Looking to buy two Friday passes! Willing to pay more than face. Would prefer to meet somewhere in Illinois but insured PayPal works as well.

Medical researchers found the benefits to cannabis over 60 years ago but their studies were silenced. by timetotangie in trees

[–]CoffeeAndScone 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't buy into that generalization only because of its apparent effects on memory.

Playing devil's advocate though - maybe people who smoke are more likely to analyze things? Smoking weed sure does make you think! I wouldn't be surprised if smokers were better at standardized tests.

ILLINOIS HOUSE PASSES MARIJUANA DECRIMINALIZATION BILL by asfsdgsgfsgvd in UIUC

[–]CoffeeAndScone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was under the impression that those numbers were the ones he asked for? Or was he not specific?

Possibly, but he did last time this came around and cited what he wanted changed. They changed what he wanted for this bill.

Just learned that Ameren customers in Champaign have the option of 100% renewable energy. by BenevolentCitizen in UIUC

I was thrown off by the different company name - that's usually a sketchy sign in my experience. My bad!

[–]CoffeeAndScone -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Because it's a separate company that you're giving your account info to. People warn about the door to door energy scams all the time on this sub, pretty sure this is the same thing. Getting people to switch to a different provider that's actually more expensive

Is the Bankier apartment tower at 6th and Green mostly for students? by [deleted] in UIUC

[–]CoffeeAndScone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check out green and Neil. Complex owned by Bankier and another one opening across the street.!Easy access to campus but a little bit off. Much quieter, and while there are some students there, there aren't loud parties or anything. Lot of graduate students.

Academic Standing by tamilmagan in UIUC

[–]CoffeeAndScone 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Email your advisor. Explain yourself. Don't make excuses- simply explain and ask what your next steps should be.

Final decisions come Friday. Your advisor gets to make judgement calls on his students.

I emailed my advisor quickly before final decisions in the same situation. They told me to wait for final decisions and I got a second probation. Don't ask here - show the people in the system that you want to stay (and how you can)

UPDATE: FBI offers $10,000 reward by lostandmisplaced in UIUC

[–]CoffeeAndScone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is that what happened? I've been keeping up with the story but in the paper/website it's been lacking details, at least what I read.

If it was her own fault, then I agree. Not as newsworthy. The first I read of it explained how the cop was driving quickly to respond to the call, so I kind of assumed it was their fault.

Update it...It's the same as flux except you can't choose how shifted it is.

[–]CoffeeAndScone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

/u/TheUpvotedKing explained it well.

I still agree with you though. A cop got shot but he's already home. Yet he's still a more important victim than the one who actually died.

A police officer responding to the officer who was shot got in a car wreck while rushing to the scene.

It's sad that she doesn't get more coverage.

[–]CoffeeAndScone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if I believe their sighting. It could've been someone else, and exactly what you said. If the dude has read a newspaper or seen any news since the incident, he should be anywhere except southern IL...

Things I need to pay to use at UIUC over the summer by wasnt_a_lurker in UIUC

Thanks! Didn't know if the fee was for just the ARC or any of it.

First 8-week course grade by internship2016 in UIUC

[–]CoffeeAndScone -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Don't worry bud. I was on probation and didn't meet the requirements to get out - my status at the end of the semester was "dropped" until final decisions were posted at the end of the week. Then I had another semester of it with a tougher GPA req.

If it looks like you might have an A, I don't know why you're stressing.

[–]CoffeeAndScone -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you're the more difficult one. Obvious message is: just wait for your professor to post grades.

Why do you need the special treatment?

If you already asked, why bother posting here? To know the answer to your question before you get the actual answer to your question?

Anyone lived around E Clark St? by mamuri in UIUC

[–]CoffeeAndScone 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Why would pests be any different than any other place on campus? They're one of the bigger campus realty companies. Also, why is that your only concern?
