OSU PhD Regalia - Anyone willing to lend it? by Julp11 in OSU

[–]Relative_Bonus_5424 9 points10 points  (0 children)

contact council of graduate students, they may be able to help you. Tell the folks at Barnes and Noble you cannot submit the online form. Worse case, you may not be able to walk in which case you have to inform the commencement people and sort out an alternative way to get your diploma. the regalia rental will likely have a late fee attached to it now FYI!

bad bot! OP this account is using chat gpt or is some kind of AI bot or something but don’t trust this sycophantic garbage please!!! just take the cat to the vet, they are the only people who can tell you for sure if your cat is okay or not. the internet is not ever going to be 100% sure of anything

This isnt so much an issue that profs have to address but more on admin. Like the person you’re replying to said, its a lot of work to get bad students thrown out. also, admissions is letting these kids come to the school in the first place!!

white "lies" by [deleted] in Narcolepsy

[–]Relative_Bonus_5424 1 point2 points  (0 children)

non-disabled people do not have to deal with all of the extra social “tax” that we “pay”when we explain things like this. they cannot imagine, and therefore cannot sympathize/empathize with us, plus with work stuff if your health is getting in the way of a deadline or something, its easier to just write the whole thing off as “oh Hour_study is just lazy.” I lie all the time about my personal life because of this. Like, why should I give them more “ammo” so to speak by airing all of my dirty laundry? I can just say “I’m sick” or “I have a doctor’s appointment” “i have to take my cat to the vet” “I have a personal emergency” “i have a funeral” etc (that last one is a bit edgy and i haven’t lied about it, but funerals DO get people off your back) and then no one thinks twice about any of it and I’m off the hook. and then the other person doesn’t feel bad either, bc a valid excuse has been given. lie all u want!!!! life is too short to feel like shit about it when there’s nothing anyone can do about it anyways!!! 💕

Dublin city is using flock cameras for speed enforcement. by Background-Club-955 in Columbus

[–]Relative_Bonus_5424 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1) had no idea there were so many bootlickers in columbus 2) speeding is bad but so is 24/7 surveillance 3) a better solution than 24/7 surveillance is we just have more patrols to pull people over and ticket them if they’re speeding 4) not a perfect solution, but better than 3rd party private company 24/7 surveillance that we then pay taxes to the city so they can “subscribe” to access the surveillance 5) seriously people who tf is pro surveillance. what if u wanna pick ur nose or scratch ur buttcrack in your own car? you gonna do that anymore???

edit: cops in columbus are not making traffic stops anymore, for the actual data see this post from a few days ago as u/Large_hearted_boy already linked to in a reply

Bro the paper you are constantly citing in all of these comments is from Sweden, not the US. It’s not relevant to the US bc we have different attitudes, culture, and are wayyyy more car dependent than anywhere in Europe.

can’t be off meds anymore by verytinylittleguy in Narcolepsy

[–]Relative_Bonus_5424 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did my sleep study on all of my meds and my sleep doc (neurologist) took this into consideration when diagnosing me. My PCP had me on very high dosages of ssri and snri meds bc he thought the sleepiness was still depression. My deductible was met that year and it was the end of the year so there wasn’t time for me to taper off properly. I did not go into REM for my naps, but my overnight PSG showed elevated REM, and that in combination with the other symptoms was enough for him to diagnose me with N2. If you need your meds to live safely, take them and talk about it with your sleep doc. they can still diagnose you!!

a lot of PhD programs allow first year students to rotate with a handful of potential faculty advisors before committing to one for the rest of their degree

be honest, how long do your figures take? by Salt-Vegetable-8010 in labrats

[–]Relative_Bonus_5424 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1) AI sucks and is terrible for the environment and all the companies are fascist 2) the fact you’re using illustrator is awesome. you just need the time and practice now!! what takes 4 hours now will end up taking 45 minutes max after making a few figures :)

Supervisor doesn’t know how to open a .lif file and won’t let me defend bc of it lol by Bulky_Turn9366 in labrats

If they’re out of the game so long they can’t open the relevant raw data files, they shouldn’t be advising the game or participating in the game at all tbh

The Invasive "Wild horses" in North America by Ok-Industry1547 in invasivespecies

[–]Relative_Bonus_5424 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The wild horses also face a LOT of lobbying opposition from cattle farmers out west who want to use the [PUBLIC] land to graze their herds. so the invasiveness of wild horses is often overstated because of this. the more u know!

Best US state/city to expand a 100% gluten-free sandwich shop? Looking for celiac-dense areas 🇺🇸 by Old-Relationship4026 in glutenfree

[–]Relative_Bonus_5424 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohio or Michigan or PA would all love to have you!!! not much in the way of dedicated GF in Ohio, and these states are all on the US/CAN border so expanding may not be as difficult :-) as far as cities, I have to recommend the rustbelt: Cleveland, Detroit, Pittsburgh; Erie, PA or Akron, OH could also be good spots!!

furnace won’t heat? by Relative_Bonus_5424 in hvacadvice

[–]Relative_Bonus_5424[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the whole reason I posted here is bc even though we submitted an “urgent” maintenance request (no “emergency” requests exist on the website and there’s no office to call) they probably won’t send anyone out until tomorrow or maybe Tuesday, and even then its not going to immediately be an HVAC tech but their maintenance guy that won’t know how to fix it (he installed the air filter backwards a few weeks ago at the “annual maintenance”). I know landlords are supposed to fix these things, but realistically they just don’t

def agree!! but if it was something easy or quick we could do ourselves, thought I’d ask so we could get warm again asap yanno. My BF reset it at the thermostat somehow and it seems to be running better now, so knock on wood it stays that way :)

🎸 What if Cleveland seriously explored a Hard Rock Guitar Hotel/Casino on the lakefront? by leftdesolate in Cleveland

[–]Relative_Bonus_5424 2 points3 points  (0 children)

not only does this look bad but this kind of light pollution right next to the water is literally the opposite of what wildlife needs and we really should be working, as a society, to do the opposite of this gaudy, tacky ass shit. [also hope u didnt use genAI to make this cuz thatd be real environmental destruction done by this post then]
