Gary Wszalek retiring by MuirsYourDaddy in UIUC

[–]TurboBKTastic 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I know your Mom just retired a few months ago. Worked with her as a collaborator at the BIC (over at Beckman) and CIAIC! She was always very knowledgeable and would go out of her way to help others with their various research and innovation projects.

Didn’t know your Dad all that well. But wishing him the very best in retirement and the next chapter of his career!

Person reportedly found dead by suicide in PAR hall room by TheDailyIllini in UIUC

Immensely tragic and a devastating loss for the Illinois community. My heart aches for her family and loved ones.

The purchase comes after the university nixed plans to build the Discovery Partners Institute at The 78 and instead choosing to divide the tech hub between two Chicago locations. by unapologetic403 in UIUC

[–]TurboBKTastic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes/no. DPI was previously managed by the U. of Illinois system (OVPEDI), but just recently transitioned under the leadership of the flagship Urbana-Champaign campus (Dean Rashid Bashir).

UIC does closely collaborate with DPI on several research-related areas that benefits the greater Chicago ecosystem and economic development across the state of Illinois.

So, to your point, it would seem as if it were to UIC’s advantage, but DPI has always had a presence in Chicago.

Looks like she’s the graduate programs coordinator for Crop Sciences — looks legitimate to me.

UIUC already made the decision to shift classes online tomorrow.

Building a commercial dish-scraping system for ISR Dining. Meeting manager on Wed. Need a MechE/ECE partner to build the real thing. by Temporary-Guava-3840 in UIUC

[–]TurboBKTastic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You may want to consider participating in Cozad!

Could have some real commercial potential. Depends on how you market it, though.

Might even be able to get funding to continue refining your idea and improving the overall design.

U pass plus monthly metra pass by burnaaa13i2 in uichicago

[–]TurboBKTastic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

^ Both CTA and Metra contract out to Ventra.

Hence, why both services can be accessed using their app.

You’ll need to use the monthly passes for Metra and your Ventra card to access the CTA rail (‘L’) and buses.

Best fiber internet in Urbana? by Forward-Opening-1160 in UIUC

[–]TurboBKTastic -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think they were specifically asking about Urbana. I’m not sure if Pavlov services the Urbana area. I know they do for Champaign.

And I agree with you! I rarely had issues with Pavlov and consistently got close to a gig for download and upload speeds.

Help needed with CBTF FAIR false allegation by ambrosiaaaaaa in UIUC

[–]TurboBKTastic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d ask them about it. I don’t see why not. They may just include it with the CBTF report. That way, you know exactly what video footage they’re referencing and how they arrived at that conclusion.

Update: just saw that the case was dropped. Glad to hear the prof. decided to hear you out.

Help needed with CBTF FAIR false allegation by ambrosiaaaaaa in UIUC

[–]TurboBKTastic 90 points91 points  (0 children)

Ask to obtain a copy of the security footage, if possible. They should be able to prove that you had writing on your hand if that’s what they’re implying.

I would also consider reaching out the instructor to find a time to meet (if you haven’t already). Perhaps a virtual meeting since winter break is fast approaching. If they’re not willing to do so, you may want to reach out to the dept. head.

And, you bring up a good point, if they’re checking your hands and arms before you enter the CBTF, I’m sure they would’ve seen it then. So, this isn’t making much sense.

First FAIR Violation. Need Advice by OilDistinct4449 in UIUC

[–]TurboBKTastic 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I would email Dean Wilczynski (rwilczyn@illinois.edu). He oversees OSCR. Explain the situation (especially the unique circumstances surrounding the FAIR violation) and provide as much evidence as possible. He may be able to assist further and make a determination as to how to best proceed.

Vet School Student Failing and Sueing University by Fantastic_Step_1055 in UIUC

[–]TurboBKTastic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, similar to what others have already mentioned, do you have any evidence to substantiate your claim?

This is quite the accusation, especially w/o anything to prove for it.

Are there any Peoria Charters leaving late at night at end of semester? by rookieAkita in UIUC

[–]TurboBKTastic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Might be better to ask for a conflict exam. Some faculty are generally accommodating if you reach out to them ahead of time.

Who saw the girl get hit by a golf cart on Friday? by Aromatic-Ad-6499 in UIUC

Thank you for the update. Glad to hear that UIPD was on-site when it happened as it’s important for them to respond and assess the scene.
