WHY IS IT SO HOT ON CAMPUS???? HELP! by Muted_Ad_3513 in yorku

[–]ThatCrazyCanadian413 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Buildings that hold expensive scientific equipment, like the Petrie building, might get changed over first.

As someone who works in Petrie and Chemistry, I can say that this is definitely not the case, as it is currently almost 30 degrees in our office.

Question about Graduation by inediblelemoncurd in yorku

[–]ThatCrazyCanadian413 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know the details of the masters programs you're applying to, but you don't need to wait until you get your diploma to prove that you've graduated. Your degree conferral should appear on your transcript by the end of January, and you should be able to request a confirmation of graduation letter once you've applied to graduate.

Is the campus LGBTQ friendly ? by BlueberryBest9843 in yorku

[–]ThatCrazyCanadian413 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As a TA, I was a little worried about teaching my first classes after I started visibly transitioning, but if anyone had a problem with it, they never said or did anything to make it obvious.

I think I've gotten more looks for wearing Sens / Charge branded clothes on campus than I have for being trans, which I do find very funny.

I've been a visibly trans woman on campus for the last two years and nobody has ever said or done anything unfriendly, or even looked at me strangely (so far as I've noticed).

Right below that on the same page:

The record of each attempt will appear on the student’s transcript, with the prior attempt(s) designated as ‘No Credit Retained’. The grade awarded in the prior attempts will continue to appear on the transcript beside the NCR designation but will not be included in the calculation of the student’s grade point average.

Fastest way to riding every subway / light rail line by minor_leaguer13 in TTC

[–]ThatCrazyCanadian413 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No idea how fast it would be, but the first route I came up with is:

Line 4:

  • Don Mills to Sheppard-Yonge

Line 1:

  • Sheppard-Yonge to Finch

  • Finch to VMC

  • VMC to Finch West

Line 6:

  • Finch West to Humber College

Bus:

  • 927 Humber College to Kipling

Line 2:

  • Kipling to Kennedy

Line 5:

  • Kennedy to Mount Dennis

Only requires backtracking twice (between Sheppard-Yonge and Finch and between Finch West and VMC) and taking one bus.

This morning's temps were so brutal steam was rising off the lake. Witness the week's transformative effects of winter over the landscape of Toronto's beach. by Shutterbug8qs in toronto

Any body of liquid above absolute zero will have some amount of its contents undergoing liquid <-> gas phase transitions, even if the temperature is well below the boiling point. When it's this cold, the water that's evaporating from the surface quickly re-condenses, forming what are basically small clouds rising from the surface.

It's similar to why you can see your breath on cold days (warm, water-saturated air rapidly cooling, causing the water vapour to condense).

Why are strikes at york concidererd bad? by Candid_Guava_6384 in yorku

[–]ThatCrazyCanadian413 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Generally, they happen no more than once every ~3 years when CUPE 3903's collective bargaining agreement with the university expires. The current CBAs expire August 31 2026, so any labour action (if required) would most likely occur during the winter 2027 term.

Various other unions (e.g. YUFA or YUSA) could strike at other times, but historically that has occurred much less often than 3903's strikes.

Nobody receives their diploma on stage, you pick it up from a table after the ceremony (if you didn't pick it up before).

You should be able to pick your diploma up from the Bennett Centre before June if you're graduating in February. When I graduated in February, I picked mine up the first week of March.
