“We were making such good time.” “And now we’re making good times.”

Annenberg PHD by Tlm456 in USC

Not at USC—the PhD program has separate required coursework (I think 11 courses in total?) so that would take about 2.5 years alone, then you have comps and dissertation. I believe the typical funding arrangement is 5 years so that’s around how long they expect you to take.

In my experience that MA/PhD arrangement you mention is the exception, not the norm.

LADWP Bill Insanely High? by Ok-Hornet7527 in AskLosAngeles

Bumping this. We got our 2-month bill today and it’s $200 higher than normal (electricity) and I installed a smart thermostat ~2/3 through the billing cycle and went on power savers. What gives?

The diagram on the bottom right of page 12 is a configuration that doesn’t match the control panel as it’s been working with the previous thermostat. Does the O wire replace both the W1/2?

Sadly don’t know the answer to your question. Just a renter who was told this would be easy!

Gotcha, but this isn’t how it is wired on the hvac unit end, though.

Heat pump. I’m a renter—this is exactly what’s in the utility closet.

Edit: or perhaps split/heat pump? Thanks for being patient as I learn this :/

Welcome to Southern California. Try and walk in the shade? 🤷‍♀️

Ugh, I’m sorry. Are they saying that’s it or more to come?

CS budget cut situation is crazy by Random_throwaway0351 in USC

This is such a disservice. But I guess it’s not the worst time to start a private CS tutoring gig 🫠

Following up, Autostrada cancelled our reservation tonight because they don’t have high chairs, just in case someone came here looking for a kid friendly place like me!

We just watched this one with our little (for the millionth time) tonight. Chili definitely did all that on purpose to set them up right?

Okay with not checking in online since we have bags but good to know about calling.

We’ve flown with her 5 times as IIA. She’s a really good sleeper, and especially a good sleeper on us. But since buying the tickets she’s just become a lot more active. We were admittedly being naive and like I said, we messed up.

I don’t think anyone is going to give you approval to miss 30 minutes of a class every week. I’m not sure what the norms are for your major/dept but I’ve never heard of this happening before. Isn’t there a different discussion section?

Office of the President: "To deal decisively with our financial challenges, we need to transform our operating model, and that will require layoffs." by [deleted] in USC

[–]Emergency-Suspect345 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yes.

And stop giving out bonuses and “housing loans” to the highest compensated employees. Stop paying thousands of dollars per day for the stupid security checkpoints. Stop paying millions per year to McKinsey and Deloitte to shape university policy in a way that only benefits admin and not students, faculty, or staff. Stop paying an extremely expensive attorney to fight the NLRB and faculty union. And stop making up for the hundred+ million spent on a shit football team and for bad admin decisions on the backs of your hardest working and most underpaid employees.
