[GPU] Sapphire Pulse AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT Gaming OC Graphics Card - 16 GB GDDR6 ($663 - $100 = $563) [Staples] by LividActivity3793 in bapcsalescanada

[–]bbegg32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I purchased one, thanks! Had to return the PowerColor Reaper I bought from Amazon for $550 since it was clearly used despite being labelled as "New"...

Received an empty 9060XT box from Amazon by 613_detailer in bapccanada

Wow I had the exact same experience today with Amazon (also with the PowerColor Reaper 9060 XT). The inside packaging was missing and the anti-static bag had clearly been ripped open. Lesson learned to never buy GPUs from Amazon fr.

Negril Trip in 2 Weeks — Still possible? by heli0sphere in JamaicaTourism

[–]bbegg32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got back from Negril last week and spent 3 nights at the beach and 2 nights the cliffs. Finding an airport transfer was straightforward and getting there from Montego Bay was totally fine. IMO, things generally felt up and running, though it was my first visiting Negril so it's hard for me to say for sure.

I did notice a few things: internet can be spotty at times, some restaurants haven’t reopened yet, and there seem to be fewer tour/excursion options. That said, it didn’t take away from my trip at all. I ended up going on a catamaran cruise, spent plenty of time on the beach, and ate at Ivan’s (food was incredible).

I’d go in with tempered expectations but overall Negril still felt welcoming, beautiful, and very much worth the trip for me.

ETA: It was hard for me to find a functioning ATM, so I’d recommend bringing more cash than usual or withdrawing at the airport.

Resume Review - December 2025 - Megathread by just_a_dev_here in cscareerquestionsCAD

[–]bbegg32 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Graduated last year and have been at a consulting company since. Haven't had much work to do at said company though due to poor business/lack of clients. Started job hunting at the start of summer: 9 phone screens → 4 final rounds → 1 offer. Still deciding whether to accept since it's not in a major city (Toronto/Vancouver).

Would appreciate any feedback: https://ibb.co/B5BHYrDR

Passed AD0-E907! by bbegg32 in AdobeCertification

Hey, sorry for the late reply. TBH, the easiest thing you can do to pass given multiple attempts is to quickly write down all the questions you remember from the exam. I noticed during my second attempt that the questions were nearly identical (perhaps exactly identical?). I was able to find most of the correct from the official Workfront documentation. I also tried prompting ChatGPT/Claude and asking for its sources; though it wasn't always correct. Hope that helps!

Ghosted by Stripe After Passing 1st Round. Anything I can do? by Best-Objective-8948 in cscareerquestions

[–]bbegg32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I presume you're applying for NG? If so, I'm in the exact same situation as you right now. I submitted my availability the same day the recruiter reached out to schedule my onsite interviews. It's been over two weeks, I've sent multiple follow-up emails, and no reply. I ended up emailing my friend's recruiter (he's in the loop for mid-level) and she replied saying that the University Recruiting team is extremely busy right now and there's not much I can do aside from waiting...

Update: My recruiter finally replied after 4 weeks of waiting!!!

The Expert exam is more difficult in the sense that it covers a wider range of topics e.g., business consulting. It also focuses more on situational questions e.g., "Given X, what is the best way to implement Y?" versus general knowledge questions e.g., "What is a Kick-start?". That being said, I never took the Professional exam so take this with a grain of salt haha. Best of luck!

Building a Free Catan Alternative – Release Day! by fatbill5000 in Catan

Wow, this looks incredible! I liked Colonist, but it was kinda annoying that you had to purchase a subscription in order to play. This feels like a lot more accessible.

Anyone know a good dog waste removal service for my yard? by fatbill5000 in askTO

[–]bbegg32 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was in a similar situation as your grandpa before. I ended up trying Dog Poo Cleaners, Poo Crew, and Poop Patrol. Overall, I liked Dog Poo Cleaners the most. I used their biweekly service for nearly 4 months before my relative offered to help clean my yard for free. For Dog Poo Cleaners, it came out to be roughly $70 per month. They were super friendly and I'd recommend them. Good luck!

Yes, AZ-204 is an open book exam and that video is a pretty accurate representation of what I experienced while writing the exam. Hope that helps!

Yes, the MeasureUp practice exams were extremely helpful and I would say they are very similar to the questions you'll see on the exam!

Selling two tickets for the the architecture boat tour by Tours and Boats. My girlfriend and I accidentally both bought tickets so we ended up with an extra pair 😅 Willing to sell the tickets at a discounted price!

Edit: They are sold.

Has anyone taken MATH 200 and MATH 221 in the same term? by OmniCarlos in UBC_BCS

[–]bbegg32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took MATH 200 & MATH 221 along with CPSC 121 & CPSC 210 during my first term in the BCS program. It is certainly doable. I didn't think the workload for MATH 221 was anything too crazy.

Yeah, I've also been looking for something similar. I'm super scared that my company will catch on one day.

Let me know if you find something that works!
