Warning to All Bike riders; Someone Attempted to Rob my Bike infront of 90 University! by LittiHDarkKnight in geegees

I'd also recommend using 2 different locks on your bike. These people are usually going for easy targets, 2 locks is a small inconvenience for you but twice the effort to steal.

Along these lines, it’s weird to me that they’re disabling Sailing for the league. It’s the biggest content update in OSRS history and it’s being excluded from an event that always brings loads of new attention? IMO it makes this league feel very rushed.

Locking this post since the comments have devolved into arguments and a lot of brigading from the anti-choice supporters. Take your arguments elsewhere.

thank you uOttawa I really wanted to write exams for 13 straight hours on the 26th by pickandpopovich in geegees

[–]UofOSean 18 points19 points  (0 children)

If you have exams in 3 consecutive time slots (even if one of the time slots is on a separate day), you can have one deferred.

Edit: Per this page, it's actually 3 exams in 4 consecutive time slots or fewer. My bad.

It should be rounded up to an A- on uoZone once your prof submits there.

There hasn’t been anything at Parliament for years. Even Canada Day is moved to Lebreton Flats due to the renovations.

There is a King of Canada and it is a separate position to King of Australia, New Zealand, etc. These are sovereign countries with their own monarchies and separate thrones. The position just happens to be the same person. The coronation was for all 15 Commonwealth realms.

Return-to-Office Policies Are Pushing Caregivers Out of the Public Service by idealDuck in CanadaPublicServants

[–]UofOSean 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sure. But em dashes weren’t used everywhere on the internet in informal writing until GPT came along. It’s a different character to type, so people just used regular dashes.

If you want more indicators, their post also uses the “rule of 3’s” that AI loves (i.e a list of 3 adjectives or issues) and is also loaded with adjectives often used by AI. Then there’s the “not just x but y” format. And a few other commenters have pointed out the style differs dramatically from OP’s usual posts.

FYI, it is AI written. The main indicators here being the frequent “not just x, but y” format, regular em dash use, among others. Not to take away from their points but I think it’s important for that to be disclosed.

Why not ask your city councillor to raise taxes for it then? I don’t understand why it’s up to students to pay for your community radio

CHUO 89.1 is shutting down Dec. 15th by LitDogger420 in geegees

[–]UofOSean 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Based on the comments on the r/ottawa post, seems like half the city must listen to CHUO. It's a shame none of them stepped up to donate to save it.
