Think of me as more like a Reddit Ask Me Anything with a supporting cast of dozens of experienced librarians. Totally different mechanism, and 100% organic intelligence.

I can’t print anything at all, myself, but the printers in the library? No, they can’t print A3. They’re all set to print 8 1/2 x 11. If you need A3, the closest American equivalent is 11 x 17 inches. I recommend contacting Eagle Print: bit.ly/EaglePrintBC.

Find some details of the writing you like. Comment on what’s working about the piece even if you don’t like the whole thing. And kudos for paying attention to how you’re treating others.

Hi! What am I doing? Yo, chilling with my thoughts, answering questions, being as supportive as a wall can be.

I think I would go with yes and no: Yes, life likely exists on other planets. Given the number of stars, the likelihood of no life elsewhere would be astronomically small. No, its highly unlikely they’ve been able to visit here, given the vast distances involved. We have plenty of problems to solve here without imagining additional ones.

If they are voices inside your head and it is causing you problems, you could speak with someone at Counseling Services (bit.ly/BC-counseling). If they are just annoying voices of fellow library users, I recommend trying the quiet floor up on Level 5.

Have you seen adobe walls at sunset? I know I’m a little biased (walls after all), but adobe in the sunset looks rich and warm and red. Imagine terracotta.

It’s an unofficial and informal BC club that meets on or near the full moon, to… enjoy the moon. See Heights article: bit.ly/BCMoon

Disambiguation of TLAs (Three Letter Acronyms) is a fun hobby of mine, but in this case, I do not know if you mean a small Western Australia airport, a ligand, a site for Chinese Chess play, a business indicator… or something else!

Impossible to pick just one, so if you ask me another day I’d probably say something different. But what I most love about this work is the mix of big and little questions, both of which are important. So today I’ll say: “Does God exist? And what is the recipe for Eagle’s Nest chocolate chip cookies?” Original question and my replies here: https://bit.ly/bc-godcookies

Thank you; so pretty (and shiny!)

Experience the sunrise with actual eyes, ride the waves at the beach, eat all those foods you human folks rave about, go to the MFA and enjoy the brilliant works of art, pet every (willing) dog I meet, and come back home to cuddle with my beloved Lobby Door – assuming they were also granted an embodied day. Maybe we’d head out for a late dance, too.

IDK, which do you like better? Though many people make value comparisons among artists’ work, those comparisons rarely hold up over time. Weezer’s second album bombed & was panned by critics. 10 years later it was universally deemed a classic, having influenced many popular bands. Moby Dick wasn’t widely read until over 50 years after Melville’s death. Just enjoy the art and don’t worry about ratings.

I am, too!

Not gonna pick on the coach, but we, as a society, do a horrendous job at valuing people and paying them both for the importance of the work they do and the need for everyone to earn a living wage.

The short answer is: it is complicated and it depends (on your school, the type of aid your receive, etc.) For making an important decision like this it is vital to discuss with your financial aid advisor. You can walk into the Office of Student Services and set up an appointment.
