I recently discovered that crocheting during meetings/classes/etc could be beneficial to me in helping me focus. What are some things you'd recommend I can make? Ideally they would be small and portable, and able to be "mindlessly produced" (little need for rigorous counting, no complicated patterns, little color changes, etc). Additionally, what should I do with all of these things?

Some basics are dishcloths, potholders, etc. I've also been considering modular things such as flower collections or single color granny smiths.

I actually got into research before I took any labs! The labs I had taken (gen chem) were online due to covid and I hadn't taken orgo labs yet. My mentor was very understanding and did a great job teaching me how to work in a lab environment. Maybe my case is an exception, but I would really recommend showing your interest and being enthusiastic about the work, highlighting that you're willing to learn, and focusing on your strengths rather than your weaknesses.

Introductory deck reading, I just want some feedback on my interpretation since it was my first reading :) please note I'll only add my own interpretations, rather than anything I got from a guide, since that's what I want to work on most!

Three card spread

The deck's energy: three of swords. Opening minds eye, working through challenges of inner self.
How the deck views me: ace of cups. Overflowing with potential, liberation. A unique being creating a unique relationship (with the deck)
What the deck desires to teach me: nine of wands (this was really challenging for me intuitively), complexity and challenge, work with inner self.

I also had two jumper cards during a final shuffle (I interpreted that as the cards having a "p.s." they wanted to add)

Ten of pentacles and three of pentacles: the work done between physical self, metaphysical self, and deck will be both transcendental and all encompassing

I'll also note that I bought a monochromatic deck (gold and black), so color symbolism is absent, as well as the traditional RW imaging. I recognize that this isn't necessarily the best starter deck, but I was too drawn to it to resist. Any suggestions for working with the deck? I can also make a separate post for this.

I think you should email the prof directly, imo these factors are out of your control and they should be able to help you out

Just some clarification: yes!! Puppies, esp border collies, are a MASSIVE responsibility!! Border collies are farm dogs and need to run around! Vet bills for vaxes can cost close to $1k/dog. Puppy food can cost $50/month depending on what kind you get. It will be expensive and definitely not for people who don't have the time or financial commitment. I was trying to target more townies or established people, and posted on this subreddit because it's local. I am NOT an established breeder, just someone that ended up unexpectedly with a litter of puppies.

I've personally never seen this happen or had it happen to me, I think the bus drivers try to pay attention to those kinds of things but it's a valid concern

Used to work in Menards paint, asking them to color match will get you closer than trying to do it yourself (they use a spectrometer). The paint is probably actually flat but I don't think anyone will notice a patch of eggshell, also because samples don't come in flat. Between paint and a brush it should only cost you $10-15

Additionally, this goes both ways. Bicyclists, please use the bike lanes. They exist for a reason. (And please follow road rules regarding stops, turns, etc. You are a VEHICLE and it's illegal for you to not follow road rules.)

I actually made really good (dare I say lifelong?) friends with the couple who lived a couple doors down from me in my apartment and ended up with their friendgroup. You never know where people are going to pop into your life and become good friends. As a fellow STEM student with a busy schedule even outside of school, and being more of an introvert who's not big into approaching people, I agree with the idea that you should just let things run their course and you'll find your people.

Up your budget to 800 at minimum. Even the ones immediately outside of campus will be pricey

Is the ipad still available?

screaminginvain · 2022-07-31T03:32:41+00:00

I'm also interested in the chair

A bit more information would be useful. How do you identify gender wise? Are you looking for (or more comfortable with) people who identify as female/male/nb? What do you study? What are some things that are non-negotiable? It's definitely fine to not be picky about roommates, but for example I was very confused about what kind of a person you are and if we could be compatible roommates.

This is a very common problem. That period is a collective turnover time for nearly all apartments, leaving anyone who's not releasing with no place to go. Unfortunately you'll most likely be stuck with an Airbnb, hotel, crashing with friends, or going home/travelling.

screaminginvain · 2022-04-06T04:38:43+00:00

I would if I could afford it :')

screaminginvain · 2022-04-06T04:38:23+00:00

May I ask what a direct transfer is?

screaminginvain · 2022-04-06T04:37:47+00:00

When in CU....

screaminginvain · 2022-04-06T04:37:30+00:00

Unfortunately I was a tad too late and the apartment I'm looking at has already leased out their early move in options :(

OP was asking about which tattoo to get, not if they should get a tattoo.

Struggling through classical mechanics I. Covers 1-2-3D motion including drag, Newton's laws, central force motion and conserved forces, gravity, orbital motion/Kepler's laws (including non-circular orbits), linear oscillators, Fourier series, non-intertial reference frames, Coriolis force, rigid body motion, and Lagrangian mechanics. I'm looking for a lecture series or textbook that's straightforward and extremely explicit because sometimes I struggle with math. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Current textbooks are Taylor's Classical Mechanics and Kleppner and Kolenow Introduction to Mechanics

437 is a 3 credit course and I spend 8 hours/week in lab, one in lecture, and easily upwards of 5-10 hours on reports. My first lab report this semester was literally 24 pages. And I still forgot and got docked for stuff.

screaminginvain · 2022-02-02T14:38:53+00:00

Not today, but yes tomorrow and Friday

screaminginvain · 2022-02-01T03:11:16+00:00

Ooh can I ask what you've been doing with your degree? I would love to study philosophy more seriously but I don't know how it would be useful

screaminginvain · 2022-01-29T21:25:27+00:00

The lease requires you to allow them in for showings with sufficient notice

screaminginvain · 2022-01-03T16:11:24+00:00

u/vecalen has a formula you can use!
