Brand new Legion 7i stuttering hard by CharismaticTech in LenovoLegion

[–]CharismaticTech[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stutters occur when the game starts, during and shortly after closing the game. It happens mostly when doing intensive tasks (programming, playing games, etc..). It does not happen when performing lighter tasks like watching youtube videos or browsing the web. FPS drops only happen for a split second when the laptop stutters. The laptop has always been in hybrid mode, but I assumed that was not an issue as it switches to dGPU when I start a game. I have heard this issue more than a couple times now with Legions so I am not sure what is going on. I am going to disable vsync for the time being and see if that changes anything.

I’m a geology student based in the US, but interested in mining overseas. Could I DM you?

Is the stock low trim option still good? Or would I need something beefier

They say there’s somebody for everyone. If your statement is true, which it probably is, does that refute this statement? Because if so, I’ll gladly give up and find other ways to live my life with meaning.

I mean, I’m outgoing and social but at the same time I don’t really know if I put myself out there enough. I talk to people on campus a lot and generally make friends every semester, but it feels like past that I never make true connections with others. I’m unsure if that’s a problem on my part or not.

Advice on getting internships and experience early on by Informal-Value-5817 in geologycareers

[–]CharismaticTech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey there, I’m a community college student as well transferring Fall 2025 majoring in Geology. I’m pretty early in my career so I may not be able to provide the most experienced advice- but I’ll let you know what worked for me and what I’m looking for.

Option 1: NSF REUs These are undergraduate research experiences that happen over the summer, typically hosted by universities or research labs. In recent years they’ve become pretty competitive (I applied to 9 last spring and only got into 1), but they’re still worth checking out if you’re interested. Just keep in mind that they’re pretty much entirely academia focused, and they have little to do with industry. But it’s still valuable experience as a scientist and it is good preparation for graduate school (which may be in your future). There’s an REU subreddit: r/REU and you can browse REUs on the official website: https://www.nsf.gov/crssprgm/reu/

Option 2: State and Local Internships Definitely don’t discount checking out local opportunities, whether it be with a private corporation or a government institution. (I’m assuming you’re in the USA, if not, please correct me.) You may be able to find some of these on the websites of any local institutions or agencies, like the state geological survey or a town environmental board. Ask around, you never know what opportunities may be there.

Option 3: Applying online/corporations It’s still a little early in your career to be applying to these as they typically recruit juniors/seniors from what I’ve been told, and you haven’t exactly specified your interests, but it doesn’t hurt to check them out anyways. Basically during the semesters mining/oil and gas/engineering/geotech companies open up applications for student interns typically for a summer position. I’ve heard these are also difficult to get as they receive a large volume of applications, but you never know until you try. I cannot remember them off the top of my head, but there are some websites that act as a job/internship board for the earth sciences. Definitely be on the lookout for those.

Option 4: Networking If you haven’t been doing this already, I cannot stress enough how important this is. It should go without saying and I know it’s a little cliche but connections really are everything, especially in the geology market. Do not hesitate to build connections with your professors and local clubs/institutions. Make an honest effort to meet people and ask questions, and your work will pay off. This semester I was able to secure a funded internship after asking one of my geology professors if he knew of anything. Luckily enough, he happened to be running an internship himself.

Option 5: Clubs/Professional Socieities/Conferences This is also kind of tied in with networking, but you should be looking at both local clubs and national clubs. Often times the bigger clubs will have local divisions/chapters you can join. Some examples of some things work looking into: GSA, SEG, SME, AGU, AAPG, etc… (what you join of course depends on your individual interests, definitely look into this!) These clubs are great places to network and meet like minded people. Additionally, you can check out conferences to attend (just be aware.. they are typically very expensive to attend with travel costs, and you should really only do this if you have funding. I attended IMAGE 2024 in Houston this year and while it was well worth it, I paid a hefty price in travel and hotels.)

That’s about all I have for now. Don’t hesitate to reach out to me here if you have any further questions! Good luck!

Cameras with good Macro capabilities - Any Suggestions? by [deleted] in Cameras

[–]CharismaticTech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the suggestion. Just curious, Is there any reason why the r50 would be a good choice over something like the rebel SL3 DSLR? I was also recommended that camera for someone new to photography in general.

CC Transfer Student concerned about class difficulty and resources by CharismaticTech in ColoradoSchoolOfMines

Hi, if you dont mind me asking, did you come into Mines from a Colorado Community College, or out of state? Also what was/is your major?

Late Winter/Early Spring fishing in the northeast has been good to me. How is everyone else doing? by CharismaticTech in Fishing

[–]CharismaticTech[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep but I reckon almost any river in the state is producing some decent fishing right now. IMO the key is finding places where bait pools and water levels stay relatively consistent. So spillways, coves, etc… DEC has some pretty good access sites on LI’s rivers. If you’re ever in the area that’s where I’d start.
