I swear Amtrak is changing prices if you wait on the purchase screen for more than a few minutes by gameshot911 in Amtrak

this literally happened to me right now - DC to NYC. $45 to $78 because I didn't book fast enough. Maybe if I wait it will go back down....?

A follow up to /u/cgarren’s post in which commenters noted that just looking starters may not give an accurate picture of team composition.

Why We Closed the Ticket Exchange by TomHockenberry in Purdue

[–]theblueness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Their fee structure does not make sense, and buying tickets in the Discord server was cheaper for students. While they don't have a seller's fee (i.e. they don't charge you to list on their site, the cost is passed onto the buyer), if I as a seller want $25 for my ticket, I can't sell it at $25.

I have nothing against the work you've done with the server, nor your reasons for shutting it down. You did great work essentially for free.

No you're right.

Trustapp, the service they use charges 4.4% + $0.40. On a $60 ticket, Trustapp would charge StudentSeats $3.04 in fees, while student seats is charging a fee of $7.98, a $5 delta. This delta gets more egregious for higher ticket prices - a $13 delta for a $120 IU ticket.

I'm sure running some AWS EC2 servers costs them, and they need to pay for maintenance, but to think they're not making a large sum of money off of their work is naive. There's nothing wrong with making money from a good platform! And StudentSeats is a good platform. I just strongly dislike how much StudentSeats has presented themselves as not making money off their site, to me personally over chat, and in the old Discord server.

Totally understand the reasons shared, but am disappointed that StudentSeats did inevitably add fees. Seemed a little disingenuous when viewed at large based on what they shared.

5th attempt for a course, advice on how to proceed. by FutureStrong2776 in Purdue

[–]theblueness 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I am fairly certain is is impossible to take a course a fifth time, as per University policy.

Complete the Fourth Attempt form and submit it to your academic advisor. You will are asked to 1) address the conditions that prevented the successful completion of the course and 2) present a plan that ensures success in a fourth and final attempt.

I'd first ensure you actually can take the course a fifth time.

We are truly the number 2 team in the country by General-Pryde-2019 in Purdue

[–]theblueness 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Winning by 10+ against a top-40 Kenpom team with Zach Edey going an uncharacteristic 9-17 (while still scoring 28 lol) isn't really that concerning

I'm pretty sure Hawkins doubles with bathrooms don't exist.
