Seems like the majority of our Home games are on a Tuesday/Wednesday, whereas our Away games are mostly weekends. Kind of a bummer, was it like this last year? Regardless I’m buying my tickets though 👀
Im starting to pay my student loans and am hitting a hurdle for some reason. On their site it says I can either "use your financial institution’s online bill payment service." or Make a One-Time payment. For me, doing the bill payment service is probably more managable then logging in every month to do a one-time payment. My confusion is that it wont seem to link anything?
Only thing that comes up under payee is "NSLSC - OSAP Micro-Credentials" and if I do that with my loan number (which says to use as an account number) I just get an error saying to double check my account number...
Is BMO difficult for some reason or am I just not understanding? Worst case i'll just do one-time payments but if anyone could offer some help with what to select as the payee that would be apreciated.
Im doing a big cleanout of one of my rooms and there are dozens of DVDs and video games that I dont want anymore. Do video game stores still trade/give credit for video games? That one I assume is easy enough but have no idea what to do with all these DVDs. Will the library take them? Can I donate them to the hospital? Who uses these now
EDIT: These video games are mostly handhelds (PSP, Gameboy Advance, etc) and some PS3/PS4 games
Recently came across UOttawa PDI and am wondering if anyone has any insights on it? My understanding is you can just pay for individual courses for professional development, but it looks like they also offer certificates where you complete core courses and x amount of elective courses. The part that has me hesitant is that its pretty pricey. Does anyone have experience with this, either good or bad? Was it worth it? Are these professional development courses/certificates actually recognized by employers? If you do a certificate is there any sort of discount on course prices?
Trying to get some information before making a decision. if anyone has any insight on this i'd really aprpeciate it 😄
I’ll keep it brief: I’m currently pursuing a PhD and have been in the program for about five years. Admittedly, I think I rushed things and made a mistake when choosing both the university and supervisor, and I’m seriously considering leaving due to an increasingly difficult supervisory relationship.
Over the years, I’ve received what I feel has been inconsistent and sometimes contradictory feedback, with my supervisor and committee often seeming to be on very different pages regarding my research and the direction of the dissertation. As a result, I’ve repeatedly been asked to shift the focus of my thesis, and most recently I was told that substantial changes would be required for the project to move forward. My supervisor also suggested that leaving the program may be the better option if I’m unwilling or unable to make those changes.
At this point, I’m questioning whether continuing in my current situation is realistic or healthy. I’m considering leaving the program, working full-time for a few years, and then potentially applying to a different PhD program in the future once I have more experience and a better understanding of how to approach doctoral studies. Thankfully, my professional experience is in a related field.
My question for anyone able to provide input is: would leaving permanently damage my ability to return to doctoral studies later? Has anyone left a PhD after several years and later been admitted to a different PhD program? How do admissions committees generally view applicants who previously left a PhD program?
I’d appreciate hearing from anyone who has direct experience with this situation
Had an odd experience that I was thankfully able to deescalate verbally, but my partner is very freaked out about it. First time something like that has happened to me, which made me realize that at 30, i’ve never been in a fight and don’t know how well I would be able to defend myself (or her) if that situation went the other way and got physical. Fresh on the mind, so I’m wondering if anyone has recommendations of where I can learn self defence as a man?
😭😭😭
Usually costs me about $15 for this trip… does anyone know if something is happening downtown / with the train right now?
“A report for Wednesday’s council meeting outlines 12 possible projects using $10 million initially allocated to turn William Street into a pedestrian plaza, including improvements to the Rideau Station and Rideau Street corridor and the Rideau-Sussex underpass, and transforming underutilized plazas into flexible public gathering spaces.”
Each week more and more ‘rumours’ emerge… I wouldn’t be surprised but I’m starting to suspect
I just hope everyone has fun 🙂
Regardless of who else advances, pretty sure Ottawa will have Games 3 and 4. Does anyone have any insight to the dates? Concerned it’s going to overlap with Ottawa Race Weekend and make things 10x more chaotic…
I can’t remember if last year there was ‘finals’ merch for teams in the final or if it was just ‘playoff’ merch; anyone remember?
Going to CTC tonight a bit early to avoid traffic chaos, so will likely be grabbing food there to make life easier. What’s should I try? What should I avoid? Tell me all about the food 🤤
Interesting development on the Ottawa location
“The CEO of Alto, the Crown corporation in charge of the proposed Toronto-Quebec City high-speed rail line, says a station in the heart of downtown Ottawa is simply not feasible.”
For anyone using UberOne, I got 6 months free and it goes until end of October. Will it auto-renew in October, or will my membership end? If the former, is it better to cancel it now to prevent auto-renewal, or will I lose my remaining months? I know some subscription apps let you keep your remaining balance if you cancel, while others just end all the perks immediately.
Just trying to determine if I should get ahead of things now or wait until September. Don’t want to risk forgetting, or it being a hassle and dragged on until the auto-renewal kicks in 🫠 I’ve heard horror stories
Since there are no dates yet, I assume nothing is definitive. But does anyone know if there will be any shuttles to get to the CTC from Glebe area? Like if a bar does one, or from TDPlace, etc? Trying to get an idea of what that commute may look like
Ottawa’s main business and tourism organizations want to see high-speed rail bring passengers to a station in the downtown core, saying it “deserves to arrive in the heart of Ottawa.”
