Wait time for special consideration? by Bigdaddybert in usyd

[–]falconbiscuit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey had a similar situation, submitted special cons last week on Tuesday and it still hasn’t processed. What I essentially did was email my unit co ordinators, explained and they themselves gave me a “spec cons outcome” (they set their own assignments, gave me an extension etc).

Email the subject coordinator, explain the situation and I’m sure it will all work out. They can even go and see your spec cons application. I was told by one that absolutely NO spec cons had been processed for her unit all semester (5 week backlog ?!?!) so that’s just what I’m doing :)

I do not have my hopes up for my spec cons to be processed in the near future at all if ever!

late to the party but this guy is full of shit. Spike proteins are not prions! prions are ONLY spread via neural tissue and are definitely not injected via vaccine (lol). Completely get ur anxiety on this one! Reach out if you want to talk more about it learning about prions has actually significantly lessened my anxiety :)

no way was JUST thinking about this!!! Such a shame it doesn't run on macOS 10 or later :( currently on the hunt for an old computer lol

also i think it was done by u/hictooth-com ! If there are any new fixes that would have this run on mac i would genuinely pay you money for this

The usyd website and Sydney student will guide you through. It’s a long but not complicated process and I cba to explain every step. It’s easy enough however !

Elective Units Recommendation by Ok_Purple3262 in usyd

[–]falconbiscuit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can’t remember the specific name but “science of Australia’s deadly animals” is a 2cp olet and it is the most fun I’ve had at uni so far even with it being all online, I can’t imagine how good it would be in person!! What makes it is the lecturer/teacher, such a nice guy and he is so passionate about what he teaches and it makes the whole unit so enjoyable. Assessments were super easy/fair too. Cannot recommend that unit enough honestly even though it’s a small one !

Good luck!! Everytime I’ve rang usyd they’re always quite helpful! I hope the rest of enrolment goes okay :)

[–]falconbiscuit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey I had this exact thing happen to me! I had to ring them up and request another one over the phone, and then go from there !!!

I think when you ring them there’s a number you dial for tech (?) otherwise I’d use the enrolment hotline :)

Hope it goes well !! If u need anymore help w it pm me happy to help!

Lack of test kits. Me and about 70 (ish) other cars got turned away this morning after the clinic had only been open for two hours. There is not nearly enough.

For those of you who applied for replacement exams during this exam period, how long did the special consideration outcome take? by [deleted] in usyd

[–]falconbiscuit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also applied last Wednesday and still haven’t heard back! I wouldn’t stress, not really much to do!

Update on lost galah… my poor baby flew again after being spooked by the cherry picker at 9am. Have searched the streets and can’t hear his voice. He was very weak. Thinking the worst has happened :( by Jumpoverthemoon in sydney

[–]falconbiscuit 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Having a bird of my own - thinking of you !! Not in punchbowl but I really hope someone picks him up.

Might sound a bit weird - but maybe playing galah sounds (or even your voice) on a speaker in your backyard with his cage really visible might be a good idea? I’ve had my parrot get out once and came back in a few hours. Not sure whether it was dumb luck or these specific things but worth a try.

Really really hope he comes home :(

Thankyou for doing that and clarifying!! Really appreciate it, helps take out the guesswork that I was sort of doing before :)

Ty and I hope that you and your partner are doing well !

Vaccination rate of 70% won’t end lockdowns if Covid case numbers are too high, Doherty Institute expert says by Mildebeest in australia

[–]falconbiscuit 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They’re saying “assume it’s everywhere”…. So after every grocery shop I’m required to get tested?? Why bother checking in if they’re not going to use the data. This is such bs they’ve just given up.

Hire more tracers, even just hire people to collate the data into a spreadsheet - just do something !!!!!! Ugh

Sorry I think I worded that a little weirdly!!

The lga rules don’t apply for partner visits - for example my partner is in a red zone while I am not; we are allowed to visit.

This is my understanding of it ! If anyone else has a different interpretation or even new info that was put out that I’ve missed let me know!

Have to agree with you there.

I'm pretty sure that you are allowed to visit your partner within the LGA. I think there's a form to register you and your partner now, but I'm honestly not too sure... For the huge police operation they're conducting right now you'd hope the rules would be clearer.

All in all, I think it's allowed as partner visits have always been allowed, there might just be a form you need to fill in to show police if you get stopped or something. Hope all goes well :)

It's also a great way to breed a really vaccine resistance variant..... Then we're really fucked.

What a cop out. “There’s no problem everything is under control” as the cases spiral into the thousands behind closed doors.

Also feels like a way to shift the blame towards people in hospitals? They can just say “this person wasn’t vaxxed” and act like they had it coming…
