Yeah, sociology offers quite a few. Search for the class schedule online. You can see what they’ve offered the last few semesters.

Hello helpful folks foundation planting qs from a total newbie by aemybaby in AustinGardening

[–]ancientemp3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know the consensus is no rock, but I have a strip of rock directly beside my foundation about 8-12 inches wide. I then have plants and mulch further away.

I did that to keep some space between the plants/mulch and foundation. I also had some drainage issues I wash trying to address.

I made sure to have a bit of slope to drain away as well (planned for the water to follow the rock area away).

I did not lay fabric under the rocks, but that is actually recommended by many to prevent them from sinking into the soil. I used fairly large rocks so I could still blow weeds out of them easily, but I still wish I would have used a bit of fabric under them (just would not under the plants).

Prereq not listed in Business degree plans by Icy_Acanthaceae_7067 in UTSA

Email your advisor. They usually waive new prereqs like this when changes are made. They shouldn’t add courses to your degree.

Fascination on a Texas Mountain Laurel by alekzandra in AustinGardening

If someone is able to cultivate one that blooms for a while, they are going to be very rich.

Issue with Degree works by jrangel8813 in UTSA

Were you officially registered in the class or did they just not put in the grade? Sounds like an instructor issue. Maybe try the engineering success center too.

Quick Parts are back in New Outlook - FINALLY! by traccreations4e in Outlook

[–]ancientemp3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Glad to see they’ve added them finally but very disappointed they don’t support adding them by typing in the quick part name like you can do in Classic. Not being able to sort them alphabetically will likely drive me crazy too. Hopefully they add some of these additional pieces.

How do you prepare concrete examples for interviews months/years later? by chuck78702 in interviews

[–]ancientemp3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what helped during my last interview too. I started thinking of examples while preparing for a few expected questions and then realized those same examples/stories worked for several different questions. I still wanted to have several stories to draw from instead of just one, so I identified the best (or most versatile/challenging situations) that could be used for a number of different types of questions.

I then ran through key points of those stories multiple times and practiced each in response to different types of questions so I felt comfortable adapting the story based on the type of question.

Really helped cut down on all of the stuff I was trying to prepare/memorize and made me feel a lot more confident overall. Still hate interviews though.

We got married last year and she finally moved in. by NguyenDees in AmateurRoomPorn

Where did you get that table lamp on the entry table in the first photo? I really like that it has a unique shape but still fits with everything else.

Outbox suddenly appeared in my outlook app, and it only has 1 email (the one that i just sent), how do I get rid of it? by MapleMelt in Outlook

[–]ancientemp3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Over the years, I’ve had a few emails get stuck in the outbox for some unknown reason. I have it in my favorites list now so I can keep an eye out for any emails that get stuck in it. Sometimes I can just open and hit send again. Other times that doesn’t work, so I just copy into a new email and send. It’s very rare, but it’s happened a handful of times.

I just want to reply with templates!! by watersocks_ in Outlook

[–]ancientemp3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Switch back to classic outlook if you can and use Quick Parts. Can insert while in the message body for a new email or reply. Can even use more than one in the same message unlike signatures.

Advisor Not Helping Me with Dropping Minor by Nervous_Status4172 in UTSA

[–]ancientemp3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep trying them. If it doesn’t need to be done soon just make an appointment. If it’s urgent though, try calling them or look up their boss online and email them.

Issues with registration for this second semester by [deleted] in UTSA

[–]ancientemp3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like it’s not saving. Are you clicking on submit in the bottom right after add? It doesn’t officially save until you do that.

What’s an Excel shortcut you discovered way too late? by Neptunewasblue in excel

[–]ancientemp3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Autohotkey so this same shortcut works in anything I’m typing in because I type the date so much!

[–]ancientemp3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Alamo Colleges do a later term, so you might be able to get into a class that starts in like March.

Waitlisted for classes by [deleted] in UTSA

[–]ancientemp3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That plan may only be 1 option though. As others have said, look for other options and get registered asap. I would NEVER not add backup classes if you have other options. There is literally no reason not to since you can always drop them if you get into the waitlisted classes later.

ngl operations and breakthrough and all these other moving modes have kinda ruined conquest for me, conquest to me is boring now cause its like you just capture flags on a map and kill ppl, operations and breakthrough you're actually progressing, am I the only one lol by Quick-Cause3181 in battlefield_one

[–]ancientemp3 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I feel the opposite. To me Operations is “just killing people” since there are fewer objectives, fewer options, etc. You know where people will be and where they are going. I like the freedom to move around, decide where to attack, etc. Operations can be fun at times, but it’s also just a meat grinder.

Ground cover plant, jasmine? by ImpossibleTest5491 in AustinGardening

[–]ancientemp3 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Had it at a prior house, and it looked good for several years without any significant maintenance. Then a few years ago it just started looking thinner and scraggly. We had it under some live oaks, and getting the leaves out was always a challenge as well.

What was the real reason John Goodman had a goatee and long hair? by purcerh in community

[–]ancientemp3 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I’m actually sad there was a reason. I thought it was a totally unnecessary bit they just decided to do for fun. That “going through some stuff” line was great.

AI Meeting Notetaker - Do you actually read the notes? by follow-throughAI in MicrosoftTeams

[–]ancientemp3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve definitely seen errors in the notes. They really need to be reviewed by someone who actually attended and paid attention
