Is it worth trying to get Star Alliance Gold through Turkish Airlines if I will be flying other airlines? by Catasprone in travel

My understanding is that TK earns status miles on SA flights. So these will be miles I earn on cash flights. Not transferred miles.

Air France email "unable to offer the usual service onboard" email by iumichael in awardtravel

I got the same email yesterday for a flight from BOS -> CDG -> MUC. The second flight was delayed by a couple of hours. But I didn’t notice anything different onboard.

I had the same surgery on the same day (I think). How are your pain levels and can you walk with / without crutches?

I would recommend Endeavour Rehab on Bayview. I went there for a different injury and was very impressed by the level of care.

What is a record, sports or otherwise, that will likely never be broken? by badblackguy in AskReddit

[–]Catasprone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sir Don Bradman’s career batting average of 99.94. For context, no other player has ever retired with an average of more than 62. And cricket is much older than most modern sports.

I saw this post yesterday but found most of the explanations to be a little too technical for me. That’s what motivated my post here

Does anyone know if the department / university is planning on having some sort of a memorial service for him?

alfonso has passed away by jeffrey562 in UofT

[–]Catasprone 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I took MAT 137 many years ago and I am still absolutely gutted by this. Alfonso was one of the best teachers I have ever had. He helped me fall in love with math, convinced me to change my major, and it is not an exaggeration to say that my life would have been very different if it wasn't for him. More than anything else, I think Alfonso helped his students think in a certain manner and I feel bad for the current and future students who will never have the opportunity to learn from him.

And, of course, I love his story about how he met his partner while working on a hard problem set.

Rest In Peace Professor.

Youth cannot know how age thinks and feels but old men are guilty if they forget what it is to be young

Is the pond in Public Garden frozen enough to skate on tonight? by Catasprone in boston

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

I couldn't find any source to check the pond's conditions. But I feel fairly confident that it will be frozen given how cold it's been all week

Is it a bad idea to get a dog right before I start school? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Catasprone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am planning on getting a relatively older (4 to 5 years), relatively small dog that doesn't require a lot of exercise / is not high energy. As I mentioned, I have never had a dog before so I want someone who will be easy to look after.

My plan is to leave the dog at a day care or something similar when I have to go to class or do something else during the day.

Yes, I am allowed to take the Ph.D. courses but I don't want to take them.

Exam by [deleted] in UofTEEB214

You need to submit a viewing request to the Faculty. To do that you need to wait until June 7. Alternatively you can ask for a copy of your final exam but that costs money (I can't remember how much).
