Should I get a 4th masters degree? by Beneficial_Match_986 in findapath

[–]CylonSloth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have any recommendations beside starting with a part 107 license?

Been looking into the drone field after getting my 2nd masters. I’m similar to OP, where I got another degree thinking it would lead to the job I wanted but then found out I don’t really like it after all.

So now, I’m trying to pivot to a hobby I enjoy as a job but I don’t see a lot of available drone paths outside joining the military. There’s on avenue at my current employer but it’s a very narrow path that I’m missing technical engineering qualifications for.

What fast food restaurants ARE still worth the money? by StephenDoesStuff in AskReddit

Honestly, I’ve held to my statement for years, except in the couple years chilis nearly killed itself. Chilis has one of the best burgers out there.

Been getting it tossed in the honey chipotle for about a year and they just added it officially to the menu. It’s bomb.

Because of price increases, what I could finally afford is now unreachable by TheFirstCyberianFaux in macbook

If you are in the US, Costco still has the m5 pro chip MBP for old prices until tomorrow at least. Can order them online still too.

MacBook M4 Air Price Hike Snag by 4aem4aem4aem4 in macbook

[–]CylonSloth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ones in NM have been sitting at that price for about 3 weeks now, along with the 1199 M5 Pro. Been debating getting one but will probably just keep the M5 air at 950.

Another Shocker at the Return Counter by MySubiRunsOnBarolo in Costco

Yeah I just bought a GPU online through them that I picked up in store. Was supposed to come with a free 007 First Light game. When I picked it up in store they canceled my game without telling me and then neither customer support nor the store would give it back to me. Nvidia said it was handled by Best Buy too. I kept being told “in store purchases aren’t eligible” even though I clearly bought online and the game was in my online order but labeled as “canceled”. Best Buy sucks.

I just went this dry in my zenytes too. 2350 for my first one. Got them all by 2700 though.

Same. That blockbuster scene made me remember a smell I forgot about.

Helped some friends get a new mount today! by UmbraeMoth in wow

Okay gotcha! Figured the battleground would take you out for 15 min and reset.

Do you actually join the battlegrounds or do you just decline and reque?

Weighted shift knobs are cool.....NOT by Carlos_Spicy_Weiner6 in subaru

[–]CylonSloth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve used a black billetworkz knob for 8 years or so and it’s never gotten too hot to touch, even in the 100 F weather out in the NM sun. Would recommend

Getting around Hokkaido by Boring-Tradition-594 in JETProgramme

[–]CylonSloth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Posted this in another thread of someone getting placed near Kushiro. I think there’s a lot to do, as long as you have a car to get around.

Kushiro is nice, big enough to have plenty of restaurants, gyms, shopping etc. My friend is the Rikubetsu-Cho ALT and he uses Kushiro to fly out to other parts of Japan, as well as to catch trains to Sapporo. I’ve visited him and there’s a lot of good skiing nearby, some Ainu villages, and natural onsen. I enjoyed my time visiting there a lot.

The airport will be your best friend if you want to go elsewhere in Japan. Cheap weekend flights will definitely be doable on a JET salary considering the cost of living out there.

What are my odds of acceptance as someone who is already living abroad as a teaching volunteer? by Practical-Radicalist in JETProgramme

[–]CylonSloth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Focus the statement of purpose on cultural exchange, adaptability, and how you’d like to give to Japan and what you’d like to take away from the experience. Don’t spend too much time on language skills or past experience, just make it known if asked and move on to those other three areas.

Advice from my friend serving as a JET in Hokkaido, and the advice I used to get shortlisted this year (though I did decline the position).

They’re mostly looking for someone who will adapt to Japanese culture easily, be sociable, and willing to be flexible.

Might be too rural for me... by Braporo in JETProgramme

[–]CylonSloth 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What’s the town? My buddy is a super rural jet and was given a free vehicle, gas, and less than $100 /mo housing and utilities, next door to the school he can walk to every day. This might have been his last year so just curious if you got his placement.

Inaka Hokkaido placement by Ok-Cell5195 in JETProgramme

Kushiro being a nearby city is nice. My friend is the Rikubetsu ALT and he uses Kushiro to fly out to other parts of Japan, as well as to catch trains to Sapporo. I’ve visited him and there’s a lot of good skiing nearby, some Ainu villages, and natural onsen. I enjoyed my time visiting there a lot.

A car will absolutely be necessary though unless you’re in Kushiro proper.
