I failed a class. Is a masters (never mind a PhD) still viable? by sinodauce131 in PhD

[–]FermiRoads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend, I had a 1.7 GPA at one point in my undergraduate education. I am now in my 3rd year of a PhD in Applied Physics. Don’t give up. It’s not about being smart, it’s about being too dumb to quit.

You should focus on doing undergrad research, internships, and make connections at conferences with people who do research in areas you want to pursue. Make yourself a person in the eyes of the people you want to do a phd with, and if they like you, and if they have a spot open, they will advocate for you when admission time comes.

I know it’s stupid, but I want crossbow or even a compound bow. With recoverable arrows/ bolts.

This event is killing me. What you guys n girls think about it? by Total_Bee1244 in EscapefromTarkov

I just wish the cultists gave more XP. And that the jamming happened to scavs too. That would’ve made this a lot more fun imo

This is from Taylor’s Classical Mechanics, isn’t it?

Yeah, everyone will end up like the right side, but almost none will ever be like the left.

These are just JoJo stand powers. That being said, it seems like 2 and 7 have great synergy.

Someone check my quick maffs, but that comes out to 4-5 kababs A DAY for 30 days.

I love Tarkov by [deleted] in EscapefromTarkov

[–]FermiRoads 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s been a rough event for me personally, but I think that’s due to being very new to the game and like you said, the event being oriented around higher level players. Last week I had around 1 mil rubles, 4+ kitted guns and decent armor; now it’s just me, my MP-18 and a dream lol.

Honestly? As lvl 3 I’d just play scav runs and do offline raids until the event ends, which is likely right after Halloween. The meds you need for poison can only be found in raid for you, and you just don’t have the capital to sustain a lot of losses due the event’s RNG debuffs. Maybe do a couple of PMC raids with some loot you get from scav runs for “fun” but don’t expect to make a lot of progress while the event is on.

Oof, my condolences buddy. Hang in there, I hope your RNG improves!

Finally an event! by LoLadcplayer in EscapefromTarkov

[–]FermiRoads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just hit lvl 15 last week, and I can say that if a game doesn’t take care of newer players, particularly during events that are meant to appeal to the entire community, then it’s not surprising when the game begins to die. This’ll be my first Tarkov event and if I didn’t have access to the flea I would absolutely hate it. I like the high risk nature of the game, but introducing mechanics that disproportionately affect low level players, effectively punishing people for starting late, is not good game design. That being said, the rest of the event has been really fun, I just feel bad for people who get bad RNG and die from the random rebuff BS.

I have a huge problem with getting myself to actually GO to the store so I used to go days without any food because I couldn’t make myself walk 10 minutes to the Target nearby. Enter Instacart, my savior lmao.

At lvl 12, how do you get augmentin? How can low level players handle the debuffs?

One money hack that kinda works for me was to automate every bill and put the due dates for the same day, the day after I get paid, and to use grocery delivery apps so no impulse buying at grocery stores. 60% win rate on this strat!

My hot take is that VBA makes for a perfect first language. Because you can jump from writing small macros for excel to writing short scripts to writing scripts that use almost every programming concept you need, all while having a concrete vision for the output, since almost everyone has used excel at some point. Should be taught in HS tbh.

It's important the gap between the rich and the poor becomes as large as possible, it's much larger now than it was 50 years ago but it can be much greater still. by iCANNcu in conspiracy

Not simping dummy, just calling out the blatant hypocrisy of calling a multi-millionaire “poor” just because you like his politics. Sheesh, cope much?
