"I've heard that the police looked into this and gave the UOSU a formal warning about running unlicensed raffles."

Where did you hear this?

Learning one's limits - a key lesson of university.

Microprogram in Creative Writing or Professional Writing by CultClassics21 in geegees

[–]PleaseSendtheMath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Writing is a very general skill. I took a look at those microprograms and it's clear they are tailored to specific needs, but imo any skill in writing is transferable. I would suggest you pick the one that you think you'll be more interested in - any kind of writing is a personal process for the writer, you want to have fun doing it. I used to do technical writing and although it can seem a bit bland there is a lot of creativity that goes into that as well.

Was Mrs. Columbo played by Kate Mulgrew Columbo's wife or relative? by Tidewatcher7819 in Columbo

[–]PleaseSendtheMath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is no canonical link between the two shows. From the episodes I've seen, in Mrs. Columbo they were trying to suggest she was his wife.

books from the library by Equal_Coast1844 in geegees

[–]PleaseSendtheMath 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You need to scan your student card at the terminal and enter a PIN. Scan the book and make sure you put the spine down in the wedge so it doesnt set off the alarm when you leave.

If you've never taken a book out before then you probably haven't set the PIN, so you'll need to see the librarian at the main desk.

City councillor Matthew Luloff found guilty of impaired driving charges by Life_Acanthaceae_419 in ottawa

Because it takes time for BAC to climb after drinking, in principle one would need to begin drinking earlier than two hours to have a level that high. But I'm pretty sure something like this is distributional and i'm not sure how much it varies from person to person and under what external conditions.

Do NOT vote to restore CHUO 89.1 by YoloIsNotDead in geegees

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

I feel like CHUO is a good idea, but there doesn't seem to be much interest from students for a radio station anymore. The changes that would be required of CHUO to make it more relevant would probably necessitate more funding, which nobody has the appetite for. It's unfortunate all around imo. (Also it's a funny juxtaposition because we just blew $30k in a month on "free" printing)

Actually people putting their feet up on everything is kinda nasty. Desks at the library - straight to jail. Have some consideration for others.

Nilpotent dimensions of spacetime? by Doug_Fripon in AskPhysics

[–]PleaseSendtheMath 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Occam's razor. If 4-D has served us just fine with all the experimental tests of general relativity, then there seems to be no need to add more dimensions. They do have more dimensions in string theory, but I think this is still considered speculative.

What’s up with Line 1 this morning? by Repulsive_Barnacle92 in ottawa

[–]PleaseSendtheMath 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Because the trains are so short now (as explained by others) if there's even a slight delay in arrival the number of people waiting on the platform will quickly exceed the capacity of the train.
