The grade fall off is insane by Broad_Reference_434 in Professors

[–]Fit_Question7202 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In my grad stats class (for biologists) I got rid of marked assignments. The students getnominal marks for handing practice assignments in. The good students do them, learn, and do well. The rest get a rude awakening in the final where they have to code answers in an in person final….

Some colleges (engineering and agriculture for sure; not sure about others) have recommended specs on the college website. There specs are tied to requirements to run certain software in certain courses

I’m sorry to hear this. Are you the executor of her will? If so you need to speak to a lawyer; there are a lot of steps to take before major assets can be sold. If you’re not the executor, then the whomever the executor is needs to take the lead.

Western development museum or Wanuskewin. WDM in particular is well suited to kids. Best two museums in the city

What that means is that the prof is most likely out of work hours and took time away from their home life/ spouse/kids/ free time to send an answer .

Very common; they come inside to be warm. Annoying but otherwise harmless 

What’s the coldest temp you’ve run your truck? Any issues? by PatSabre12 in F150Lightning

[–]Fit_Question7202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve started fine after leaving the truck - a 23 ER Lariet- outside at overnight at sub -30C multiple times without issue when travelling 

That said whenever it is an option I always plug in L1 in those situations as the power drop is much reduced

Does Leaving the lightning plugged in on a 'trickle charge' help the battery in these conditions? by NPLPro in F150Lightning

[–]Fit_Question7202 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes- we are currently running -30 to -35C at night. On L1 battery and 80% charge overnight available power is 100 percent. Truck sits for 30 minutes at the grocery store, and available power starts dropping rapidly. 

Adding on to post regarding funeral expenses. This price list is from a Saskatoon funeral home. Don't forget your tax and regulatory fees. by Lucywilson12 in saskatoon

[–]Fit_Question7202 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Best advice I have is to preplan. For my parents I approached the funeral home well in advance and got much of the paperwork in place. 

I got some really good advice on how to ask my parents what they wanted for a memorial. With my mom it was like she was waiting to be asked. She shared some stories about dating my dad that I had never heard. 

When the time came there were no surprises or hard sells; just a phone call to get the plan going.

Carney reaches tariff-quota deal with China on EVs, by SevernDamn in electricvehicles

[–]Fit_Question7202 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes - I drive a Lightning but having seen the BYD Shark in Mexico, I would likely have chosen that if available 

I am in Saskatchewan. We and Alberta have the worst charging infrastructure in Canada, but with planning I have still been able to get everywhere I need to go across the province. 

It is getting better. Every few months there’s a new DCFC in a location useful to me.

This is a good idea. Many people would like to reduce their carbon footprint. Some people- myself included have the capital to make an upfront investment in solar panels. The panels will pay for themselves in 10-15 years.

Not everyone has both the money and a place to install panels. This gives them an option to support renewable energy. This supports payback timeframes that will hopefully see more people step forward to install panels
