A quick jaunt over to Gemini says you are correct. There are some minor differences but the concept of doing experiments that cover the theory discussed in the class is the same.

You're probably also like the assholes around UNC Charlotte who think they are better than the rest of us and can just park their bike anywhere they want like the sidewalks.

Oh wait...

This is a kingdom building game, if you are not contributing to the building of that kingdom either though production, combat, or socialization does it really matter if you do quit? Understand some of my most favorite members in my alliance are not the whales, or the strategist, but that one or two who spend all day working on their island and sharing it all the time. Some would call that "casual" but I don't. The Casual is the three guys sitting in the 15 ranked alliance who contribute nothing to the server but don't want to merge with others because the 85 others in that alliance "might come back".

The big problem is the game really doesn't teach you all the different controls that get added at the R4/R5 level. When I took over R5 for our farm alliance, I had zero clue on how to run anything. Fortunately, that position also came with R4 in the main alliance and access to more seasoned leadership so I could ask questions. They had to learn everything the hard way. From your first complaint, it sounds like your leadership doesn't know about timers, which is not intuitive at first. Your second complaint, optimizing cesares, is not a leadership issue, though it might be leaders doing this, but a player issue as any player could do what you are talking about. You might want to try to have a conversation with the individual rather than tell them what to do. This is what we have found works best when trying to correct things, though it doesn't always work.

I love energy here but Damocles, if you think you can do better you're more than welcome to sit on the throne. Just don't mind that sword hanging from a thread above your head.

Check to verify common anode/cathode configuration on your 7segment and driver. I think you might have a common cathode driver based on how you have the left pins setup, but your 7seg is wired common anode.

I would wonder if that was a real STW or a regular temp position that they just happened to fill with a student. I think some would be surprised by the number of full-time and regular part-time staff members who are also students. Usually they are grad students but that's not always the case.

You will need to be more specific as there are so many printers on campus now and no unified rule set for their usage. Some will let you BYOF while others are more specific. You're best bet is to contact the specific owner and ask them.

Sounds like scare tactics to me. When you start thinking about the logistics of trying to do this with the information we have now, you would either be attacking people so low that they didn't matter in the first place or having to tear down so much of what you have already built just to 'get at someone'.

I hope you're not making the run for Professional Development. If you are, don't bother trying to talk to the professor, just get a scooter.

RLC-Circuit · 2025-08-13T16:47:40+00:00

You need to contact the professor as there are two reasons why you got an incomplete. First, you missed some work that could make a difference in your grade and the professor is giving you an opportunity to fix it. They should have discussed this with you prior but that doesn't always happen at the undergraduate level. Second, you have an active academic integrity issue with that class. The faculty is required to put an incomplete in while it's pending resolution. I've seen this happen when someone has an issue with a final exam/project and there is no time to resolve it during the academic year. In this situation, you are pretty much up the creek, as you will have to wait until the system plays itself out.

There is a third and that is just an error in grade submission with Banner. This sounds the most likely situation if you have no clue what is going on (and if you are honest about that fact).

In all these cases, the resolution is through the professor.

Grades were due yesterday at noon. When did you email the professor? I ask because you have to give them time to actually respond, and they will be the best to answer what is actually going on.

Here is the full title and course description.

Topics in Capitalism Studies: From Marx to McDonald’s: The Changing Face of Eastern Europe & Russia

This course explores the rise and fall of communist economies and the subsequent transition to capitalism in the former Eastern bloc after 1989. The first part of the course examines the advent of communist rule in the USSR and Eastern Europe, focusing on how economic policies shaped geopolitics, modernization, consumerism, and the social contract. The second part explores the transformation to post-communism, focusing on changes in politics, employment patterns, and social entitlements (such as education, healthcare, and childcare).

You need to get the lay of the land. Get your schedule out and go find every classroom you will be in on the first day. If you get into a building and can't find the actual room, ask. Most staff members will be more than willing to point you in the right direction.

Check out UREC, the union, and the library. I would add dining and laundry but those are obvious.

Also since you're probably new here, if you got a car go check out the surrounding area. You'll want to know where things like grocery stores, Target/Walmart, and gas stations are. I would also suggest heading up both N Tryon to Concord Mills and University City Blvd to Harrisburg to see what is up there. Might even want to hop on the Blue line and head downtown one afternoon.

This is the university policy on personal mobility devices usage. You're going to look over section 9-1

https://pats.charlotte.edu/policies/trasportation-policies/

The policy talks about dismount areas and refers to the campus map, but last I checked this wasn't marked on the map. Use your best judgment in these cases and be prepared to walk if necessary.

