Random talk thread: It just keeps happening

[Flannel Boy]

In elementary school, I remember getting some bad grades for "working with others," but that was usually only when I was being severely bullied. So, yeah, I didn't work well with my bullies.

Also, just to be clear, I'm not antisocial.

Why do you live there?

A question that every Winnipegger asks themselves annually.

Is there any danger in smoking a joint rolled with toilet paper and Nutella?

Since I took the GMAT, I've been getting tons of emails from 2nd and 3rd tier business schools, and probably some 4th-tier ones as well. I didn't know an online MBA was actually a thing. Can't imagine it would be that great, since a big part of the MBA experience is working in teams.

Online MBAs are known to be garbage.  In the future, I can see some legitimate schools providing them but for now, avoid.

Since I took the GRE I keep getting emails for the School of Journalism in Rochester.

I stopped at the sports ground near my place on the way back from a walk to do some pullups. A bunch of 8th graders and their baseball coaches (I guess) were mucking about on the bars, doing rolls and stuff. I squeezed my way onto the bar and started on the pullups. After 3 or 4, every last one of the little buggers started chanting out the reps in Japanese and English. By the end they were all screaming and laughing. It was awesome and I had to grind the last one out but just made it. I felt like Rocky Made my day

Oh come on, there was nothing remotely offensive/embarrassing/compromising in that post, pre-edit.  I really don't understand the self-censorship there, dude.

blah blah you only applied to one law school outside of Ontario blah blah all Canadian law schools pretty much have the same average LSAT score whether it be Winnipeg, Queens, Western ( ) or McGill. 

Did I miss anything?

[Madrun Badrun]

You missed the point

[Boogie]

right.  how silly of me

[CajoleJuice]

boogie is pretty insufferable when it comes to anything college/university related

[Madrun Badrun]

That's because he is trying to relive the good old times of beating down uni students at G20 and is obviously frustrated that the online experience isn't as fulfilling.

[Dickie Dee]

MyFuckingGrandpa/Chipopopop went to Dalhousie law didn't he?

bullshit, I haven't mentioned anything about uni credentials in at least a full two years.

I also missed all the excitement for the G20.   Other than the BS mental health cases up in the Huntsville area....but I missed all the excitement down in TO

[Barry Egan]

MyFuckingGrandpa/Chipopopop went to Dalhousie law didn't he?

I went to undergrad at Dal, philosophy and English.

[Dickie Dee]

ahh - I just remember because I took Engineering at Dal

The roads where I live have been a solid sheet of ice since yesterday. 

I have to go to work this morning and I just know that there are going to be some idiots out to sell me their scratched up PS2 games and demand "good money" for them.

I wouldn't be upset if one or two of them wrecked on the way.   

[Don Flamenco]

so you have missed the first month of this term?

I just skipped the last week of classes.  And slept though all of general relativity today in physics.  Maybe wasn't the best idea.

Your decision wasn't bad--after all, it's all relative.

There are about eight law courses I had never attended once (not including exams). Worst grade? B

hehe, I've gotten Bs and As in the classes I skip as well (that's why we skip them because we know we'll get away with it.)   I don't think there were any that I NEVER attended.  A bunch that I've only attended twice or three times.  My Ds were in 1L and I probably studied harder for those classes than any...those messed up my GPA and really my whole perception of the experience.

What is the deal with Mexico? I have friends who enjoy vacationing there, but I have no interest. I've been to Tijuana; it was basically Mos Eisley, except you can't drink the water and the Stormtroopers are corrupt.

It's a shithole

[Madrun Badrun]

Spent all morning coding up a graphical perceptron.  I spent two hours figuring out why I couldn't find the perpendicular to a line.  Turns out I had it right all along it just looked wrong because matlab was drawing the axis scales at different sizes and I didn't notice.  I feel dumb.

[brawndolicious]

In Canada, do they abbreviate natural log as log?

[Madrun Badrun]

ln,  log usually is base 2, but that may just be a compsci thing.

Last week I ran out of toilet paper and have been using Kleenex ever since.  My asshole hasn't felt this good since discovering craigslist personals.

[Madrun Badrun]

Ya, I support my local plumbers.

[The Sceneman]

got a very promising email, someone wants to meet me with the prospect of developing games/apps/websites 

Could be my dream job and the big break I need!

[Groogrux]

Awesome!  Hope it works out!

Muse is horrible Wrath is right.

[Diunx]

smh

[Diunx]

So half an hour after I get home last night a fucking shootout starts in front of my house, fucking shithole.

[pickle]

When did you start looking so cool Wrath?

[CajoleJuice]

i greatly enjoyed the muse concert i went to back in 2008 some homo

Damn dude, sounds wild. Was it your first close shootout?

[Madrun Badrun]

When I started wearing fedoras in public.

wait is that really you?

[Phoenix Dark]

People who pretend like Muse's early albums weren't good

Origin of Symmetry? Absolution? Haters gtfo

[Diunx]

Like the fifth, my building is the spot of choice for the thugs from two shitty neighborhoods to shoot at each other.

I was also caught in the middle of a shootout between some guys and the cops a couple of months ago while on my way to school.

[T234]

You should watch the movie DREDD, I have a feeling you might relate to it a little bit. Plus it's a killer action movie with balls, the kind they don't hardly make anymore.

Canada Post is amazing. They have two addresses for customer service: one located in Winnipeg, Manitoba and one located in Fredericton, New Brunswick. For some inexplicable reason, eastern regions (QC, NB, NL, NS, PE) must use the Winnipeg address (central region) while central and western regions (ON, MB, SK, AB, etc) must use Fredericton (eastern region). 

In other words a customer in Winnipeg must send a letter to Fredericton while a customer in Fredericton must send a letter to Winnipeg. Amazing efficiency.

Pretty self-sustaining business model if you ask me.

That makes sense. They probably have tons of trucks going from the east region to west and west/east but not a lot of west/west or east/east routes as nobody would send a letter or package such a short distance.

[Madrun Badrun]

Just realized I'm broke.  Should have applied for a student loan this year

It's probably to save gas or time. Who sends packages to people in the same city?

[Madrun Badrun]

I have too much work and not enough time.  Plus I have no idea what I'm doing in physics and stats.  *deep breaths into a bag

I also have an interview with someone from UofT on Tuesday, which I'm nervous of.

The DR does actually have a higher homicide rate than Mexico.
