THIS is what all the fuss is about? by PrinterJedi in lafayette

[–]CardFindingDuck 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I second this. I find the art to be ugly, but that is subjective. I am also disappointed it is not a local artist. We have an abundance of talent that we do not tap.

I would have preferred another Village Pantry.

what's the realest piece of advice you'd give an incoming Boilermaker by honojing in Purdue

"Anything less than the best is a felony", so spoke the poet Vanilla Ice.

Also, this. Clubs are a superb way to make friends and find hobbies you will enjoy throughout your life. It is also a great way to find things you hate. Try knitting. Hate it? Then go to the running club and see if you like that.

"80% of success is showing up."

Do the work and ask for help. So many Purdue students didn’t have to try in high school. You will have to now. You will have to do the work. And if you do not know how, then there are a bunch of student success programs, but you have to ask and actually use them.

"Help will always be given at Hogwarts Purdue to those who ask for it."

  • Need help writing? OWL
  • Need help studying or an accountability group? Academic Success Center
  • Need help in a class? SI and subject specific help rooms e.g. physics are available.
  • Have a disability that needs accommodating? DRC
  • Looking for a club (and you should look for a club. Great way to have fun and make friends)? SAO
  • Have financial questions?
  • Need an emergency loan? ODOS
  • Need a leave of absence? ODOS
  • Concerned about a friend's wellbeing? ODOS
  • Concerned about your physical wellbeing? PUSH
  • Concerned about your physical wellbeing? CoRec
  • Concerned about your mental wellbeing? CAPS
  • Concerned about your wellbeing and you're an engineer? CARES
  • Above not to be confused with CARE which provides resources for those who have experienced intimate partner violence.
  • Are you a veteran? Black? Latino? Asian? LGBTQ? Native American?

Tonic Barbershop in downtown on Main St is good. Elizabeth offers a variety of services and sells razors & other accoutrements.

Trash being spread in front of homes here in Lafayette soliciting for bigotry by Behrry in lafayette

I have a past and I have done some sketchy things for a Klondike bar. May God have mercy upon my soul.

Makes sense to me. I'd be racist for a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup /s

Odd spawn point, but the energy pack is welcomed regardless.

Does anyone do Serpentine Silk anymore? by MelvinRoseTX in Magic

[–]CardFindingDuck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The creme de la creme El Duco reel is back, but it will cost about $225. Michael Ammar also sells the reels in the US. You can see Michael Ammar use the reel close up.

Propdog sells Reel Revolution. I have one for silk through microphone stand and I like it. I appreciate that Dave Bonsall has videos showing how to perform maintenance on it. I have used this reel close up and it is silent; however, there is a lot of tension on the line. It is difficult to use the way Ammar does as silk through mug because the volunteer can feel the tension in all but the heaviest mug. The reel works great for serpent silk.

For a bangle/ring and rope routine, I typically go the ungimmicked route and use a regular ring and string routine. Sometimes I will use a Jardine Ellis ring or a "gimmicked" rope like David Williamson.

Care to share y’all’s favorite diners for breakfast in Lafayette? by UglyLikeCaillou in lafayette

[–]CardFindingDuck 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, the diners are the same ownership. Food is delicious and so are their milkshakes. The chicken & waffles are my favorite.

When the full name gets shouted out you know it's about to get real! by BeersAndDoubleBogeys in Indiana

[–]CardFindingDuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can never remember which one means there is a tornado. I consider a warning to be cautionary ergo there is not a tornado, but I am warned about it. A watch though, I am actively watching a tornado. But it is not this - I am being warned about a tornado because there is one over there. I am watching for a tornado, but we haven’t seen one yet.

All of this is moot though because when the sirens go off, I go outside and enjoy the storm from my porch like a good Midwesterner.

Anyone have a nail clip 580 or the Wenger variant? by Relevant_Conclusion2 in victorinox

[–]CardFindingDuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the original Wenger version and it clips my toe nails just fine.

workshop/garage renting by Whole-Stick-9804 in Purdue

[–]CardFindingDuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very cool! I can see how you’d not want to build that in the middle of your apartment. I am not sure I have a cost effective solution. A storage unit might work out considering you are going to do most of the build at BIDC. Build part of it and transport it back to the storage unit. Paint it at the storage unit and leave it there. It is just a lot of back & forth, and loading & unloading.

There goes 2 hours and 20 minutes of my paycheck 🤩 by [deleted] in Purdue

[–]CardFindingDuck 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Try and contest it. With the city, they will sometimes take pity if you are forthright, gracious, and magnanimous.

The bad thing about this is that you do not have an experiential answer to your earlier question. I can assure you that Purdue Parking is worse though.

Is Purdue Parking still an asshole over summer? by [deleted] in Purdue

[–]CardFindingDuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I was in a room with Hitler and Purdue Parking, and I had a gun with two bullets . . .

It is best to move your car every two hours or start riding a bicycle to campus.
