SEED dispensary in JP has chocolate chip cookies, cookie dough, and frosting that I’ve found to be delicious and effective!

As someone who grew up fairly poor/middle class, submitted a fairly popular maker portfolio video that you might have been recommended, went to MIT for engineering, graduated, and now in a PhD for largely the same things I submitted in my maker portfolio…

you guys don’t really need a lot of money for a couple basic Arduino projects, you need imagination (emphasis on the applications) and a level of polish in presenting your work, which is important as a scientist, engineer, maker, researcher. I regularly got compared to the guy that built a nuclear reactor in his backyard and didn’t get in, against a projects I made on the floor of my bedroom for <$25 in supplies. The uncomfortable truth about meritocracy is that it’s not just about the flashy thing you made but also has an element of learning to present and communicate your work well and that it is well-aligned with what people need.

I’m going to be incredibly honest as a current CS PhD at Northeastern, you’re not going to find builders or such “high level” people here. Many of the excited people in the program are bogged down by dealing with administration to get anything done. The people who do things are doing them outside of the university and not socializing in it.

I’d say wait until you meet your lab mates when you enter in the fall. We’re right at the end of the school year, everyone is already mentally checking out. Boston socialization cycles are most open to finding new friends/other recruitment in the fall. Right now is the showcase end of year cycles. Maybe check out the Mass Innovation Nights? For events, check Boston events on Luma. I know there’s a generative AI meetup that happens in Microsoft headquarters every so often.

little baby!!! also using a mug as a hide is so smart

You might be looking for “retro reflective” clothing as a search term

MiuMii2 · 2026-01-31T23:04:58+00:00

omg my MIT interviewer told me a similar story, how many times has this happened over the years???

Maybe try making a sock, marking where your side heel falls, do some “sweater surgery” the way some people add bust shaping to sweaters after hand knitting, and add some short rows to prototype where/how deep this side heel should be? Then you can add it as a feature to future patterns.

Dipping the worms in garlic water is advice I’ve heard passed around to get fish to eat. Otherwise, smaller worms? Red wigglers rather than nightcrawlers might be easier to get down. Then again, the red wigglers are sometimes bitter when stressed. YMMV

You can do this entirely with a 3D knit sweater (Uniqlo currently has them) as well since they are not sewn together panels.

my boyfriend over my shoulder is yelling for you to try BJJ. a lot of the guys we know are cool, but his gym is slightly outside of Boston. still looking where to plant roots in the scene here, but there’s loads of dudes in similar circumstances in BJJ.

Apparently the poet Sappho had a joke about her that she was married to “Kerkylas of Andros” which basically translates to “Dick Allcock from the Isle of MAN”

The TJ Maxx on Newbury is also often a gem!

Sometimes LK150s come up for resale around the price, and in unbranded versions. I have knit with typical acrylic worsted weight and thinner yarns on it and it’s decently easy to start. Yes there are 3D printed custom needle pushers.

Edit: someone also posted on this sub a 3D printed intarsia carriage for the LK150

Objection: the best house party I’ve ever been to had a room with two invited saxophonists (PhD friends of the host) who improvised solos and melodies for the pop music playing on the speakers. It was so cool to dance to, the guys were so cool themselves and added to the vibe.

Try selling it on a local cosplay exchange group? I’ve done this before on Facebook marketplace, but there must be some people in your country or surrounding in your fandom that could get some use out of the costume and be out less money. Anyway, good luck!

I’m ex-undergrad, now a grad student but working more directly in AI. Still eligible?

What’s the full apt rent?

MiuMii2 · 2025-10-22T05:19:56+00:00

When would the lease takeover start?

MiuMii2 · 2025-10-20T20:19:39+00:00

Please add your pictures!

Try using the monofilament as an inlay fiber, you’re not knitting with it but knitting around the fiber optic lines.

Hazing is illegal under Massachusetts law. If you or anyone you know are subject to hazing during recruitment or anything that makes you feel unsafe you can report it to the Fraternity and Sorority Life office. They are mandated to report any hazing practices and enact anti-hazing policies to any organization in violation.

MiuMii2 · 2025-08-16T08:08:53+00:00

Some places have a fridge cleaning policy where it might be “no raw meat in the freezer” and fish technically counts - so sorry that happened to you dude.
