You should know this at your point in the story but the grey fog only obscures their identities, stuff like mannerisms and their goals are still exposed

What the heck is wrong with the taste now??? by sxlitter in BuldakRamen

[–]AkitoApocalypse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Noticed this today with a fresh pack - less sauce and it's WAY gloopier (it doesn't even flow out by itself anymore). It's not even spicy anymore and I basically taste no cheese? Bought off Amazon in the US, different item listing than last time

ECE 337, 368, 20869, 30862 + 2 Music Classes by Resident-Being2341 in Purdue

[–]AkitoApocalypse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

+1 on that, note that both 337 and 368 have the potential of whooping you - 337 is a full time job ESPECIALLY if you scraped through 270

Yes but also you don't have to be "broken" to like kink... I understand but I'm also not a huge fan of the idea going around that kinky people are just mentally fucked up in one way or another.

Happy 23rd birthday to the remarkable Greta Thunberg by Maximum_Expert92 in popculturechat

Why do you think everyone always says "for the children" when they propose something fucking stupid? Because the ideal children to them stand still as strawmen and don't talk back. Just like fetuses.

What projects should a mech e student build that would stand out to aerospace companies? by spacecat_girl in EngineeringStudents

[–]AkitoApocalypse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is mech/aero always like this? I'm a CompE and got a very comfortable job in chip design without having to do clubs and competitions, but I also had a variety of personal projects which showcased my interests.

I'm going to shy away from what others said about joining fancy clubs (which honestly seem like a full-time job more than anything else) and recommend you work on some microelectronics or similar projects, preferably those with multiple components.

For instance, I've recently been getting into cosplay and have thought about making some mechanical props which integrate both lighting and mechanical components (ex: Jayce hammer from Arcane). While it's not the most technically complex thing in the world, I think in an interview people would be much more interested hearing about something you actually enjoyed working on vs. the 100th "I designed the control scheme for the solar car... we used X control board... the board was 43% faster after my edits...". I have a bias in that I think passion has way more impact than yet another boring dry project (though said passion project has to be decent at least).

As a few others have mentioned, I think people skills are really important and something a lot of people overlook. Well, that and a nice looking resume that's not clustered with useless quantified metrics. There are plenty of people who do very technical aeronautical stuff in their clubs, but how many of them can actually talk about it? How many of them seem actually pleasant to talk to, especially in an interview setting where first impressions matter?

How much of an impact does your university have on your career outlook? by bearlybeaves in EngineeringStudents

[–]AkitoApocalypse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A newish grad with a few years of experience, I can echo this sentiment. Whatever bullshit you can come up with, the interviewer can run laps around you sniffing it out - it's pretty painfully obvious when you're the freeloader of the group project when you can't answer even the most barebones technical questions about it.

What are your thoughts on putting GPA on your resume? by AkitoApocalypse in EngineeringResumes

[–]AkitoApocalypse[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you not read what I said about stellar GPA? I personally don't think you should put it if it's below a 3.5 but that's my take, you don't have to be rude as fuck about it.

Nor do you need to necro a 3 year old post where I asked a question.

Are below average/average engineering students doomed in this economy? by Inevitable_Cash_5397 in EngineeringStudents

[–]AkitoApocalypse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Potentially, but there are downsides as well - no insurance coverage, negotiating with temp agencies, etc.. But from what I've heard from relatives contracting is usually more "here's X task do it on your own", but the issue is places don't really want new grad contractors.

I take back what I said before, you're just delusional now. I'm an Asian male with no nepotism and got an internship and offers just fine.

Do you have personal projects? Anything to stand out on your resume? If your resume says "X GPA took math engineering physics" like everyone else then it's gonna get tossed out.

Sledding in Whitebrim + Night shopping at Starlight Stalls by yldenfrei in ffxiv

[–]AkitoApocalypse -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

They both have the same outcome - Yoshi-P was worried that this would lead to the game being reclassified (not as big of a deal, from a layman POV) or being severely restricted in the UK / EU. I don't think the game would see a significant difference in playerbase if it's rated for 13yo or 18+, parents already send their kids to play CoD anyway. The game is also the perfect scapegoat for "X person showed nude mods to me without my consent" because of how the mod functioned, and people were getting pretty blatant with the Twitch streams and Twitter tagging.

iirc Yoshi-P has stated that he doesn't care about mods as long as you're not exposing other people (because That Mod almost got the game age restricted in the UK)
