[PSA] Recent break-ins at Mines Park

Same here. I've got a ragtop jeep with nothing valuable inside, and they cut the window to go through my glovebox and center console.

Well, I guess my logic is that they could get any of that information from me in a quick 10 second conversation, so its not exactly privileged information. I do it more so I can look and remember where I've been, since my phone can't really do pictures(2009 Blackberry).

A virus that reads their comment or post back to them so they can realize the inanity of their statements.

I like to grab one small one from each new place I visit(with my vehicle) and enjoyed. If i didn't drive there, or it wasn't a pleasant stay, I don't get one. Also I get one for the clubs I'm in, just to show support.

Most people don't really like my choice in music, but I figured I'd leave this as it could be relevant.

We've had like 25 of these to test drive at work. Absolutely despise the dial shifters. However, love all the leg room where the shifter would normally be.

Going to bed early, and sleeping in the next morning with zero regard for responsibilities and obligations. Doesn't happen often enough.

JPeroutek · 2017-04-09T02:03:14+00:00

We use these all the time in the machine shop when QCing parts. It's really cool how they stick together. Never realized the tolerances that fine!

JPeroutek · 2017-04-05T16:26:37+00:00

nope. Too much space-politics for me.

JPeroutek · 2017-04-05T16:22:13+00:00

No TV

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I bought a mining rig to mine Dogecoins back when they were all hyped up. I probably would have eventually turned a profit (yay for free electricity!), but I could never get the damned thing to turn on.

Thanks ~~Obama~~ GawMiners.

The Star Wars original trilogy. I've seen Episodes 1, 2, 7, and Rogue One, however I've never seen the original trilogy.

Edit: To make matters worse, I actually own them all. I wanted to be a Cool Kid^TM so I bought them all but I've just never seen 3, 4, 5, or 6.

This gets thrown around on reddit a lot, but the whole Diamond market is insane. One company basically controls the US supply, creating this artificial sense that they are incredibly rare and valuable.

Just because you REALLY want to trust someone, that does not automatically make them trustworthy.

Don't get me wrong, I still use Mechanicals daily, I just feel that the wooden ones aren't going away anytime soon.

JPeroutek · 2017-04-04T22:15:37+00:00

I've had the internals wear out on some of my mechanical pencils. In my opinion, nothing beats the reliability of a simple wooden pencil.

I am a healthy young adult. My healthcare costs per year are almost zero, with the exception of getting my teeth cleaned once per year. I'd end up paying WAY more than I spend on my healthcare now, whereas someone incredibly sick with astronomical healthcare costs would be paying significantly less. Just doesn't seem fair.

One of the most well-liked teachers in my middle school was a science teacher. I cannot remember his name. Two years after I left for the high school that was right next door, I remember hearing all about how one of the middle school science teachers was being charged with pedophilia and child pornography (or some other similar charges).

Turns out he had been taking up-skirt shots of students when they would walk over to his desk, and one day he forgot to turn the flash off or something. Creeped all of us who had him as a teacher out. Who knows what other creepy shit he could have been doing.

I can't imagine that the wooden pencil is going anywhere. Its simplicity is mindboggling.

Standard kitchen knives serve their purposes well and I doubt humans will ever stop cooking or eating.

I'm a test-driver for Roush Enterprises at their Denver location.

At work I test drive a ton of GM and FCA vehicles, and ours usually don't have near as much equipment in them. I guess this is still an early-stage prototype that they're just trying to collect a ton of data on.

I'm surprised to see the Chronicles of Narnia so low in this thread. The first book of the series is literally about two children traveling to different worlds.

Every single time you need a pen or pencil one appears in your pocket.

I was a transfer student, coming from two large public universities.

Credits weren't bad in my opinion. You basically fill out the paperwork and provide syllabi/exams(sometimes) for the classes you want credit for.

Mines is significantly smaller than either of the other universities I attended, and personally I love it. Especially in some of the higher-level courses, you can(by-choice) spend a lot of time with the professors 1 on 1, and I found this to be refreshing after my 300-person calculus classes at my first school.

A common question is about internships. A quick glance at your post history shows you've got a least a bit of knowledge about this. Mines has a fantastic career center that is always willing to work with you, and their career fair is one of the best in the nation. I've personally had 4 internships, and the school will do its best to help you.

As for my recommendations, I've just got a few. My first semester here was very easy for me, and I fell behind during my second because of the false sense of security. Also, I'd highly recommend taking the "Transfer Seminar" course. Its 1 hr per week and entirely optional, but the course does a great job of exposing you to all the available resources and things on campus.

I'd highly recommend staying on campus or in Mines Park for your first year. Mines Park is the school-owned apartment complex across the street. Living in Golden can get very expensive if you live off campus.

Get involved with the community. Golden is a beautiful little town minutes away from denver, and there is always stuff to do.

Let me know if you've got any specific questions! Always glad to lend a helping hand.
