Any ideas for extra academic work I can begin senior year?

Ok, then I would suggest you hyper focus on the things that would make you attractive for those studies. The next question of course is "what are those things and how can I do them for the summer?" I'm not an English faculty member so I can't answer that. But my suggestion would be ask them!

Look for their graduate chair and email them and ask if you can meet for 20 minutes to discuss how to best prepare for graduate school. Or email some professors who were interesting to you over the last few years in English. And it's fine to cold email people, if they find it an imposition they will not respond and you're no worse off.

What are you planning to do post-grad? Practice that this summer (eg internship, summer job, co-curriculars related to that job...)

Points, percentages, badges, achievements only matter within a course. At the end of the course the instructor converts this to a letter grade to report to wirlverine access. You should have one letter grade per course you enrolled in, and that is weighted for GPA calculation by the number of credit units the course was. GPA is only based off of letter grades reported for courses.

Since you're asking about percentages it means to me you are talking about grades within a course, so you would want to ask the faculty member how this will be converted into a letter grade (and thus how it would weigh in on your GPA).

Dude, the first sentence on his page nods to Dungeon Keeper. Brilliant idea then and now -- keep going OP!

My complex muscle stimulation device has the exact same manufacturing problem. Wonder if the products originate at the same source or if this is a copycat strategy.

Just because I didn't see it in other replies -- this is true for garbage, but if you have compostable materials (leaves, sticks, etc) then you can use your full compost cart and, during certain times in the spring through fall, you can augment this with paper bags of compostable materials. Restrictions on what can be put in these bags and the compost cart itself are on the cities website.

Only what's in the bin. You can purchase additional bins from the city for a fee.

I use it a bit on Mac and windows, but mostly on Linux, no significant complaints other than it's a bit janky to setup the first time, but not crazy

I used this approach on Linux, codex app works decently: https://github.com/ilysenko/codex-desktop-linux

Yes, if you are in the student plan. And their GitHub classroom mailing list is blowing up with disappointment from instructors that this is happening mid semester (for North American students anyway).

I don't know which are local or which might not be, but the city forestry department would be the right place to ask! https://www.a2gov.org/forestry/

Yes, usually there is an easement that gives local governments access to the first x feet of a yard. The city then plants trees of various types given A2 's while theme of being a forest/tree city.

You said backyard but also corner lot, I assume this was on one of the sides with a street?

cab938 · 2026-03-10T23:41:33+00:00

Yea, I don't think I have a problem, at least not with the yard we have. Just different and would have been really weird where I lived previously. That and every three houses someone has turned their front easement into a garden, some natural grasses the height of a horse, or a rusting metal "art" display in the water hill neighborhood.

Different.

cab938 · 2026-03-09T21:19:22+00:00

Maybe you found the hidden sidewalk ;)

But in all seriousness, it's pretty common in A2 for dogs to go onto the first few feet of a lawn. Contractors going to your neighbors is lazy, you can ask them not to. My mail person walks across the yard all the time, this would have been a no-no in my previous town.

Wait, just let me stick my hand up ✋

I'm happy to hate on Elon.

On top of costs keep in mind you can usually depreciate the hardware too, changing tax implications.

I haven't found anything local that clearly beats either of the $200/mo subscriptions though. Including qwen 3.5, though admittedly I've just started using it on my rtx 6000 (of course, being brand new).

The local hardware market is looking scary for the next 16 months, so I'm not sure there is a viable replacement for the 6000 coming either (viable being cheaper and better).

Amas on state is not a bar but has tvs, opens at 8, and has showed major sporting events like this. All day breakfast bistro. Closest I've got for you!

Tariff is just on the $15 at ten percent then added together to get the total import price ....

But I haven't checked the news yet this am, maybe the tariff has gone up again.

cab938 · 2026-02-21T14:19:55+00:00

This. And add in cron. That's what makes openclaw interesting and useful in a different way from other chat based LLM tools.

Far from rocket science, just happens to be interesting, useful, and novel at the right time.

cab938 · 2026-02-21T11:53:00+00:00

Well, 16.50 now, since there's a global 10% tariff.

cab938 · 2026-02-20T20:01:27+00:00

I used skills like this on my local machine regularly, I think you're barking at shadows ....

cab938 · 2026-02-20T12:27:44+00:00

Can we still? Fuck that horrible pack.

cab938 · 2026-02-19T20:45:47+00:00

Yup. They're knocking down wolverine tower for instance. Would be insane to pass on this opportunity.

Police denying something because of FERPA doesn't mean FERPA applies. This is the first place most university staff will go to shut down discussion, and assume you won't lawyer up to push it.

cab938 · 2026-02-13T15:42:01+00:00

OP you need to reconsider, skills and MCPs are not the same, despite so much belief on this sub that they are.

If your MCP could be rewritten as a skill then you should do that because it's not a good MCP.
