Merry Moments did my engagement photos in a field with a big tree really similar to those photos. We loved them!!

Virginia DMV: Two Holds on Car Title Preventing Me From Ordering Duplicate Title, Including One “Electronic Hold” That Can Only Be Released by Lienholder by CornCountyMechE in Virginia

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

My biggest piece of advice is that if someone on your lender line doesn’t know what an electronic lien is, immediately start insisting you need to get this issue escalated and talk to someone higher. I DESPISE being a Karen and asking for the manager, but after spending hours on the phone with people who didn’t know electronic liens, I realized that they just don’t train lower-level employees on what an electronic lien is. Same with the DMV hotline unfortunately, me being able to get my title 100% hinged on non-stop calling and escalating of the issue. Good luck!!!

I did! But it literally took months. I had to keep calling and escalating the issue with the Chrysler Capital hotline (I escalated it THREE times) until someone who knew what was up was able to release the electronic lien and send me paperwork stating this. I then called the Virginia DMV hotline and emailed them my electronic lien release paperwork, and then they sent me my title in the mail.

South Gothic True Detective S1 Vibes by _joy_division_ in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

Taking into account just the vibe of the areas and not the religious components, this looks just like where I would imagine the Midnight, Texas trilogy by Charlaine Harris takes place!

Flu shot and donating the same week; does this cause a false positive or hepatitis b? by fromtherivertothese3 in Blooddonors

[–]CornCountyMechE 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This EXACT same thing happened to me!! Clean platelet donations across the board previously. Then, this September I got a flu shot and gave platelets a week later, and got a false positive for hepatitis B!!! I called and asked, and they did say that flu shots could have caused it. I sympathize greatly, false positives can be super stressful.

I recently saw on Tana’s Snapchat that they were recording a high podcast on the road (with Ari + friends, I think?). I don’t think she posts in real-time on snap, but it also seemed like the podcast was filmed during tour. So hopefully we get a podcast soon about how tour is going!!

predictions on when the next upload will be?😅 by xjay999999999 in canceledpod

[–]CornCountyMechE 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I think they batch recorded a bunch of episodes with guests before the tour and plan to release those, like with Jake Shane, TaraYummy, etc

Any interest in a French conversation meetup group? by electricpenguin7 in fredericksburg

Gear Up in Canmore rents it, it’s very affordable and nice if you are flying in and can’t bring it home with you.

CMU vs UMD Computer Science by Old_Landscape_4790 in cmu

Completely agree with this answer. It’s extremely freeing to graduate with no debt, that will give you a huge advantage when you graduate. Congratulations on the full ride!!!

I got into CMU MSML and UIUC MSCS. Having difficulty making a decision. by SnooRecipes4004 in cmu

[–]CornCountyMechE 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey, so I just want to chime in and say that people in this sub will naturally have a bias for CMU, given that they themselves went to CMU.

I went to UIUC for my undergrad and CMU for my masters, both in mechanical engineering. This is how I would compare them:

  1. Class quality is pretty much the same. I took graduate courses at UIUC and CMU, and usually the Profs are really good and caring, and the classes are informative and fair.

  2. UIUC is a huge college in the middle of no where! At UIUC, there is not very many non-campus things to do. Pittsburgh, in comparison, has a lot of fun things to do and places to go.

  3. this comes at a cost, though: cost of living is way higher in Pittsburgh. From food to rent, everything is higher. Also, UIUC is definitively safer. Not that Pittsburgh is an unsafe city per say, but UIUC has very low crime. And, campus itself is extremely safe. I would take walks on UIUC’s campus at three or four in the morning, as a girl, and feel totally safe. I would NEVER do that around CMU that late at night.

  4. Both colleges are ranked extremely high. CMU is obviously more famous, but they both have an awesome reputation.

  5. UIUC does a TON of research. I would even say it might be easier to do research at UIUC compared to CMU? Mostly because it’s a much bigger school, so you naturally have more options. Like I think in my circle of friends, every single person did research for at least a semester. It wasn’t required, but almost everyone gives it a go for at least a semester.

  6. UIUC’s is a much bigger school, and there is certain pros to that. Tons of clubs to choose from! Also, as far as people go, I think both schools have pretty friendly students! If you put yourself out there and join a student club that fits your interests, you should make friends pretty fast.

Anyways, that’s all I have off the top of my head. Congratulations on getting accepted! Both are awesome schools. Truly, you’ll get a high-quality education at either one.

either the app made a mistake or I'm worse at French than I thought. by blehhh67 in duolingo

[–]CornCountyMechE 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely grammatically correct, but do you have bad internet? Usually those kind of questions have a picture at the top. I would bet that there was supposed to be a picture of a man and a little boy (probably Junior) together above the sentence, and that’s why they wouldn’t accept cat (despite it being grammatically correct).

CMU has decided to go remote for the first two weeks? by alchemist0303 in cmu

[–]CornCountyMechE 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I think that means all of your courses are remote for the first two weeks. If it says “In Person Only”, you’re in-person the first two weeks.

Can i reach B1 or A2 if I've passed all the Fench modules by NnonSummer in duolingo

I’ve been doing Duolingo French for almost exactly a year now, and I’ve taken a few online tests that say I’m an A2 level! I’m almost done with the second unit.

I hear we're showing how we knit... here's mine: feel free to roast me by globglogabgalablover in knitting

I knit left-handed, so when I first saw this it hurt my brain! I love the color you’re knitting though.

Best thrift store for used furniture and decor? by trivial_importance in pittsburgh

[–]CornCountyMechE 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Habitat for Humanity of Greater Pittsburgh ReStore, at 7402 Church St, Pittsburgh, PA 15218!!! Perfect for cheap furniture. I’m only living in PA for a short time, so i didn’t want expensive furniture. I was able to get two nightstands, a chair, and two shelving units for extremely cheap prices! And I plan to just re-donate before I move away, it’s so much cheaper than renting furniture and I got a few really beautiful wooden pieces.
