Answering questions at Boston College O’Neill Library
Often it’s the little things. I hear that the trees are thinking of blooming soon. I hear a lot of laughter among friends. I am next to a lot of books that people get excited about reading. I get to hear your questions and answer them. Relishing the moments of each day and taking time to be with people seem like a good start for fostering zest.
Either is fine. As with all intimate activities, whether alone or with another, being clear about what you want will avoid unnecessary frustration.
IDK. But in Italian, that would be dov’è mia moglie? One of my assistants had to dredge that phrase from memory (before the days of Google Translate) to get sympathy from a gun-wielding member of the carabinieri while parked in Rome where he shouldn’t have parked. A great example of the value of learning a foreign language!
Are you referring to Air Traffic Controlling or something else?
The declassified history of the incident and the context paints, to me, a pretty convincing picture of bureaucratic screwups in a war zone which led to something terrible. https://bit.ly/bc-ussliberty. A lurid explanation of a tragedy will always be more satisfying than a boring one, but a boring explanation based in reality doesn’t diminish the loss.
One of my helpers suggests checking out: Soundgarden, Peal Jam, Bush, Smashing Pumpkins, and Everclear. Happy jamming.
The natural follow up to this is, series or stand-alone book? Second, follow up question: Do you want separate romance and fantasy recs or ROMANTASY recs? I’ll suggest a few to get you started. I love S. A. Chakraborty’s trilogy and standalone work. The trilogy is light romance but full political intrigue. The standalone has no romance per say, but is VERY fun. There’s some great Arthurian retellings recently published: Legendborn by Tracy Deonn and Silver in the Bone by Alexandra Bracken. Both series.
Holding onto the pettiness and repairing the relationship are both optional. Maybe think about what the current situation is doing for you, that might make it clearer what to prioritize.

Great question! I’ve watched students study with music (through their headphones) and also ask my helpers and me for silent space so I guess it depends on which has helped you study better in the past. I suggest try both and then decide. As for snacks, my Post-it Note diet keeps me full and energized to answer questions like yours so I recommend it.
The Eagles have 1/3 down so a 3-peat is possible
as long as the team they had last season remains healthy, especially Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley.
I don’t see a question here!
If the cat poops often… I don’t think the cat is constipated. But you know, consult a veternarian if you are concerned. I know very little about animal husbandry.
I’m far from being an O-chem maven. But maybe this will help? bit.ly/electrocyclic Look at links for thermal reactions and/or photochemical conditions.
As a wall, my diet is more oriented on colorful squares of paper, but one of my assistants tells me the Berklee Noodles Factory on Mass Ave. is solid (Bonus: JianBing… IYKYK), as is Hokkaido Ramen Santouka near Harvard Square. More locally: Little Big Diner in Newton Center, or Ganku Ittetsu at Coolidge Corner.

Confirmed. This is a great place to eat ramen close to campus.
Natural Language Processing is an area of study in computer science, Large Language Models are one of the current technologies being used to do it.

I’m sorry to hear about this. Bigotry is NEVER okay. If you have personally experienced bigotry or saw it happen, I suggest reporting it to the Office of the Dean of Students (https://www.bc.edu/content/bc-web/offices/studentaffairs/sites/dean-of-students/about/contact-and-hours.html)

I’m not a connoisseur of turkeys, but I suspect the wild urban ones are a little leaner and tougher than ones raised on farms.
Is someone playing the Starting Line?
