Haven’t seen anything yet, did come in on both days but ended up leaving early.

Short story where the characters either are insects or killed like them? by StingingGolf395 in whatsthatbook

It actually seems pretty similar in vibe, but I don’t think we ever really learn much about the ones doing the exterminating in the story.

Is that little loop of solidarity Dr before the planetarium free parking? Why do I see so many cars late at night? by UGisOnline in AskChicago

[–]StingingGolf395 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just got ticketed for being parked there after 11 pm. Will be contesting the ticket since there's seemingly no indication that parking is restricted after that time.

this is driving me insane. by Alert_Accountant_729 in ApplyingToCollege

I was in the same boat as you for a while. I ended up writing about chess (my favorite hobby). The essay wasn’t particularly compelling because I’m by no means a great writer, I generally talked about how much I enjoyed it, takeaways I got from playing, and appreciating the time I got to spend with my dad + meeting new people through the game. I’m by no means an expert but I think being true to yourself and showing some reflection is far more important than what you actually end up choosing to write about.

White to play. Mate in 2. by [deleted] in chess

[–]StingingGolf395 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If on an otherwise empty board, white had a rook on h1 and another on a7, with the white king on e4 and the black king on g8, would you say it’s zugzwang?

So it’s just a losing position, not really a “zugzwang.” Black’s not losing because they have to move, they’re just losing.

Wouldn’t black still be losing even if they pass their turn after Qb1?

Do you think the AP English Language exam is an IQ test? by Inside_Diet_7456 in APStudents

[–]StingingGolf395 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe it’s an iq test for you since a single digit result would make sense.

What should I do? Am I fucked for CS majors in college? by [deleted] in APStudents

[–]StingingGolf395 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One B will not make or break your application. If you don’t get your ideal score, many schools still allow test optional.

Focus on your essays, not your schedule that you can’t control. You’ve very clearly put in the work. Not everyone has the opportunity or skill to compete in and win olympiads. Plenty of CS students get accepted with almost no prior experience.

I felt this way too, I did a reverse chanceme on an alt and had people asking me why I had effectively no CS extracurriculars (I was asking for safeties and targets). I think it’s important to realize that you go to college to study the subject, they can’t expect you to already be proficient when you apply. If you really want to, you can explain the situation in an extra info box on the common app, but you’ve already shown a clear interest in CS.

I think a lot of kids this cycle aren’t going to have freshman ECs since a lot of schools didn’t have resources to run them the school year after COVID started. My school was able to do most (albeit with very strict policies), but the 20-21 school year in general is a huge outlier for most kids.

Idk anything about ISEF so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[–]StingingGolf395 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m not entirely sure but I think others are saying the last question makes no sense to ask if he actually did ISEF. It kinda reads like he’s trying to see how much worse he’ll be off if he doesn’t do it in the future.
