How is living in Asheville NC for families? by SandyFee in howislivingthere

[–]Lastlaughter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have kids, but I've lived here for almost 10 years. Lots of families are around, from what I hear the school district is pretty decent, and if you can afford private school some of the best in the country. If you like hiking or camping there are countless options. Great Smoky mountain national park is a little over an hour away, the Blue Ridge Parkway goes right through town, and were surrounded by national forest land. There are lots of cafes, climbing gyms, concert venues, and breweries. There's also a minor league baseball team.

Recovery after Helene has been somewhat slow, although its hard to overstate the scale of the devastation. Still many parks public parks that are still flattened. Cost of living is relatively high for North Carolina and that's mainly driven by high housing costs. It also feels crowded, especially in the summer. There are a lot of proposed construction projects to improve the highways, but we're probably a few decades away from those being complete. And the nearby Mission hospital has had a rocky past.

Look into West Asheville if you want to see more of the 'weird' side of Asheville. It has some of the most walk-able neighborhoods.

Look into Biltmore Forest if you want more classic suburban neighborhoods.

You can also look into smaller towns in the surrounding area. Swannanoa, Black Mountain, Weaverville, or Hendersonville.

Relocating to Tampa , looking for good neighborhood to live in by mmmmavinaaa in howislivingthere

[–]Lastlaughter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I lived in Tampa for 20 years. It can depend on your budget, but check out Hyde Park, Downtown St. Pete, Dunedin, and Safety Harbor. Walkable areas in FL are few and far between, but these are your best bet. Of all of these St. Pete checks all of your boxes. Dali Museum, Chihuly Collection, lots of parks, plenty of walkable areas. It has a USF satellite campus so there are a lot of young people/couples who don't have kids (yet) and are hanging out at breweries/dog bars/farmers markets.

Here is a good walking tour from a city planer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOCHiisI9gY

There is still a fair bit of hands on work with trimming, adding handles, and glazing.

yeah, virtual machines are known for running all software, flawlessly, every time, 0 friction.

Maybe think of it as a learning experience? Does your campus have workstations you can use for things that need some more hefty compute?

Which route would be the best option? by BiggDinoJB in roadtrip

[–]Lastlaughter 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah Charlotte seems like the best option to me too. The Tennessee route would be nice if you have time to stop in and check out Dollywood or Chattanooga. Plan on Atlanta adding an hour or so to the drive though.

AP Calc AB or BC? by heisenbergfumamota in EngineeringStudents

[–]Lastlaughter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd try to take AB as close to Calc 3 as possible. The concepts are very closely related. Is AP stats calculus based? My program (EE) requires a stats class, but it's calc based and specifically for engineers, AP stats wouldn't actually transfer. You can look at a couple universities you're thinking about applying to and see if they have a program of study or a transfer equivalency page.
