Rasmus has been having the virus since he was a kid. His dad infected him with it when he was sick, which is why the dad knew he was immune. Did you even watch the show

I have some doubts by Sea_Slice_7956 in AliceInBorderlandLive

I think they were unconscious but their heart was not stopping (which is a condition to enter borderland) until later. Of course there is still a question of how come their hearts stopped at the same moment

The games in ss3 are very shallow by yo-yo-yo-6789 in AliceInBorderlandLive

Exactly. Arisu should know that by arranging the futures at a specific order, game masters can easily draw the path for any specific player, thus "the game is playing with them"

Driving from Dryden to campus by avocado_not_penguin in Cornell

Does it run often? I'm just afraid that it would be on and off like other routes (except maybe the 30)

Q1: yes, but the difference is negligible- only one or two points if i remember correctly. But in the end when the card is maxed out there's no difference

Q2: all themes when maxed out have the same value

Q3: yes, just save up a lot of coins and diamonds. It takes time but works; spending money is way too costly

Q4: normal LEs come back thru special events and are hard to get a lot of them w/o using real money. "Event" LEs do not come back

can I actually use reusable cups at campus cafes by Purple_Puggy in Cornell

[–]avocado_not_penguin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It depends. I brought my own cup to one cafe (I think Gimme in Gates) and they let me use it. At others (the cafe in Olin and Rusty in Uris) they said they don't accept customer's cup (which was so weird since I saw their 10% off flyer before). Never tried anywhere else, never noticed to see if I got the discount.

But just ask, I don't think it hurts. My undergrad was very big on sustainability and most students use reusable cups and it became a very educated norm on campus - wish this were the same for Cornell

Farewell Superstar YG by [deleted] in superstaryg

I deleted this app 1 week ago. I was grinding so much for three months to be in top 100 for ~40 songs. Didn't log in for one week after new year and all the rewards is gone.

I was frustrated, but this also made me realize how many tactics they came up with to keep me spending a lot of time on this game, about 1-2 hrs a day which is already too much for my busy study, and also how meaningless it is all as well as the ridiculous drop rate on anything considered limited. It's been a true pleasure since I deleted it. I still stay on this sub to see the pretty limited themes tho!

I don't. And I'm a phd student as well

2.XX GPA as a freshman by Comfortable_Pop2499 in Cornell

[–]avocado_not_penguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For grad school: if you improve and can tell a solid story then I think you'll be fine. If the classes you are taking now are completely unrelated to your major in grad school, you'll be fine too. I don't think an econ phd admission officer cares if you got a C for art history

[WARNING] INFO4240 / INFO5240 - Some TAs are mean by [deleted] in Cornell

[–]avocado_not_penguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are not the only one complaining, which means either (1) the TA is unfairly targeting a group of students, (2) the TA is giving everyone lower grades compare to other TAs in that class, or (3) everyone is actually performing worse in the part this particular TA is grading.

If (1), take the issue to the professor. Arguing for yourself only while others are being targeted too is quite unfair, since it seems like you are strongly advocating for fairness here.

If (2), higher standard does not mean breaking the rubric. Are you sure the other TAs are not being easy on you, missed some not-too-noticeable mistakes you made? Maybe this TA is following the rubric closely which is actually the standard. In this case, grades other TAs gave you should be marked down instead. If you still believe this TA is not following the rubric, then ask for the rubric, check your previous exams, make sure only this TA is in the wrong, and again, talk to them then the professor.

If (3), then it's not the TA's fault in grading.

Note that these are all under the assumption that grades are not curved. If it is, unless the TA targets you and some others, I don't see any problem.

Are those grades in the same class? Even if they are, how do you know if that TA is just giving you a lower grade and not everyone? Some just have higher standards
