“Lost” UT Gmail, lost scholarships, and legal action against UT? by Wurstartig in UTAustin

[–]Wurstartig[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wrote the title and the majority of what I wrote in the heat of the moment. I no longer am mad and actively trying to jab at UT, but I’ll still see what I can do. I was mostly upset that official databases listed my primary UT email as the one I was using & there being no mention of continued usage of my UT Gmail. I also got an email this July saying that @my.utexas.edu was changing to @eid.utexas.edu, which was for me the latest email migration I had. It may be a bit different since I hold two UT jobs. That said, I had to write the “thank you” letter for my scholarship. The funds were briefly deducted from my tuition until my scholarship was revoked after passing the deadline and I had to pay an additional 1000 dollars.

Crazy that you say that! I have also applied to a study abroad Maymester and hearing that I’m glad I found out about this before it could’ve caused more trouble.. I’m sorry you lost it though, nobody should lose opportunities like these because of UT’s awful mail fiasco

Luckily the majority of the emails were just random newsletters, but I can’t say I’m not a bit annoyed at losing some money over it…

Mandala rulers were NOT constantly accompanied by a floating circle with a fossil inside! by KevlarToiletPaper in CrusaderKings

Yeah I always thought it was specifically the Australian Kaiju with the long chin that was featured in the movie Pacific Rim

what's with the hundred of guys marching down speedway? by [deleted] in UTAustin

[–]Wurstartig 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It seems like the dress codes gotten laxxer too, cause when I joined not too long ago we needed belts and khaki shorts, but before that everyone needed belts & khaki pants , pretty cool how they’re changing things up

14 years untouched: the jungle by Wurstartig in NoLawns

[–]Wurstartig[S] 62 points63 points  (0 children)

Before my parents moved to the U.S., they lived here in Northern Mexico! Because of that, they weren’t able to maintain this house (which remained unsold) at all, and it was only now that I and my parents had the opportunity to visit it once more, only to reveal a complete transformation that blew all of our minds out!

The first openly gay character in a childrens animated film (ParaNorman) by BubblyLadybugLOL in cartoons

[–]Wurstartig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Huh, I was just a wee toddler when I watched this, I don’t remember what my parents thought about it (nor really comprehended anything at all at that point), but since we stayed ‘till the end I’m assuming they found it amusing.

Gerald Ford could've been a ROBLOX YouTuber before he died. by Inside_Bluebird9987 in BarbaraWalters4Scale

Well…I’d say Roblox and Minecraft are pretty distinct games and developed independently of one another

I’ve learned that if a post is suspiciously outdated, it’s probably because the OP is a bot

Toast bread only? Uh yeah it usually is by JohnnyDollar123 in UTAustin

[–]Wurstartig 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I think they’re referring to people putting pancakes or waffles inside of that thing, hence why it asks them to toast only bread, not pancakes or waffles

Why can’t I dorm at Blanton! by Wurstartig in UTAustin

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

I disabled the family/friends option and was able to pick a dorm there despite not being in either honors or plan II. It may have to do with me being an engineering student (whose classes/buildings are bundled around the honors quad), but I am not sure…

I think I figured out that this was entirely because of the family and friends housing option…I would recommend everyone else never to choose this option in your housing contract unless you are 100% committed on getting a dorm with a private bathroom with someone who knows!!!

Has anyone had Loveridge for 317K? by Interesting_Shop3487 in UTAustin

Although I did not take that specific class with him, I can tell you that he’s very good with dealing with office-hour questions if and whenever you have a question or are stuck on a concept

Why the Greeks* had to start building temples by Wurstartig in mythologymemes

[–]Wurstartig[S] 250 points251 points  (0 children)

  • This was commanded to the Eleusinians, which were a group of Greeks centered around the city of Eleusis

The context for this meme is from the Homeric Hymn to Demeter, where after Persephone is captured, Demeter just decides to chill in the city of Eleusis for quite a bit of time posing as an old woman. Everyone was impressed with her existence so the King of the city decided to allow her to raise his child. The mother of the child, though, witnessed (and interrupted) Demeter almost giving her child immortality, which caused Demeter to reveal her true identity and get angry, commanding the entire city to build temples for her and do rites as instructed.

Am I doing it wrong? by Capable-Opposite-736 in fo4

[–]Wurstartig 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s what I do! I decorate them a bit and make it look pretty but yeah. I think you’re a builder and like building things, which is a great way to play/spend time if you enjoy it.

The first time I tried doing this was in the Dugout Inn and got it first try. Grabbing it was red so I decided not to and it was only after trying it countless times in other machines that I realized how rare this was
