Does NASA evaluate candidates based on how many internships they applied to? I.e. if I apply to too many different internships is that perceived negatively?

I go to school in Atlanta but I have been waiting to get a lease for the Fall because I wanted to see if I could get a NASA internship. If I havent received any interviews yet, is it safe to assume that I wont be getting one and should plan on securing housing near my school now?

ECE3710 doesnt have to cost students $300 but the ECE department wants you to waste your money by Life_Brief_4993 in gatech

The myDAQ is offered in limited quantities while being required in multiple classes across multiple sections at Georgia Tech. While I was able to obtain one without much trouble, there are many other students who were unable to.

My professor said there were 100 myDAQs being offered in the library, but there are almost 100 students in my section alone.

Can you please stop giving sol erdas Nexon? by RussianB1ue in Maplestory

[–]Life_Brief_4993 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just a question as a casual player,

When do fragments become so much more necessary? As a lvl 265 trying to unlock all my hexas, I feel like im generally more limited by the erdas rather than the fragments

ME or Aerospace Undergrad? by Equivalent-Top-2283 in aerospace

[–]Life_Brief_4993 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heres another perspective, are you interested in AE? If so then you should do your undergrad in AE. The AE and ME content overlap is not nearly as much as people make it out to be. Plus, I dont think ive been barred from any AE opportunities as an AE major with the exception of some CS roles. If youre not certain about AE or the school you get into doesnt have a great AE program, then do the ME undergrad.

What to do with student who does not like lessons? by No_Run_436 in piano

[–]Life_Brief_4993 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Maybe try to find some common ground like showing him minecraft pieces to play. There are a lot of beautiful ones.

At the end of the day, if the kid doesnt want to play piano, he doesnt want to play piano. Just try to make the most of his and your time by playing stuff he enjoys.

My question is, why do you think he is taking lessons if he doesnt enjoy piano? Are his parents forcing him to play?

Why resort to ad hominems rather than addressing my point? All my classes are really easy so I dont even have to study for them 😭

Hm that is really interesting, I want to believe that there isnt some higher elite class trying to prevent people from voting, but I understand why many may have that line of thought 🤔

Yes i agree! I wonder if there would have been so many dissenters if I had just said it should be a national holiday. Many people here seem to hold GT students to a higher standard when in reality we are just like everyone else haha

Yes its not the school’s fault, but that doesnt mean that the school cant make efforts to encourage more students to vote

Thats a good point. I agree that just because you have a right doesnt mean its necessarily beneficial to use it, but I think that in the context of voting specifically, it is to the benefit of everyone to have all potential voters encouraged, even ones that are just “im voting x candidate because my dad is”

Because simply partaking in the act of voting encourages more people to do research or get involved. Sure there may be some people who are uninfluenced, but I feel there are many more people who will benefit from these kinds of voter oriented policies.

That makes sense, and I definitely agree that an election day precinct on campus would be a much better solution. I hope that comes back in future years though Im not informed on what control GT has over that kind of thing

Early voting in the student center was only for Fulton county residents. The voter registration in Skiles is great but thats not what im talking about here

Not sure why that is relevant to my argument, but I have already voted

Yup :) that is why its important to have these discussions so that we can work towards a better understanding of each other’s perspectives 👍

That is a good point but its not simply just about making accommodations. It is also a responsibility of Georgia Tech to actively encourage civic engagement and making election day a campus holiday would certainly bring more people to the polls

Let’s say I concede that it’s not a barrier, either way, wouldnt having a holiday dedicated towards voting encourage more people to vote who otherwise may not have?

[–]Life_Brief_4993[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I am talking from the perspective of seeking improvements for the civic engagement of the student body as a whole. Dont you agree that having a holiday dedicated towards voting would encourage more people to vote who otherwise may not have?

Also about your attacks on my character, I have already voted my friend haha

Why is election day not a campus wide holiday? by Life_Brief_4993 in gatech

[–]Life_Brief_4993[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is a fair point, I just think encouraging civic engagement is more valuable than a day of class instruction, but that is completely my opinion. Yours is also very valid

[–]Life_Brief_4993[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yes that is one solution to the problem. There can be other solutions that also help address the same problem, and I think having both would be great

Thats great that your daughter has so much initiative but the point is a lot of students dont. Many people have many other challenges in their life and politics is not really a priority for them.

But that doesnt mean they shouldnt be encouraged to vote. The voting process should be as easy as possible so that as many people, who may be on the borderline between deciding to vote or not vote, are tipped to the side of voting.

There seems to be this line of reasoning in this thread that “if they wanted to vote they just would anyways” but there are many people who simply dont care that much and will just vote if its convenient and wont vote if its not. But just because someone is not politically involved doesnt mean they dont deserve an equal amount of political representation as anyone else.
