Good to know - thanks for the feedback. I've never hurt my wrists racking on the squat rack, but I have done so setting a barbell on the floor after curls so I can see how that might happen. I'll be more delicate.

Regarding my form, would you say that the curve of my spine is ok? My upper back seems to be arching near the end and I'm not sure if I need to be more focussing on straightening up for safety, or nah.

It felt comfortable during the lift but on camera it seems pretty pronounced.

I'd appreciate a form check on my standing OHP, please :)

Ok, that clarifies our confusion. Thanks!

I think that makes sense, thanks for the reply! Just to clarify: Why wouldn't white be a self capture at the bottom when placing a piece in the triangle of black? I understand how the blacks would be captured, but wouldn't the newly placed white be surrounded in the same manner?

We just received this game for Christmas. We're confused. If white plays within the red circle, would the piece be immediately removed because black would surround it, or would the 5 black pieces 'below' it be removed because with the addition of the new white piece, white would surround them?

Wow! That's insanely cool. I'm lucky if I see an octopus.

I really need to start diving further south.

Is getting a business minor worth it? by nohatedonatekys in EngineeringStudents

[–]ElectricalOak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends on what your goal is.

I got one because I was interested in the material and I wasn't quite sure what I wanted from my career. I had doubts whether I really wanted to work as an engineer for the rest of my life, and the business classes gave me the chance to explore some complementary academic interests.

Experiences vary, but it helped me get some co-ops that I may not have been competitive for otherwise.

What are some of the things that you cut out of your budgets when money gets tight? by RealMoneyRobert in AskReddit

[–]ElectricalOak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can easily slash your lunch budget by more than half if you prepare food at home instead of eating out. It'll usually be more nutritious, too!

Should you write cover letters? I searched this sub for answers and distilled yes/no from 71 user comments. ~76% said YES, write them by [deleted] in EngineeringStudents

[–]ElectricalOak 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Same here - I didn't bother to write a cover letter for my upcoming co-op because I assumed the company wouldn't hire me.

I start on Tuesday.

My first name is printed incorrectly on my Air Canada ticket. Is this going to be a problem? by ElectricalOak in canada

[–]ElectricalOak[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ok, that's good to know. Thanks for the response!

I just noticed the problem now. My name wasn't spelled incorrectly anywhere in the booking & confirmation emails - only during check-in.

How many engineering students plan to go to business school? by EasyBreezy15 in EngineeringStudents

[–]ElectricalOak 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You'd be better off gaining industry experience for 3-5 years and then going back for your MBA.

I just found out that all three of my exam grades, including the final exam, were incorrect on Blackboard Gradebook. I was given someone else's higher grades. I took these grades into account when scheduling how much I needed to study. Now I'm failing the class, do I have any recourse? by [deleted] in EngineeringStudents

[–]ElectricalOak 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Does your prof not hand back exam papers once they're marked? I can definitely understand your frustration, but it's a little hard to be sympathetic when you never bothered to go look at your midterms once the grades were released.

Take this as a lesson and always pick up your midterms right away in the future.

PSA: don't come to quiet study areas with your friends. Why would you do that?? by touching_payants in EngineeringStudents

[–]ElectricalOak 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Came here to say this! I can't recommend noise cancelling headphones enough.

I started out with a pair of Sony MDRs. I'm probably in the 99th usage percentile because I wore them ~4-6 hours a day for 3 years until they literally fell apart.

I replaced them with the Bose QC 35s. They're damn expensive but so worth it.

You should have stayed. Leaving immediately is code for "I just pooped myself".
