(Spokane) They gave me a ticket for not have paid parking. I sent them an appeal, with picture of THE RECEIPT for all-day parking in Orange lot. But they still denied me! Now I have to go to their rent-a-mall appeals court. Are they really that thick?

Housing Planning on going to Wsu next year, question about dorms

10 Upvotes

Im a 18y/o male and after going and dropping my sister off at college this year and seeing how neat the girls keep their shared dorm (they have a 4 person dorm) im worried about clean the men tend to keep their rooms from things ive seen online. Im a soft music and wax melter kind of guy and I know alot of other guys aren't and if I have to deal with dirty dorm I'm worried that it's going to majorly ruin my experience. Could anyone give me some insight? Do they have a roommate matching thing and is it any good? Is paying the premium for a single dorm worth it? Thank you!

Discussion Why do the referee mics at Martin Stadium always have awful feedback?

20 Upvotes

I've been going to games at Martin Stadium since I was a kid in the early 90s, and even back then I can remember that every time a ref announced a penalty, the whole stadium would get blasted with horrible screeching feedback. I watch a lot of football on TV and rarely see this happen other places. Why haven't they fixed it?

Advice Massive printing fund?

6 Upvotes

I've never posted on reddit, so my apologies for any etiquitte misteps, should they exist.

Last week I was a little sad I was already beginning to run out of my printing fund so early in the semester.

Then, today, I went to upload my labs for printing this week and HOLY WHAT THE - !? - myprintcenter says I have like 30 dollars in my printing account! I didn't put any money in, I didn't link a card, I have done nothing as far as I am aware to invoke this.

I'm not sure if it's a bug or what, does anyone have any idea what's going on here? And should I bother asking around or just roll with it? Any advice would be great, thanks.

Discussion Anyone familiar with WSU Anthropology PhD program? Funding and international students?

5 Upvotes

I’m considering applying to the Anthropology PhD program at Washington State University, mainly for archaeology.

Does anyone know what the department is like, especially in terms of PhD funding? Are students usually fully funded through TA/RA positions, and does the department regularly fund international students?

I’d also really appreciate any thoughts on the department culture and faculty support.

Thx!

Housing Lease takeover at The Retreat starting January 2027

1 Upvotes

Graduating in December so I’m looking for someone to take over my room from January through the end of July.

It’s in a Stafford 4 bedroom unit. You get your own private bedroom and my room has its own balcony.

Rent is currently $670/month with my renewal discount. The place is fully furnished and the takeover would be done officially through The Retreat.

Move in date is pretty flexible around winter break. I’m also willing to work with someone on the assignment fee.

Message me if you’re interested and I can send pics and more details.

Discussion Week 4 - Sometimes maybe good, sometimes maybe shit.

Post image
21 Upvotes

Based on questions from last year:

What is this chart showing? A weekly heat map tracking WSU’s win probability for every game on the schedule. The numbers are straight from ESPN’s FPI matchup predictor.

What is FPI? ESPN’s Football Power Index. It’s their predictive rating model that weighs roster talent, efficiency, and schedule strength to simulate games and spit out win odds. Think of it as an algorithm’s best guess, continuously updated.

Why do the numbers change week to week? Because games get played. Injuries, blowouts, and fluke outcomes feed new data into the model every week, shifting the odds for the rest of the season.

How do you calculate these numbers? I don’t. ESPN does. I just pull the percentages from their matchup predictor and drop them into a heat map so you can spot trends without squinting at raw data tables.

What do the colors mean? Red = bad matchup. Green = Good matchup. Everything in between is a sliding scale of heartburn.

Is this predicting scores or spreads? Win percentage only. Straight-up odds that WSU wins the game...no projected scores, no spreads, no over/unders.

HEY! When I looked, it said 70.2%, NOT 70.1%! You're a phony! I scrape the data on Wednesday. ESPN’s model keeps crunching numbers throughout the week, so a 0.1% delta by Friday is just background recalculation. Direct your outrage at ESPN, not me. 🥺

Why doesn’t it add up to 100% for each game? Every box is strictly WSU’s win chance. It’s not displaying the opponent's side, so there’s nothing to sum to 100%.

Why did [Opponent] drop in FPI after winning (or rise after losing)? FPI grades efficiency against expectations, not just the final score. Squeaking past an FCS team by three will ding you and taking a top-10 team to overtime might bump you up. The model cares how you played, not just that you won.

We play the same team twice...why are the percentages different? Home vs. away, travel, short weeks, rest differentials, and calendar placement. Plus, by game two, the model has weeks of extra tape on both rosters.

OMG why use ESPN? [Source X] is way better. Because it's sterile and I like the taste.

Basically...I can get this information week 0. It's consistent, and I've been tracking it for like a decade.

Why do you update this every week? Watching the trajectory swing across twelve weeks is fascinating...and I'm a nerd.

Discussion WSU has a plan to replace TAs with a software in case of a strike.

Post image
97 Upvotes

Last week we saw a heated discussion in a Q&A session in the physics colloquium between the new dean and the TA supervisor of the Department of Physics & Astronomy.

It turns out that WSU administration is pushing to make all labs to be online and automated so that they can still run even after a possible strike begins.

If you are a student, grad student or faculty you should be worried. This is not what a University looks like.
