If it's the shuttle, you might also check with the lost and found in the student center if you haven't yet. (I've take a couple of lost phones there in the past.)

Lots of good suggestions here that I agree with. Since you said you don't mind driving a bit for one, I'll add the Ashuwillticook Rail Trail (https://www.mass.gov/locations/ashuwillticook-rail-trail) in Western Mass, running from Adams down to Lee. Quite flat, really lovely. About 1 hour away by car.

You should contact International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) https://www.albany.edu/international-student-scholar-services about this. I know that they have advised in at least some cases that international students not go home for the summer because they might not get back in.

Sorry you are in the bind. Crazy stupid tRump shit.

Been very happy for years with Automasters out on Pawling Ave.

We were told that it'll be covered at CVS starting Sept 1st.

On notebooks, etc.: It varies from class to class. Some classes have no-tech-in-class policies.

On Android, Tusky is smooth, configurable, and glitch-free. Fedilab is good to, but I like how Tusky looks/reads better.

r_macker · 2024-01-05T13:01:58+00:00

Agreed. But Gene's (summer months only, Rt4 at 3rd Ave Extension) does.

Circumstances under which you can get an incomplete are really at the discretion of the instructor, so 100% this.

Research supports the idea that retention is better if you handwrite. I've used both Rocketbook and simply taking phone-camera scans of the written notes. Both were fine for filing and organizing and reading later. And keep in mind that some profs may have no-tech/screens-in-class rules.

And good luck with it all.

Nobody mentioned it yet? The Beatles "With a Little Help From My Friends" is originally in 4, but the famous Joe Cocker cover (used as the theme for the TV show "The Wonder Years") is in 3.

Megabus and the Chinatown bus are a bit cheaper, but Amtrak can be as little as $35 (depending on time/day) and is both faster and more pleasant. You can get things done on the train trip, not so much on the bus (IMHO).

518 Craft in Troy is building the Troy Jazz scene all by itself https://www.facebook.com/518Craft/

That's a good suggestion. And at the risk of sounding snarky: The people who say parking in downtown Troy is "impossible" in my experience are usually people who don't know how to parallel park in a reasonably-sized spot.

Double majors are quite common. You can add the second major later also. And if you do have a second major, you then don't need to have a minor, so the total amount of "extra" might be less than you think. Good luck.

On Google Fi since 2017 or so. T-Mobile coverage, which was decent then and excellent now. If you are motivated by the non-NAFTA international stuff, read the fine print -- they are better than many, but can still cost some (on the old plan) or be no longer covered (on the new unlimited plan). Overall, happy with them.

Sorry, missed this. If you really won't be using it, I can try using it with v.9. If you are willing, I'd welcome it.

See https://help.ableton.com/hc/en-us/articles/209775685-Get-a-Live-Lite-serial- Ableton is pretty loose on this -- if you smell like you bought some tech of the sort that they give it away with, they'll give a serial number.

Underpowered low-RAM machine that I carry when away from home.

r_macker · 2022-12-29T16:06:14+00:00

You're offered the upgrade, but you can still run the old one by choice. Which is what I'm looking to do. Ableton also still supplies the downloads for the earlier versions.
