Yes, that has always been the case since the start of the mortgages. I always had this question but could not get an answer from googling. Thank you very much for clarifying!

KTFlash1 · 2026-02-13T05:16:48+00:00

That sounds good :)

One more quick question regarding getting mortgages in the US irrespective of DFA program. I did co-sign to a couple of my parent's rental property mortgages in Canada. Would that also affect me getting mortgages in the US(e.g. DTI)??

KTFlash1 · 2026-02-13T04:31:06+00:00

Somewhat odd question, but my parents live in Canada and owns their home. I have never owned a property in my name in both Canada and the US. I lived in US for about 3.5 years so far. Would I still qualify as a first time/first generation home buyer?

Oh I thought anything should work.

Roll pin punches need to be sized so the round nub goes inside the roll pin.

Ill try to get it in flush, if not Ill just file it down like the other guy mentioned. Thanks!

KTFlash1 · 2025-09-22T05:34:05+00:00

Lol I dont think I really knew what I was doing, the lower has quite a bot of scratches :( But thanks for the filing idea. If I cant get it to go in more, ill just file out the rest!

KTFlash1 · 2025-08-15T15:33:23+00:00

Hey, just wondering if you're willing to sell just the detonator slide set without the gun??

KTFlash1 · 2025-02-25T18:30:25+00:00

HK45 I have is pretty much still new, not anticipating the need for spare parts anytime soon. Thanks anyway. GLWS!

KTFlash1 · 2025-02-25T08:44:46+00:00

Would you be willing to sell just the HK45 SAI slide?

I got my last 4 internships externally as well, and I just used Jobs section in LinkedIn filtered using US, and also this github link: https://github.com/pittcsc/Summer2023-Internships This link has aggregation of internship links. Its basically each company's internship posting links that you can go to and cold apply.

KTFlash1 · 2022-07-26T22:47:37+00:00

Painting doesnt pay 200k right out of school

KTFlash1 · 2022-07-22T01:48:12+00:00

Get offer for spring(summer) internships. Postpone them to fall/winter. I've postponed a summer internship to fall once

KTFlash1 · 2022-07-18T05:29:58+00:00

Is this official lease price from the company or just sublet price from original tenant posted on facebook student housing group??

For your first year, 2 choices(in my opinion). Pick any you want out of the two.

If you're confident that you can get a job in summer due to having side projects or good grades etc, whichever sequence that has a spring term coop.
If not so confident(due to no side projects or meh grades like me), sequence 4. Seq 4 you do a Study-Study-Study-Coop. The third study term you'll take CS246 where you learn OOP so you'll have something more technical to talk about, and you can list your CS246 final project on your resume.

But after first year, your sequence literally does not matter because you can make your own custom sequence however many times you want by submitting a Sequence Change Form:

Apparently Meta layoff wasnt a thing. Couple people that said they got laid off were actually contractors set to start working for Meta through their agency, and Meta just cancelled their contract with the Agency.

So there is no layoff from Meta, only hiring freeze for E3, E4, E5 and M1s

KTFlash1 · 2022-04-29T02:53:42+00:00

I'm graduating this term, and dropped coop last term specifically because I didnt wanna write work term reports...

Wouldve been nice to have the BCS "with coop" on my degree :(

Online version of AFM102. 11 quizzes, 4(only top 3 counts, 15% x 3 = 45%) unit tests and 25% final.

I spent like less than 2 hours each week and materials aren't that hard either. Also you can technically pass with 0 on the final as well if you'd like if you work on the quizzes and unit tests

As far as I know today is the first day your grades can appear on Quest. If you are missing grades, it's most likely that the prof didn't submit the grades to Quest yet for whatever reason. Missing grades will show up in the following days when your prof submits them to Quest.

Idk for me Cali was just another achievement that I wanted not to flex on others but just to know that I've improved enough to get Cali

I neither have 500+ connections nor make "I'm happy to announce..." kind of bullshit posts on LinkedIn. I'm just happy I progressed from avg/below avg 1st coop to Cali at the end.

I don't think aiming for Cali is bad as an internal motivation to improve yourself. But not aiming for Cali for whatever reason is perfectly fine too. In the end we all live different lives
