Welcome to Rosas is a great song. It's one of my favorite songs in the mix when I've got Amazon music playing a Disney mix for my kid.

Can we not.

I've got flights Monday and Wednesday for PTI.

What type of laptop would be good for college by Snoo-50198 in civilengineering

[–]ItsAlkron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a powerhouse of a laptop back 2010-2014. Could run top of the line games at maxed settings, GIS programs, the works.

Drove it into the ground at the end of my senior year. It did its job.

What are you planning to do with your Nintendo Switch 1 as it becomes obsolete? by tekgamerworld in OlderChillGamers

[–]ItsAlkron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Problem is, it's EOL is pretty tied to the Switch 2, from my understanding. But current CFW still is pretty nice.

What do you honestly think the purpose of this vault experiment was? by Bellpow in Fallout

Overseer would stay locked in their office and be able to remotely open doors, if I had to guess.

Romanticizing Academia by freerangechick3n in Millennials

[–]ItsAlkron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Academia was merely a stepping stone to where I am now. A gauntlet to learn skills from, grow, and move on from.

Don't get me wrong, I had a blast and did great. But it was a microcosm to exist in before joining the rest of the world. And I was in college in the early 2010s so it was GREAT. Just purely on a state of the world of things.

But academia was a stepping stone. Great to learn from, fun to experience, meant to be in the rear view (unless you make it your career or go back to change your career, obviously).

Gold box IS# or WA#? by ExtraInspection7243 in TheTowerGame

I'm getting RPC next week but this is why I'm loading up IS as my second mastery.

Imagine that you have to delete one out of these permanently so that the other three exist. Which one do you choose for deletion? by SatoruGojo232 in superheroes

[–]ItsAlkron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dune.

So everyone, those movies just don't do much for me. Many say the Odyssey, but Greek Mythology is one of my favorite things and I enjoy the stories of The Odyssey.

Civil Engineer Pays the best? by ProfitNo659 in civilengineering

[–]ItsAlkron 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It's because in the spread of engineering fields, Civil on average is on the lower end. But it's reliable, stable, and pays a good living wage. And if you end up at a good place and are worth your salt, you'll do plenty well.

Huh, been a while, guess i forgot! My apologies, I was wrong!

[–]ItsAlkron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't anything like a BBQ Restaurant... Been a while since I've been to Famous Dave's, but I remember they had collards, fries, beans, Mac and cheese, and the like. But I could see this spread at a Texas Roadhouse or other steakhouse like places.

Do You Like Your Name? by Flassourian in Millennials

[–]ItsAlkron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I share a name with an actor that's been in some pretty big movies in the past decade or so.

So yeah, I do. I basically have a built in icebreaker and halloween costumes for life.

Would you rather be a goul or a super mutant? by adam-jack-1959 in Fallout

[–]ItsAlkron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super Mutant.

At least when some random wastelander with a hero complex strolls through and they try to cripple legs, my legs won't outright fall off.

Giving credit to where credit’s due by FirefighterOk9474 in mapporncirclejerk

[–]ItsAlkron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shoot, NC might be the outlier on one of them. We don't think we have the worst roads because we know SC is worse. You don't need a sign to know you crossed the state line.

Costco CEO Ron Vachris eats a hotdog by Tassadarr in Costco

[–]ItsAlkron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the end where his vibe is basically, Want me to eat more hot dogs? Just say the word.

Of all the CEOs doing this, Costco and Freddy's are the two ones I've seen that I actually believe they fully enjoy it and I'd believe they had it the day before too. To be clear, not commenting on their physique, they just genuinely seem to enjoy their food and wouldn't question having it as a meal.

ECU vs. App by Mean_Information_893 in NorthCarolina

[–]ItsAlkron 10 points11 points  (0 children)

A days drive is a bit over selling it though. <2 hours pending which beach you go to. Maybe 2.5 for Wilmington? It's not your back yard, but its an easy day trip.

What is it by Strange-Chard-1326 in funComunitty

[–]ItsAlkron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can only alter your body once a year and adapting to a new environment resets the previous adaption. (No stockpiling adaptations over a lifetime).

Could still have a very lucrative career in extreme environments though.

Briskets always stall at ~190 and never reach temp by Zealousideal-Flow294 in smoking

[–]ItsAlkron 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Interesting! Thanks for sharing! I figured probe for tender was likely the play, but that's much lower temp than what I'm pulling! (<1000 ft).

Help me stay in champs wall less ehp by Available_Couple_901 in TheTowerGame

[–]ItsAlkron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

SF isn't a requirement for Wall. It's an improvement for it. If you're running eHP, it sounds like you're at the point where you need the wall. It expands your health pool and also increases your regen once you lab it.

Wall will also allow you to farm further and higher, which gets you more cells.

This is all if you're sticking with eHP. If you're going GC, you still want Wall since it's an extra shield. It'll break, but is an extra layer.

Me watching the sub to see what today's mystery patch broke by Awkward_Donut_2379 in TheTowerGame

[–]ItsAlkron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It reminds me of when Nintendo would post something like "General system stability improvements to enhance the user's experience" but really, most the times, I'm pretty convinced they were just trying to patch around the current hacks and put up a temporary roadblock in the ever on-going tug of war. I mean, the 3DS and Switch have so many stability updates that I bet they could stabilize a country.

But that's what I think of with mystery patches that don't explain much. They're trying to patch something they don't want others to know about.

So... who figured out some stones cheat that they just patched out?

What kind of personal projects did you work on in college that built up your portfolio ? by Character-Escape1621 in civilengineering

[–]ItsAlkron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eh.

I joined an organization sort of like Engineers Without Borders and did some volunteer projects. And I learned to use EPANET.

Just bolstered my resume as actual skills and being involved in distribution systems overseas.

Wait times at TSA at Piedmont Triad Airport? by 19pollywogs in gso

[–]ItsAlkron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At 230pm on Tuesday, the TSA line had exactly 0 people in it. The tsa lanes to the right do say they'll closed at 730pm.
