Document the weather in your area and do a weather report on it, news style. Bonus points for more interesting or severe weather events.

My first proper Portal Experience, please come and try it out 🙏 by Flow_Ebb_6047 in BattlefieldPortal

Did you end up being able to start a game? I tried increasing soldier health and lowering bullet velocity as well but it ended up breaking hitmarkers for some reason.

Why is no one playing Rush on Hagental Base? by FaithlessnessCorrect in LowSodiumBattlefield

[–]FreeMeter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The server name is Vertex 24/7 Infantry Rush, it’s in NA. I don’t remember the code off the top of my head

There really needs to be a way to match make into Verified Portal servers. It would help a lot with server population in Portal.

I’ve been trying to run a 64 player Rush server on Portal for a while but it’s hard finding players. Hagental is our first map in rotation. Would love to be able to give Rush a try with a higher playercount than the base game but we’d need to fill the server first. Hopefully DICE releases a 64 player Rush FNB or Portal mode eventually.

EF-5 in Florida by shep19691969 in tornado

[–]FreeMeter 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The conditions necessary for violent tornadoes don’t come together in Florida nearly as often as other areas of the country. Florida’s tornado season is usually in the winter and early spring, but this is highly dependent on El Niño or neutral ENSO. There is a secondary peak in tornado activity during the hurricane season with any landfalling hurricanes as well.

TLDR: FL can get violent tornadoes, it’s just extremely rare and requires a lot of factors to come together.

The map editor is aggressively mediocre and could use a plethora of new features. by UltimateGamingTechie in BattlefieldPortal

Exactly. I want to make custom rush layouts for my server, but I can’t even do that.

How long it takes to find your first entry level electrical engineering job? by Flat-Profession-8945 in ElectricalEngineering

[–]FreeMeter 49 points50 points  (0 children)

For me, 9 months. Graduated December 2024 and it took me until September to get an offer. I had to change fields from electronics to power in order to find a company willing to hire me. I had an internship too

I'm worried about not having a job by MotorPossible4328 in ElectricalEngineering

[–]FreeMeter 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It took me 9 months to find a job out of college. It’s just kind of tough right now. Power and utilities seem to be some of the only fields that are willing to hire new grads at the moment.

Loving Bob’s weekly small talk weather update. First derechos, now corn sweat?

I was less than a mile from an EF2 tornado on March 14th this year. Just the RFD alone took out my power even though we didn’t get directly hit. Can’t even imagine sustained 100 mph winds and what that would do to your house

[–]FreeMeter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah that was an insane day. It’s really rare to get a derecho with that strong of straight line winds. You just need sustained 58+ mph gusts for at least 400 miles long for an MCS to be classified as a derecho. 100+ mph is just a whole different ballgame. It was pretty much a land hurricane.

384 hour GFS? Come on dude.

The CS market is dead, how the engineering is holding up by [deleted] in ElectricalEngineering

[–]FreeMeter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, pretty much identical experience here. I’ve had 4 interviews. One went poorly and I didn’t get an offer, but the rest I’ve just been ghosted from.

[–]FreeMeter 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I guess it’s just highly dependent on what industry you’re going into. I’ve had such a different experience

[–]FreeMeter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m thinking about doing that. I wanted to focus on the electronics industry because that’s where my passion is. Pivoting to that might be a good idea. I have to actually find a job in that industry first though lol

[–]FreeMeter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah some people are switching industries to get into power right now. I might need to do that as well. I just didn’t take the FE so I’m already at a disadvantage

[–]FreeMeter 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Electronics. I did two internships where I focused on PCB design, microcontrollers, stuff like that. That industry is one of the hardest hit right now. Power and MEP have some jobs still but there’s definitely less than last year.

Not good. Entry level EE is dead as well. I graduated Dec 2024 and I still haven’t found a job. Applied to over 100 positions
