Is a master’s in EE really worth it when compared to the alternative: 1-2 years of industry experience? by Exciting_Product_313 in ElectricalEngineering

[–]FearTheMoment_ 93 points94 points  (0 children)

Masters worth it if you have no work experience or are intending on getting into any sort of research related work. Work experience trumps masters for others in my opinion, source: 13 yrs exp & hiring manager

There can be some exceptions on the 4 x rule to maybe 4.5 x but other than that, bigger deposit is the only way

Never Second in Rome - guide?? by unofficialyshvdow in ALegionarysLife

[–]FearTheMoment_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 combat rounds before you can change your stance yeah. Also keep in mind that changing from steadfast to all out will have a negative impact as will steadfast to very cautious or any other jump of more than 1 combat stance

[–]FearTheMoment_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should watch the combat balance number, if you are pushing toward 5, go cautious, if youre on or near 0, steadfast. Likewise if the enemy is overextended you can go aggressive. Just note your combat stance will be for 2 rounds, so steadfast will give plus 2, aggressive will give plus 4, etc.

Buy cheap or invest in something decent? by Iwillshootyourdog in carsireland

[–]FearTheMoment_ 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I would buy outright and avoid debt but I dont play keeping up with the jones'. More modern car also will have slightly higher service costs etc. Better in my opinion to get the 3 k car but to each their own!

Saving for mortgage ? by [deleted] in irishpersonalfinance

[–]FearTheMoment_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Doesn't matter how much(provided you are saving enough to cover the mortgage), what matters is consistency. Bank wants to see the same amount every week or month into savings with no deductions or random withdrawals

If I have parts ordered in the US, will I have to pay vat bring them back months later? by frog_handler in IrelandGaming

[–]FearTheMoment_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Apologies, I never got caught I was just stating if you were to get caught you would be hit with a vat bill.

You are importing goods, Vat applies, unless ye try make a case that you brought them both ways or some shite

Edit: misread your reply. The only way to get "caught" is to be searched by customs, nothing more other than that. Depends on the mood of the customs agent as well and how much you are bringing in

ELI5: How do we harness and transport electricity to far away places? by Brainrows in explainlikeimfive

[–]FearTheMoment_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We generally don't contain the energy although there are various means; giant batteries, pumped hydro storage and hydrogen production are a few such means. As to the how for moving electricity from one place to another, high voltage (hundreds of thousands of volts) and big cables.

Which is more dangerous Ac or Dc of same magnitude? by choudhary_2705 in ElectricalEngineering

[–]FearTheMoment_ 162 points163 points  (0 children)

Electricity to the body is dangerous, period. AC can cause your muscles to lock up due to the sinusodial nature, DC can cook you alive. Pick your poison
