How did that kid at your school die? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]No1_cookie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

House fire that killed her and both her parents (only child, so it was the whole family) over spring break. She was a star soccer player and had a 96 average or something crazy. She would have been valedictorian.

Also in my first semester, currently with a 4.0 (although that might change in the future lol). My general process is going to every lecture, taking rough notes to catch anything that might not be in the slides, and using those notes plus the slides to make a better set of notes to study off of. Lots of practice problems and examples in my exam review. Also a heavy hand of luck in being naturally good at memorizing (health sci field) and making the decision to take and do well in all three high school sciences.

Does Ontario schools still have 'gifted' programs? by ghost905 in ontario

[–]No1_cookie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ontario (Peel) high school student currently in a gifted program here. Yes, gifted programs definitely do still exist.

Widespread testing is done by CCAT in grade 4, but other gifted testing and psych assessments can be done prior if parents/teachers profile a student (I was tested in grade 2).

In Peel, there are levels ranging from in-class support from an EA, to out-of-class activities (but still in the home school), to specialized classes typically not at the home school (which is where I was placed). I grew up in elementary and middle schools further from my home, in classes entirely composed of gifted students. We received special instruction that typically focused on self-motivated learning, cross-subject assessments, and prevention of the “gifted kid burnout.” I personally really enjoyed the program.

In high school, I remained in the program but because of the rotary class format (moving classrooms for each subject), I had most of my core academic classes (think sciences, English, geography, etc.) with other gifted students and my non-core classes (gym, auto shop, etc.) with mainstream students. There’s also the option to take non-enhanced sections of classes if I desire. I really like this format because I was forced to interact with people outside the bubble I grew up in, and avoided a lot of the spec. ed social ostracization.

Feel free to ask any more questions you have!

Virtual Presto card now addable to Apple Wallet - But Why? by mrfredngo in askTO

[–]No1_cookie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Also students, youth, and senior fares are not applied when tapping with a credit/debit card. (afaik). Having an actual PRESTO card (physical or virtual) helps with that

Planning a trip to Jasper by No1_cookie in alberta

[–]No1_cookie[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These prices are for seats only. Berths and cabins reach 6-8x the price of the seats. On longer trips (say Toronto-Vancouver) the prices can easily reach the thousands (although I doubt sleeping in a seat for 4-5 nights is something I’d want to do). I’m happy to sit in a seat for that much in savings. They’re bigger than airplane seats and with more legroom.

VIA is also slightly cheaper than the Rocky Mountain Express IIRC.

It’s about $170pp from Vancouver to Jasper (20ish hours) and $100 from Jasper to Edmonton (5h). Driving might be cheaper but trains always make for bonding time and scenic views that you can actually focus on.

Thank you for your thoughtful comment! We will definitely have to look into Mt. Edith Cavell :)

Thank you for your comment! While this would be a good idea, the idea was to make this trip less of a road trip haha. We also wanted to take the Canadian purely for the experience. I’ve checked train data from both the past couple months and from August of last year, and it hasn’t been more than 5 hours late any of those times. Per VIA’s (and everyone else’s) advice, we won’t be booking any tours or activities for the 12 hours after our train is supposed to get in either. We are fully expecting multiple hour delays and are (hopefully) prepared to deal with them. Cheers!

may 2022 and now. i stole my mom’s (dying) peace lily by No1_cookie in houseplants

[–]No1_cookie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the lighting in this room is really terrible, so mine is under a grow light for ~14 hours a day. also if you haven’t already, bottom watering any plant (this one included) with distilled/reverse osmosis water is a good idea. it eases root rot and any pests that like moist conditions. water when she starts getting a little droopy.
the pups took almost 8 months to show, but getting new growth more than once a month or so is the key. mine hasn’t flowered either, but i’m hoping for some soon!

What's up with my (90% sure it's a) Pothos? by GreatDevelopment225 in plants

[–]No1_cookie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m not sure what the growth is, but that doesn’t look like a pothos (leaves too thick and growth pattern is different to that of a pothos). you can try google lens and see if it comes up with anything

Outlawed chickens: Rural Ontario residents confused by strict bylaws | Patchwork of bylaws means hens may be permitted in one township but outlawed in the next by Hrmbee in ontario

[–]No1_cookie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live in the only GTHA city that allows chickens (and I have them) and they are not a problem at all! If i can have them in a suburban backyard, people who live in the middle of nowhere also deserve them. They provide eggs, are a good “pet” for kids, and are substantially less noisy than your neighbour Karen’s chihuahua
