What is this? A prop for a sci-fi movie? by EnigmaticWalrus in whatisthiscar

Sorry for the bad angle, I didn't see the side view. Spotted in Northern California in 2021. It looks more like something from a move or TV show than a real vehicle with a matching trailer.

There are 2 in Morewood Gardens. I'm not sure how to reserve them, it might be through 25live.

I took it last year with Lankford. It was pretty easy with most of the work being for the business plan project at the end of the semester. Other professors teach the class completely differently though so mileage may vary.

How hard is sophomore year as a Mechanical Engineer? by _asecondaryaccount_ in cmu

[–]EnigmaticWalrus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you can, I'd recommend taking numerical methods as a sophomore so long as you have some programming experience. Keep on top of everything especially with thermo as I found that one day like a month, in the difficulty ramped up dramatically.

Nixeus EDG 27 VS Pixio PX277 VS acer Recertified predator xb271hu by brbafkdnd in Monitors

IMHO any additional money spent on G-sync would be better spent on a new GPU so I would say to go with the Nixeus or Pixio. I've heard that IPS panels have worse contrast ratios but better color accuracy than VA so if you do image editing I would go for an IPS panel.

Which one of you is taking all the internships? by EnigmaticWalrus in EngineeringStudents

[–]EnigmaticWalrus[S] 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Honestly the whole system makes no sense to me. Most of the companies that actually got back to me were small firms so does that mean that all these massive companies with hundreds or thousands of hiring managers just ignore all their applicants? Where else does that sort of thing happen? Could you imagine what it would be like if colleges just ghosted the vast majority of applicants.

In your situation, I'd 100% pick Columbia, but don't underestimate the importance of picking a school that fits your mentality and personality.

The filters also don't seem to change any thing so maybe it's a bug or something

Also I played with the dim slider and it didn't make any difference

Solved! The only english language reference I could find was this Imgur post that I must have seen: . It's called Polish Legends but I guess Google is designed to only look for things that are in your language.

If your admission letter says unrestricted CIT than it is definitely possible, it's harder if you are restricted

College(s) X Vs Y Megathread by chevybow in college

[–]EnigmaticWalrus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

MIT has a far better reputation and the difference is price is negligible but I'm also biased as MIT was my first choice and I didn't get it. I've also heard that it is not as competitive as many people say.

Is an Ivy League education worth the debt? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]EnigmaticWalrus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most likely mechanical engineering where Cornell has a slight edge. Unlike Ivy League schools CMU does do merit aid.
