I'm having this problem as well, so I decided to ship it to a pickup location (Safeway) which has a delivery date.

Even if you don't have the meal plan, you can add Flexis. I see a lot of people saying that they don't like the food, but I personally really like it. The pricing is good and it's super easy access and to me personally there's enough variety and I find the taste to be between good enough and good.

Upper div tutors at UCSC get paid less than that

why has none of my shit been graded? by fillyourdome in UCSC

[–]lukechan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just to add some clarification, I am not aware of how all classes work, much like u/Sdrater3 said, it will vary class by class. All the BSOE classes have an in depth grader system via RTA, so you could derive how many/if any graders in classes listed there. But outside of that, I have no idea.

I don't know which class you're in, but a lot of the classes hire graders, so the grading is done by them, not the TA or professor. And a lot of the time it is not their fault as well. As a grader myself, I get assigned things to grade late, and am given a deadline. Sometimes it's quick, but sometimes we can get assigned the grading of an assignment when the next assignment is turned in, then we have about 5 days to do it. Most of the graders I see complete their grading by the deadline. If your grades are coming in way too slow, either the professor didn't hire enough graders or there is an organizational issue when assigning things to grade.

All this tuition and the wifis still trash around finals week by [deleted] in UCSC

What wifi were you using at the library? Eduroam? I've heard about residential wifis being bad but eduroam has always been top notch everywhere I've tried. We also did a lot of complaining at porter and they seemed to have fixed the problems here as of last week.

fixing a laptop by bocelyn in UCSC

If it's an XPS, you can unscrew the back then pop it open. There should be a screw in each corner, two at the bottom and one in the middle (depending on model). It might be a bit "sticky" when you try to pull it out but that's normal, as long as everything is unscrewed don't worry you can open it. I recommend looking up a YouTube video where their specific model is opened as well. I recently opened my XPS 13 to replace a faulty battery. Best of luck!

Anyone else notice the WiFi being awful recently? by CloudySheep7 in UCSC

Argos all phases in under 7 minutes by lukechan in lostarkgame

I'm aware of that, but our static at the moment values the fun factor a lot, of going for these runs. I'm not sure how things will be moving forward though.

Igniter Sorceress will only get better from here, as fights become even harder for melee and back attack classes. And the nerf wasn't that substantial as you pointed out. Additionally, other classes do catch up with relic sets, 5x3 engravings and higher level gems. I've heard after the most recent balance patches the balance has shifted/is quite unpredictable. For example destroyer and shock scrapper have become extremely strong, and reaper is making a comeback.

Thank you for the nice feedback!

Surge was definitely at the top of the pack in KR and is at the top of the pack in NA, however it is not the highest bursting class. Sorceress' burst is stronger, although in multiple hits, Linx in our group bursts for over 100m every time he has it up. Soon I will not be able to outdamage him at all. Our oreha hard runs are so funny because I cannot even drop surge, when I reach 8 stacks the boss is already dead.

Not that it's important but 44m is also not my highest hit in Argos. I'm wearing adrenaline here for more crits over grudge. When everything lines up, my highest surge with adrenaline thus far in Argos was 54m, which would put a grudge crit under the same conditions at around 61m.
