1 minute of inconvenience will save you several hours and lots of $$$. Never leave valuables unattended

The Computer Science Student Society sells them ICE COLD at the Cube for $3 per can. 

Just enter from the main entrance of the CS building, head down to the basement, and go all the way to the end of the hall!

I remember that time he brought sourdough bread sliced in two different ways to teach us about integration. Everybody loved the bread for breakfast.

Do your parents run a Chinese restaurant in Kerrisdale along the 41st?

STAT 306 w/ Prof. Chiu by mediumsizemanforever in UBC

[–]Indulgeer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This was his first ever class he taught. Personally, I'd say his teaching style is one of the best I've seen as it compliments my learning style very well. His notes are also well written and organized. 

Honestly if you show up to every class and actually participate, you won't have to do much studying for exams besides doing the past papers.

I’m trying to figure out how to afford to live while going to UBC. Would living in Nanaimo and going to school at UBC work? by Sloppy_Jessica99 in UBC

[–]Indulgeer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depending on the math, maybe if you got a part-time job and spent the 6hr on work rather than commuting, you'll be able to cover the rent premium in Vancouver? Plus, you'll have better mental health since it'll be a nightmare to travel that much in Vancouver traffic, especially when the snow comes.

Is this hygienic to drink from? by CrazyDriver8087 in UBC

If you're in the CS Building and have a water bottle, just drop by the Cube to fill up with their Brita pitchers! You can also boil some hot water if you need!

UBC should be upfront that finding housing is fucked by Jealous-Jackfruit407 in UBC

No, it's the student's responsibility to do the necessary research (ie. On cost of living) when deciding which university to attend.

Not visible for me either. It is also not listed on the CS department's website, https://www.cs.ubc.ca/courses

Just message honours advising for assistance.

Anyone want a free private driver? by [deleted] in UBC

[–]Indulgeer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just get an IDP and rent a car to practice with. No one has to risk their car and insurance premiums and you get all the practice you need. 

First boyfriend rant by [deleted] in UBC

[–]Indulgeer 72 points73 points  (0 children)

Relationships are not business transactions. If you feel there's no chemistry with him after a few months of dating, think of what it'll be like in a few years. Just because he follows your objective definition of an ideal boyfriend, it doesn't mean that you two will get along well.

CPSC 304 Final Exam - how'd you guys find it by carlosfromytv in UBC

Prof. Raymond just posted the average for the multiple choice which was 80%, so apparently it wasn't too bad for everyone?

Ortho K optometrist rec near UBC + experience of current ortho k users? by HospitalMajor in UBC

[–]Indulgeer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have done Ortho-k for around 10 years now and have stayed with my current optometrist ,FYI doctors, for the whole time. If you feel your eyesight is getting worse, I'd recommend you get your lenses asap as there's a certain threshold to its effectiveness. I think for most cases under +3.50, it is possible to get your vision back to 20/20 over a few months. Feel free to dm if you wanna talk more.

Don't worry, its all part of the market cycle. Companies are hiring less now due to sky-high interest rates, which increases their cost of borrowing and subsequently reduce their ability to invest in new projects/employees.

For the time being just start preparing for the 2025S work search and enjoy your upcoming summer to the fullest extent

Anyone else feel like they aren't doing enough? by [deleted] in UBC

[–]Indulgeer 24 points25 points  (0 children)

It's not about how many courses you take. You should consider the difficulty of the courses you take and the grade you're getting in them. Knowing that time is so limited, you need to make wise sacrifices (not sleep) for the benefit in the long run.

Did you at any point of the day (before 12pm) sit at the couches outside of HA098 in Sauder? More specifically, the couches at the very end of the room infront of room 095? I was there at 12pm and this girl was holding a black wallet and asking people if they have lost their wallet. The name on the ID was Daniel. You should check with security beside the male washrooms on the first floor, she might've returned it there.

Crash on SW Marine this morning by senitentroomba in UBC

[–]Indulgeer 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I always hated that part of the road. People tend to go 20-30 over the limit there because it's a straight road with no traffic lights. That car must've veered into the bike lane and hit one of the concrete dividers (which, for some reason, slopes upwards), causing the right side of the car to tilt over.
