As you may be aware, the “Inkblotz” store in York Lanes will be closing on January 31, 2019. This will also include the closure of the current on-campus Canada Post outlet. 

The University has been working with Canada Post to establish a new post office on campus as quickly as possible but it will likely take a few months before a new post office is open. Despite our best efforts to arrive at a temporary solution with the existing location while a new outlet is established, we were informed by Canada Post that this would not be possible.   We recognize and fully understand the inconvenience and impact this closure will cause. The last day of operation for the Inkblotz Post Office will be Fr

Be careful, and call campus security if you spot them and are safe: (416) 736-5333, printed on the back of every YU card. They are known to become violent if challenged, so stay safe and avoid engaging them. Security can't do too much in general, but hopefully they'll do something stupid like running away.

The makers of the We-Vibe, a line of vibrators that can be paired with an app for remote-controlled use, have reached a $3.75 million class action settlement with users following allegations that the company was collecting data on when and how the sex toy was used.

Standard Innovations, the Canadian manufacturer of the We-Vibe, does not admit any wrongdoing in the settlement finalized Monday.

Under the terms of the settlement, anyone who bought an app-enabled vibrator can receive up to $199 dollars; anyone who actually connected it to the app can co

I got the $500 "Student Life Award", but I don't buy that much food, don't need any textbooks for my current classes, and intend to transfer out of York this year, so I won't be able to use it.

Therefore, I will purchase any item for you anywhere that takes YU card with a 10% discount. If you want, I can show you my balance at one of the machines on campus. You must come with me to the store, cash only, 10% before, the rest after purchase. Refunds forfeit the 10% discount but are otherwise free.

As a complete example, if a textbook was $100 incl tax, you give me $10 before I buy it (so you don't run off and I get stuck with a useless textbook), and $80 when I give it to you. Then, if you w

Short description of what I'm talking about:

In 2011, the Bank of Canada started issuing the Frontier Series of Canadian banknotes, which were the first to be produced on polymer.

If you look through the circle in the middle of the frosted maple leaf, there is kind of a 'display' of the denomination of the bill.

How does this work? Specifically, why can't I see it on the actual bill (i.e. in the reflection of the circle), and why does it stay centred on the point of light? For that matter, why does it only work with a small light source anyways?

I know that galaxies are created in a process having something to do with lots of dust coming together in one way or another to form stars.

It seems, though, that such a collection of dust and gas would tend to form a blob, perhaps in the same manner as a very large dust bunny.

http://www.reddit.com/r/askscience/comments/15pr3c/why_are_there_arms_on_a_spiral_galaxy/ asked this question, but didn't receive any answers.

http://www.reddit.com/r/askscience/comments/ik4jj/during_spiral_galaxy_formation_how_does_gas/ says that gases collapse into a disk because that minimizes the energy configuration; why is this needed though?

All known languages (both modern and historical) start from the top. Most start from the left (most Indo-European languages), and some start from the right (Sino-Tibetan languages).

Why don't any languages start from the bottom?

A possible reason could be that writing from the bottom obscures already-written text; if so, why are there right-to-left languages if most people are right-handed?

http://www.reddit.com/r/askscience/comments/17gbry/if_the_majority_of_people_are_right_handed_why_do/ doesn't seem to really explain this well; maybe I'm missing something painfully obvious.
