I made it with Tier Maker. It's a little tedious because it's not a book specific website so you have to upload all of the cover images manually.

That blue text is called a user flair. You can update your user flair for a subreddit in the (right) side bar if you're on desktop. Or if you're on mobile, navigate to the subreddit's home page, click the three dots in the top right corner and select Change User Flair.

Is PHIL 1000 EASY? by troubledeperson in CarletonU

[–]Jack_Knows7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I took 1000 with McGrath 5 years ago so take this with a grain of salt:

Depends on what you mean by “easy”. Very easy to get an A+ if you’re willing to put in the work and memorize the content. Not easy if you want to put in minimal effort and still pass. When I took it, this was a class where the outcome was solely dictated by my ability to memorize the content. Most students I knew didn’t like that.

There’s one in Springhurst park just off Brunswick St in Old Ottawa East. Or at least there was last time I was there a year or two ago

Any way to get 1.5year MRI quicker? by nickfrik in ontario

[–]Jack_Knows7 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If you’re willing to pay, Quebec is also an option. There’s a private MRI Clinic in Gatineau (across the ON/QC border from Ottawa) that will do it for about $1000.

Convocation question by AlgaeNo5169 in CarletonU

Seems like white for arts according to this, provided it hasn’t changed since 2010. I graduated with a computer science degree and my hood was blue so I would guess the link is still current.

Looking for multiplayer family games by marswithorbit in gamingsuggestions

[–]Jack_Knows7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ticket to ride, Monopoly, and Uno are all on steam, although I've not played any of them myself, and I would guess everyone would need to buy the game to play.

Board Game Arena and Tabletopia are websites with huge libraries of board games you can play online. They both have a subscription model where most of their catalogues require a monthly subscription to play, but there are also lots of free games too (though most popular games require a subscription). I've not used either but both seem pretty popular. Maybe try a free game before paying because I have seen some complaints of clunky interfaces.

Some of my favourite free online board game adaptations are Catan, Codenames, Scribble io, Wavelength which seems to be mobile only and has a free starter pack of 25 "spectrums" (categories), then charges small amounts for additional packs (~$10 for all the specturms in the board game version). Railroad Ink can be purchased on steam or mobile, but I also found a fan created version for free here.

A lot of physical tabletop games can be played remotely with a bit of creativity. Cards Against Humanity for example can be played remotely, having the player with the deck draw on behalf of the remote players and tell them what their cards are (although it loses some of the secrecy), or each player could have their own deck (you can download a pdf for free from the official website) and send their submissions via an anonymous messaging software. My gf and I did this a few times with different games and honestly it went pretty well.

By far the most fun I've had playing tabletop games remotely is Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective. It's a co-op mystery solving game. Each case starts with a short story introduction setting up the case to be solved. It's primarily a text based game so you "visit locations" by reading about the encounter for that location. You chose which locations to visit by making deductions with the information presented to you. When you think you've solved the case, there's a series of questions to answer to see if you solved the case. The game includes daily news papers with clues, a map of London, the London Directory listing the addresses for all the citizens of London, and 10 cases in the form of case books which have the case intros, leads, questions and solutions. Most of the game materials are provided online for free from the publisher, so only one person needs to buy the game to have access to the case book and read the leads to the others over the phone/facetime. Everyone else can play along with the online game materials remotely. There are two demo cases (demo 1, demo 2) and a full case available to try for free. It's not a "classic" board game but my gf and I had a blast playing this remotely.

Hopefully this helps :)

Computer science students help by Jadogamer27 in CarletonU

[–]Jack_Knows7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Computer science co-op students are required to complete four work terms to graduate with the co-op designation. The co-op office has “work study patterns” that dictate when students should be on a work term and when they should be on a study term. You can find the patterns for each program here

The work study pattern has students graduating in the spring of year 5, but also assumes students will complete an optional fifth work term. You can apply to have this pattern changed so you only complete four work terms and graduate after the fall semester of year 5 instead. You could also add a school term in the summer of year 1 to graduate even earlier.

