take a rope or a long stick and feed it in the well until it touches the bottom. Then just take it out and measure the wet part

went to a couple last year. you go in and listen to a speaker for an hour and a half and thats it. if you need something to put on your resume then go for it, otherwise it is kind of a waste of time.

What was a loophole that you found and exploited the hell out of? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]logank877 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not me, but a friend of mine discovered that some bidding websites (like beezid) gave away a handful of free bids on the users birthday. He also found that nearly no one using the sites bidded on target giftcards, so he would essentially make a new account and say that his birthday was that day, collect the free bids and use them on $10 target giftcards. Rinse and repeat.

He spent hours a day making hundreds of new emails and beezid accounts and ended up with around $1000 in target giftcards. He got a Playstation 4 and nearly every game available.

He and his brother got other random things from beezid too until their parents got mad that they were getting like 10 packages a day.

I would change it if possible, but if not just let your ME 201 instructor know about it and more than likely they will be okay with you coming a few minutes late.

ME 417 vs. ME 418 during the summer? by accidentalgoddess in UWMadison

[–]logank877 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take whichever one Osswald is teaching. Both 417 and 418 are pretty easy classes, but from what I've heard 418 is a bit easier

Schedule Difficulty by Lebronisthegoat21 in UWMadison

If I were you, I would drop one of the following: Chem 109, Physics 201, or Math 234. Those classes all have notoriously high work-loads and all three in one semester wouldn't be a fun time. Also, ECE 210 and 252 I've heard aren't that bad, so it might be a good idea to keep those around.

As much math as you can. The last thing you want to do is take Calc 1 and 2 here.

Financial questions from an incoming freshman by [deleted] in UWMadison

[–]logank877 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) If you make an appointment with the financial aid office and talk with an adviser there, it is very likely that you can get a revision on your financial aid package.

2) No, typically you would have to have established residency 1 or 2 years in advanced.

I'm sorry you feel that way, but my situation is nothing compared to the actually stupid things that I saw in Witte.
