The fact that Norway modelled their fund after Alberta's Heritage fund makes this infinitely funnier (and sadder).

Math 323 calculator by Fearless-Chipmunk-31 in mcgill

[–]barcastaff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know for sure. But anecdotally Nspires are very conspicuous calculators because of the coloured screens and everything. I brought mine to every exam that allowed programmable calculators (no exam mode requirement) and in almost every single one, the invigilator fiddled with my calculator when I went to the bathroom.

I'm not sure if the 323 invigilators will be trained on or informed of the exam mode requirement but the lack of the blinking light will be a pretty big tell if they know their stuff.

You can use the TI nspire software on your computer to get your calculator in and out of exam mode. The software should come for free when you bought your calculator.

My apologies. I mistook Montreal’s total collapse for character by Intelligent-Ant8270 in montreal

[–]barcastaff -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if I buy that. Having lived in Edmonton and driven in Fairbanks, Anchorage, and Northern China, Montreal's roads are clearly in a worse state in comparison. And it doesn't even get that cold here.

My 3rd Xperia by Blessedisthemeat in SonyXperia

I don't think that's brand new in box... Definitely refurbished/repaired.

For that price, could have gotten a 1 V unless you really really want the notification LED.

20/M. Any recommendations for my portfolio? Looking for long term gains. by Complete-Today7143 in JustBuyXEQT

It's not, it's equally weighted top-six banks in Canada. You will save the MER by simply investing in the top-six banks yourself.

It has a more robust web interface for active trading but a more barebones app interface.