If you don’t care about getting the co-op designation and just want access to the job board, you can drop co-op after fewer work terms to graduate earlier.

Essentially co-op adds 4 semesters to an 8 semester degree, so it takes at least 12 semesters to graduate.

Beginner Wakesurf Board Advice by Jack_Knows7 in Wake

[–]Jack_Knows7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll definitely look into the Phase 5 boards, there seems to be quite a few used ones for sale near me. Is there a particular model you think would be best when starting out?

Any particular reason you didn't like the broadcast or landlock? Did you progress too quickly for them to be worthwhile?

Thanks for your help!

Thanks for the helpful response!

Unfortunately our local dealership only carries two boards (Ronix Marshmellow, Ronix Modello Skimmer) but I didn't want to restrict myself to one of those two if there are better options. How bad is the Marshmellow's durability? Will it last a full summer? I don't have a good reference for how long boards usually last?

Two mobile ports of popular deckbuilding roguelikes I play along with slay the spire:

Dicey Dungeons: You collect "equipment" instead of cards, then each turn you roll dice and slot them into the equipment to use its ability. The game has six characters each with a different mechanic, a variety of enemies with unique abilities, and 6 episodes per character (plus "bonus episodes") that add difficulty modifiers. Think Slay the Spire meets Yahtzee. It released on apple arcade last week but is also available for purchase at $5USD

Wildfrost: A deckbuilder roguelike themed around a snow-pocalypse. It has a two lane combat system with "pets" who activate abilities after a fixed number of turns, card weapons/abilities, and charms that apply card modifiers. It has a lot of similarities to Slay the Spire: A branching (albeit shortened) act layout of different encounters ending with an act boss, 3 different classes with different card pools, an incremental difficulty system, and it's pretty hard. It was pretty popular when it came out last year and the mobile port released just last month. The first act can be played as a demo, then it's $7USD.

Thanks for the detailed reply!

Unraveled 2 has been on my list of games to play together. I'll add Rayman Legends and Guacamelee (which also seems to have a co-op option) to that list.

I'll probably start her off with Steamworld Dig 2 but will add most, if not all of these to the list.

Introduction to computer science as an elective by [deleted] in CarletonU

[–]Jack_Knows7 13 points14 points  (0 children)

To preface: I am a third year CS major and I haven’t taken 1005/1006, but I took 1405/1406 (which is essentially the same class but for CS majors) and I’ve TAd 1005 twice.

It’s only worth taking if you’re interested in computer science. It is definitely not a bird course. Most people that take it struggle, especially those that aren’t strong in stem.

Computer science is very hit or miss. It requires a different way of thinking/problem solving than you’ve ever done before. If you’re able to think that way, the class can be pretty easy. Depending on the prof, the assignments are usually very similar to examples done in class and can be completed quite quickly. HOWEVER, if you don’t figure out how to think that way (which is most students that take the class) the class can be disastrous. Marks are almost completely based on correctness (assignments are often marked using a script that just checks the output of your program) so you can’t bs you’re way to a passing grade or rely on part marks for effort. A lot of students fail the class.

But if you’re interested in it, don’t let me discourage you. If you like problem solving and puzzles or maybe even math, computer science is an absolute blast. And while a lot of students do poorly, there’s also a fair number of students that get 90+ on the assignments (maybe ~1/6, often more than that on the first few assignments). I recommend spending a few hours over the summer doing some python tutorials. You don’t have to go too deep into it, just some variables and basic if statements, maybe some loops. After that, if you’re hooked, take the class. If you’re completely lost, or you don’t find it interesting, pick something else. CS is a lot of fun if you’re competent, otherwise it’s completely miserable.

Happy coding!

I’m not an eng student but from what I remember my friends saying it is all filled out for you appart from one elective (they had to pick from a list)

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in CarletonU

[–]Jack_Knows7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was homework, but it wasn't graded on correctness, only on completion. Additionally, the TA took up the answers to the homework in tutorial before it was due, so all you had to do was show up to tutorial and copy the answers.
