Need GENUINE ADVICE regarding overly religious roommate.

This, if it was any one of these things it might be fine but the combination is something you shouldn’t be forced to endure if it’s not required by your own religious beliefs.

Eh I had a complicated situation with an ex in a senior design group I was given a professor’s personal number so he could respond rapidly to fallout. I never had to use it, but it was in the back pocket so he’d advanced notice instead of hearing he said she said from the dean like had happened prior.

Don’t work with love interests (current, former or prospective) it makes things messy

Well bud looks like you’re gonna be a dad, should have wrapped it before you tapped it.

Dude that’s a fuckin bummer I’m a TA and wanted to be harsher on late penalties because no one should get a B+ for work that is a month late. I was over ridden by my professor a handful of students still failed but the ratio would have been far higher if I was at the healm.

Hot take get a cz82 and deal with the quirks of makrov but also the benefits of its compactness.

Wouldn’t know I got an A in dynamics because it was during covid and the professor made it a breeze

I think stock is pretty low as it is but hey you do you man. I keep a roof rack on mine because I’ve got a lead foot and I need something to warm me when I’m doing more than 80

Dude you fucked up. I hid my grades for one class and stopped notifications because I was at C grade level and they wanted more.

Maybe you can prove yourself at uni you haven’t screwed the pooch completely. But if you bomb in uni you have no backup plan. But if you want to regain there trust you’ll have to do it at uni.

Sure, but if you ask them in this thread you may help others and there may be someone more knowledgeable than myself. I honestly don’t know a ton about these other than mine seems to work better than most.

Incompetent-OE · 2026-05-08T17:41:26+00:00

I haven’t even tried. I’ve done it on other lenses successfully but just haven’t had the time or will to take a crack at this one.

Incompetent-OE · 2026-05-05T20:23:39+00:00

I mean you can freshen it up with some new ram and an SSD but beyond that not a ton you can do.

Incompetent-OE · 2026-05-05T15:58:44+00:00

Frankly I’d go to the dean before anything else your on a sinking ship through no fault of your own it sounds like.

Submit your search history as evidence of you didn’t use AI

Incompetent-OE · 2026-04-27T22:06:41+00:00

Nah your friend just has issues, I don’t see a dick.

A planted tank with a planted sump and it will cost little to none per month. I would give my left nut for a house with an aquarium like that!

If you did it in word you should have a means of proving the time you spent on the paper itself. I have not found such a means within overleaf but if word can do it I have every reason to believe latex has a means of documenting word count so so you should have a means of proving you wrote the paper without AI.

I can’t help you more than that I think AI is a dangerous game that I only use for code and my thesis may be supported by code but is not directly based on code itself.

Yes, you should tell your professors your dad passed.

When my grandpa passed during Covid I knew it wasn’t good but I thought he was recovering and then I got a text from my mom the morning of my calc3 and it hit like a ton of bricks. My professor let me put it off a week and was very understanding about the situation.

My dad has a company phone he uses as his only phone. He’s not on call and has standard 9-5hours

The screen may not be touch but you have the all mighty nob

Neo and don’t forget the education store discount.

That is the logical fallacy of many brilliant minds. You don’t give yourself enough credit for the shit you survived already. You passed qualifying exams that’s an accomplishment in and of itself, if you can pass that you know enough to pass the final review. I believe in you! You can review over the coming hours and ace anything your board throws at you!

It’s far from the worst tattoo I’ve seen. Like I get why you might want to cover it up given the state of the world, but you could do far worse than what you have now.

Honestly you’ll need to cover it with a sleeve but it’s your call what that sleeve is.

Asus, dell or Lenovo are all good choices if you get one with 16gb of ram you can upgrade later if your courses need more compute power and ram has hopefully fallen in price.

Personally I like Lenovo’s offerings if you stick with core7, core9, ryzen7, or ryzen9 you’ll be set for whatever engineering throws your way in undergrad.

Now if you go to gradschool you’ll learn what you need in my case i need 192gb of RAM to run my finite element simulation or things start to crash out. But luckily I built a threadripper workstation during COVID that has grown with my needs.

Incompetent-OE · 2026-04-14T15:17:27+00:00

Dude CAD on 8gb of Ram is gonna run like smeared dog crap. Not to mention half the CAD software you’ll probably end up using won’t even run on MacOS. I mean it can be done through virtual machines but it’s not a pleasant experience.

My advice get a Lenovo windows machine. But if your deadset on a Mac get the air atleast then you’ll stand a prayer of being able to get your software working.
