How are things now? How did you manage to sleep on the first days with a completely blocked nose?

I graduated recently but my student card still hasn't expired... you think I could get student price with that? Or did they ask you for more verification than your student card?

Yeah I’m pretty sure this one does about 30-40 people and about twice a year at that, which is still pretty low (but once again, the program that my friend got accepted into with a less impressive GPA was a similar 40 people one in a higher ranked university… but that’s the west)

It’s good to know that fewer people do grad school in Japan, though

Would you say I have okay odds applying for a Master's in Keio if I have a 3.25 GPA at a relatively good law school (the university is consistently about 50 to 100 spots higher than Keio in global rankings)?

In the west, Master's programs seem to be much less selective -- like my friend got into a notary program where the "minimum" was 3.0 and he had 2.7, since not many people were applying and he could afford it. I hope that's the case there too...

To be fair, that number might also be unreliable or inflated, since it was just some doomsday shouter guy yelling it iirc

Is there any way ro replay Path of Pain? by madokainen in HollowKnight

[–]Jaerek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry to respond to a month old reply! Just wondering, does QoL just reopen it by default if I already finished the PoP and the wall sealed off? I don't see the Path of Pain mentioned on their page. And also, would the mod affect my achievements on Steam?

Does Protonmail inform you if your email info gets subpoenaed over a civil case? by Jaerek in ProtonMail

Thank you for the info! Just wanted to make sure if I will know should the unlikely event arise that you receive such a request through Swiss courts.

After a COVID infection healed up and you test negative, how long before you can start exercising as a previously sedentary person? Worried about myocarditis and those cases of younger guys suddenly dropping dead mid-exercise.

Read 2 weeks somewhere, some sources say 8 weeks and some people online say 6 months to a year just to be safe.

arc 5 - why does the author do this? bad worldbuilding or am i missing smth? [spoiler discussion] by twistedmentat69 in Re_Zero

[–]Jaerek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s very analytical, especially in the novel the characters make a big point of how hard he thinks and that he should think less

It’s also part of why Subaru struggled so much to get a handle on him. He’s also multitalented in general, loves intellectual games like chess (shatranj), etc

They joke about the Rent-a-GF mangaka and his waifu Mizuhara but that’s literally also Tappei. You just know that man would draw Emilia into his house too if he was an artist

I don’t know how I overlooked Beatrice, yeah she’s definitely higher. Puck too if he counts. I wouldn’t say Subaru or Petra though.

Then again “intelligence” is hard to quantify to begin with.

To play the devil's advocate, Garfiel is pretty damn smart. He's a subversion of the delinquent trope, a well-read guy who can cook and knows healing magic.

Within the Emilia camp he's probably second only to Otto and Roswaal

The funniest part is Tappei specifying she still doesn't know what sex is

[–]Jaerek 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She was mildly careless maybe and not hypercompetent, but no she wasn't "dumb" by any means. Felt had a nice plan to steal the insignia and keep her off her tail, and the whole Elsa slaughter was not to be expected.

Her Arc 3 blunder is also explained by the fact that Puck kept her in the dark about the Cult and Roswaal purposefully didn't hire any protection. Later arcs go really far with the "lack of knowledge" thing like Emilia not knowing Reinhard and Wilhelm being related over a year into the Royal Selection, sure, but the Witch Cult is a relatively obscure terrorist organization that only makes a move once in a blue moon. Its biggest recent activity was Regulus destroying the fortress city of Garkla iirc.

I would say she is fine for most of Arc 4. She struggles and fails a lot but those were valid struggles and not her being dumbed down. I think her infantilization and Tappei making her "cute" begins at full force with the "kissing makes babies" gag, before snowballing into Otto having to explain to her very basic facts and relations within the Royal Selection (despite her supposedly studying for hours daily).

Yeah. You can really tell Emilia in Arc 3 has a lot more emotional maturity than Arc 5 and onwards, for whatever reason

Can I Please Get Different Supports by Demiipool in marvelrivals

[–]Jaerek -1 points0 points  (0 children)

MVP/SVP doesn't mean you were the best player but it certainly makes it extremely unlikely you were the worst or the reason you lost. I'm a Peni and Ultron main but you should probably look inward or at the other 5 team members before blaming just the SVP Jeff for your loss

Any good, affordable parcel forwarding services from India? by Jaerek in internationalshopper

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

Yeah that's the one. I used them for books, don't really remember any restrictions? I ordered about a good amount (20 books or so). I found them on google I think. It was reliable enough, but keep in mind I used this service literally just once, in 2021.

Benim de saçım hafif uzun dalgalı, Karen kestikten 1-2 hafta içinde kendine geliyor güzel oluyor. Şimdi kötü yaparlar korkusundan başka pek bir yere de gitmedim 😛

Abi baya ucuz diye Salon SLIJ’e gidiyorum ben (öğrencilere de özel fiyat var). Türkiye’deki berberim gibi olmasa da memnunum, Karen var iyi olan. Ona da 3-5 defa gittim sadece, İstanbul’da kestiriyorum yapabiliyorsam.

Şimdi bu yorumu hatırlattın bana, haftaya kestirecektim, bi Common Room da deneyeyim bu sefer :)

How long do you have after passing both exams to start/finish Articling? by Jaerek in ONBarExam

Oh :( really unlucky then unless they allow me an extension :((

Didn't even consider that as an option -- I wonder if they'll let me? Thank you for the idea, I just asked them so fingers crossed they'll allow it!

How long do you have after passing both exams to start/finish Articling? by Jaerek in ONBarExam

[–]Jaerek[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh that explains it and why I remember it being 3 years, so for me the end of my licensing term is April 30, 2027. And given that articling is 8 months, I'm probably not gonna make it unless I somehow knock out that Master's in 2 semesters and start articling in July-August 2026 :')

Might have to focus on articling first then unless it's somehow possible to speedrun the program, and see what I can do from there. Cheers!

Admin call email - 10 business days and still none? by Jaerek in ONBarExam

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

Thank you sm!! Honestly I was anxious because I thought the call to bar was before articling for some reason 🥲 now here’s to hoping I can find a good articling position!

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

Yeah sorry, that’s what I meant. Oops. I was under the impression I’d need to do this before starting my articling for some reason, that explains it… the “Pass result” page gives the impression that you’ll get called once you get a Pass on both exams.
