Woke up to this view from my window ! Stood there for a good few minutes 😊

I'm starting a new thread because this link adds some important information about yesterday's announcement:

The schedule is not yet posted. It’s anticipated at least two trains operated by the province will depart Kitchener for Toronto each day and two trains will depart Toronto for Kitchener.

According to CBC Radio the times may vary depending on what special events are taking place in Tronno.

So despite the hype from Sarkaria, “This is honestly a great milestone, a huge milestone,” these are actually just baby steps. They're welcome of course, but we still don't know when we'll get 2WAD GO:

Sarkaria declined to say when the province will achieve its ultimate transit goal: trains that run hourly every day in both directions between the cities...

There’s much work to be done before GO trains will run hourly all day in both directions along 100 kilometres between Kitchener and Toronto.

Plans must be made, tracks realigned, signals and bridges upgraded and platforms installed.

“Now starts the dedicated planning for the twinning of that track, as well as things like the rehabilitation and replacement of legacy bridges,” said Michael Lindsay, chief executive of Metrolinx, the provincial agency that operates GO trains.

Liberated edition.

If you lost an orange tabby cat with a collar with a bell on it, I saw him at university plaza and tried to approach him but he ran all the way and ended up near the laurier gym and i couldn’t spot him after that (around 6:10am) :( I hope you’re able to find your cat he seemed really cute

Hope you burn in hell

This slow down, don't speed, TV commercial has been shown for some time now but I never noticed the guy speeding is sitting in the front passenger seat at the first red light. Then at the second red light he's in the back seat. You can see behind him the rear quarter window. 😂

So I’m 20 years old man & I been thinking about trying to date 26-30+ year olds maybe even single moms who knows , but I’m for sure mentally more mature about life & every factor everyone my age that I met I never really felt a connection with or anything as we don’t align , which isn’t a bad thing it’s just how it is.

But how do I approach this jump in age range especially In the city is the question ? And with confidence , etc

Also any single moms, late 20s-30+ hit me up u won’t be disappointed 👍

( I can obviously help out & put alot on the table) im not writing this blidnly/bad intention

for people who got in wlu BBA last yr, dyk what was the min predicted IB score to get in with? I’ve been tryna find it online but it doesn’t appear available virtually.

I know this is probably a really overasked question but I'm a 1A CS student and was just wondering if for first year, employers would weight in the GPA for students more when we apply on WaterlooWorks during 1B. I would greatly appreciate any insights from upper years or anyone who has an idea, thanks in advance!

did anybody else apply to the bursaries

I applied for tuition bursary, general student, Lazaridis School of Business and Economics bursary.

does anyone know when these will come out and how much you typically get from these bursaries. I also plan on applying for the first gen aswell.

i heard that waterloo is very generous with their bursaries but not too sure about laurier

I talked to some people who I went to high school with and they have said they’ve settled into uni and are okay w it, but I don’t feel like that at all. I don’t like uni and the experience I’ve had so far hasn’t been what I was expecting when I thought of university which has been affecting me mentally. I feel so demotivated, I’m not on top of my work, I slack and I don’t know why in a way? I feel so lost and alone I don’t know if this is really want I want or if it’s just pressure from others. sorry if this doesn’t make sense.

Hi everyone, I’m looking for 1 extra ticket to faculty of arts convocation. If you have or know of someone with an extra, please let me know. Will pay, thanks!

hi everyone, i am preparing for ece 105. right now i only have problems from tutorials, help sessions, quizzes, and mastering physics. i want more practice, especially past exams. professor Jamie Forrest said he did not write the past midterms and that they are somewhat unnecessarily complicated. he also mentioned that some midterm questions will be similar in style to old physics 111 midterms. does anyone know how i can find them or if anyone has copies to share? also, can people share tips for preparing for the ece 105 midterm?

When I try to learn or study nothing sticks at all. I actually don’t know what to do. External things in my life happening in the same time ain’t helping at all as well. Can someone please help and tell me like genuinely how I can properly learn this shitty course

The judgement day is coming… I’m gonna throw up thinking about it… that FUCKASS orange bell on bright space gives me a heart attack every time I see it, only open it to some promotional notification… lord… it’s coming… its coming… any day now that demonic little bell will show us our judgement… all I pray for is that bba god will have mercy on our souls…

I'm going. Exciiiited!!!

I see all these cracked first year students who have had not one but multiple internships during HIGH SCHOOL as well as impressive projects.

How am I supposed to compete with these guys on WaterlooWorks if all I have are 2 projects that I'm working on right now? (They're not even finished)

I'm genuinely scared I won't be able to get a co-op this summer

I see it almost everyday. What is it supposed to be/mean?

Hi, I’m interested in going to ETH Zurich or EPFL for my exchange term, does anyone know what the GPA cutoff usually is for those schools?

• if anyone has done an exchange at either school, what was your experience like and what was your GPA when you got matched?

Hi everyone,

My wife is currently 13 weeks pregnant with di-di twins, and we’ve been referred to an Dr. Janice Lam in Kitchener. I was wondering if anyone here has had experience delivering twins under her care and could share how it went.

