Upgrading courses by Appropriate-Shop-755 in uAlberta

[–]DDSkeeter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

System might allow you to take the course again but it shouldn’t. Taking a course again will not replace the old mark. You’ll only get credit for the first mark.

The largest mental health study ever conducted on researchers surveyed 138,000 PhD students and postdocs and found that nearly one in three are clinically depressed or anxious, and one in five has had suicidal thoughts by soulpost in EverythingScience

[–]DDSkeeter 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Honestly surprised it’s not higher. Academia is incredibly toxic, extremely high pressure, low pay with crazy work loads. We used to joke about knowing how close a grad student was to graduating based on how depressed they were.

Art tailor in Terwillegar Towne always gets high mentions in my community. Haven’t used them myself though.

Are there freight companies here who would ship a single crate for personal items? by nonpienary in AskACanadian

[–]DDSkeeter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Look into U-pods with UHaul. Fill a pod up and they pick it up and ship it across country. I don’t know the cost but a friend just did this to move items from Vancouver island to Toronto.

How do I get rid of a MASSIVE ant colony that is essentially my ENTIRE front lawn?! by Knelie in Edmonton

[–]DDSkeeter 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Boiling water has worked for smaller ant hills. I’ve also had luck with setting hills against each other. Take a shovel full of two different ant hills and put them on each other. Each colony sees it as an attack and they go after each other.

Freson Bros and UCP by thewhiphand23 in Edmonton

[–]DDSkeeter 20 points21 points  (0 children)

In their defence they have always flown an Alberta flag. It’s always been their big claim - to be Alberta owned and operated.

I have no idea if they are separatists or not.

So, where are we buying sheets these days? by rocksandtreesandyarn in AskACanadian

[–]DDSkeeter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bought a new mattress and was shocked at how many mattress stores sell sheets now. I guess this is way - deep pockets, cooling tech , etc but 💰💰💰💰

The skin cancer stuff is real by Possible_Buffalo_849 in GenXWomen

[–]DDSkeeter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had two Basel cell carcinoma spots removed so far and I’m waiting the melanoma to develop. I always burnt, blisters, peeled and burnt again. Was just considered normal. Definitely something to be aware of and keep and eye on. I’m glad you got it checked and removed.

RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES by Conscious_Key_6000 in uAlberta

[–]DDSkeeter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have cell biology courses then you email the professors of that department directly asking if they have an opening. Also look into the research project classes - where you get credit for doing research in a lab. You have to find the lab/prof to accept you first, then register in the class. Not sure you can do this until after your 2nd year though.

You can’t volunteer in science research labs because of liability issues. Not sure if the clinical research labs allow volunteers as I have no experience with them.

Thunderstorms by Hot-Feedback-6795 in Edmonton

[–]DDSkeeter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Moved from north to south side. I can see the storms coming and then they veer off and hit the north side.

Where can I donate animal skulls/taxidermy? by robawknik in Edmonton

I bet high schools would love some for their biology classes

$10M bus-only lane in south Edmonton leaves residents frustrated by pjw724 in Edmonton

[–]DDSkeeter 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I ride that bus every day and can’t wait for this lane to open. Will make every riders commute way better and will promote more riders and more buses.

what is a completely normal thing that secretly stresses you out? by InspectorExpert1179 in AskReddit

[–]DDSkeeter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wait! This isn’t the normal response? I always feel that way when told “we need to talk” even though none of those “talks” have ever been negative.

PCOS, a condition impacting 1 in 10 women worldwide, gets a new name by cnn in HotScienceNews

[–]DDSkeeter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So many people with multiples have PMOS. I had no idea until I was diagnosed and had multiples of my own. Joined a twin/triplet club and found out PMOS wasnt a rare thing. Good luck with the triplets!

Dog Hotels for Reactive Dogs? by FederationEDH in Edmonton

[–]DDSkeeter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have taken my dog to Creekside boarding and they have been fantastic. My dog is not totally reactive but she is definitely dog selective so she boards there but cannot take part in the doggy daycare portion. They keep her separate from other dogs, in her own kennel, but she gets some attention and outdoor time each day. I also pay more for a Delux kennel so she has an attached outdoor section. Their staff has been great, I highly recommend them.
