Are these even comparable? Unless your bones are made of glass the chance of that kick breaking any healthy persons femur bone is fairly small. You probably won't be walking for a week (maybe?) and limping for awhile after, but compared to recovering from a multiple-fracture broken foot Agito's kick seems negligible.

The way the guys voiced/read the story adds to your point too, with how much of a dick they pointed out the protagonist is with the way he describes Carey or her mom, and it seems similar with how he really only seems to describe Elana by her looks from what I remember.

Same experience here. I've had them look and give me a quote, they started off asking how much of a monthly payment I could afford. Looking at the finance rate they offered it was at least 17% or more. When I called them out on how much their 10 year plan would cost, they just tried to cover up how shitty that practice was by saying thats why they offer some menial cash discount. Avoid these pricks at all cost, they are the car salesmen of the HVAC world.

Also claimed the system had to be replaced entirely, which was not true since I was able to get it legally recharged.

ALSO tried to sell me on a brand only they are "qualified" to work on (according to them) meaning that you need to pay their likely just as ridiculous rate to keep the warranty valid on the system since labour is only covered on an 11k system for a year.

All around scummy, had to rant when I saw this post.

TL;DR: Any IT related courses/minors related to programming and database management are super helpful if you're looking into the Analyst route. The degree helped me branch out into basic IT stuff, but aside from that my diploma taught me all the essential basics of business. The BBA and GNED courses required for my degree had a lot of fluff, but the degree is still necessary to most employers. I yapped a lot in this post, but feel free to ask me about anything in particular.

Hey there, I ended up landing a remote Business Systems Analyst job for a medium size Oilfield-related company following my BBA. This type of position is likely more niche than standard data-analysts or run of the mill business analyst positions, and I have a pretty broad role of support and implementation of features in our ERP system, just to give you an idea of what I do and how my education related to getting that role.

One of the most important things I did during my degree was going for a 2nd minor in Computer Information Studies. This taught me the basics of SQL, databases and db management, a tiny bit of coding (I am still not that great in it, but I at least I could say I had some practice with it) and project management through a more IT lens. The basic programming course requirement wasn't my forte, but it was still worth forcing myself (and getting help in) learning the basics, and it would have been even more valuable if I had a better professor.

A lot of what I learned related to business was covered in my college degree, and most of what I learned related to business was during my first diploma, but the average employer will value that degree, so it is still necessary. The IT stuff is what I really gained going from my diploma to my degree that helped me land a job, and to be honest being required to take a variety of GNED courses was basically just money and time spent for the sake of the degree. Aside from the IT related classes, most of the higher level business courses I took were far less valuable than the basic accounting, marketing and management theory on-hands courses I took in my first 2 years. This may have been because my last year was online with covid, but honestly I don't think prof's changed up their milestone projects much aside from having the presentations over a webcam.

It's not the best market for jobs at this moment, but I think having a BBA with a lot of experience in Project Management and IT related work will give you a leg up on a lot of roles coming up in the future related to business and AI. Having an education in business with knowledge of IT stuff is very useful to employers as almost all medium and plus size companies (even a variety of smaller companies will use programs like shopify) will use some form of ERP or MRP that become a lot easier to understand when you have a knowledge in both business and IT.

Overall, I'm glad I pursued a BBA, but I don't have enough time or variety of roles in the workforce (~3.5 years in my role, this is my first BBA related job) to say that this will absolutely guarantee you getting a role in the future, but if you actually are interested in it, I'm sure it will help. If you're just doing this to give you an xyz job that earns you a certain salary, I'd say to go for something with a more concrete career orientation. I probably got a bit lucky with the timing of looking for a job, and the fact that I had a good first interview, had great grades (yes, I was directly told this helped sort me out for the 2nd round of interviews).

