Answering questions at Boston College O’Neill Library
Well, first you have to learn how to transform into a pile of cinder blocks and some mortar. Then you have to listen and learn from everyone that walks by you for about 34 years. And then, if you work really hard, you can begin to communicate with humans via post-it.
I have directed my subordinates to look into this matter and will get back to you when they have gleaned some information.
Update, 11-14-18: BC has to balance student wishes with banks’ needs when placing ATMs on campus. If you have a suggestion, contact the treasurer’s office at 2-3041, and tell them. They can take it into account when making decisions. However, keep in mind that banks often place ATMs based on where they will most profit, which is not always perfectly aligned with customer convenience.
As a part of a building, anything that could cause a fire concerns me. As long as it’s kept away from flame, I’m fine with tinder – in fact, I have many wall-friends made of wood. Oh. You meant the dating app? No judgment on how people want to find significant others or live their lives. Tinder can be good or bad depending on how one uses it.
Everyone has different reactions to it, but yes, it does work for lots of people. It also can make a big difference who your counselor is and whether you get along with them–finding the right one can be tough, but it’s worth it if you can. If you’re getting good results in other ways, that’s excellent and I hope it continues.
You do meet me – here I am! And I am so grateful you come to see me and ask me things and make me feel loved and needed.
That will depend in exactly what kind of deals you can get, but it roughly looks like cheap vodka is your best bet. A good listing of alcoholic beverage by cost per oz of pure alcohol is here: http://bit.ly/cheapBooze.
There is a tiny little voice in the back of my….well I don’t have a head or a brain, but my fiberglass insulation, that compels me to remind you to drink responsibly. Social drinking can be fun with friends, but alcohol poisoning isn’t.
Pretty much all of the modern Internet as we think of it is built on the TCP transport layer protocol. SMTP is an application layer protocol (email) that uses the TCP protocol to push information around the world. Other application layers include HTTP (webpages), FTP (direct file transfer), and DNS (like the phonebook of the Internet). All of these different types of request travel over TCP because it’s what everyone agreed upon. For more information on the all the different layers communication software that make up the Internet see http://bit.ly/InternetProtocol
It really can get excited from anywhere on the globe, if the intensity of the movement is sufficient, but there are certainly some hot spots….
Imposter syndrome can be hard. But the mere fact that you feel that way is good – it means you know you have more to learn. The much worse situation for everyone is when someone thinks they know everything. I assure you that everyone else is pretty much just making it up as well.
I’m sorry that you feel like BC undermines your value. The people that work here want the students to feel confident in their abilities – both as students and after they graduate. If there are particular instances when some one or some thing is making you feel small, you should try to to either confront those situations or remove yourself from them to the extent possible. If they become overwhelming or you’re not sure where to go, check out BC’s counseling services for some ideas. bit.ly/BC-counseling
I don’t of course, actually need to use the facilities – I’m a wall. But according to one of my helpers, the 5th floor bathrooms in O’Neill are ever so much fresher and less crowded than the others. Outside of O’Neill, the restrooms in Robsham and Stokes come to mind as good places to try.
You pass butter.
That’s a really bad idea, though there is a funny Friends episode on that theme (S1:E14). Seriously though. There’s a variation of “treat others the way you want to be treated” in almost every religious tradition for pretty good reasons. And pragmatically, if you’re hoping to date one of the parties, consider whether you’d expect that to last if it worked. Peace also to you.
Presumably, she thinks you look good in it, so that’s something to keep in mind. But the whole “make” thing seems off. If you really don’t like it you should feel comfortable saying so. Cheerful and direct is the best way. It won’t be as bad as you think, and if it is there’s something else going on.
I’m sorry you’re feeling neglected on snapchat. Maybe others are wondering the same thing and what you need to do is respond to them? Or maybe if snapchat isn’t working for making connections with people, you can try a different channel. I see people staring at their phones as they walk by me all day and night, and I wonder whether they’re connecting sufficiently. Don’t forget the talking-to-people channel.
All kinds of things happen, some for the better, some for the worse, for you or for others. Our individual points of view are quite limited, and nobody can ever know all the direct or indirect effects of any joyful or sad event. We can all work to alleviate pain & suffering & celebrate and mourn in fellowship with others. If things bring people together, maybe that’s a sufficient kind of working out.
Coca-Cola has finally finished setting up all of their machines to accept Eagle Bucks. BC has looked into getting the coffee machine to accept eagle bucks, but unfortunately, that machine is incompatible with the card readers that read BC ID’s. You’ll need to bring cash or a credit card to use the coffee vending machine. 🙁

It’s sad and unjust, but the good things of this world are not evenly distributed, whether they are smarts, or wealth, or looks, or clean water. Being smart is the product of so many factors; smart student may have genetics, early childhood opportunities, and maybe even studying a lot to thank for it. (I’ve removed the name of your brilliant fellow student to maintain privacy.)
I haven’t studied econometrics, and I’m not sure how one would test for future cointegration. But you could try taking ECON8821 Time Series Econometrics next Fall, or for more immediate answers, speak to Professor Zhijie Xiao who teaches this course in our Economics department (bit.ly/zhijiexiao).
Ta Da! They’re fixed. They should now work with cash, Eagle Bucks, and Credit Cards. Sorry about the delay: we needed a new electrical outlet, parts from Coca-Cola, and card readers from BC’s IT department installed. Never a dull moment in the world of vending machines! (Please call the number listed on the machine if you continue to run into problems.)
If you mean as in definition #5 here: bit.ly/CuddlefishDef, it doesn’t sound difficult. If you mean cuttlefish, cephalopods are well known for their intelligence, and I wouldn’t put it past them.
