The tuition you paid was not the full cost of your degree. You paid probably about 1/3 of the true cost while the province paid the other 2/3. The province in recent years put a freeze tuition, and also capped what it provides to school; meanwhile inflation continues.

From what you've described, it sounds like she's a straight forward and direct person, which is good. Just be straight forward and direct (but tactful) with her. Something like, "I'm sorry, I think I misunderstood the situation. I'd like to hang out as friends, but I'm not looking for anything more." Optionally, "We can have that drink if it's just as friends, but I'm not going to lead you on if you want something more."

I pay about $200 CAD per visit for cleanings and x-rays, so about $400 per year. That is an acceptable amount for me, personally, but that can be a lot for some people, especially low income households that have more than one child.

I got the Logitech Lift and found it didn't do it for me. It's certainly better than a traditional mouse, but it's at an angle that's still not neutral. I ended up getting an Evoluent and it was much more comfortable.

The showrunners said from a very early point that the two would not get together during the shows run

I had missed this. I'd hung five season's worth of ship-hope on them, but I regret nothing because they're adorable and they had better get together in the comics!!!!

This makes this season's Rutherford make a lot more sense. I am definitely a Rutherford-Tendí shipper, but even my friend who is significantly less so of one than me noticed that the two of them seemed to barely interact after she returned from Orion. They didn't have a lot of screen time, but even the screen time they did have was more being in the same scene together than interacting together which seemed so unlike them. But I thought the whole Tendi-T'Lyn rivalry was very unlike Tendi, too.

I am very displeased that they left the Rutherford and Tendi relationship hanging.

Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to answer my question and helping me understand this (or at least understand it better). The world is fascinating!

I was referring to "Just turn on a fan!" in your original comment by explaining why fans are not effective measures.

I have a question with my very limited knowledge of biology:

Currently, pathogens "use" certain resources in a host, and then the host's immune system creates antibodies that eventually kill the pathogens (or the pathogen kills the host).

The arguments are: mirror pathogens would require mirror antibodies, which is not possible for natural bodies to produce. However, this is not really a problem because our physical selves as resources would be incompatible with the needs of a mirror pathogen.

My question is: mirror or otherwise, could a pathogen "hijack" something other than usual as a resource?

Let's say, I don't know, Prime Pathogen A normally uses Prime Protein A, Mirror Pathogen A would require Mirror Pathogen A. Is it possible for a host to have a Prime Protein B that meets Mirror Pathogen A's requirement–perhaps not perfectly, but "good enough" to sustain Mirror Pathogen A?

30C at ground level is not 30C on the 10th or even 5th floor. The differences in temperature as you go higher are very noticeable. Plus, a lot of condos have large glass walls most of which are not open-able windows. Units are effectively greenhouses with no ventilation.

I enjoyed this because it took me a second to think what a not-dried prune is: a plum.
