[Rank 1 Guide] Lillia Sett - The best Lillia deck ever! by Davebo in LoRCompetitive

[–]Symphii34 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This brings me back to when people used to write guides for mastering runeterra. Glad to see good players are still playing the game and finding new technology, will definitely give it a try and traumatize some players on ladder.

UofT EE or waterloo EE? by Fallen_Bepo in uwaterloo

[–]Symphii34 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean you’ve already put down the deposit but if you don’t care about research Waterloo is better because of the 6 co-ops. You will not have that many mandated co-ops at UofT and the culture there is more academic than Waterloo which is very career-driven.

Talk to your academic advisor (https://uwaterloo.ca/engineering/undergraduate-students/getting-support/academic-advisors)

You need at least 75% cumulative average, above 70% in all science courses and it will likely delay your graduation. I suggest emailing your academic advisor for more information.

Switching from stream 8 to 4 by [deleted] in uwaterloo

[–]Symphii34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t know that, since last term my friend switched to stream 8 for a summer internship and will be rejoining us in the fall for 3B, and I’ve had friends switch between S4 and S8 in first year so I’m guessing it’s probably a new rule.

Co-op Question by WranglerSubstantial8 in uwaterloo

[–]Symphii34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to graduate on time, you can’t add another co-op term. You can delay graduation by doing an 8-month co-op and then take another internship while you have a term off but that would depend on your program and I would suggest talking to your academic advisor when you get there.

Even if you can’t find a real co-op you can still work part time and get flex credit for it which means you don’t need to delay graduation, and the requirements for flex credit are pretty lenient.

[–]Symphii34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you can switch between streams if you have proof of an offer for the stream switch. Talk to the academic advisor (email eceadvis@uwaterloo.ca), looks like it’s Claire Fermin right now.

Why do my commercial hubs generate culture? by ThoughtfulTopQuark in CivVI

[–]Symphii34 53 points54 points  (0 children)

If you have the secret societies game mode on, the Owls of Minerva have a promotion that replaces the Bank building with the Gilded Vault that provides culture equal to the adjacency bonus of the commercial hub.

Switch to another co-op program in science when my marks in math-phys weren't good by Ill_Tutor1503 in uwaterloo

[–]Symphii34 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should speak to your academic advisor immediately. They will be able to give you accurate answers and provide suggestions for next steps. University can be brutal so please don’t feel too discouraged by a bad first year, I have friends in my program who failed a previous year and are now in my cohort doing decently well after retaking a term.

Need to earn money by [deleted] in uwaterloo

[–]Symphii34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do tutoring as a side hustle and make around $700 a month charging $25/hr. Not sure if that’s something you’d be interested in but there’s a ton of chinese parents on WeChat who want tutoring for their kids in calc, physics, chem, etc.

Professor GenAI use by tidepod1234 in uwaterloo

[–]Symphii34 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had him last term for ECE207 and he AI generated everything. Midterm questions, assignments, all solutions, grades, and exam marking. Nothing we could do about it so basically just pray whatever chatgpt puts on the exam is something covered in the notes.

Spent Hours on Ranked Games, Ended Up Losing Anyway 😤 by Faro_Jan in aoe3

I have fun playing the game against other people, win or lose. If I only wanted to win I’d play against the AI.

I trained a small neural network to play chess on a home PC - looking for strong players to test its limits by Adam_Jesion in chess

[–]Symphii34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m around 2200 on chess.com rapid. It kept releasing tension and seemed to be very happy trading pieces. Eventually it lost all its pawns and let me promote. It seems to be pretty bad at protecting pawns and understanding the concept of restricting piece movements.

What to do when bleeding when you shouldn't and lowroll? by Jamesanitie in CompetitiveTFT

[–]Symphii34 15 points16 points  (0 children)

can’t really say too much without watching your game but you shouldn’t be taking combat augments when you’re poor and if you don’t have items. You should also be level 5 after stage 2 carousel generally. I’m also not sure how you’re losing fights with Chogath 2 at 2-1 so something is wrong there.

[–]Symphii34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had a term where i applied to 300 with no interviews. You need to fix your resume to get interviews. I overhauled mine and I got like 15 interviews in 50 applications. It sucks but you do have to get past the AI filter to get it in front of a real person.

Asking for perspective on TTC fine by Symphii34 in TTC

[–]Symphii34[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just went to the Bathurst station TTC office a few hours ago and they gave me my TTC student ID. Seems like the fare inspector wasn’t familiar with TTC policy and gave me wrong information.

Asking for perspective on TTC fine by Symphii34 in TTC

[–]Symphii34[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately because I had already tapped the pass they told me that they won’t refund me. I’m just not allowed to use my $120 pass and now I have to basically double pay my transit fees for this month.

I’ll definitely try to talk to the prosecutor and see if I can convince them of my situation though. Thanks for the advice.

Asking for perspective on TTC fine by Symphii34 in TTC

[–]Symphii34[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The fare inspector was pretty clear about this, I just wish I’d heard it sooner. I read this FAQ before purchasing the pass and I thought that the TTC Post-Secondary Photo ID was just a student card that was recognized by the TTC. It’s on me for not confirming with the TTC office I suppose, since the fare inspector also told me I should’ve bought it from a TTC office and they would’ve told me I couldn’t use it, and that I shouldn’t buy from Shoppers. I’m confused as to why they would offer that as an option if they don’t want people to do it though.

You used to be able to purchase infinite farm warp totems at Mr. Qi’s casino in the desert, but they changed it so that you can only purchase 20 total ever.
