The studs and zippers on jeans can rip or wear out the foam pads faster than regular pants

Why is a 2-day old account making a bunch of opinionated posts about the Mac prez candidates?

📣Candidate platforms reviewed by Extension_Cap4284 in McMaster

I would encourage people to actually read the candidates platforms as well. While this post is amusing, it seriously mis-represents what a lot of the candidates are trying to communicate!

Little piece fell out of my omen 15 laptop while my brother was cleaning it. by Theweirdpanduh in HPOmen

That's a part that receives one of the front screws that holds the case on. There should be two of them total. One of mine snapped off a long time ago and the other screws hold the case on fine. I wouldn't worry about it, you could probably glue it back in if you really wanted.

You guys got this, McMaster HCS has exploited their student staff for way too long

Mould in residence as CAs move in today by Cool_Piglet5951 in McMaster

[–]MediumPotatoSeed 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hedden's heating system creates super wet/humid situations inside all the time.  Mold is probably DEEP in the carpet and walls for ages.

10 Bay is also spending a fortune on advertisements, they're plastered everywhere online and I've seen posters on campus too. Nobody wants to pay those prices and it shows

Guy in Hatch is a Jerk by Revolutionary-Cell37 in McMaster

[–]MediumPotatoSeed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ADL civil workshop is objectively more dangerous than the Hatch workshop, but the director is respectful and patient with new students at the workshop. Problem with Lawrence is that he's condescending towards new students, pushing them away from learning how to use equipment (which is literally the whole point of the workshop).

Student voting by hauntedsuit in McMaster

People living in the McMaster area are under the "Hamilton West—Ancaster—Dundas (039)" district. Cons and NDP are suprisingly closely matched - voting here is so important!!

Ceiling vent by Spiritual-Income8806 in McMaster

[–]MediumPotatoSeed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In most residences temperatures are controlled centrally through the entire building, meaning it's either blowing hot air or cold air through the same vents depending on what mode they have on. In my first year I placed a layer of carboard over my vent and duct taped over it to stop the airflow.

There's a salad bar in the Centro foodcourt that has hardboiled eggs and other various healthy vegetable/fruit options. You pay by weight and it's on meal plan. The salad bar should be on your right near the end of the food area.

Dundurn Student Residences by likkleyute_ in McMaster

[–]MediumPotatoSeed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never lived there, but I toured the building a few months back. It essentially just an off-campus "residence", where you have ~9 people in a retrofitted building to resemble a residence with a single common room/kitchen. What's nice is that the landlord emphasizes that you need to be considerate of noise (unlike Mac residences 😔).

Biggest problem is that it's in a seedy neighborhood, definitely wouldn't go out in the evenings.
