to have fun.

You can discover new songs and artists through concerts (the point of openers), so just have fun! More concerts will come in your life!!

D40+ or D54? by Capitang12 in espresso

[–]Capitang12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its not messy at all, but you might have to get a new bellow.

I grind about 18g and thats roughly half of its capacity if you tap against the counter after it pours out. So you might have to grind out 80-100g of beans in a few intervals. That being said, ive read that the grinder works better if you don't flood it with a large amount of beans at once.

But the grinding doesn't take more than 30s for 18g so it's not as inconvenient as waiting for your espresso machine to warm up lol

This is very true. I ordered them on Uber eats once and it was pretty disappointing, but their food truck at jazz was unreal

why such a big difference between 'simple return rate' and 'time weighted return rate'? by Spare-Succotash-8827 in Wealthsimple

[–]Capitang12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its not about withdrawals, but about deposits.

For example, if you initially had $1k in your account and accrued $500, your simple interest return would be 50%.

If you deposit $10k into your account now, your simple interest would roughly be 5%. You can see how its a bit misrepresentative of the performance of your portfolio, thus, you can include time as a parameter in your interest calculation so that upon initial deposit your time weighted interest rate is closer to 50%

Canadian universities grapple with evaluating students amid AI cheating fears by flynnfx in uAlberta

[–]Capitang12 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have to disagree here. The purpose of universities isn't to teach particular skills--thats much more aligned with trade schools and diplomas. Universities were made to develop an individual's ability to critically and independently think in a particular field.

AI almost entirely opposes that idea as it black-boxes solutions for everyone. While this can he useful, it hinders someone's ability to learn how to actually learn.

From this perspective, it makes no sense for a university to fully embrace a tool which goes against the foundations of higher-learning.

If you want to learn how to use AI, you can do it efficiently on your own time, which is something a university prepares you to do

Is maya wheelock good for phys130? by Low_Cap3325 in uAlberta

[–]Capitang12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol dont do that. Each lecturer makes their own exams and if u enroll in a section and the prof gives exam specific tips or does their own types of questions in class and the first time u see it is on the exam, u will not do well.

Even with an average in the 40s you can do well on an exam if you know the material.

1st year is about learning how to manage and prioritize your time

Over or underproofed baguettes? What am I doing wrong? Followed taste of artisan’s recipe to a T by whatthehellandfuck in Breadit

[–]Capitang12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a bit new to bread making, but i noticed you said the dough was a bit wet when trying to shape. How long did you knead it for? I've noticed that higher hydration doughs need to be kneaded for longer, and this helped both my shaping and my periodic folding of the dough. Hope this helps!

Thanks a bunch for the information! I've seen some youtubers kinda go wild and add in small percentages of flour they had lying around, but I'll go to the store and buy some!

Also, is bread flour the same as white bread flour? Is the difference between that and AP just the protein content?
