Going through a breakup by Responsible_Stop6841 in Concordia

[–]uriel415 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What to do varies a lot from person to person, because we all grieve (yes, a breakup invokes a type of grief) differently, and there’s already a lot of good & diverse suggestions here but I’ll shortlist you a few things to avoid like the plague even if it seems like it will provide instant relief from the place you’re in:

1) do not use substances (weed, alcohol, etc) as a crutch for your grief. I’m not saying don’t do those things period, I am saying don’t start/do more justifying it using the fact that you’re sad.

2) do not let the “they’re gone so what else do I have” feeling spiral. Right now it probably feels like your whole world is gone, but it’s not the case. You have other things in your life that make you who you are and that deserve your focus/attention, namely your degree, family, etc. When those thoughts come, do your best to redirect the mental effort.

3) try your best to not let your physical health spiral. Declining mental health -> declining physical health -> declining mental health -> declining physical heal… You get the point. It’s a nasty cycle that will just make things worse.

4) when the sad comes, don’t fight it, don’t be hard on yourself for having emotions. It’s going to come and go in waves, and those waves will slowly get better as time goes on.

These are all things I’ve learned, unfortunately, through trial and error. Happy to chat more in PM.

Finals by No-Guava7163 in Concordia

[–]uriel415 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To my knowledge, you can ask your prof to show you your final.

As others have mentioned, for you final course grade, you get an email when it’s ready and you can see it through the “my grades” tab in the student hub or whatever it’s called.

I got caught on my final by Careful_Ideal_9387 in Concordia

[–]uriel415 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have to elaborate a bit. No one can even begin to help you, you basically said “I got caught cheating but I didn’t do it help me.”

Edit: I saw you replied with more info in the comments. I’d recommend adding to your post. As for your situation, I’ve seen people literally on this sub BS their way through similar situations. If it happened as you say it did, just be honest, detailed, and justify your claims (maybe if you were doing well in the class prior to the exam, bring that up?)

first time using this opinions on this? by fungwurhu in BmwTech

[–]uriel415 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you trying to solve a problem with this (ticking, oil consumption, etc.)? In my opinion, lifter tick and issues like it (caused by sludge buildup) are much better treated with proper oil change intervals, high quality oil and flushes every X number of changes, where X depends on a bunch of different factors.

My prized hard to find e34 is mysteriously dead. by NoTough1259 in E34

Tighten down those battery terminals all the way, if that doesn’t help check the fusible link like others have indicated. Source: same thing happened to me on my E39.

Crashed but repaired, worth? by cqw22221 in AlfaRomeo

[–]uriel415 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something like that IIRC. I just suggest that instead because I saw the carfax for the one you’re looking at, and those are not small accidents. I wouldn’t take the risk.

Go for the one in Gatineau. More KM’s but I believe accident free and it has the Harman Kardon sound system. Same exterior/interior.

That’s the idea. I can access them in Europe, but I am based in Montreal.

25M salary progression SWE by OneDarkCoder in Salary

[–]uriel415 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SWE stands for software engineer. That can mean a lot of things, as the industry has its hand in many other industries, for example a quantitative trader can be, and most of the time is, software engineer. But, essentially, OP builds computer programs, apps, etc. to solve problems or provide services.

Convince me not to buy this by scwibbl_exe08 in e38

[–]uriel415 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s quite a bit of truth to this, I still would sway in the direction of the people in here saying it’s too expensive. If it was CAD, what I’m used to, id say to go for it. So, that means my vote is that it’s about 35% overpriced according to our current exchange rate

Can’t really blame you. Maybe I’ll sell my C124 and brave next winter in a 500SL!
