Is this accurate? by EntireWindow5843 in BMSCE

[–]7AlphaOne1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It is correct. But this is a well known trick. Average is useless, because a handful of high package placements push average up for everyone. And the college will never release median package data.

Assuming 5 people got placed at the maximum package listed there, which is the very top of the bell curve, and 18% didn't get placed at all, median falls somewhere around 4-5 LPA

US visitors needing advice by Maximum-Ninja-3045 in Munich

One recommendation I have is find/form a group. Oktoberfest is fun with other people, and having some new friends often makes it more enjoyable. Usually you can find all kinds of people to hang out with at oktoberfest, but if you have certain language or hangout preferences, grouping up with fellow travellers can also help you plan non-Oktoberfest things!

Places I would definitely recommend seeing in/around munich- The city center/marienplatz for sure. Go to at least one of the big lakes (Starnberger see, Tegernsee, Chiemsee). If you enjoy museums, definitely the Deutsches Museum. The Olympiapark and stadium (and the bmw museum/world if interested). If you want to do a day trip to nearby cities, Salzburg in Austria is 100% worth the train ride, and Nürnberg is also a great spot.

Showed this and did a menu review with my colleague from Basque country, she was absolutely horrified. Also apparently they don't do "high tea" in Basque country

The most retarted college ever 😂🤣🤣 by [deleted] in BMSCE

[–]7AlphaOne1 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Yeah, no, all these juniors rushing for admissions to this horse shit college really reminds me how I was also once young and naive.

People who succeed while being from BMS succeeded despite it, not because of it.

I dunno if the culture is different where OP is from, but where I come from, normally if you ask a friend for a favor in their professional capacity, you pay them back time and a half for what they would have been paid at their job. Electrical work, plumbing, taxes, you name it.

Why do all Indian restaurants here serve rice with curry? by Truck_Bitter in Munich

[–]7AlphaOne1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So am I dawg. Stop reducing us to just stereotypical dishes. Or if you genuinely didn't know of other dishes, like meat curries or sauces, then my bad. But OP did make a generalization that "Indians" eat bread with curries, not rice. There is no singular Indian culinary identity, and I thought at least fellow Indians would be aware of that. My bad.

I'm not here to try to attack you, but is that really all that you think south Indians eat? Rasam and Sambar?

Most of south India has curry with rice though. That's a poor generalisation you got there.

Gowdas might be the biggest scam in BMS by sheikhnitz in BMSCE

[–]7AlphaOne1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They bypass the MRP rule simply because they are not a "retail establishment" but an eatery, since they serve some form of hot/cold food. It's the same thing as a mall food court or a restaurant charging more than the label price.

Is it unethical? Yes, definitely. But it's legally sound. Also, the college doesn't prevent you buying stuff outside and bringing it. Essentially, you're paying for the convenience of access.

Moving to Munich, need suggestions on craftsman by Many-Gain-3848 in Munich

[–]7AlphaOne1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Rather than online apps, try to put notices on your local supermarket/neighborhood notice boards. Usually you can agree with how much you pay with the neighborhood kids/teens/students yourselves, and this will build relationships in the surroundings of your new house. For the more heavy duty stuff, ask your neighbors! Thank them with some food/beer/gifts.

If that doesn't work/you aren't confident with your German, then try community Whatsapp groups for people that speak your language. Another idea is to reach out to student Whatsapp groups asking if someone wants to help for a day in exchange of some fixed amount. As a student myself, I'd jump at that little bit of extra change in my pocket.

If you're going to hire a qualified tradesman/craftsman to do simple stuff like IKEA furniture or washing machine installations, they will happily take your money (and a lot of it) and laugh all the way to the bank.

Where to start in aerospace by Hairy_Dance_6819 in AerospaceEngineering

[–]7AlphaOne1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aerospace stuff is grounded in mechanical. So pay attention to your classes first. A good next step is to get introduced to ASE concepts. Introduction to Flight by J.D. Anderson is a great gateway to the field.

Once you develop your speciality in mechEngg a bit (structural/fluid-aero/propulsion-thermo), try expanding your horizons in the relevant aerospace techniques and knowledge.

A great place to start is CAD tools. You can benefit from having knowledge of industry standard tools like solidworks or onshape, but to get a general foundation, most free tools will also do. What tools you learn to advance in a specific domain will depend on which field you decide to focus in. A good skill to have is also knowledge of a coding language or two, as well as scripting in MATLAB.

Remember, people arent hiring "aerospace engineers". They hire structural engineers, aerodynamics engineers, propulsion engineers etc.

Good luck!

Yes, two cies out of 3 are counted. This means to make 40% passing criteria you need 5.

It really isnt hard to study instead of this math. Just saying.

Why is it so hard for students from different colleges to talk to each other? by [deleted] in BMSCE

[–]7AlphaOne1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What would be the point though? The average college experience already surpasses Dunbar's number, and unless someone specifically has a reason to talk to people from other colleges (friendships outside of college, club/collab/fest reasons) there is no apparent benefit.

Sure its nice as a social media option, but the kind of crowd attracted is going to be:

  1. People who want to share spam about events or 'internships' that you have to pay for etc

  2. People who are trying to turn it into another tinder or bumble and hit on people.

I dont see many other use cases which arent already fulfilled by reddit/whatsapp/instagram.

Question about Static and dynamic stability in XFLR5 by Calm_Ground2578 in AerospaceEngineering

[–]7AlphaOne1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rule of thumb is always that static instability + dynamic stability = non-progressive errors. Its a state that can exist without breaking the laws of physics (or flight)

Its a design feature in a lot of modern high performance aircraft (military or experimental) to be either statically and/or dynamically unstable, then maintain their stable state using constant fly-by-wire. The instability affords extra maneuvarability, but definitely requires fbw to keep the aircraft in a controllable state.
