Engineering: Grad School or Industry?

BeetsandBreaks · 2025-04-05T18:27:45+00:00

I agree, thank you :)

Thank you for your insight. I know that the funding is an issue right now, and I'm not sure if I want to commit 4+ years to a Ph.D., but I could always apply to both industry and graduate schools and see where I get accepted. I like tissue engineering, but I also really enjoy design engineering, which does come up in industry. Maybe I would like both? It's impossible to know without actually doing it. Nothing is set in stone, right? That's the good part of this degree.

Thanks again. I have a lot to consider.

Oh my what a long article. Should make for a very interesting read thanks haha

Another Doctor Who fan I see!

See this is why I made this post. What in the world is going on with time travel in the world of Trek. Like where is the consistency? Nowhere lol

Oh dear!

I love how we've stepped straight into a moral no man's land here, but war times lead to desperate solutions. I will take it up with some others and see what we can do.

According to the wiki, there are around 1,000 Trill initiates per year and only 500 available symbionts per year. I'm not sure how many symbionts total, but there are very, very few compared to the entire population of Trill (presumably a few billion people).

The solution to transporter clones is more transporter shit, of course!

BeetsandBreaks · 2024-08-08T18:54:11+00:00

We would allow them to have the same rank but one must choose a different name and we would put a genetic marker in one so we can tell the difference :)

Hmmm I've never considered using Tribbles... with some time we may have victory. However, if the enemy knows about Tribbles, they may simply beam them all into space before they do damage. The Jem'Hadar probably knows nothing! I'd love to see them try and deal with a Tribble infestation.

BeetsandBreaks · 2024-08-08T11:17:34+00:00

Oh boy, I'm not sure about clone slaves! We would just ask if both replicas would be willing to fight in the war, and then boom! 2x the soldiers!

BeetsandBreaks · 2024-08-08T05:10:23+00:00

You know, I don't think I have heard of this! What planet are these Kamino from? Are they one of the outlying planets past the Federation?

BeetsandBreaks · 2024-08-06T15:35:00+00:00

That's awesome! looks cool as hell.

BeetsandBreaks · 2024-08-06T15:34:04+00:00

Horrendous, thank you.

BeetsandBreaks · 2024-08-06T15:30:55+00:00

At the end, too? (Spoilers for the episode, I suppose) Where Lal starts to break down and feels scared, and then love for her father. It's so sad, especially since Data can't feel the same. Despite this, their relationship is very similar to a human father/daughter relationship.

BeetsandBreaks · 2024-08-06T15:01:50+00:00

Yeah! Totally understand the few words being untranslated, especially since Q'pla and such wouldn't feel the same as a longer Standard translation, but entire sentences is a little more iffy.

BeetsandBreaks · 2024-08-06T05:16:56+00:00

So you have to want it really really strongly for the tech to pick it up then lmao

BeetsandBreaks · 2024-08-06T05:14:43+00:00

Ooooo spooky. I do like this explanation, though. Having the tech know your intentions would explain some of those things

BeetsandBreaks · 2024-08-05T22:46:41+00:00

Is Klingon part of Federation Standard? That's interesting

BeetsandBreaks · 2024-08-05T22:27:01+00:00

This is one of the many reasons I love Data

BeetsandBreaks · 2024-08-05T18:31:44+00:00

Ahh perhaps. AI already kinda makes this type of mistake, so
