I have my first test with Lockdown Browser and I’m super nervous that I’m going to accidentally get flagged. It’s the math test, if I am looking down at scratch paper, will it flag that as cheating? do I need to keep my eyes focused on the screen, the whole time? Like if I look around, will it automatically flag that? I'm not sure if this is the right subreddit for this but I feel like knowing how to bypass the system will help me not accidentally get flagged for cheating

Please help. The mold was black and white and stuck to the bottom of their feeder. The feeder is big so they've been eating from it since day 2 and the food was wet because they decided to do that. Now that the mold is exposed I'm super nervous and not sure what to do because it's possible they ate some. I already removed the feeder and scrubbed it with soapy water. They are acting fine now, but I would be eternally greatful for any advice. Thank you so much.

Hi everyone, I’m an incoming Rutgers NB student and I just realized I missed the deadline for my placement tests by a full month. I misunderstood the timing and thought it was something that had to be done closer to the start of classes, but I’m now seeing that it was due much, much earlier (around 30 days after admission).

I’m honestly freaking out right now. I’ve been really stressed because I’m worried I messed up something important and that Rutgers might not let me enroll or that I could lose my spot.

Has anyone been in a similar situation? If you missed a placement test deadline, what happened? Were you still able to complete it late and register for classes, or did it cause major problems?

I’m contacting Rutgers and trying to fix it as soon as possible, but I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who has dealt with this before.

Hi everyone!

I'm incubating 8 shipped duck eggs, and I'm currently on Day 21. Unfortunately, three were late quitters (around Days 15, 17, and 19), but the remaining 5 are still alive and moving.

One of the surviving eggs has a moderately saddled air cell from shipping. The air cell isn't detached, but it's definitely wavy and dips noticeably into the egg rather than having the typical smooth crescent shape.

My concern is the possibility that the duckling won't be able to internally pip into the air cell because of its shape.

My questions are: 

How often have you seen ducklings with saddled air cells hatch normally? If a duckling fails to internally pip, are there any reliable signs to assist/intervene before it's too late? If not, on what day should I consider opening the egg?

I'm not looking to intervene unnecessarily. I know assisting too early can be dangerous, but I want to make sure I am prepared to if I should.

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone. I am new to ducklings and have 8 eggs set to hatch in two weeks. I am looking into food costs, and it would be extremely cost-effective for me to buy a 50 lb bag of crumble for them. However, this would last about 4-5 weeks, and the crumble is high in protein. Would it be safe to keep them at 20% protein for the first five weeks before switching to pellets with less protein in week 6? Or should I buy a far more expensive 10lb bag so I can switch to a lower protein crumble earlier? I'm nervous about angel wing and would be grateful for any advice.

From from the obnoxious Shamy to Howard treating Bernadette like his mother, who do you think made the most toxic couple on ttbt?

The couples (I may be missing some)

Leonard: Joyce Kim, That girl with a PhD in French literature, Leslie, Stephanie, Penny, Priya, Joy, Dr. Plimpton, Mrs. Latham (the big donor for the university), the person he cheated on Penny with, Alex Jensen, and Alice.

Sheldon: Amy, Ramona, and that indian girl he stole from Raj.

Penny: Kurt; flings—Doug, Eric, Mike, Tj; Zach; Leonard; Raj; Stuart; and David Underhill (the physicist she dated)

Raj: Lucy, Emily, Clair, Anu, Isabella, deaf Emily, those goth girls

Howard: Leslie (I think), Christy, cousin Jeanie, Bernadette, those goth girls, and glacinda the troll

Bernadette: Howard, Glenn - that one ex we see

Amy: Sheldon, Stuart, Bert, the physicist obsessed with Sheldon

Stuart: Amy and Denise

Bert: that girl who stood him up, Amy

Hi—essentially, the SMART Scholarship is a program run by the Department of Defense where they cover full college tuition and provide a $30,000 annual stipend in exchange for a service commitment after graduation (one year of work for each year of funding) as a civilian employee. Most recipients are accepted as college sophomores or juniors, but I by so miracle got in as an incoming college freshman.

I can’t afford private school tuition, (my parents have a very high income, but won’t contribute, so I don’t qualify for financial aid),so I did not apply to private universities.

I plan so major in chemistry and my current top choice is Stony Brook University (with Honors College), where, after a scholarship, my total cost would be about $15,000 per year.

This leaves me with two options:

1. Accept the SMART Scholarship and commit to working for the DoD for four years after graduation

Or

2. Take out 60k in loans

If I accept the scholarship:

Pros: No financial burden; potential opportunity to transfer to another school later because tuition cost doesnt matter

Cons: Required to work for the DoD for four years after graduation; also they have required DoD summer internships so I lose my summers for academic non DoD research

My main interest in chemistry currently lies in inorganic chemistry and hope to pursue a PhD in it after graduation. Do you think taking out loans will help me get into a better grad school because my letters of recommendation would be from academic professors vs DoD researchers. And do you also think working in the DoD might hurt me because the research is applied inorganic and not fundamental?

And if I take out 60k in loans, how hard will grad school for me to pay that off?

Thank you so much!
