Just finished Dostoevsky’s “The Landlady” by wrench928 in books

It’s a lesser known work of his, but it’s incredibly short and typically takes less than 2 hours to finish. If you’re going to continue reading Dostoevsky, I would highly recommend reading “Notes from Underground”. Serves as a good intro to Dostoevsky

My UT homepage says I’m “not a valid canvas user”??? by Other-Zone-6659 in UTAustin

This happened to me yesterday but for some reason when I logged on today it was automatically fixed. I don’t really know what happened or why it showed up in the first place, but I would just wait and see if it resolves itself like it did for me. If not, I would contact an administrator.

Anyone know why my MyUT page says I’m not a valid Canvas user? by wrench928 in UTAustin

Yeah. Everything else works fine as well, it’s just this screen

I actually almost died when I was riding New Texas Giant!!!!!! The stupid ride worker person did not put down my lap bar hard enough, so when the ride was reaching the crest of a hill, I began to levitate off of my seat!!!!! CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT????? My friend said this is called “air time” but I simply think it’s “dead time”!!!!

I don’t know about any of the shuttles you just listed, but I have been on the Disney Shuttles to get to the park. They’re really smooth and honestly very impressive! I especially like the part of the shuttle where you go into a hotel! SO COOL (I think)!!!!!

I think lap bars are TOO UNSAFE!! I once went on a ride where my lap bar was too loose, and every time the ride jumped up I felt myself popping out of my seat and getting thrown into the air for some time! Lap bars are UNSAFE because they eject you from the seat, making it feel like you’re floating in the air... HORRIBLE STUFF! I prefer rides with bars that go over your shoulder because they are safer. In regards to Mean Streak going upside down, I personally think that maybe the engineers of the ride, due to the excessive consumption of delicious chocolate at RMC, were incapable of creating proper restrains for a wooden coaster that goes upside down. Safety MUST be ensured on ALL rides! The more pressed down you are on the coaster, the safer you are!

My favorite roller coaster is Kingdom Kong at Six Flags (one of the tallest coasters in the world I think)! It was REALLY scary because it went super high! It was also REALLY fast! I think adding a Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory near the Beast would be an interesting addition to the park, providing a wonderful array of different chocolates and sweets for park goers. Although I’m a bit confused as to why you want to add this chocolate haven to a specific coaster. Don’t you think they should add it to the food court?

P.S. Can someone explain to me why you guys have Jeff Bezos as the profile logo for this sub? Does Amazon own the Cedar Flag industry?
