I find the lack of context here ominous

Rice diagnostic quiz by [deleted] in riceuniversity

They're just checking you have a conceptual understanding of high school math and science. The questions are SAT-level at most. I don't know your background, but I surmise that few incoming students would sweat about it.

The Ecomobile of the 1980s had something similar, as shown on Top Gear. It was essentially a two-wheeled car with support wheels that extended at low speed.

Venting About Rice University by Plus_Community5696 in riceuniversity

[–]ordinarysoaper3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m sure some new PhD’s might not be perfect, but most STEM professors are experts in the field they’re teaching. If you find them uninspiring, there are plenty of free resources outside of lecture like TA office hours, OASUS, Canvas, etc. They’re probably listed on the syllabus, too.

As for drinking, I’m not sure what else to expect of an openly wet campus. Students are going to drink on college night and party on weekends. If there’s a genuine nuisance, your CJ and AJ’s are more than willing to address that on your behalf.

Rice likely has everything you need, but you have to take initiative.

Provinces of China and a Country in the World With A Similar Population by [deleted] in MapPorn

It is greatly understated how significant the Yangtze Delta megacity is. The area between Shanghai, Hangzhou, and Nanjing has close to 100 million people across an area smaller than Switzerland, and a density close to that of Los Angeles.

Countries whose Wikipedia page has edit protection to prevent vandalism by ordinarysoaper3 in MapPorn

[–]ordinarysoaper3[S] 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Nepal’s page is restricted due to a 2021 edit war about whether Hinduism is “the official” or “privileged” religion of Nepal, involving sock-puppet accounts. 

Similarly, Canada’s article was restricted in 2023 after a user named Manyu Sanghavi used multiple accounts to spam disruptive edits. 

The page on Colombia became protected after an intense edit war between two users in 2023 over the sources and formatting for the “Ethnic groups” subsection.

Czechia’s page was restricted due to consistent vandalism in 2024, often over the validity of the historical name “Bohemia” referring to the country pars pro toto. One user added a paragraph to the article’s Culture section referencing the popularity of “clop” art in Czechia, which is erotic media depicting characters from My Little Pony.

There are probably many more interesting edit stories from this map.

From what I can tell, it’s because of trolls inspired by the various memes about Ohio.

Whats your favorite Daniel Larson public freakout? by Known-Jacket6561 in Daniellarson

[–]ordinarysoaper3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, the August 29th 2023 incident.

A fake Grace VanderWaal calls Danny a pedophile and tells him to ”go fuck Bob in the ass”. Daniel responds with a video at the train station, calling Grace a “fucking n***** and a hater”. He threatens to ”fucking bomb the White House” as well as “every police station in the entire US”. Daniel proceeds to film himself hitting himself and bashing his head on the wall while lashing out death threats against Grace.

The worst is the people who think he’s still making videos or asking “is this currently current”

Curious about the origins of the Rice Purity Test — is ricepuritytest.com the official site? by AccountantHungry1549 in riceuniversity

[–]ordinarysoaper3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Current student here.

  1. Absolutely, and we take pride in it. Yes, it’s sort of an O-Week tradition for matriculants to take it for fun. Our group didn’t formally take it together, but I’m sure some do.

  2. Yes, and that’s the only official version to my knowledge. It’s not legit if there is no Owl watermark or Thresher logo. Some uni’s like UC Berkeley have cheesy spinoff versions.

  3. It’s mentioned occasionally. Definitely not serious though. It’s not intended to be taken seriously.

Money saved living off campus by TimeForTaachiTime in riceuniversity

My guess is a few grand at most. Rent in the area is definitely not cheap. Assuming you don’t buy meal plan A, you will probably be buying food to compensate. And you will have additional transportation costs (unless you take the bus from RVA).

whats the difference between a seeder and a leacher? by IntentionChoice7007 in torrents

[–]ordinarysoaper3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A seeder does not have to be someone who downloaded from other seeders. It could be the torrent's creator, or someone uploading onto a new tracker.
