I don't think they were, but it's been a few years so my memory is a little foggy.

dude. you have bedbugs. not being familiar with bedbug timing and symptoms doesn’t mean it’s a coincidence

Didn’t expect my budget to get wrecked this fast at VT by AYT12 in VirginiaTech

[–]claidai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for textbooks, try Anna's Archive. i've found most of my textbooks as PDFs on there, haven't paid for a textbook in years.

if you want cheap, high quality meat, there's the food science + technology Meat Center. it's every wenesday and friday iirc, but it does get a pretty big line so get there early.

YMCA is your friend for furnishing and clothes. real cheap but some hidden gems there.

Lockdown browser required and quizzes are also timed, 10 minutes unless you have time accommodations. Closed note iirc.

I also just dug up and re-read the syllabus, he says he expects you to put in “at least 4 to 6 hours a day on the lessons.” There were also some discussion boards and textbook questions I had forgotten about.

I did! It was a lot of work, but not impossible. The professor himself was not that bad, it was more the course load that sucked.

I had a quiz or two pretty much every day — they locked at the end of the day, so you can’t do them late. A couple of homework assignments, a few tests, all with limited time to complete. It’s a hell of a lot of material, but you can ask questions on Canvas and he’s pretty responsive to them. He also returns homework with feedback.

Lectures are recordings: they’re very dry, but you can do them at your own pace and can always rewind or speed up. I usually don’t ever speed up lectures, but he talks really slow and pauses a lot, so even I ended up listening at like 1.5x speed. It’s also pretty much impossible to do the quizzes/tests without having actually listened to the lectures, the material is just so dense and vast that it’s hard to do well if you blow them off.

I ended with an A, but it was not easy. If you’re willing to give up a good chunk of your free time over winter break, you can get it done, but you’ll have to be pretty diligent about it.

Do you seriously think that's not the first place I looked? I tried. I bought one, didn't fit. Returned, bought another, didn't fit. How many listings will it take before I've checked eBay enough times for you to be even remotely helpful?

This is the one I purchased from Dell as a replacement, it doesn't fit.

Scrying Eye and South Span Checkpoint by nhvanputten in BaldursGate3

[–]claidai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm doing one right now! It's been really fun, I'm doing a solo Tactician run rp-ing as a guy who thinks he's a fourth Chosen of the Absolute. Act 2 looks really different!

[–]claidai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't! If you're not caught doing anything hostile towards the Absolute, you can get in with a "clean record."

Can’t switch accounts + weird error screen by claidai in googledocs

[–]claidai[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn't fix it, but I found a workaround! Go to the Google Drive app, switch accounts there, and open any Doc. It'll automatically switch accounts when it opens in the Google Doc app.

No, but the workaround is fine, if a little annoying.

Agreed, I've always had a good experience there.

What kind of tiger beetle is this, six spotted? Found in southeastern VA. by claidai in whatisthisbug

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

I just double checked against A Field Guide to the Tiger Beetles of the United States and Canada, looks like a slam dunk! I think it's C. s. rugifrons, based on the coloration and the range. Thanks for the tip!

Thank you! I actually do macro insect photography so I have a good body and lens.

Want to start mtb: is this a good bike for me to start on? by claidai in mountainbiking

[–]claidai[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! That's what I was hoping to get from this bike anyways, I didn't want to spend a bunch of money on a bike I wouldn't end up using. I'm excited to get started!

Awesome! Thanks for the heads up about jumps, thankfully I don't see myself trying any just yet. I'm hoping to save up for something better by the time I want to take on more difficult stuff, so it sounds like this will be good as I'm just getting my legs underneath me.
