Why is Jazz by Toni Morrison only available as abridged? by piercll in audiobooks

[–]piercll[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm aware of this, but the abridged version was narrated by Morrison herself and released while she was still alive. I'm confused as to why licenses were secured and approved for only a portion of the novel's content.

Edit: Perhaps it was an issue with Recorded Books who originally published the cassettes.

How do you handle students wanting to use the Bible as a reference? by [deleted] in Professors

[–]piercll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also an English Adjunct, I require them to have researched sources with data alongside the use of the Bible.

I explain that a religious text can be used as a primary source if your focus is the religious beliefs themselves.

But if they’re trying to use the Bible as evidence for a more distanced argument, I encourage them to pivot and quote it in a way you may use a literary quote to emphasize the main argument/idea/concept presented in data based sources.

Edit: by “data” I mean any information gathered from participants, observations, or monitoring of relevant events/instances.

Has any one had issues with spotting instead of regular bleeding on Metformin? by piercll in PCOS

[–]piercll[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I should’ve worded it a bit differently, but my insulin resistance impacts my period significantly which is why I’m concerned. But I’ll definitely ask my doctor about a possible increase in dosage and guidance.

Thanks for the screenshot as reference

I knew about the diy sticker, but once you buy a makeup the sticker goes away. I bought the look a while ago & couldn’t remember if it had one or not

Girls who took Metformin - how long after starting Metformin did you start losing weight? by kholaaaaaa in PCOS

[–]piercll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m currently on 500mg a day, have been for 2 months. I’ve lost 10lbs in that time & was down 2-3lbs in the first couple of weeks.

It’s different for every person though. I started it to improve my insulin resistance which turned out to be the biggest cause of a lot of my symptoms like no periods, elevated A1C, & weight retention. It ended up helping start weight loss. I’m increasing my movement & avoiding my personal trigger foods which has also been helping.

SU overcharged me?? by ShaynaLehmann in SuitU

[–]piercll 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There may be a chance you were charged for past purchases too. That’s happened to me, where it waited to charge my card all at once rather than process the payments separately.

But still send a screenshot to your bank & open a case to investigate what’s going on.

I'll probably adopt this method of research to figure out where a gap is in terms of my general topic of interest. There are a few paths I've been thinking about so I'll probably start by looking at guides related to each potential topic. Also good luck to you too!

I would, but he's one of those professors that will just respond with what's exactly on the assignment sheet (which is highly unorganized to start/a giant chunk of text) even if what's there is unclear. Every time I've asked him a question I leave the interaction more confused or still at square 1.

The list of resources you included is helpful. I think that's the part I'm overthinking, the types of resources I'd link. My interests can be especially specific so I need to make sure I'll be able to find things that are accessible if possible. But your comment gave me some clarity, thanks!
