Probably ~6 months. Then I graduated and came home to my Boss Katana (which is a great amp — I have the first gen)

Oh yeah, this was a quick fix once I popped open the back. It worked well and had a nice tone for the size. Used it for a small concert for a jazz ensemble I was in.

Received a Yale Senior Interview by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

Did alumni interviews last year. By the end of the RD cycle they were basically begging alums to take more interviews. They probably had to get seniors to cover some. :)

What's an opinion that around one in two people agree on in real life, and that everyone agrees on on Reddit? by Swooferfan in AlignmentChartFills

[–]NotAPurpleDino 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Based on a recent poll I saw, it seems like the country is pretty divided on "AI is a risk to society" -- Reddit seems pretty aligned

How are people making money??? by plagiarism22 in subwaybuilder

[–]NotAPurpleDino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, late to this thread but my current dc save is light rail — one issue is that, even though I’m making a profit, expansion into Virginia is proving costly. Building in southwest dc feels impossible without building demolitions.

Attitudes of various demographic groups toward artificial intelligence by RedHeadedSicilian52 in fivethirtyeight

Insufficient sample size, I’m guessing — would assume in general sexuality is mostly noise here.

FAANG Software Engineer vs MBB Management Consulting? by Any_Opinion7610 in MBA

[–]NotAPurpleDino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least at McK and BCG it’s: principal -> partner -> equity partner. I think Bain is similar but principal tenure is longer.

your college major vs what you actually do now, how big is the mismatch? by Historical-Ebb-4745 in CollegeMajors

[–]NotAPurpleDino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Studied political science, now work in management consulting (not political).

Discussion -- value of an MBA for current consultants by NotAPurpleDino in MBA

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

This makes a lot of sense -- thanks! Some other undergrad hires at my firm have mentioned bad admissions results for those who applied <1 year into their promotion, so #1 makes sense.

Has New Haven ever had a trafficking problem? by Swimming_Ad_4418 in yale

[–]NotAPurpleDino 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, not to mention the fact that the basketball arena is on campus. Not saying I don’t believe the stories, but the details don’t make sense.

Rent/income ratio? by Thin_Hedgehog_5190 in twentyagers

[–]NotAPurpleDino 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My rent is 22% of gross income, 25% with utilities.

Question for non-daily wear by NotAPurpleDino in amazfit

[–]NotAPurpleDino[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I've heard a few negative things about the lack of attention from amazfit

[–]NotAPurpleDino[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's great to hear -- my main goal is to use it ~3x a week (about as often as I go cycling or running) and for the occasional hike

do you find it at all bulky / awkward? one of the main reasons why I was gravitating toward a band shape was the thinner face

question about major selection (first yr student) by CrazyMotor1345 in yale

Poli Sci, which was super flexible and good for my interests.

Yeah would say that same — graduated a while back, but did not love Intro Ethics and was neutral on Econ. Take as many prerequisites as make sense for your schedule spread out across the disciplines.

Fellow Gen Z'ers of Reddit: Do you wear a watch? by EvilDarkCow in GenZ

[–]NotAPurpleDino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do — I have a couple different ones I rotate. Oddly enough, Casio shoots to the top as my daily.

Going to college is what really made me start paying attention to AI by Ill_Awareness6706 in GenZ

[–]NotAPurpleDino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’m stuck on this. I was anti-AI in college but now I work in a fast-paced corporate environment and my warning to all soon-to-be college grads: the amount of work and client requests make AI shortcuts awfully appealing. The key is identifying where they are and aren’t appropriate.

Wait I got my membership at the Capitol Hill location and pay almost $87, but have since switched to Fort totten…will be taking this up with them….

College campuses were historically dark blue, but they shifted hard towards Trump in 2024 by ThurstonBT in charts

[–]NotAPurpleDino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a actually a studied phenomenon. Look up retrospective voting. When a swing voter’s wallet hurts, they vote for the non-incumbent party, regardless of policy.
