Some graduate as scholars other, as legends 12 comments

I mean, I just graduated, and last part of my degree was a 6-month internship, with a written report. By the time I turned it in, I knew I was getting a permanent offer at he company I had interned in, and was as a result already financially independent.
So if a teacher had been a dick about that rule, and I had had that idea... Well I might have considered it. Sending a message while remaining within the established rules is something of a piece of art.

I've lived abroad most of my life (THAT is thanks to daddys money for sure, as my parents liked to live abroad too and took us along). But that made me love to travel, so I made sure to go on an Erasmus semester (which costs less than a semester at home, so was actually NOT expensive), then took an internship abroad, then freshly graduated looked for a job abroad, and have gone on trips on extended weekends every 2 month at least.
Meanwhile, one of my friends has travelled through a lot of Europe, backpacking, couchsurfing and autostopping his way there during holidays while gettign his own degree, and is planning a visit to me through the same means of travel.
And on the parallel, I have friends (from school, so same education, similar jobs and salary right now), who haven't left france so far, and somehow never have time / money.
Safe from serious financial issues, its a lot more affordable that people make it seem.

I mean its both true and not true. it might be very different in the US because of how big it is (although you could argue visiting an other state as 'travelling', since its as much distance as visiting an other country in Europe), but if you REALLY like travelling you usually find ways, while if you just enjoy travelling as in 'fully paid hollydays' and you can't afford it you dont have the same drive and make excuses (which is ok, to each their own priorities).
OK... I feel like I sound like pompous ass Britney right here. Let me explain in next comment.

Obviously, I transitionned it the smart way in real fight (actually graduated and working now). As I said, there are teachers who wont agree to give you a special treatment, thats kinda the same in the workplace. You have responsabilities you cant make up excuses for.
But knowing how to ask someone to do something for you, knowing how much you can ask, and doing so politely is definitely valuable.

@funkmasterrex I dont want to look like an ass but... yes (alright, 'k' not 'K' to be exact).
Wikipedia's entry on temparature states "The kelvin (spelled with a lower-case k) is the unit of temperature in the International System of Units (abbreviated SI)".
Every physics problem I solved I solved using kelvins. If only because temparature should always be positive (otherwise, for instance PV=nRT would mean that either n, P or V can also be negative).
Sure Celcius is used in common life, but SI uses k.

Then youre ignoring the fact that people can be busy and not able to pick up RIGHT NOW (which is the aspect of phone calls I hate). And the worse is when they call, you dont (cant) pickup and they just leave a text "hey, call me back." without a HINT at what is the topic.

You could. But learning to game the system is important. When I realised that most teachers frankly dont care enough to bother triple checking that your story isnt bullshit (provided its believable), my life at uni changed.. I realised that if you ask nicely, most will grant you an extended deadline, because its not like they're gonna grade all the papers in a week, so it doesnt change jack shit for them, but going through the trouble of exposing you is a hassle
You also need to learn which teachers WILL NOT take shit and make sure you dont mess around with them.
Sure its not as good as doing everything on time, but it sure taught me a lot in terms of social skills, being able to ask for favors and what not in a polite way, and asking for doable favors. Those ARE skills that are usefull in day to day life.

Yeah, this kind of stuff is the reason why I dont understand the Dubai hype. The world is huge, with countless amazing places to visit, yet people choose an artificial city built on oil money where sneezing in the wrong direction can land you a death sentence.
Fuck that place. I feel like so many people are blinded by the shiny-ness of the place and dont realize how fast your life can turn to utter crap there.

Especially like... When I'm visiting a city I dont go there thinking "ILL STAY AT THIS VERY PARTICULAR HOTEL."
I plan my trip and think "Hey, I need a hotel." And you know whats convenient to find hotels ? A site that has different hotels, with price comparison and easy booking.
PS : Hotel ? Trivago.

Well if youre gonna do that you should obviously plan on the cake being ruined, and have a second one ready. Wasting a cake is not that tragic, so long as everyone enjoys the prank (hence someone old enough to laugh it off), it is done safely (no candles, even unlit ones, what if you smack their eye in a pointy candle ?), and it doesnt ruin the celebration (thats when the second cake comes in).
I would probably also only do such a thing in a setting where the person can go and get cleaned up. Ideally at their place, where they can take a quick shower and change.
TLDR : its not a huge no-no in my book, but you should have a plan.

I wouldn't mind it. Its a final email, and more importantly it is CONFIRMATION that the unsubscription went through. I like having confimation for stuff I do.

@spiderwoman Regarding the class skipping, she might genuinely believe in that, but theres a good chance it was just an excuse. I have skipped classes because it was raining (I had a 2min walk), or because I walked to the ground floor only to realise I forgot something and I was like 'well if that ain't a sign I should go back to bed, then what is ?'
And I dont buy into any of that shit, I just woke up and didnt want to go to school, so I took the first half cooked excuse I could find.

Why are we best with a base 5 sytem ? I assume number of fingers, but do you have a study or something that talks / proves ? (genuinely interested in reading about it)

This method works, except the hard part which is not described is the arrow from
"Yes I can do something about it" --> "Then dont worry"
That arrow implies youre not going to be a lazy ass procrastinator and do nothing while your levels of anxiety increase.

I think it means having 'recreational sex' not just mating for reproductive reasons. How they define that I'm not sure, but it probably has to see with having sex outside of a defined mating season that coincides with the highest odds for offspring to survive, and solely for the purpose of having offspring.

Wait but.... that sounds counterproductive. This seems to increase the odds that my parents will say no, as it guarantees that they have time to think stuff out and ask how they each feel about it, meaning that if any one of them is against it I will not be allowed to do so.
Whereas I can just ask one of them (the one I suspect the most to be ok with), and then go see the other and say 'Dad wants me to ask you if I can sleep over at Max's place tonight. He seems OK with it :) Can you drop me off" for a higher success chance.
Did I miss something ?
EDIT : No idea why I bothered with this, since Im living on my own, and Im nowhere near ready to have kids.

You sure its 250 ? 255 seems more likely since thats the maximum value you can store on 8bits. And if you add one to that, you will overflow it and it would reset to 0 (since 256 would be coded by a 1 followed by 8 zeroes).
Pretty sure thats the same reason Ghandi used to go nuclear, his aggresivity dropped below zero, which looped around to maximum aggressivity.
