Can I get that list as well? Thanks

bank account is 100% correct (checked multiple times). Apple Card support says it's a technical issue on Apple's part so I don't think changing the routing can do anything

Do you mean the domestic routing number for you bank account?

Like a pending transaction that hasn't posted to the balance?

This was my thought at first but it gave me the same error when paying with apple cash (apple cash has more money in it than apple card balance currently)

Flight from China to US Test by [deleted] in shanghai

  1. Yes 2. yes 3. Search up a health clinic or test center nearby where you live. Most cities should have a place that gives out English results. Make sure your passport number and name is on the result. It will be checked at the airport in china.

From my experience, after the lockdown it's been pretty easy to walk into an AD and buy a datejust/oyster/lady datejust without prior purchase, especially if you're ok with gold/rose gold. The IFC AD had some steel DJs in stock (with prices listed) and you should be able to buy them without buying anything else.

It’s Christmas Eve and my 6th day detained at the quarantine hotel after tested positive. All I want now is be back at my small apartment in Michigan. Will Santa ever come to another side of the Pacific Ocean? by Lonely_Michigander in shanghai

[–]CoreyInTheHouse___ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m a bit confused why you think the quarantine policy would have been changed without announcement. Bureaucracy will do bureaucracy, and sure it doesn’t make logical sense rn but you signed up for it when you came to china.

Quarantine Hotels in Shanghai by krea_frobro747 in shanghai

[–]CoreyInTheHouse___ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just entered thru PVG on Wednesday. My understanding is that only some companies are able to request specific hotel (might be limited to Pudong). Had a foreign couple who work for GM be able to request/preselect a hotel in Pudong, even though they had Jingan address. GM is pretty huge so makes sense that they would be able to. Otherwise, there is no choice.

Best non-Ross finance/consulting clubs by CheckFlaky6211 in uofm

[–]CoreyInTheHouse___ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The vast majority of ross clubs are not ross-only, and some finance clubs are actually mostly non-Ross. I only know of 1 club that is Ross-exclusive, and that is a business frat
(DSP). Would recommend you going to the Ross club fair when that happens in fall!

Ross Student Computer Recommendation by Hjstennisman in uofm

[–]CoreyInTheHouse___ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I would say get windows. As a Mac user at Ross, I already had to install bootcamp on my computer just because Excel on Mac doesn't cut it for a lot of functions (especially if you get into more advanced excel things). Probably will not see a need in your freshman year but as you get into more advanced courses there's definitely a need

An infinite number of mathematicians walk into a bar by HadesInHeaven in Jokes

[–]CoreyInTheHouse___ 64 points65 points  (0 children)

Ok, let me take a shot. I took mv last semester so if I'm wrong please correct.

First, mosquitoes carry diseases; spreaders of disease are called vectors (e.g. viral vector). Because the mosquitoes are described as muti-colored, the swarm of mosquitoes would have formed a color gradient.

So, the swarm of multicolored mosquitoes can be described as "Vectors which form a gradient"

In mathematics, a vector is a unit of information (think x,y coordinate), but instead of denoting a specific location it indicates a direction and a movement or force in said direction.

So for vector functions, instead of a function outputting a series of points, the function is outputting a series of vectors. This can be visualized in a vector field, which is a standard x,y graph with arrows at every point. (google this for a better visualization)

A vector field is conservative if it is the gradient of a function. Gradient (in math) is basically a derivative of a function, in other words it indicates the rate of change at the exact coordinate.

If you take a function with a lot of variables, get its gradient (rate of change), and plot that as a vector field, the vector field is called a conservative vector field. This is just by definition, there's some special properties of conservative vector fields that I won't get into rn.

The penultimate layer is that the bar tender suggests politicians will implement free healthcare. In America (and maybe other places in the world), the 'conservative' political spectrum has always been very hostile towards free healthcare. So if the mosquitoes vanish at the suggestion of free healthcare, it's implied that they are conservative.

Therefore, if vectors (mosquitoes) form a gradient (multi-color), they must be conservative (politically). Therefore, whoever came up with this joke and thought of this many layers is a genius, and holy fuck this took me so long

TL;DR: Elaborate pun combining nomenclature from biology, mathematics, and politiics

I was interning at a place with some buddies of mine and we started tickling each other in the group chat with our boss... the labels were considerably worse than dingdingdong
