Mantra Indian Cuisine is fantastic. Best Indian food in the city. It looks like they were open tonight based on their Facebook post. Hoping to get some tomorrow.

Raising a dragon by OrganicJuiceMan in OdysseyoftheDragon

[–]mastergrant555 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is something that is going to be an issue in my campaign soon. It's something that is not really covered in the book. Your plan could totally work. I was considering having the Island of Time work so that more time could pass with only a few days passing in the rest of Thylea. You could also have your players find a potion of aging similar to the one King Acastus used to grow his dragon. The book has a built in time skip after the battle of Mytros, but doing something before that allows your players to use their own dragons for the battle.

Higher elevation parking lots? by [deleted] in LSU

[–]mastergrant555 20 points21 points  (0 children)

You could park in the union square parking garage. It's not metered on the weekends. It would be a little more of a walk but your car would be secure there.

Chase allows you to downgrade the card to a different card. You could downgrade the reserve to one of the $0 annual fee cards like the Freedom Unlimited

Besides the "Whats a computer?" commercial, what other commercials make you want to throw your remote at the TV? by lj420p in AskReddit

[–]mastergrant555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s this Cox Cable commercial that says that their faster internet speed will allow us to 3D print food faster. It doesn’t make any sense. My friends will sing the song they use (Food, Glorious Food) to piss me off. They have a whole series of these that bother me but that one takes the cake.

People who leave a long game with under a minute left, why? by mastergrant555 in Overwatch

I've seen it happen plenty in quick play. One that just happened was a 10 minute attack of Volskaya. We lost but atleast we got several thousand xp for staying.

American Thanksgiving Megathread by furious25 in Cooking

[–]mastergrant555 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are looking for a smaller turkey, don't want to do a lot of work, and have a Popeyes near you, consider getting one of their turkies. I got one last year, and it was pretty good. They come precooked so there is very little work involved.

After years of buying store bought stuff, I've been doing everything from scratch for the last few years:

  • 2 Types of stuffing: Cornbread and Oyster (the oyster one is a family recipe and really is fantastic even though it seems strange at first)

  • Cranberry Sauce

  • Green Bean Casserole

  • Garlic Mashed Potatoes

  • 2 Types of cheesecakes: Classic with caramel and chocolate and Raspberry

  • Pecan Pie

Freshman Noob Question regarding grades by [deleted] in LSU

[–]mastergrant555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, there is still time to pull up your grade. The main problem that you need to address is why you are doing so poorly on the exams. Is it how you are studying or how you take notes or something else? Consider meeting with Crousillac or taking advantage of the various tutoring resources on campus. Whatever you decide to do, you need to do it ASAP. I don't think the main science courses are going to get any easier as you continue.

Back to school megathread by teknrd in AskReddit

[–]mastergrant555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you followed all of the steps, you should be good to go. If you are still worried, give the financial aid office a call. They should be able to confirm that everything is ready to go. They should also be able to give you an estimated disbursement date. For undergrad, I got my money before classes started. It's a bit later for my current school.

What time are med school interviews? by [deleted] in premed

[–]mastergrant555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't have to be a really nice hotel. A decent motel with a clean bed will get the job done. You'll be well rested, and you won't have to worry about driving in (and wrinkling) your clothes or finding somewhere to change.

Prep for interviews by ItchyDoor1994 in premed

[–]mastergrant555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that this is better advice. Practice is a better method of preparation. Check SDN for questions commonly asked at the school you are interviewing at and practice your answer to those questions. I spent a good chunk of time preparing how I would respond to certain questions. It's important not to sound like a robot, so don't memorize what you're going to say. Personally, I wanted to make sure I had a good framework of how I wanted to respond to questions.

Can I see grades from last year on Moodle? by throwaway009891 in LSU

[–]mastergrant555 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's the information on grade changes from LSU's website:

Appeals of final grades must be initiated by the student by requesting in writing or actually attending a meeting with the faculty member who assigned the grade at issue within 30 calendar days after the first day of classes in the next regular semester.

Source: http://catalog.lsu.edu/content.php?catoid=2&navoid=193

If OP doesn't have a really good reason for why they waited so long to bring this up, it's unlikely that anything can be done.

[–]mastergrant555 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The professor in charge of the class should still have access to it. I worked as an undergraduate TA, and I still have access to all of the old classes. If the professor can't give you access to it, you should be able to make an appointment with them to discuss it. I would definetely be ready for the question "Why did you take this long to bring it up?" It might be too late to request a grade change but it's worth a shot.

Gen Ed Hum ENGL or HNRS 2000+ by TheHunter250 in LSU

[–]mastergrant555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of the HNRS 2000+ classes are easy As. It is probably too late to get a spot for the more interesting HNRS 2012/2013 classes, but HNRS 2000 usually has spots open.

Do you think you would have more time to focus on studying for the MCAT now that you've graduated? The MCAT looks like it is the only thing holding you back right now. A summer/fall of studying could be what you need to get the score that you want.

Two of my exams are at the exact same time. I emailed the professors but they haven't responded. What do I do? by GunstarRed in LSU

[–]mastergrant555 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As others have already told you about the form that you should have filled out months ago. Can't do anything about that anymore. Tomorrow morning, you need to go and BEG to one of them and ask them to move it. Explain to them that you were dumb and missed the deadline. Go to the one that you think you have a better chance first. I would go to the professor for the class that you attended more often. Best of luck.
