Back in late January, Sky Sushi replaced their old sign. However, they kept the old sign due to the sentimental value it holds. As written on the Facebook Page for Sky Sushi, “it’s not only our first business sign but also it’s our memory....” Recently, the old sign was stolen, much to owner Curly Zhang’s dismay. Zhang wrote to the Lode that they kept it at the side of their building,...
Two major events occurred on Mars this week. First, the helicopter Ingenuity flew for 90 seconds as it was piloted from back on Earth. The other milestone was the landing of Michigan Technological University’s “Zeus” capsule. Led by Professor Anthony Hurd and a small group of students, Michigan Tech’s colony has beat both NASA and SpaceX to colonizing Mars. The project, known amongst the team...
Yesterday morning, a group of MTU professors discovered what they believe to be Atlantis. Despite what one may think, they weren’t doing any research. In fact, this group of four professors bears no relation to each other within the university and research completely different topics. They only know each other out of a mutual passion that they all share: deep diving in the freezing waters of Lake...
Since Game of Thrones last left our screen around two years ago, many fans have been left wanting more. Well, fear not, my fellow Thronies, as I have created additional content that will fill the gaping hole left in your heart after the terrible, botched redemption arc of Jaime Lannister we were subjected to in Season Eight. Specially curated for Michigan Tech students, this quiz will tell you which degree program you should be in (there’s still time to transfer, unless you’re graduating this...
Are you the stale butt of bread at the end of the bag or a mouthwatering toasted piece of cinnamon swirl? What does what type of bread you are say about you? Tell us your favorite Marvel character, and find out! If your favorite character is Iron Man... Then you are most definitely a regular old piece of white bread. You like the classics, and you might be a bit basic. You can’t go wrong with a slice of white bread, just like you can’t go wrong with Tony Stark. While...
As a college student, I value my money as much as other students. That’s why I go out drinking every weekend after my MEP weekly exams. The best beer is the most expensive, even if people claim there’s a cheaper, better brand. This also applies to textbooks; the best ones are expensive. I personally think shrink wrapping books is underrated. Each textbook should come with that shrink wrap that devalues it by 80%. That way, people don’t try to return textbooks after copying all the information...
The end is near! Or so it would seem, as we all gear up to go back to in-person classes this upcoming semester. Though the Johnson & Johnson vaccine has been recalled out of “an abundance of caution,” leading students to believe that the MTU vaccination clinic we’ve heard talk of may not actually come to fruition, there seems to be a light on the horizon! Many students and faculty members have been seeking out the vaccine on their own, making it more and more likely every day that we will...
As a guitarist, I have a collection of riffs I practice with. They allow me to practice certain skills, like alternate picking with “Thunderstruck” or tapping with “Eruption”. One song that’s always been enjoyable for me is “Stairway to Heaven”, the 1971 classic rock tune by Led Zeppelin. What I enjoy the most is how I glide over the arpeggios, especially when two or three notes chime in together to produce harmonies. I also enjoy replaying the solos of the guitarist Jimmy Page, who’s...
Yesterday, Apple announced the release of their new iPhone, as well as their new product, AirTags. This iPhone has been marketed as “the iPhone for everyone,” and let me tell you, they weren’t kidding. I think we can all agree on the one thing the iPhone has been missing all these years: the color purple. That’s right, the new iPhone comes in a beautiful shade of deep, shimmering purple, and honestly? It fills the void in my soul. Plus, this phone makes outdated, expensive cell service...
The threat of COVID-19 has driven many people to isolate themselves from their friends and family as not to get or spread the virus. Many have not seen friends and family for months, or have not had real-life communication with others. This has led many people to feel rusty in their social skills. People are feeling more socially awkward and more socially anxious than they did post COVID. As more and more people begin to get vaccinated, people are realizing how out of practice they are. What can...
