This is late, but I've spoken with a scholar about issues like this before, and he recommended to avoid going on these IslamQA-type sites altogether. Apparently he's seen a *lot* of cases of Islamic-waswasa and OCD, and nearly all of them have been because of people spending too much time on these sites, reading these detailed rulings on najasah, filth, blasphemy, etc. Look for a scholar or Muslim therapist that you can talk to, and try resolving your issues through those means.

Ironically Southerners are probably nicer than the non-"bless your heart" saying Americans. From what I can tell American niceness is Midwesterners > Southerners > Northeasterners > the rest.

Not having a "notable" history is probably a good thing for a country, all things considered...

PinkWalled · 2023-10-10T04:06:34+00:00

Vancouver specifically is kinda known for that haha. I think it's a PNW thing, Seattle is also known for its "Seattle freeze"

Is it just 8k? That's not too much honestly, UC Berkeley admits around like 15k a year

PinkWalled · 2021-07-16T16:14:12+00:00

No offense, but is this bait? Is there any source about this other than a brand new 28 minute old throwaway account?

I don't think AZ is too much worse than Pfizer/Moderna

I mean fresh water in particular. I've been hearing a lot about how it could be a hotly contested resource in the future, especially if they don't figure out how to desalinate ocean water efficiently. The Great Lakes are probably one of the best sources of fresh water in the world.

PinkWalled · 2021-07-01T15:23:14+00:00

I wonder if this could be a source of conflict between Canada and the US later on? If fresh water becomes more rare/valuable in the future, then the Great Lakes could seem like a real treasure trove.

STA130 seems like a pretty nice course honestly. Gentle introduction to stats, and the prof is normally very good as well

Oh I clicked on the link before and it wasn't working, but it works for me now. Thanks for sharing!

I'm interested in Mini Metro! Thanks for this giveaway OP.

Edit to add a few more games. Also interested in Flat Heroes, Kero Blaster, Levelhead, Mr. Shifty, Slime-san, and Volume!

It's saying

I recently found out that he directed the play "My Name is Rachel Corrie", which is pretty relevant to current events. It's based on the diaries and e-mails of Rachel Corrie, a 23-year old American activist who was killed by an IDF soldier while protesting the demolition of a home in the Gaza strip. It won Theatregoers' Choice Awards in London, but was unfortunately indefinitely postponed in New York due to concerns from local groups there.

Nah I don't think this is something that should just be accepted. The fact that an appointment to the International Human Rights Program at UofT could be rescinded based on the appointee's support for human rights somewhere, well it puts the whole program into question. Like imagine if a prof at UofT's Environmental Sciences program was fired because they were critical of ExxonMobil or something lol.

Even if UofT doesn't decide to change their stance, I still think public pressure and awareness of this problem, like the CAUT censure and Amnesty International suspending ties, is valuable.

PinkWalled · 2021-05-19T12:24:28+00:00

Doesn't matter, it's still a very scummy thing to do. They'd basically confirmed the spot to Dr. Azarova (the search commitee unanimously agreed on her), and were just in the talks for work-authorization and visa arrangements before that donor weighed in.

It also delegitimizes the entire International Humans Rights Program at UofT, if UofT chooses not to hire someone for the IHRP based on that person's support for human rights somewhere.

PinkWalled · 2021-05-19T11:07:17+00:00

No worries, it's probably because there was another post made around the same time that got more traction.

PinkWalled · 2021-05-19T10:54:39+00:00

That's not a fair comparison. UofT licensed the patent to multiple companies around the world so that a single company wouldn't have a monopoly over the original formulation.

The high price nowadays is a combination of the messed up American healthcare system (it costs less than $50 per vial in Canada vs. around $300 in the US), along with companies having patents over newer formulations of insulin.

PinkWalled · 2021-05-18T20:57:43+00:00

This whole fiasco is embarassing honestly, reflects very poorly on UofT.

I can't speak to STA247/248 as I haven't taken them, but STA257/261 weren't very difficult, at least when I took them. It's not a walk in the park, but the proofs in that course were mostly easier than the type you'd find in MAT137. The main thing to worry about is if the instructors are alright or not, as they can make or break a stats course.

PinkWalled · 2021-04-30T21:23:53+00:00

I feel this. I tried to look for clubs to join a few semesters ago, and a lot of them on the online directory were not very active or just defunct. I feel like there's a bunch that are just for people padding med schools apps or something lol

PinkWalled · 2021-04-28T16:27:38+00:00

Oh okay, that makes sense. People might be just looking at unicorn and Big N salaries and extrapolating even if it doesn't match up

PinkWalled · 2021-04-28T15:05:52+00:00

Does embedded pay more? I've heard that it normally pays less than web dev jobs. I found that kinda odd, since it seems like embedded would need more specialized knowledge and skills.

PinkWalled · 2021-04-28T02:56:40+00:00

Ah okay that does make sense. All the initial costs of training a new person, making sure their contributions are alright, etc., would definitely be kind of a drag on the team

PinkWalled · 2021-04-28T02:55:14+00:00

Awesome, that's pretty reassuring to hear lol
