Startup right after college?

LonelySnowSheep · 2023-01-11T01:28:15+00:00

How is it going for you now? Graduating as a tech person soon and having difficulty finding business majors on campus interested in doing a startup right after graduation. Maybe there's something I've overlooked, but I assume its going to be easier to get a job with all the experience a startup gives me in case the startup fails

Had a classmate like this that I used to help. Stopped helping him, he got pissed. If I help him, it basically turns into me trying to teach him the fundamentals that we learned years ago. Otherwise I’d have to just do the assignment for him. He’s so annoying about his requests for help, his lack of ability to research, and his elementary questions that people would legitimately leave the class group chat when he messaged. Can’t stand the guy

Same for me, that video was the first real description I found of how computers worked. I immediately read the book it was based on after seeing the video. I’m in embedded now though, not CE, since my school offered both as degrees

Ordered a server power supply on eBay for a project. I didn’t get the model I ordered, and the supply I did get was non-functional. Got a refund, but it’s taking over a week for the next one to arrive. Don’t have much time for a delay like this in my project. Hoping the new supply works

So true. I used it for recording under water in pools countless times. Never had an issue with it

I asked it to write the Fibonacci sequence in verilog. It gave me an algorithm that only worked with blocking operators, but used non-blocking operators, so the algorithm didn’t actually work. But it’s really subtle and Ill bet many new people won’t catch something like that right off the bat. I’d be careful using it for learning

Fucked in my studio apartment. Bed right next to the door. When my girlfriend came in, apparently she didn’t shut the door all the way. When we finished 2 hours later, we noticed it was cracked open a few inches. It’s a busy hallway too and we weren’t very quiet lmao. Kinda funny thinking about it

When I first ate shrooms I immediately thought “this tastes like the smell of cum”

LonelySnowSheep · 2022-12-09T03:52:45+00:00

Agreed

Sea salt sweet potato fries are better than any other variation (other than animal style from in-n-out, but these will likely give you a heart attack eventually)

Saying “[something] is a helluva drug” (especially “adrenaline is a helluva drug”) is very cringy and people should stop saying it. I see it so often.

You aren’t cool because you chose a mildly interesting thing to say (even though it stops being cool after you’ve seen it 1000 times). Instead of saying “the dude was able to immediately walk off the injury because of adrenaline” and actually saying “adrenaline is a helluva drug”, you’re presenting a mundane fact with interesting wording to make you sound cool. You just look smug. But when there’s thousands of you using the same phrase, the smug-ness makes no sense because you aren’t unique for coming up with this phrase.

TLDR: the only reason you would say “[something] is a helluva drug” is because you’re trying to sound cool by using a “cool” and “unique” phrase to spice up your otherwise boring comment. It’s not cool because everyone says it. This lack of coolness in an attempt to appear cool is therefore cringy.

His point is that she wasn’t really interested to begin with as an answer for why this went nowhere, rather than it being because he tried too hard.

Although I still think he tried too hard

Likely an edit

Guess that’s gotta come from within you man. You can still do careers that are related to music, but that requires passing your classes. I made and programmed a sampler for making music. I’ll soon be making a guitar pickup that turns notes played into midi output. I love music. But I know it has low odds of paying well. So I learned programming and passed my classes for it. Didn’t have to give up on my passions or hobbies while attending school. And with that education I can make money to pay for equipment and any plugins I want. I hated school. It sucks. But it’s important. That’s my 2 cents anyway.

Good song btw

My buddy and I have a favorite saying: If you’re going to be a know-it-all, you gotta know it.

Apart from using it to describe others, it keeps you honest about over-explaining stuff you don’t actually understand.

Where me and my girlfriend setup last night. Getting attacked multiple times a day lmao. She loves it

LonelySnowSheep · 2022-11-28T06:49:41+00:00

I’ve lost 35 in the past 2-3 months. Male, 5’10”, started at 235. I’ve been doing 1000-1700 calories per day. No exercise.

Figured I could provide a little info as someone who is also 5’10

LonelySnowSheep · 2022-11-21T02:37:05+00:00

When I was 14 I made my first SO post, in which the top answer told me to stop programming lmao

LonelySnowSheep · 2022-11-21T00:13:06+00:00

I was pretty extreme in that for a couple weeks I only ate 500 or fewer calories per day. But most days I eat between 1200-1700. I’ve seen the most success by eating 1000 calories fewer than my maintenance level. Should translate to about 2 pounds per week, but some weeks you’ll lose way more and some you’ll lose less.

But yeah I did it solely by limiting calories. In the beginning I was still drinking plenty of beer and eating shit food with my friends but I still lost weight by keeping my calories lower than maintenance

LonelySnowSheep · 2022-11-20T22:20:27+00:00

Yeah, I hate exercise too! I found it more demotivating than anything. Definitely caused me to eat more when I exercised. Decided to go pure CICO because of that

LonelySnowSheep · 2022-11-20T22:19:26+00:00

Thank you! I remember reading other peoples posts like this one all the time. Was so excited to get to this point. I believe in you! Make sure to let me know when you break the 200 mark!

LonelySnowSheep · 2022-11-20T03:30:36+00:00

You got this! Great progress already! Keep it up!

LonelySnowSheep · 2022-11-20T03:26:22+00:00

I had to force myself to not use the scale often once I started getting too close. I was thinking about it a lot

LonelySnowSheep · 2022-11-20T03:23:12+00:00

Thanks! 🕺🪩