Our family doctor previously tried referring us to a few other OB-GYNs in the area, but unfortunately, those referrals weren’t accepted.

Is there any way to personally request a doctor to take us as patients? And if we feel the current fit isn’t right, can our family doctor change or redirect the OB-GYN referral?

Any guidance or experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I hope everyone is doing well. I wanted to ask for the people who have gotten into the MACC program in Waterloo that had already completed AFM what was it average compared - least a 75% average across all courses taken in the last two years of the program: And - least a 70% average across all courses, calculated using the maximum grade in a course in the case of repeated courses

I’m a bit worried because I’m between the 75-80% range.

Thank you so much!

Anyone can help to offer some advice to get Rideshare with uwaterloo students to and Toronto?

Looking for a mod service to get my 2DS XL modded. Does anyone have a reputable service?

Does anyone know who’s behind the drones over downtown Kitchener? Some are flying in repeating grid patterns. Been going on past few nights.

anybody know what part of Kitchener this guy is located

After seeing the thread here where Aire One applied for a temporary foreign worker for an office administrator position (lol) I looked into their Google reviews.

I noticed when a person who leaves a five star review they often also leave an identical review to two other HVAC companies, Don's Heating and Cooling in Mono or New Tecumseh, and also to Next Comfort Heating and Cooling in Aurora.

The fraud is so blatant that they simply copy paste their reviews including pictures to these separate companies which leads me to believe these reviews are being posted by bots or a paid service. What makes things worse is that Aire One responds to these reviews thanking them. They clearly know what's going on.

Here are some examples just in the last two days. Click on the reviewer and you'll see identical reviews to the other HVAC companies I mentioned:

Will they give us the T accounts drawn out or will we need to do it ourself ?

i saw u only needed 4.0 credits in ur degree to switch majors, thats like 4 courses right? I'm taking 5 courses per semester, so i was wondering if i could fail just one course (accounting) for both semesters.

i never had any accounting experience, and no matter how many times i do the practice questions, watch youtube lectures, read textbooks, slides, etc, i can't seem to absorb anything. i've never ever been good at math nor following mathematical "rules." BBA itself, the culture and everything, along with recent life events has just put me off the program entirely. the stress of not understanding anything in bu127 is making it a lot harder to study or learn anything. calculus seems even easier than accounting bc its a familiar concept.

the courses themselves except accounting r easy to follow, but i was planning to transfer to english and then complete the education program since its always kinda been a dream of mine to become a teacher.

since im definitely going to change majors anyways, is it okay if i fail bu127 but pass all my other courses this year? it's causing me a lot of stress, and its almost impossible for me to understand despite a lot of practice and reading. i really want to try my best, but it feels like a completely foreign language.

clarification edit: i'm not going to fail on purpose, but try my best to get at least a C+ or B-, but i can't promise i will be able to do that, im really anxious about the mid term bc i cant understand anything at all and my chronic illness caused me to miss quite some lectures

I'm running an AI hackathon next month. Participants will have 36 hours to train the best AI model to play chess.

The format is a little different from your traditional hackathon. It'll be a bit more technical, and everyone will be working towards the same goal: make the best chess model.

We're building a lot of cool tech for the event, which will let you see how your team's chess bots are doing against everyone else's throughout the event. (Check out the second image)

We'll have a bunch of researchers who work in industry at the event, so you'll also get a chance to meet the people behind some of the crazy recent innovations

If this sounds cool consider applying @ chesshacks.dev

Or for people who have lived there in the past, how long did it take?

I got a message tdy from a program friend telling me to stay safe out there especially to girls that are more feminine presenting just make sure to stay safe especially at night 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Hey there, first year BBA student here needing some help :/

Our CIIP project is due in three days, we're tight on time but starting now.. Honestly dont know too much about it - I've looked over everything but it feels weird not having hard and fast rules to follow

ANYWAYS with that being said if there are any upper years or alumni who have done well on the project - Like I mean REALLY well, and have any tips and tricks on how to ace pls lmk

This project is worth as much as the midterm so it seems like a pretty big deal

Thanks yall!

I purchased tickets for Snyders Fear Farm about a month and a half ago, I never received a smart waiver email, only an email confirming my purchase along with the 2 tickets

I have sent them an email to notify them of the issue, I attempted to call them with no answer.

Im creating this post to see if anyone has been to Snyders Fear Farm and had this issue? Is it possible to sign these waivers at the Fear Farm rather than by email?

Hi! We’re celebrating my boyfriend’s graduation tomorrow and I’m not really familiar with the best restaurants in the area. (I’m from Toronto).

Can anyone please recommend a good restaurant to celebrate? 🎉

There are a bunch of adorable little cat paintings/graffiti on Lester st and the surrounding area. Does anyone know like who paints them or if there’s a specific reason or when they were painted? I’ve always been so curious about it and I love seeing them. I’ve only seen one oldish post about this here.

I saw an open needle in the DC silent study washroom. Why would someone need a needle in a washroom?
