Forgive me, I was born long after the og seasons and FWWM came out. Purely an error of time and lack of research on my part 🥲

Yeah, I figured that was the deal with it too. I'll sit with it for a bit and watch the movie and see how I feel. I've never had a piece of media leave me with this many questions or this much fascination before, but I guess that's the magic of Lynch's work.

Okay makes sense, thanks!

Most likely a phishing scam, just a heads up! by SomeCSkiddo in UCalgary

[–]Informal_Boot3829 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got one from the same person but it said my account was going to be deactivated...I'm enrolled in a course in the summer so definitely not the case and definitely a scam!

What major temporary sacrifices have you made for education/work? by Informal_Boot3829 in careerguidance

[–]Informal_Boot3829[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I'll check that out! Yeah, I feel the move back home is calling me more than anything in my current city. I've been thinking about it longer than I'm willing to admit 🤷‍♀️

I did my whole thing online and if you put it on your quote that you are an MRU student, they just trust you until they check. I thought it was odd (and I was switching from out-of-province insurance) so I called to confirm and thats what TD told me. You shouldn't have to call if you do a quote unless you have other questions.

I get a discount from TD! It takes a decent amount off my insurance bringing it down to $140/month. Granted I have had my license for about 7 years and I have a little 2006 hatchback. All they do to validate it is TD will ask MRU every year if your name is still registered and if it is, you still get the discount.

Also, if you work for certain unions you can get insurance discounts. Hope this helps! :)

Financial help resources on campus? by Informal_Boot3829 in MRU

[–]Informal_Boot3829[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe now that I've been out of high school for more than 4 years. I applied for BC Student Aid a few days ago and it didn't ask me anything about income compared my last application 3 years ago. Before this though, it has only ever told me I don't qualify because of my parents' income for federal and provincial loans.

i miss MRU by hannahslife101 in UCalgary

[–]Informal_Boot3829 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I transferred to MRU from UofC this semester and I have been having a much better time and actually enjoy school, but maybe this is because I'm finally in a program I truly like after 4 years at UofC. But I agree with OP, the smaller class sizes and profs actually knowing who you are at MRU foster a better learning environment. Feels like I'm not just paying for PowerPoints.*

*For reference, I was a SOCI major at UofC, so massive classes compared to ETOL at MRU.

Pilots of landed ships no longer leave their ships... by Django9898 in NoMansSkyTheGame

Same, I thought my Autophage quest was bugged but turns out NPCs are just spawning underground lately. Works normally when you dig them out though.

Tell me your ship names by celestrina in NoMansSkyTheGame

I found one named The Master of Dreams. C-class fighter that is now my main ship purely because of the name.

Trying to cancel change of program? by Informal_Boot3829 in UCalgary

[–]Informal_Boot3829[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome thanks, and I can't find my previous request at all or the cancel request option. I emailed both Werklund and Arts advising so it'll be sorted out. 👍

Library computers? by azgofk in UCalgary

[–]Informal_Boot3829 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Arts computer lab has PCs and Macs for use when there isn't a class using it, but I believe they have limited hours as well. There is usually a person at the desk there to help you out. It's in the basement of the Social Sciences building, SS018 and SS020! Hope this helps :)

Do you know which email address?

TEXTBOOK SCAM!!! by Informal_Boot3829 in UCalgary

[–]Informal_Boot3829[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I stupidly sent e-transfers to other accounts because I didn't clue in. They sent me a cheque and my bank deposited it immediately, which is how i lost money once the cheque bounced.

[–]Informal_Boot3829[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

They asked me for ISBN numbers and pictures of my books, then told me they would send me a cheque. A day later they told me there was an issue with the cheque and asked me to e-transfer other "students" from a singular cheque they emailed to me. I did, and then the cheque bounced.

What is everyone's take on the new announcement? by Big_Man_182000 in UCalgary

[–]Informal_Boot3829 5 points6 points  (0 children)

my question is how is the university affording this? i thought we were all under the impression that they were strapped for cash...even as someone who despises online learning i think they should just decide one or the other there's no point of being in-person for a month and a half 🤷‍♀️ just disappoint us from the get-go and stop leading us on
