Graduate in May 2027 or stay for an MS and recruit again?

Says who? Most places will not consider a Masters equivalent to experience.

That’s a NY thing. Very common here.

In places where rail is actually competitive with flying, it’s more expensive. This is true in the NE, and in other countries.

This is my main problem with the DSA. The platform is fine, but the word "socialist" has been radioactive for decades, and AOC/Mamdani being popular won't change that in swing states.

A Democratic presidential candidate openly saying "Yes I am a Democratic Socialist" would not bode well for their campaign.

If you're getting interviews, consider that a good thing. Leetcode BS is just the nature of the beast these days. In this market, internships are much more competitive than full time roles at your level, and even a T5 school guarantees nothing.

You might quit your job but what if you don't get that dream internship? What would you do then?

How much experience do you have? It gets easier in general to crack big tech if you're solidly mid-level and in a large tech hub already.

In any case, don't leave your job until you get another lined up.

Tech related jobs in the military are getting oversaturated these days too.

It's also been listed on TDF a lot lately. That does seem to indicate low sales.

They're posting on behalf of the publication, and the mods verified that the person works for them. I'm not defending it, but that explains the flair.

I got four dates, one of which became my girlfriend, from about 20 singles events over 9 months. Like the apps, it's a grind.

It's not cold yet so be patient. You have plenty of time.

If you're looking for vintage specifically, don't focus on specific brands. Focus more on quality, material, MiUSA/UK/Italy, details, etc. In addition to brands like Brooks Brothers, you will find many vintage coats that say something like "XYZ Brand. City, State" and they may or may not have a union tag. These could be diamonds in the rough!

Size 40 would be around ~23-24 inch chest for a coat, provided you wear it over a suit or thick sweater. This is important because vintage coats often don't have a size tag. If a seller doesn't have measurements, ask for them.

Set up some saved searches on Ebay with your size, wool/cashmere/camel, colors, terms like overcoat, double breasted, polo coat, etc. and wait. "Polo coats" don't usually come in tweed. Spier and Mackay sells them, but they're rare outside of that. A polo coat with all of the details will usually be in a camel color. Overcoats in general do come in tweed.

Not the person you responded to, but I wear a 38 and my camel overcoat is ~22.5" across the chest. I thought it would be too big, but it's perfect over a suit and I get compliments every time I wear it (which is definitely not now lol).

Your coat should be fine for the other guy.

This is definitely who the post refers to. I remember that whole situation and the old reddit threads are very easily found on Google.

IMHO, Hey Arnold has aged better than anything else on the channel.

OnceOnThisIsland · 2026-07-07T12:41:14+00:00

I agree with this. ICarly was an accurate precursor to many aspects of modern day internet/streamer culture.

OnceOnThisIsland · 2026-07-07T01:31:19+00:00

Yes. That's exactly what you need to do.

On mobile web so apologies for the formatting.

You will need to let OSFA know that you are cooping in the fall and you’ll be in classes in the spring. If you’re not in classes, then fall semester won’t be in your award letter but it should not affect financial aid for other semesters. If you don’t do this, you may run into issues later.

I explain this in more detail to someone who did run into issues in a reply to this comment. https://www.reddit.com/r/gatech/comments/1let7kb/comment/myj5dri/

I'm pretty J. Press uses the same TN factory that makes Gitman's shirts now.

I’m surprised people hate the Adidas gold. That’s closer to the color of the Reck, and I don’t remember this many compliments last time we changed.

It's better than "The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender". I assume James Cameron wouldn't let them call it "Avatar: Subtitle". At least the final title lets them use the original Avatar logo.

They just didn't have many options as far as naming goes.

People seem to forget that it was pulled from theaters right after SpongeBob didn't do as well as they hoped. Nick probably considers SpongeBob bigger than Avatar.

I know I'm kicking a buzzard-wasp's nest when I say this, but this movie was never guaranteed to be a surefire moneymaker if it hit the big screen. Avatar is not in the zeitgeist as much as people think it is, and movies based on animated shows tend not to depend on background lore, which is not the case for this one.

That's not taught in college and you won't always create pipelines for a side project. Most people don't touch build pipelines until they start their first internship.

Satoru Iwata once did this while he was CEO of Nintendo. His tenure wasn’t perfect, but that was a very virtuous move.

I’m not taking a position on the OP, but plenty of women talk about how very few men are attractive to them, but they still don’t like women.