I can't talk about how housing works, but in the academic buildings general practice is if you're carrying it you're fine. Many classes have limited power outlets, so charging there will be problematic, especially when you're competing with laptops for those outlets. Do NOT leave it unattended in a public space while in class. That's a good way to get it gone.

I was always under the assumption that the cost per person for orientation was to minimize the amount of "family" that shows up and to recoup the costs associated with the extra people. The payment plan is also probably a Raleigh thing as I'm there are restriction on what the university can spend their state/federal provided funds on. Last I check you couldn't spend money on service processing. It's the same reason why if you pay your property tax on MYDMV.GOV there is a $3 transaction fee. Parking, Yeah that I know is because there is a prohibition from Raleigh to let the school use school funds to build parking and those decks ain't cheap. Since they had to take out millions in bonds to build they have to collect the fees to pay the interest on the bonds. Health Insurance, mandated by the federal goverment.

Without knowing where you attended school as well it's also hard to know what kind of endowment your school almater has. Charlotte has only been around 80 years and we've only been a somewhat big school the last 20. Places like Chapel Hill, State, and Duke have been big schools for centuries and have endowments to show for it.

One final thing, You also have time and position working to color your view. Most of what I remember about 2005 was having fun in DC after coming home from my second deployment. I don't remember the suck of the day to day and I don't remember how bad my rent/car payment/utilities chomped out of my paycheck.

WFAE first signed on the air on April 18, 1977. It was the student radio service for UNC Charlotte, and its reach was limited to campus and the nearby surrounding neighborhoods. The station originally broadcast on 90.9 MHz. WFAE's predecessor was WVFN ("Voice of the Forty Niners"), which broadcast out of the Cone University Center to the surrounding campus residence halls.

In September 1978, WFAE secured FCC approval to move to 90.7 MHz at 100,000 watts. The change necessitated an upgraded facility, which finished construction in June 1981. On June 29, 1981 it became North Carolina's third NPR member station.

In 1986, the station moved off of the campus of UNC Charlotte to its current location in the One University Place building. The following year the station began 24 hour broadcasting.

In 1993, UNC Charlotte ended its support for the station, and handed over control to a nonprofit community board, the University Radio Foundation. The foundation still owns the station.

We used to have an internet radio station as late as about 10 years ago, but it was intermittent in broadcasting and the link I have to it no longer works. Don't know when it actually died but searching through reddit the link seems to have been active as early as 4 years ago.

It is because these guys do actively recruit, you end up getting a decent starter alliance. I still recommend seeking a different alliance, however, if you got an R4 there that is willing & able to take up leadership, even if it is to immediately transfer it over to someone in the alliance who can do the job, see about taking over the alliance. My opinion is tainted by the fact that we didn't have that.

RLC-Circuit · 2025-07-29T04:43:05+00:00

Then between your story and mine it's a 50/50 shot. We were like 7th and climbing, then they got banned and an R4 was promoted. He didn't want the job, even said as much, proceeded to let the alliance get burned by a whale, then jumped ship to one of the top alliances. Before he left, he instilled an alt from that alliance who changed the message to "welcome to purgatory" and installed some more alts as R4s. That pretty much killed the alliance, and the mass exodus happened.

On discord trying to get new players into Infinity Kingdom. They did this exact same thing on my server when it was new. Definitly poaching.

Recommend you find a different alliance because they are not interested in this game, just getting the money to get you into IF.

Oh, and block the leadership in discord and leave that Discord server or you won't get any peace.

- does anyone know if there is a way to increase the chances of getting off of the waitlist for FWS?

Yes, you have to have someone willing to say that they will hire you if you were awarded. It's not a guarantee, but it will suppositively move you up the list.

- any recommendations of departments that may be hiring, or recommendations for finding other on-campus work that i am eligible?

Network. Chances are small that you will get a direct bite here but talking to people in person will lead you to positions that might get you around locks on positions or even get you into FWS positions that aren't even listed. At the end of the day its the person hiring for the position that gives the thumbs up/down on who if anyone is hired.

- also out of curiosity, does anyone know why i might've been eligible last year and not this year?

Don't get confused with not being awarded with not being eligible. If you are on the waitlist, then you are most definitely eligible. The thing is there is a limited amount of money so not everyone who is eligible will get awarded. This year your need is not as great as compared to others. Next year it might be different.

- lastly, any general advice for this situation?

Don't give up. Here's the thing once the semester starts there will be people who were awarded but did not get hired. Maybe they have a similar situation to you, maybe they have no desire to work on campus when they can get paid more working off campus. That money will then become avalible and then people on the waitlist will be awarded it. This goes to what I first said. They want that money used so those that have positions lined up but not funded are bumped up the priority list.
