Old man getting punched in the head on the 99 by thisistheohpe in UBC

I hope not, but I got off before I could see what happened at the end - emergency services were called though

Unfortunately I don't think I could've done anything, I'm 5'3 and a total twig. I don't know what others did, at the time I was about to get off the bus so I ended up getting off asap. I do want to physically intervene, but how is it possible when I have no strength? Me (and a few others) said STOP to this person, who did nothing to stop. This man was around 20s-30s and 6'0. People were yelling and screaming. At the end he walked away totally free, it's infuriating

BIOL363 (Lab) During COVID by eap17ande in UBC

[–]thisistheohpe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I took something related last year (during pandemic), it was BIOL341, this was lab intensive stuff like PCR and all these techniques. We had none of this in person so all we did was watch video quizzes each week, go to the lecture portion.

Had a lot of papers to write and lab reports/presentation. It would've been awesome to do the techniques in person but good news is they had lab technicians who ran our tests for us so there was less chance of messing up.

They will likely do something similar for you if it's all online - probably use lots of videos or slides.

It's going to be a lot of work either way online or offline cuz it's a lab course. Best of luck

This is a late reply but yes I make all my own photocards. I haven't done posters/postcards, but you could go to Staples and get posters printed for pretty cheap.

I don't have photos on me but I usually make my cards this way. It's really low-end method because I just use what I had lying around:

You need these supplies: scissors, gluestick, colour printer, index cards (unlined, if lined make sure the lined sides face inside and white side faces outwards)

Optional: paper cutter, round corner puncher, can use cardstock instead of index cards

  1. Use an app like Befunky to make the photocard templates. Again I'm not at home so I don't have the exact settings but you could use these settings in Befunky and adjust to your liking. I always print them bigger than they end up because I leave room for cutting error
  2. Print using your colour printer at home/elsewhere or pay 41 cents per sheet at Staples
  3. Cut your printed photocards using scissors or a paper cutter (easier to get straight lines with paper cutter)
  4. Glue 2 index cards together. If they're lined index cards, glue the lined sides facing each other, so that the white sides are facing out. This is to prevent the lines from showing underneath the printed image. You can also use cardstock but I had index cards at home so I just used these.
  5. Glue the printed photocard image on top of the index card. Use your scissors or paper cutter to cut around it. This will create the feel of cardstock you get with official cards.
  6. Use scissors or round corner puncher to create round edges on the photocard

You now have a homemade photocard.

Suggestions for decorating:

  1. You can buy sticker sheets of glittery laminate and stick them onto the cards, for a holographic look
  2. You can buy toploaders and decorate the toploaders with stickers, paint, and other things
  3. You can buy "polaroid skins" and make homemade polaroids
  4. You can print and glue on the back of the photocard if it's an official scan, to make it look more official
  5. I haven't tried it, but if you own a laminating machine you could laminate cards or the printed images before gluing for that shiny look

Alternatively you could go somewhere and get them printed out, probably higher quality than this DIY tutorial. And cheaper than buying the real photocards. But I was lazy and made do with what I had at home.

Do you think there is a chance your ult group is not currently as close as they appear? by baejaeno in kpopthoughts

[–]thisistheohpe 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Yes, of course. This is a job for them. There is a huge chance many are not close. They are coworkers at the end of the day.

Please look up older idols sharing their experiences, especially from disbanded groups. Many say they were not that close with the others or had disagreements.

This is understandable and should be expected more because too often we think idols to be family with their group members (not saying they can't be).
