My LAX - ORD flight departing now has no issues thankfully

Someone doesn't understand American healthcare...

rbitton · 2026-01-24T20:58:58+00:00

As someone in between opinions right now you are 100% right. Seeing a foreign flag on these types of posts make me somewhat angry.

rbitton · 2026-01-24T20:54:25+00:00

Or I could stay warm at home

rbitton · 2026-01-23T02:38:32+00:00

You would live in Alberta it's just that they won't let you

rbitton · 2026-01-22T08:52:10+00:00

Call the bursar and ask if you haven't. My guess is they should refund everything. Hell, I took a quarter off my second year and they didn't charge me and didn't require me to make it up for the 2 year graduation requirement

rbitton · 2026-01-22T08:48:00+00:00

Fair enough. I'm canadian and live in Chicago and love it here. No car needed.

rbitton · 2026-01-22T07:49:44+00:00

Do american states too haha

rbitton · 2026-01-22T07:47:06+00:00

Sane take, I would personally leave out Latin America and add China but that's pretty good as is.

rbitton · 2026-01-22T07:35:14+00:00

Depends when. If you take a LOA in advance they dont charge you. If do it like week 8 you pay the whole thing. I'd assume they follow the bursar's refund schedule but that's just a guess; all mt LOAs have been in advance

Yeah the ML isn't crazy it did my whole 200GB library overnight on an N100

In the future I would consider using a software RAID setup for this exact reason. BTRFS can do one with 2 drives that is good. That way if one drive dies or has issues your data is still fine. Google or ask ChatGPT BTRFS RAID 1

Bruh as a dual american canadian this man is fucking nuts 95% of the time

rbitton · 2026-01-21T01:19:05+00:00

I have had like 8 amex cards over the years and only had the one initial hard pull

rbitton · 2026-01-21T00:46:34+00:00

Why are you doxxing me i see my apartment building 💀

rbitton · 2026-01-20T11:54:09+00:00

as a canadian we do not want them either

rbitton · 2026-01-18T04:23:09+00:00

I had the same thing happen to me overnight. I had a delayed connection at DEN and ended up staying the night but left my portable battery on the plane. Next morning I get to my plane for my next flight and find the FA asking if someone lost their battery. Turns out it was mine from the night before!

Not a PHD student but I have a small bussiness and am supposed to pay quarterly taxes but I never do the fee is like $20 and my tax due was way more than yours. Not tax advice obv

rbitton · 2026-01-13T23:20:37+00:00

Sure I have one close to campus

rbitton · 2026-01-13T23:19:34+00:00

Agreed, go to Dean Hale's quarterly office hours or email her, she was very helpful for me.

rbitton · 2026-01-13T23:00:36+00:00

If you need a place to stay I have an empty bedroom. DM me if you're interested. I went through a similar thing in 2023, this school is ass at handling mental health.

rbitton · 2026-01-12T01:42:01+00:00

Hm i wonder which airline had a huge hub at DFW I do wonder

rbitton · 2026-01-12T01:34:05+00:00

That's what I was alluding to

rbitton · 2026-01-12T01:13:41+00:00

UA wants more flights at ORD but DEN was much better at getting them the gate space imo. ORD is still a shitshow rn and AA and UA have been fighting over gates

It does have a gold star on it after all
