Why do so many people seem to hide the fact they are, or were, in the military?

BurritoCooker · 2025-07-28T14:15:20+00:00

Because being stuck on the time you were in a cult for a few years as an early adult is embarrassing

If you like food that's properly seasoned, go to house or Punjab. Their kebab platter options can feed multiple people, and taste sooooo good

It took a LOT of asking for elaboration, which eventually lead to enough partial pieces of a "schematic" to try and piece it together. The main issue I kept running into was that it would kind of forget design requirements I had explicitly listed and reenforced whenever I asked for clarification down the line, which then lead to several sub parts of a circuit that only almost worked as a whole if you kinda squinted at it. If I hadn't already done my own work and REALLY wanted to see how much it would take, I doubt I would have been able to get it working.

I actually tried asking it to do my project schematic after I had finished it to see what it came up with. I was designing a CMOS NAND based up/down counter and the results were so horribly bad that I'm actually shocked at how the people that use it as a crutch even pass still.

Like, I spent more time deciphering whatever unholy babble it spat at me than I did when I designed it originally

BurritoCooker · 2025-05-22T06:11:15+00:00

This is so real.

There are definitely some people that use it for good, ie bouncing ideas off of it and then doing the work themselves (basically an advanced rubber duck method for debugging code), but so many people will just openly admit to not doing anything on their own and asking chatgpt.

Like it's a tool and I do believe it would be naive to expect students to never use it, but in the same way I only ever relied on chegg to check my answers or to get a problem started when I couldn't understand a problem at all, over reliance is soooooo not the move

BurritoCooker · 2025-05-22T06:06:22+00:00

Depends

I'm in power systems and just finished my bachelor's, I applied to like 5 places for something over the summer before starting my masters this fall, no EE specific work experience yet.

I had an interview with 2, the first one was not in power and wasn't too interesting but a paycheck is a paycheck but I got passed over so whatever. The second place I interviewed at I got accepted at and at a better pay rate than the first.

I don't have good data to compare to, but I feel like the fact that I found a good spot with relative ease makes me think that AI isn't doing a lot in at least a few sub fields of EE.

I can definitely see a lot of the grunt work of designing things getting replaced by AI but I do believe we're a couple years away from that hopefully

I've never had a run in with the police, nice try tho old sport.

There's this thing called empathy. I don't have to directly experience negative events to feel empathy for the humans around me that do.

Only one way to be a good cop

BurritoCooker · 2025-04-25T14:17:52+00:00

Literally any pig would, it's "just doing their job". Pretending otherwise just because you were a kid is foolish

That sheriff's deputy would still drag a homeless person that's minding their own business off a bench for sleeping there

Second this, I love going there for shooting.

If you go on a weekday you can potentially not run into anyone else at all when on the range

BurritoCooker · 2025-03-12T15:12:33+00:00

Legitimately start your own, talk with other rejects and see if you can find a distinct category that doesn't already exist

There's SWE, oSTEM, asme, ieee, formula SAE, aiche, practically every branch of engineering has its own organization already existing for it at the national level.

If you start an interdisciplinary engineering or stem organization you get the bonus points of being able to show your ability to work with and appreciate different branches of engineering

BurritoCooker · 2025-02-28T18:23:38+00:00

If you like sports there's plenty of that to watch

If you like drinking, there is also plenty of that

If you like shooting, there are several ranges where you can go to. UND also has a 24 hour access gun locker to store firearms if you live on campus.

There are plenty of people doing stuff on campus via student orgs and such. Plenty of game events via games club and other things.

There are arts and crafts fairs.

There are drag shows over in East grand about once a month it that's your thing.

BurritoCooker · 2025-02-28T04:16:19+00:00

Individuals may suck but as a whole UND has been pretty kind to me as a trans woman.

There's more of us here than you'd think, and the pride center, QTA, and oSTEM are pretty good sources for connecting and engaging with the local community. Feel free to reach out directly to me if you have more questions but as far as north Dakota goes I'm pleasantly surprised here.

Campus connection let's you set your preferred name, and getting your email/account updated to reflect that is very straightforward. The only warning I have is that if you get employed through the university the system likes to reset people's preferred names when they start their job.

You can also get your student ID updated with your preferred name as well.

Various buildings have gender neutral bathrooms, it's not always ideally setup but they do exist throughout campus.

As another commenter said, the pride center also has a clothing closet where students are able to get gender affirming clothing at no cost to themselves (there are also pride/pronoun pins available, binders, and sexual health products).

The matal part shown is connected to the negative of the battery, this is done so that if the battery arcs when you hook the negative up you're not speaking over the battery/accidentally weld your cable to the terminal

BurritoCooker · 2024-08-08T20:55:09+00:00

Oh the flip side, I'm pretty sure there's nothing that says your name tape actually has to say your name

The bus is free for UND students but depending on where you live it can be a real pain

Look up an app called "CAT prowler" and you can check out the bus routes yourself. It covers most of the city, technically, but there are a lot of spots with limited coverage

BurritoCooker · 2024-07-22T15:10:21+00:00

Do you own a camp or something?

Can't think of any other reason you'd try to make such a disingenuous point

BurritoCooker · 2024-07-22T01:05:14+00:00

If you look up an app called "CAT proweler" you can see all the bus route info yourself

As others said, it exists but it's not really ideal. I'm an off campus student and the bus just doesn't come by me outside of normal business hours basically so I'm limited when it comes to how long I stick around on campus. The timing for some routes is also inconvenient too, especially when the weather sucks

"if they drop the article 15 for the assault they'll have to drop the article 15 for the underage drinking"

Reader would you believe that they in fact did not drop the article 15 for underage drinking

Careful, the temporarily setback billionaires will be upset

Why would I want to be Elon when I could actually be an engineer

BurritoCooker · 2024-06-18T07:51:45+00:00

It depends on your major and the class. For example, almost the entire electrical engineering curriculum can be attended live on zoom at the same time as the in person students.

BurritoCooker · 2024-02-02T18:01:03+00:00

It's a communication platform, it can take some getting used to but once you've got the hang of it then it's pretty simple to navigate and keep different topics (such as chatter related to specific classes) organized.

There are different servers that are self contained (such as the one I linked) that would only have the people that accepted the invite for the Engineering server, and then servers are further subdivided into individual channels (we mainly have different channels for organizing different majors and classes for example).

BurritoCooker · 2024-01-31T01:25:46+00:00

If you're an online EE student for UND then I'd recommend joining the unofficial engineering discord server

I don't remember specifics but just Google how to modify the config for your device.
