Tldr: Cornell reduces the punishment for violating academic integrity

Praying the Boldt Booty Bumper is healthy and safe

I am currently taking CHEM1729 (Solve It!) with Professor Stephen Lee in preparation for CHEM2070 in the spring.

Professor Lee is very tough to work with. So far, we haven't learned any real chemistry - we have been doing mostly mental math, riddles/puzzle problems, and some basic unit conversions.

I was wondering if anyone who has taken this course could attest to whether it helped them do better/get a better grade in 2070. It feels like a waste of time at this point, and all he does is belittle and scream at us.

Has anyone taken the one credit COGST 1104(WIM) that goes with intro cog sci. What value does it add in addition to take regular course and whats it like?

I have one of my old laptops left I don’t use. MSI Katana Thin i5 13th gen w/ RTX 3050 - for 540 but negotiable since I know finances are rough, it’s just collecting dust so I want to get it out to people who will use it. New is 900, original box but the box has seen better days lol. The other laptop I had went to someone in the community and they love it. Feel free to reach out! We can meet somewhere safe like the police station or whatever:)

Posting this one just because the other post I couldn’t link pictures of this one.

Cornell Dairy Co-op says there won't be any 3 gallon tubs available, and a limited supply of pints & cups

I honestly don’t know what residents at Collegetown Terrace are supposed to do about the Internet situation anymore.

Since moving in, FiberSpark has been incredibly unreliable. I’ve experienced repeated complete outages, severe packet loss, and huge jitter, especially in the evenings. There have been times when the connection is technically “online” but is basically unusable for gaming, Zoom, or even normal Internet use.

I’ve done a ridiculous amount of troubleshooting at this point. I’m using wired Ethernet, not Wi-Fi. My connection to the local gateway can be completely stable while packet loss appears immediately upstream and continues to the final destination. During one outage, I was seeing around 87% packet loss to Google while the local gateway still had 0% loss.

What makes this even more frustrating is FiberSpark’s customer service. I’ve sent them multiple tests, screenshots, WinMTR results, and repeated follow-up emails. They’ve acknowledged that there are broader network problems, but I still haven’t gotten a meaningful explanation of the cause, what exactly they’re doing to fix it, or a realistic ETA. Lately they have barely responded to my follow-ups at all.

So I tried to solve the problem myself. I was willing to pay for Spectrum out of my own pocket and keep FiberSpark as-is. There is already a coax outlet in my apartment. Spectrum sent a technician, but the technician needed access to the building’s communications/mechanical areas to trace or activate the old coax connection.

CTT told me they would not allow the Spectrum technician access, so I ultimately had to cancel the Spectrum installation.

That’s the part that really gets me. If the Internet included with the apartment were reliable, fine. But when the provided ISP is having repeated outages and severe packet loss, residents apparently also can’t independently pay for another wired provider to get a reliable connection.

At this point I’ve literally had to use my phone hotspot because it is more usable than my apartment Internet.

For the amount of rent CTT charges, I really don’t think “use your cellular hotspot because the building Internet doesn’t work and you can’t install an alternative” is an acceptable situation.

Has anyone else at CTT been dealing with the same FiberSpark outages/packet loss? I’d especially be interested to know if people in other CTT buildings are seeing the same thing.

Hi everyone,

I'm a researcher trying to access A Guide to Mao's China: Showing the Nation to Foreign Guests by Gavin Healy (Cornell University Press).

DOI: https://doi.org/10.1515/9781501785924

De Gruyter Brill page:

My university provides access to many academic databases and publications, but unfortunately this particular title isn't included in our institutional access.

Since the book is published by Cornell University Press, I thought someone here might know whether there is a legitimate way to access it through Cornell Library, Cornell University Press, or another institutional service that I may have overlooked. I need the book for academic research, so any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

hi! im a first year that would really love to learn rock climbing for the first time this semester. I (accidentally, im going to drop two at the COE office tomorrow or the day after) enrolled on the waitlist in 3 sections, and my waitlist spots are 6,9(70% sure this is the first year only one), and 15(saturday class). is it even worth staying in any of these with such a high waitlist number? thank you!

Especially science, nature or art-related.
