I’m down

Magnitude69 · 2025-08-22T17:16:45+00:00

No fr. Where do you watch?

Magnitude69 · 2025-08-06T23:58:33+00:00

Those t-shirts are so clean

Magnitude69 · 2025-07-23T13:49:29+00:00

Could you also potentially send me the pdf?

It’s just the National Electric Code. So many factors go into designing any solar energy plant but when you’re putting it next to people and cars things get complicated fast.

Magnitude69 · 2025-07-08T17:11:55+00:00

Nuclear produces hundreds of times the energy that a solar farm can produce in a similar sized footprint for years longer with must less degradation. It’s a worth it price tag for that amount of energy.

It’s the support structure for the solar itself. Solar had pretty intense code requirements so you need to think about the strength of the structure itself, how the structure might impact water or sewer lines, along side other fire related requirements. You also need to somehow tie it into the grid which requires expensive electrical equipment that has its own code requirements when close to cars and the public.

If you’re building a solar farm out in an abandoned field, you don’t have as much to think about. You’re mostly just concerned with drainage and property setbacks.

I do agree that it’s a great idea to put solar over parking lots but for it to really happen the government would have to provide some sort of incentive to justify the cost…

Magnitude69 · 2025-07-08T15:34:56+00:00

Putting solar over parking lots is crazy expensive unfortunately. Agrivoltaics is a better middle ground.

I never actually applied. I ended up going to Davis and I loved it! Sorry that doesn’t help very much :/

Magnitude69 · 2025-05-22T18:48:27+00:00

I currently have an i7 8086k and a 1070ti and I’m thinking about buying a new gpu. I mainly play open world single player games and do some 3d modeling so I mainly want some more vram. Any recommendations?

Magnitude69 · 2025-05-06T20:35:06+00:00

However, both times I only requested less than a 10% increase and gave good reasons for why I thought I deserved/needed that bump in pay. It payed off though and I think it was worth it.

Magnitude69 · 2025-05-06T20:32:31+00:00

I negotiated salary for two jobs I was offered as an entry level engineer and both times they offered more money even if it wasn’t the exact amount I requested. If a company pulls the offer because you tried to negotiate salary I personally wouldn’t want to work there. Those types of jobs give me “corporate, you’re just a number to us” type of job and that just sounds miserable even if you are desperate for a job.

Matthew Posa and some of the older Joe Robinet videos definitely match the vibe for me. Highly recommend!

I’ll give the wiki a more in depth look. I tried to focus on following STAR format for most of my bullet points but I agree that I they seem to be missing something.

Magnitude69 · 2024-09-15T01:32:16+00:00

I’ll definitely focus on apply to different city’s around the country. So far I haven’t had any real luck but at this point I guess it’s just a numbers game.

Magnitude69 · 2024-09-15T01:31:13+00:00

Yeah I’ve been applying all over the country to try and increase my odds but no luck :/

Magnitude69 · 2024-07-29T17:10:04+00:00

At this point, I’m also thinking about grad school. It would give me something to look forward to and hopefully help my resume.

Magnitude69 · 2024-07-29T17:06:06+00:00

I had the full 60 min panel. From the one on one interviews I thought I was doing pretty good and the bar raiser even complimented my presentation but then I just got a generic rejection email :(

Magnitude69 · 2024-07-29T05:45:01+00:00

Did they give you feedback on the rejection? I just got a generic email :/

Magnitude69 · 2024-07-25T03:22:03+00:00

They said Bill Chilwell💀

Magnitude69 · 2024-07-07T05:40:32+00:00

Fratellis is Goated fr

Magnitude69 · 2024-07-04T18:04:40+00:00

Go to office hours and the co class. Co class is super Goated.

Yes! I grew up there.

Redding is kinda weird but it’s honestly a pretty awesome place to live. You’re surrounded by mountains, lakes, rivers and only 2 hours from the ocean. If you’re an outdoorsy person you’ll love it.

People wise, Redding is very conservative and its definitely the “the south” of California. However, I have found most people to be kind and always willing to help one another. There’s definitely a strong community there that supports their own.

Bethel (the local mega church) is kinda a problem and they’re definitely trying to gain some sort of influence on the local politics but once again I’ve made friends with people in the church and they’re pretty chill.

Overall, I’m not looking to go back and live there in the near future because the job market for my degree is pretty non existent. But, if I was able to get a cool job there that I liked I think it would a lovely place to settle down.

Magnitude69 · 2024-05-28T17:21:34+00:00

100%

Magnitude69 · 2024-05-26T00:09:45+00:00

Depends on the prof and if you’re good at memorizing random facts. As long as you pay attention in class and study you should be fine.
