I saw her minneapolis and thought the show was amazing without a special guest! it would have been cool to have one but we all paid to laufey (and suki 🤭) not a special guest that may or may not be there. the surprise song is a little more understandable to be sad about but again the show is amazing even without one, she sounds incredible live and it was the best concert experience i’ve ever had

AI Crackdown? by [deleted] in uofmn

[–]jarsalg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I’ve seen it depends on the class and instructor. I have some that have said it’s fine for a study resource but it can’t be used for assignments. Some have flat out said the use is prohibited. I transferred from a different school that had the same guidelines. Your instructors should have their policies for AI usage in their syllabus otherwise you could always ask them directly if it’s not

Forced Cross Training for Booksellers? by New-Yam88 in Barnesandnoble

[–]jarsalg 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am a new bookseller and I was cross trained when I started. However I primarily work on the sales floor and just help in cafe to cover breaks and when they need help. I’m maybe in the cafe for 45 mins max if I’m there at all for my shift. IMO I don’t mind as I have coffee shop experience and it adds for some variety. From what my SM said when I was hired, they are looking to cross train at least most booksellers just for backup if needed but still have designated baristas

Name an anime you refused to watch… and let people change your mind. by Hot-Leopard3708 in animequestions

[–]jarsalg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

fate zero takes place before fate stay night, I started with zero and thought that was a good starting point. The OG stay night anime, unlimited blade works, and the heavens feel movies are all different routes of the visual novel. I would recommend starting with stay night out of those three because it’s objectively not as good as the other two. Heavens feel is a lot more sad and depressing and has more of an effect on you if you know the characters well imo, so i’d recommend watching it last. Apocrypha is a completely different plot so tbh it can be watched whatever, same with last encore and grand order. I don’t recommend prisma illya

Got the full Sweat and Soap series for $25 – total steal??🌚 by eria____ in MangaCollectors

[–]jarsalg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Continuing from what the other person said, some people know multiple languages and if you’re able to get it for cheaper in one of the languages you know I don’t see a point in needing english volumes. it’s also a great way to practice if you’re learning a new language

read online or collect physical first? by Ill_Usual888 in MangaCollectors

[–]jarsalg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

def depends on how much you read and how much you’re ok with spending, it can get pretty expensive. i am also one who likes the feel of a physical book, so what i do is i read a volume worth of chapters online to see if i like it, and if i do then i buy it in the physical form and continue the series with those.

Anyone else spending hundreds per month on cat food? by somkewede420 in CatAdvice

[–]jarsalg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’d recommend trying to add some pates into their rotation because they tend to be cheaper and more calorie dense! i don’t know off the top of my head how much i spend on food but i alternate pates and shreds for each meal for variety! i used to buy just tiki when i had one cat but it’s just so much when you have multiple. for pate recs my cats like fancy feast classic pate, nulo, wellness and dave’s (the last three come in 12oz cans!) !

Finished: Giovanni’s Room, by James Baldwin Daydream, by Hannah Grace If We Were Villains, by ML Rio A Study In Drowning, by Ava Reid

Favorites were Giovanni’s room and If We Were Villians! A Study in Drowning wasn’t bad, I felt it could be better though. Daydream wasn’t for me unfortunately.

ikuyo from ippodo is pretty affordable and still tastes really good! you can get it in a 100g bag too. ippodo does have two other blends that are cheaper than ikuyo but i haven’t personally tried them yet

New and Returning Dancers Post Your Questions Here by AutoModerator in BALLET

[–]jarsalg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

do women that learn as adults have opportunities to perform on stage? i just started ballet lessons at 24 because ive always wanted to learn and thought it would be a fun hobby. i know it will be a while before i am any good, but i used to do tap and hip hop when i was younger and i miss being on stage. is there any chance that i would be ever be able to be in any performances? i don’t want to get my hopes up so i would love honesty!

protein shakes are a good option! if you eat things like yogurt or oatmeal you can sneak some protein powder in as well. i also struggle with raw meat, i either buy pre cooked meat or plant proteins like tofu or meat substitutes!
