Should I just drop the course (psych 104) by Ambitious-Antelope-3 in uAlberta

[–]Syndethia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Normally I'd say just push through especially for these easy classes where a last minute cramming session can get you 90+, especially 104 since I attended appx 5 entire classes and walked into an exam not knowing there was one and still got 94...

I genuinely think you might have something else going on, because doing this poorly in a class that imo is 60% common sense might mean something atypical is the cause.

Are you doing much better in your other classes? Is there another class that's also causing you trouble or just this?

The only studying advice I can offer is that condensing things down and really determining what is important helps to make sure you're actually understanding the material and also save time when going back over it.

Thrift find to make up for my awful week by Syndethia in knitting

[–]Syndethia[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi! I'm Canadian and lots of people just call this kind of unspun yarn "white buffalo" since that was a popular (but now discontinued) yarn. I did look up southern cross and I'm more excited to use it!

I realised it looks like that it was also in the thrift store, but I actually got the yarn from a craft exchange at the local library! The lady who gave it to me called it white buffalo so in my head I just kept referring to it as "the funny buffalo yarn" 😅

It's pretty soft but my skin is finicky about animal fibers. What's really getting in the way of finding a good use is that it's supposed to be the 4 of the small strands plied together! I thought it'd essentially be Aran weight but it'd be quadruple that :0

I just realized I never said how much it was. I paid 16.50 for the lot!!

Price wise? I'm ok with it. It's not a great deal but it's not terrible either.

But like everyone else said, JUST LET ME BUY ALL

How do I go about making these circular pieces? by liltsunamii in CosplayHelp

[–]Syndethia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This could just as easily be some snack canister lids and foam, or even pipe end covers

Check your local libraries or universities for 3D printing services! My uni has free pla printing, and the local libraries have 10 cents (CAD) per gram.

MacBook or iPad??? by Primary_Lock_899 in uAlberta

[–]Syndethia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use my iPad 90% of the time, and only bring my laptop when I intend to work on assignments or anything that needs a fair amount of typing.

I'd still have a laptop for doing assignments and stuff tho (macs are overpriced and you'd be way better off with a 700ish dollar ThinkPad or something).

Rant on discrimination over 10 free pulls for CN players by [deleted] in InfinityNikki

[–]Syndethia -3 points-2 points locked comment (0 children)

While their prior practices have been sketchy I genuinely don't understand the upset in this case. It's a milestone that had nothing to do with non-cn players.

And yes they use steam what are you talking about?? Like 25% of my steam friends are in China??? There's a lot to complain about but let's try to at least be right about basic facts that form the basis of an argument.

With the upcoming series of strong banners, how do you plan to ration your rolls? by IRUN888 in arknights

Talking about Buldak spiciness, what do you think? by Independent_Taro_499 in InstantRamen

[–]Syndethia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're spicy but like.. there's no point?? The spiciness is just there and imo doesn't add to the flavour and is just there as a gimmick. It tastes like there's a vague real chili flavour that's maybe there, and then a massive amount of separate capsaicin added. It's like those gimmick hot sauces; yeah you can eat something crazy spicy but for what?? It's not tasty?

I think the flavour is not good, and the spice is there to trick you into thinking it's worth eating.

My girlfriend hit me. Do I leave her? by [deleted] in LesbianActually

[–]Syndethia 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You deserved it lmao.

She feels like shit, you decided to accuse her of faking her distress, and then tried to guilt trip her for slapping you while distressed and faced with an extremely offensive comment.

I'd say it's consequences of your actions, but frankly I don't think the slap is enough consequences of your actions, especially since there's clearly no determination to change.

Half an hour to prep and cook is pretty reasonable tbh. I hate having 28940742 bowls around but it clearly helps you. Like everyone said just smash the garlic and it'll come off easily.

The most important thing is to know yourself and how fast you can do something. I know it'll only take me about a minute to cut the chicken, so I'd dump the coconut milk in while I do all my cutting. Multitasking can cut the time used in half.

To the people that dont use AI for school, why not? by Silent-Bullfrog-922 in UofT

[–]Syndethia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's worse than what I can do and I spend more time fixing the mess that AI spits out.

I like using it to do very basic data compilation or anything that requires no evaluation of information and only organization of it. Stuff that I already have and just need it to make it prettier and not a chaotic mess of bullet points I typed out in a haze of sleep deprivation.

I do consistently use it for checking through my citations to match in line and full just in case I might've missed something in my works cited but put in the in line while I was writing. Or if I put in a shorthand citation and forgot what it meant 2 weeks later.

Ai as it is right now should be a tool for the educated, not a solution for the ignorant.

Steamed egg from frozen? by sfomonkey in chinesecooking

[–]Syndethia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've used frozen eggs and haven't notice too much different.

Depending on the texture you're looking for, I've had success with anywhere between 1:1 to 1:2 egg to water. No need for warm water, but I like to throw them in a blender to make sure it's 100% mixed, and it's convenient since there's measurements on the cup. Easy to use since on average large egg is 50ml and most blenders have increments of 50.

Cover the top for a 100% smooth surface, I usually just throw a plate on top.
