Hi folks! I'm working on a lecture on the history of minting coins aimed at a lay audience of undergraduate students. I want to start with Lydian coins and how stamped coins were made, but I'm having trouble finding resources about this. Does anyone know a good place to look? I tried my university library, but there wasn't much.

(For context I'm a psych grad student running a mock lecture as part of the data collection for my thesis, and my supervisor let me pick the topic. I'm a modern coin collector, and would collect ancient coins too if I didn't live on a student budget)

I'm a grad student trying to decide if my lab needs a new eye tracker for my research or if we could get by without. I want to analyze where participants are looking on their screens with about 2 degrees of accuracy, what's on that part of the screen at the time (if possible), and how long they spend looking away from the screen. All the options I've seen have been $4k+ and my lab doesn't have grant money to spend this year. Does anyone here know if there is affordable software for analyzing eye gaze from webcam footage?

Supremely disappointed that the Lakeshore West trains to and from St. Catharines now only leave once a day. There's no way to get from Union to St. Catharines after 4:59 pm now. I was going to commute to university via the train, but I don't think I can trust it now knowing I'll be completely stranded with no way home if the TTC connection gets there late.

What the title says, what kinda of workshops/series do you wish your school offered that they don't? Personally I wish there was more stats & formatting help, especially for students interested in research.

Hi all, does anyone know what textbooks/readings PS261 and PS361 used? I took them ages ago and want to brush up for grad school. Thanks!

My cat spends the night in his own room with everything he needs because otherwise he will knock things over and scare us awake multiple times a night. He's happy with this routine, but if we sleep past 7:30 AM on weekends, he'll start scratching at the door. There's scratch marks all over it, the paint's peeled off a lot, and I'm worried that if I don't do something to cover it, there will be damage to the door itself. My landlord said it was fine last time he saw it, but I don't want the door to be unfixably scratched up by the time we move out. I don't care about curbing the behaviour anymore, I think he'll do it no matter what, but I want to protect the door. He does it to other doors as well to get our attention, but that one is the most scratched up. Thanks!

I have a bag of ice from the convenience store on the top shelf of my fridge trying to keep it cold. It's currently 46°F. I just bought groceries yesterday. I'm mostly worried about the eggs, 10% cream, milk and bacon. I don't know when the power will be back on. How long will that stuff be okay?

Update: power came back on after 26 hours. I didn't open the fridge again between adding the ice and sending the most perishable stuff to my family to keep it cold there around 22 hours in. Frozen were all still solid and fridge stuff was mostly pretty cold. Thank you all for the reassurance, I probably would've thrown out some okay food otherwise!
