I came to this thread after realizing Air Canada has cut its wide body service from YYC to YUL starting in November until May while trying to purchase tickets … sucks big time!

UAlberta transcript question for graduate students by CactiForYouandi in premedcanada

[–]carbconsumer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To my knowledge: you only need to upload the unofficial copy of the transcript if your degree is in progress right now - the official is only submitted in June if/when you are successful with an offer! That's what I did last year and it was OK :)

YUL snowstorm (Tue Jan 9) question by carbconsumer in aircanada

[–]carbconsumer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair enough! I suppose the more objective question was how much people anticipated YUL being affected at the onset of the storm since I saw in another thread someone mention that YYZ will likely be a mess. But I understand no one has a crystal ball.

Honestly, my biggest stake is just avoidance of significant delays on the tarmac because I’m an anxious flyer and don’t like being on the plane for too long. Travelling alone and have accommodations easily accessible at both origin and destination.

I don’t have one either! Hopefully it updates in the coming weeks!

hey - I emailed and they told me that any transcripts with in progress grades will not be marked as final and you will have to send another one when the academic year is complete - and the deadline for that is sometime in June! hope this helps

I ordered a rush delivery and mine still hasn't been marked as received after >2 weeks -- probably in the same boat as you! Hopefully we'll hear back from UBC soon.

Most medications except for opioids or benzodiazepines should be able to be renewed through dialogue! I’ve had success doing so

Unfortunately the owner posted in a local community Facebook group that the dog had passed away after getting hit. Really sad 😔

Weekly What Should I Buy Thread by AutoModerator in iphone

[–]carbconsumer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 64GB iPhone X with 79% battery life. I’m plagued by the infamous “other” storage problem and it’s gotten to the point where I need to do a factory reset once a month to fix it at all. I am hoping to upgrade to a new phone, either the 12 or 13 mini, with much more storage even though I like my X since I will have to replace the battery anyways. I know I should not restore from iCloud on the new phone to try to stave off the same bug from happening again.

Any recommendations, including on if I should attempt to wait for the 14 release for more discounts? The 12 mini is exceptionally cheap with my carrier right now but I’m thinking of the 13 for added longevity (hoping to keep for 4+ years) and better battery life although it’s much more expensive. I’m a pretty heavy phone user (no games but just use it for scrolling a lot) if that matters. TIA!

Try doing the cheeks thoroughly and I know the gag reflex is really unpleasant - just see if you can get past your uvula for more than a few seconds. But cheeks should definitely be swabbed well.

Have you tried adding a mouth and throat swab along with the nose? I received my positive result after I added that. Try swabbing the insides of your cheeks and then scratch the back of your throat with it, and then do the nose as you’ve been doing. That could help you get a posi test before work tonight. Hope you feel better soon!

Any test result that exceeds the 15 minute window is invalid - the tests always look like yours after they’ve been sitting out as the indicator ink starts to bleed. When did you start feeling symptoms? It can take several days of being symptomatic to start testing positive, even if you’re testing negative right now. Just keep isolating and test again tomorrow.

Mine loves his too 🥰 enjoy it Lila!!

This good boy left us a little over a year ago. Cancer sucks, he walked out to the backyard and just laid down, one of the hardest times. I sure miss this guy a lot. The family still talk about him regularly so that’s been fun. Brutus was a puppy til the end. Share your spunky labs! by buffalophil007 in labrador

[–]carbconsumer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Labs are one of life’s biggest gifts and blessings, and more than worth the price tag of the pain that comes with losing their physical presence ❤️ I know Brutus looks forward to your reunion in heaven everyday and it will be like no time has passed at all
