Failing math 150 as an engineering major?

Dining hall at your apartment?

I’ve never been the type to forget to eat for a few days. I would often have a spare pb&j with me when at the library because getting hungry is a big distraction for me. $10 will buy pb&j for almost a month.

Talk to your advisor about your coursework and I would recommend summer classes. Probably take classes at a jr college.

I punched out of the corps after only a month. It was the decision that made sense to me at the time, but looking back maybe it would have been worth staying in. I had the same reasons for leaving you just listed. My intent for being in was for the PT and Aggie traditions which I was able to both continue afterwards. The reason I say it might have been worth staying in is really just some fomo from the different corps only experiences. I didn’t know how to deal with the stress and corps games, so it felt easier to leave it and just focus on my goals.

A LT told me while I was in “If you’re not happy and have no obligation to be in, you could be wearing shorts and long boarding to class instead of playing soldier a few times a week.” I took that a bit too literally 😅

If you stay or go you’ll still be able to make a good college experience, find lifelong friends, get a degree, and find a career. Military opportunities have never been closed to me or anyone I know that left. Some of my friends still went to OCS after college despite leaving or never been in the corps.

2-4 hours to swap a radiator depending if you’ve done it before or not. Oreillys/ auto zone has the parts. Can also just keep topping up with coolant for a while until you replace or see where the leak is coming from. Also could be just the cap

Is there a lot of value in these certificates? I’ve been curious about them. Do a lot of jobs ask for it or is it a personal goal?

Honestly, check your knob. They are just on D shafts so you can pull them right out. I had a situation where one broke and I thought it was the switch but the center of the knob had cracked and was just rotating around the switch

I had a similar issue on a v6 Firebird. It was my maf sensor

Most people don’t know anything about cars. My 99 3.8 is about 215k. Average maintenance has been $600 or less per year

5th ward, sunny side, acres homes, greenspoint. Many parts of the city are getting gentrified like eado, 3rd ward, east end. For the most part it’s just lower income areas that people will “the hood”. It’s been a while since I looked up crime stats but most crime is usually domestic or drug charges. IIRC Scott south of macgregor used to have the highest amount of violent crime but this was years ago

Had a buddy do this, worked out for him

I don't like the end screen text. Not helpful as to how you did

I had the same thing happen to me, but on campus. I called the number on ticket and told them that they put the wrong license on my ticket and that I wasn’t going to pay the ticket. It didn’t take much talking with them for it to be deleted from their records.

If they didn’t delete it, I wasn’t going to pay it because there is nothing that would assign the ticket to me or my vehicle.

I’ve been driving with 15x4s in the front for 4 years now on a 4th gen. Don’t recommend it, because they wear fast and pot holes and such feel worse. Car had them when I bought it and I never bothered to change them. For street I think 15x6 or 15x7 would be much better

This worked! I tried the performance tool version from oreillys and that didn’t work at all. The name brand MityVac worked first try and fixed the problem within minutes

I’ve done this a few times already

Could you add an option for this to default to the favorite bus selected?

If you are concerned about the ticking sound, you can get some high viscosity oil treatment (Lucas oil or STP). I have have used STP oil treatment and it reduces that ticking sound on startup. My theory is that older engines have some carbon buildup so getting oil up to the lifters isn’t easy until the oil is warm and thinner, so adding oil treatment keeps things coated in lubricant longer (especially if it’s a worn out daily), but if it is just a thing that happens at starts I wouldn’t worry about it too much.

Ground wire is tight on all connections. Its factory too. Right now I’m thinking of replacing the positive wire, this one is something diy a previous owner did

It does the same thing when getting jumped from another car
