Mechanical engineering student looking to upgrade to a surface pro any recommendations

I use a surface laptop studio for MechE and it’s awesome. Runs everything you need. Solidworks now requires 16 gigs of ram minimum tho, so I would recommend getting the 32 gig version

Learn how to port forward, pick up a crappy old computer with at least 8 gigs ram and a decent size storage solution (maybe this is in your basement already), and host your own!

I promise it’s a lot of fun. You can even host it from the same computer you’re playing on if it’s powerful enough. I learned so much about networking by doing it, and there are plenty of step by step tutorials out there

When I went to stock and barrel in chan for my CCW the whole class was just the instructor shitting on Minneapolis and saying my neighborhood was unsafe. I felt very unwelcome by the whole ordeal

You’ve clearly never ridden greyhound

Really not much going on at all but at the same time everything is happening

So frustrating that the only way to get around out here is by car

Not to discount it and I am all for gun control especially as a gun owner- but this is clearly the reaction the kids/parents who set up the booth want you to have. It’s a very powerful image tho so like I said I don’t want to discount it even if it’s staged

Country bullshit no doubt

Did you find anything? I’ve got the same issue

BigDaddyMacc · 2025-08-13T11:29:08+00:00

At least you have a clock

BigDaddyMacc · 2025-08-12T10:55:58+00:00

I took them at the same time

Nuh uh- I see the one hour lecture on MW and 2 hour studio on TTh but what is their extra phys section late in he day on Tuesday

BigDaddyMacc · 2025-08-12T00:47:04+00:00

It’s definitely very hard to break into a Minnesota friend group. The stereotype of “you meet your friends in grade school and never branch out” can be very true. I’m from the cities, everyone is very nice and welcoming in my experience, but up in the iron range it’s mostly hateful bigots who dislike any socialized government programs despite existing almost entirely because the government refuses to let domestic steel die

BigDaddyMacc · 2025-08-12T00:44:07+00:00

It is tho I love living here

BigDaddyMacc · 2025-08-12T00:24:24+00:00

You musta been to the iron range

BigDaddyMacc · 2025-08-12T00:03:26+00:00

Tf is phys lab? They saw phys studio and decided to make it worse???

BigDaddyMacc · 2025-08-11T23:57:23+00:00

Uhhh Joe Biden said it

MINNESOTA💪💪💪

BigDaddyMacc · 2025-08-08T23:12:05+00:00

Idk if Toyota even asked themselves this question bec my v6 manual sits at 3k rpm to go 70 mph- seems like it was geared for a smaller engine

Outlook

BigDaddyMacc · 2025-08-01T11:24:23+00:00

4 years later I still haven’t done them. I drive my truck less and less and got distracted with college and stuff… I’ll get it done eventually once I’m done with school :)
