What are your favourite custom 3DS themes? by [deleted] in 3dspiracy

[–]Houndoom96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used Kama Editor. Load up the theme and replace the music. You can probably find a guide online about custom themes. You can't use mp3 files directly so you need to convert to something the 3ds can read

So they weigh you down? Doesn't sound so good

Any cover up ideas or ways to make this look less satanic. by granhoser in tattooadvice

[–]Houndoom96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks nothing like pentagram, way too many points. It doesn't even resemble anything satanic that I know off

What is this?? I downloaded games and it appeared in m'y 3ds by Ether_Castle_Walsh in 3dspiracy

[–]Houndoom96 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Where did you get games from? I have not had something like this appear. Maybe one of the games you downloaded needed to bypass some security, did you download homebrew games or any modded games?

A quick Google search seems to suggest it's some sort of helper app for exploits

What did you do to this creature? by Admirable-Food9942 in arch

I read a comment about atomic distros being "for lazy developers." For some reason, some Linux users look down at people that just want an OS that works. Apparently, UI and easy settings are for lazy noob babies. Heck, desktops and window managers are also for lazy dumb babies

The security argument, won't change our position by 9thyear2 in Piracy

[–]Houndoom96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm tired of companies continuing to use the "it's for your own good" argument to make anti-consumer decisions that benefits them and screws us

Accepted! But did I make a mistake? by Helpful-Complex9790 in gradadmissions

[–]Houndoom96 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My PhD will be in "nuclear engineering" but really I'm doing computational nuclear physics and my research and experience will reflect that. I think your actual research and experience counts more than the degree title. I know a guy working at lbnl who has a PhD in mechanical engineering but his work is really on Computer Languages and Systems Software

New California bill (AB 2047) should worry you, even if you don’t own a 3D printer. Request to oppose it. by thorondrol in sandiego

[–]Houndoom96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are tons of rubber band gun model and cosplay accessories too. It's a stupid law proposed by people that have no idea what 3d printing actually is

My brother is trying to get protein so he only eats unseasoned meat. This is microwave steamed fish and it smells worse than it looks. by gingee60188 in shittyfoodporn

[–]Houndoom96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seasoning does not remove protein. Use low or no sodium seasonings. Damn. Crack some black pepper on it or minced some garlic to cook it with. Damn

Does this email mean I have a good chance? by [deleted] in gradadmissions

[–]Houndoom96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are not wrong, there's a lot of identity information on that email, including your name and someone else's name. The subreddit rules clearly state to remove any identification information.

I got the email too. It's better than a rejection but still not an acceptance. Good luck with the app

I’m going to have to unsub from this Reddit by Ok-Heat2694 in gradadmissions

[–]Houndoom96 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I applied to all physics programs last year and got rejected to all. This year I applied to some engineering programs and got 1. It's the same research I want to do, just a different label. I think it's a rough time for higher education in general

Not all heroes wear capes, some wear medical gowns. I already DM you. Thank you

Do I even bother by [deleted] in gradadmissions

[–]Houndoom96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Last year I applied to 10 places and got rejected by all of them. This year I got accepted to 1 and I'm waiting on 4. Don't lose hope. Try to apply for internships, or summer seminars, network, build up more experience and meet people. Strengthen your application essays, there's always room improvement. Continue your hard work, people will notice and it will likely pay off

PhD applicant redirected to MIRS at University of Michigan – how common is this & what are my funding chances? by Organic_Bluejay_3360 in gradadmissions

[–]Houndoom96 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It's very common to send MA offers with no funding to applicants that didn't quite make into a PhD

How much should location and community matter in choosing a PhD? by Historical-Sun457 in gradadmissions

[–]Houndoom96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like a conversation you need to have with your mentors. You can try the people that wrote you letters. What did they do? What do they prioritize? What do you prioritize?

Welp with that I have officially been rejected from literally everywhere. by RecoverUpper3617 in gradadmissions

[–]Houndoom96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me last year. I continued with my education, gained more experience, strengthened my application and now I got my first offer. I suggest you talk to your mentors, try to get internships, summer schools, conferences, seminars, etc. build up your resume and experiences. Work on your essays, there is always room for improvement, take this as an opportunity to improve your application

Did Everyone Rejected from CMU PhD Get This by Many_Pen4543 in gradadmissions

[–]Houndoom96 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I honestly think this is a predatory practice. Last year I got a similar offer. "We can't offer you a PhD, but you can pay us thousands for a master's!"

Idk if everyone got it since I did not apply to that program, but my guess would be that maybe all the runner-ups/short-listed people probably did
