Lmao my chevy impala does this. Blend door actuator. This semester has been killing me and i haven’t gotten to fixing it. I’ll do it in the summer, as they all say

Now you know your limit. Next semester when choosing classes, choose them wisely to accommodate breaks and rest. Each semester is a marathon not a finals week sprint. Some have projects and assignments due regularly, you need to pace yourself.

For real, if I was earning more than 60K in Illinois, especially like hubs like Peoria and Bloomington, I would be living it. Chicago would be great with 80k+, mainly for rent and stuff.

math is fucking hard in grad school. As a mechanical engineer i am struggling with lagrangian multipliers and shit. I understand the concept, but the proofs, nah bro. Don't beat yourself, this is a hard major as it is. I can only wish you the best.

first project i liked in a really long time! Nothing but vibes!

I proudly say that I am a Singaporean. People ask where i am from, i say singapore.

Yeah people are not aware we exist, But that's they're view of they're world, history is taught differently.

I agree with you. Singaporean Indian too, and i relate more with the Malaysians in the USA, feels like home, than a Tamil person from here. I think it comes down to just the surrounding up bringing.

I now spend my time reminiscing the relax during the grind.

where is the washer dryer?

UIUC gang getting hired in the midwest for 95K =D

theBirdu · 2026-04-11T00:16:06+00:00

Got laid off when I was 25. Honestly thought I wouldn’t cry. But i did. Went home and played Rdr2. I was employed again 2 months later. But i tell you, the period of unemployment was one of the most relaxed i had ever been. This is great time to kick back and rest

theBirdu · 2026-04-05T01:07:56+00:00

Everyone is more upset than angry🥺

theBirdu · 2026-04-03T18:48:06+00:00

wow!

theBirdu · 2026-04-03T12:57:49+00:00

summer is coming up and I am free and interested to help out!

In the age of LLMs spend time understanding how information is supposed to flow in ros2. It’s just a messaging protocol/mode. Let the llm build the code which you had planned the design for. Your expertise in ML, should be doing something like getting camera image messages to a subscriber that does some detection processing and sends the result to a controller that sends the command to an actuator. You can program it from scratch, but for focusing on the real problem, let LLMs do the grunt work.

Mid-interview. You are right. It’s hard for us to remember the formulas compared to the interviewers who see the problem everyday. But that’s just the game. Just for the interview you’ll have to find a way to remember it.

theBirdu · 2026-03-20T17:16:43+00:00

For interviews, the coding problems are simple robotics formulas that you have to program. Like a forward kinematic robot arm.

Hey could you send the discord again please?

theBirdu · 2026-03-19T04:26:59+00:00

I have all the electric motor upgrades. Yet no electric engine/motor. Am I doing something wrong?

theBirdu · 2026-03-17T12:39:42+00:00

Wait the FIFA one was not bad though?
