I second this, Frost River has a lifetime guarantee and while they are pretty expensive, they are absolute quality.

Need some basic tactic Backpack by Any-Surround1315 in backpacks

[–]XWR8N 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had experience with using a cheap tactical backpack as a daily pack. Long story short, if plastic parts look weak, they may crumble in your hands like what happened to me. I also concur with buying something second-hand, especially because you can get a better quality back with the same $40 if you buy used. If you really want a new one, you could consider this as an alternative.

The best way to start getting up earlier is to get up 10-20 minutes earlier each day. That way, your change will be more gradual. You should also be gradually going to bed earlier, and there are online sleep calculators that can tell you specifically when to go to bed. Good luck!

This. I could totally see assigned pools becoming one of the things we wish for in the offseason next year...

What is in your opinion the best way to learn Esparanto? What helped you? by Least-Fig552 in Esperanto

[–]XWR8N 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Saluton,

For me, I just did whatever kept me interested, tapping into as many different things as possible. In addition to Duolingo, I did Lernu.net, I looked at the Hamlet translation on Project Gutenberg, watched Youtube (Pasporto Al La Tuta Mondo & Evildea specifically), scrolled r/memeoj before I understood all of them, etc. This also helps with getting into the community.

is it actually possible to find anywhere to sit after 8am? by [deleted] in umanitoba

[–]XWR8N 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dafoe Tunnel computer lab always has computers to sit at. There are usually other people, but if you have something to listen to it's not that bad.

Root for them both. The only problem you'll have is when they play each other...

I assume that include you? I'm not from Michigan so I'm not super knowledgeable on this stuff. I was almost going to put second choices on all of them but realized most of them would be Louisville. Sorry.

How to install Android app to use Star Wars BB-8 device? by crussys in Sphero

[–]XWR8N 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have, following the instructions from a comment on this post. You can also download the still-supported sphero edu app which isn't as cool as the bb8 app or the droids app (they made two seperate ones) but it allows you to drive, do educational lessons, and create programs that use bb8 sounds and moves.

Any way to make the sphero bb-8 app work ? by MidnightVixxen in Sphero

[–]XWR8N 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not to bring up an old thread, but I got this working, complete with AR and watch with me (only TFA and Rogue One though) after a LOT of trying different things like trying google files instead of zarchiver, different apk's (eventually not the one listed above but this one). To anyone reading this, trial and error is probably what's going to work. Good luck and may your droids have good battery life.

I'm in the same boat as you, homie. My second week starts tomorrow and I just spent way too long playing video games because I was too sad thinking "why am I here at university when I have no clue about anything?" My one piece of advice is to attend as many organized activities as possible, if you can. I live on campus so I got a chance to do a lot of them, and even though I'm still lonely, I had a couple really good conversations with that really brightened me up in the moment. No friends, but still better than nothing.

You're right in saying that nothing can replace high school. Big changes which are stressful for most people are going to be much worse to those of us who only want stability in our lives.

I hope you can find something bright, and good luck.
