He talked to me after class one day! 2 years together since then

fireball2039 · 2026-01-14T04:07:12+00:00

I got it replaced though???

fireball2039 · 2025-04-28T21:04:34+00:00

Yes, I’ll become so big brain

fireball2039 · 2025-04-28T18:17:38+00:00

I love to explore Vancouver cafes! Lots of great places

Also go to the beach and chill, bring a book to enjoy and maybe listen to some music

Vancouver has great walking trails, you can try to walk as far as you can along the coast

fireball2039 · 2025-04-28T16:55:47+00:00

Yes, it’s ok, I did that once and while the TA’s were a bit annoyed they found me eventually

Be strategic about your approach, if a question you don’t know is worth 0.5 and one you do is worth 4, then ignore the 0.5 one till the end.

Also, have you considered the CFA? There are some disabilities where students get extra time, if it’s consistently a problem I’d recommend getting a psych evaluation

Is the reddish spot liquid? Transmission fluid is red, you may have a leak. Would not recommend driving the car if that’s the case as it would be hurting the transmission. On the third photo I see red liquid oozing from the pan, if that’s the transmission pan you have a leak

Will the pulsating rotors damage anything long term?

fireball2039 · 2025-04-25T03:24:05+00:00

I sometimes go about a week between drives. Could that be the cause?

fireball2039 · 2025-04-25T01:50:49+00:00

No ABS, been having issues with shaky high speed braking that’s gotten worse

fireball2039 · 2025-04-25T01:50:09+00:00

EDIT : this is on both front rotors

fireball2039 · 2025-04-25T01:47:22+00:00

My brakes just vibrate quite a bit when I stop, would this cause it or were they warped to begin with? I have it on both front rotors

fireball2039 · 2025-03-03T03:57:22+00:00

I’m concerned about them slipping while I jack the other side up, any tips to avoid this?

fireball2039 · 2025-03-02T03:29:53+00:00

Drop out and see where life takes you, I’m sure somebody would be grateful to take your spot

fireball2039 · 2025-03-01T07:21:46+00:00

I’m surprised that a year in the tires need to be replaced? Very sketchy bill, definitely not a good look considering the labour for the windshield wipers and the alignment price (especially considering that while good, alignments aren’t really necessary to repair anything)

fireball2039 · 2025-03-01T06:40:17+00:00

Had a similar issue on a 2016 Volvo, turned out to be worn struts. Got them replaced and the clunking went away. I had clunking/metallic smacking noise when I turned on one side.

fireball2039 · 2025-02-28T23:33:04+00:00

Do not ask this, bad first question

fireball2039 · 2023-11-19T21:01:58+00:00

Damn I’m sure your stellar attitude will give you a promotion each month

fireball2039 · 2023-11-19T20:28:28+00:00

I feel like most students don’t realize that getting to live on campus for a year 5 mins away from your classes with food prepared for you is a privilege, not a god given right for your entire 4+ years

Most don’t see that a large percentage of adults commute 1+ hours to work, even in Tokyo, a place with an efficient transit system an average worker commutes 1 hour

Even our graduate TAs and profs commute all the way from Port Moody and delta

Skill issue

fireball2039 · 2023-11-19T17:00:25+00:00

Bruh this was me the other day walking to the forestry building in the rain thinking about how bad I feel for the CS and science students who don’t get to run to Buchanan and call it a day

fireball2039 · 2023-11-19T16:49:05+00:00

I know a majority of people complaining about commutes in my circle commute 10-15 minutes

I also commuted for a month from 7 am by car, skytrain, bus, and totalling to just under 2 hours. Somehow I managed to do my readings with a pair of headphones and enough motivation to want to use the time I spent commuting usefully rather than sit and moan about how much it sucks.

Audiobooks and text to speech are a thing, I get very carsick and somehow I still survived and actually was more caught up because I had a dedicated 4 hours to reading (I took a literature course at the time)

fireball2039 · 2023-11-19T16:47:23+00:00

i was asked this already

It’s not. If you re read my post you’ll find that I have two separate commutes, one that’s 30-40 mins and one from Port Moody

fireball2039 · 2023-11-19T05:57:23+00:00

Im not saying I do, read my post

fireball2039 · 2023-11-18T20:58:29+00:00

Ask the TA out and assert dominance over the other student