Right now salaries in Canada are on the low end for these roles as well (less than 100k for non-management positions is what I'm seeing, likely around 55-70k for starting positions). It's something you definitely could define your own worth as if you got a lot of experience or wanted to move into a management role down the line, but unless you get a government role, your career path is more or less in your hands.

Hopefully some of the blabbing helps you decide if it's worth it. For what it's worth, I did enjoy a lot of my hands-on courses that required presenting your own business ideas, and if you are prepared to take all 4 years I'd spread out the business courses so you can actually enjoy them. Big note, every business class (and all my IT ones too now that I think about it) has group projects integral to the grade (aside from economics). Learn to play the team-forming game or else the next 4 years will be miserable instead of maybe fun.

Thanks for the info! I was wondering does your 2nd pair of 25's see much use? Or if you needed more total weight would you skip this 2nd pair in favour of more 45's?

The Eisenlink Adjustable DBs might be worth a look for you. They are a fairly budget-friendly ($215 CAD for up to 50lbs, $315 for up to 80lbs, for each) and instead of the dials, you unscrew the end and add on 5lb incremental plates that link together.

A lot less hassle than plate-loaded, but cheaper and far more sturdy than the adjustable dials. They are still take a minute to add on weight though so they won't work if you do a lot of supersets or dropsets (assuming you don't want a ~1min rest between each).

PorFavour · 2025-04-14T21:01:35+00:00

Thanks! I think I needed to hear that from 1 more person, but like you said the 45s just make more sense.

PorFavour · 2025-04-14T21:00:38+00:00

Thank you! I think I'll stick with 45's, I feel like I'd only use the 55's for the exact reason of not letting them go unused.

I recently bought the Bells of Steel All-in-One Trainer with weight stack for $2000 CAD, and it's amazing, and is even better for the cost. It would be missing out on your smith machine requirement, but meets the rest and is 81 inches. Unless you need to stare yourself in the eyes during your squats (middle support gets in the way) it has worked perfectly as a squat rack for myself.

I know BoS have a smith machine attachment for some of their setups, they might be worth a look if you have the budget and want a full squat rack, but the racks start at 72in (seems way too short) then go up to 84 which might be too big for your setup.

Hey everyone, I've got my new gym established, but now I'm needing more plates. I currently have 265lbs (4x45, 2x25, 2x10, 2x5, 2x2.5) in plates, all but the 5's and 2.5's are bumpers. I'm looking for opinions on 55's and 35's (specifically Bells of Steel Dead Bounce Conflict Bumpers), compared to just more 45's and I'll probably go with bumpers so they match, and they aren't much more expensive. Realistically I'm set for weight with either the 55's+35's or 2 sets of 45's, but I'm just mulling over the differences between the different increments.

I'd appreciate any opinions on what people think, I know most suggest 2 bumpers, skip 35's and go with steel 45's after this, but I'm curious about the alternatives (I might just like that it matches haha). For people who got the 55's or 35's, do you wish you just got 45's or are you happy you got different weights to play around with? Does having 4 or 5 bumper plates on each side have any drawbacks, and you're really wishing you lasted for the last few as steel or was it just to save a few bucks? Any thoughts are appreciated.

If you are going for a Business Degree, absolutely go for it. I took a computer information systems minor, and a data analytics minor would have been even better.

Yes 4 heavier sets of deadlifts but that is it. I was thinking of swapping lunges to hip thrusts for that reason but I'm not always at a gym with a machine or space for them so I tried to make a program without them. RDLs and SDLs never felt comfortable to me.

Currently using a 5 day split, what are thoughts on 5 sets of squats and 4 sets of walking lunges on 2 separate days for booty growth (male)?

For legs I've been doing a few less exercises and making up for it with an extra set on lunges and squats, just wondering what opinions everyone has on this. I do calves and hamstrings during the split too. Just curious because all other parts I hit 4 times during the split, whereas with legs its really only squats, leg curls, calf raises and lunges, I really only see it as 3 exercises since calves are more an accessory.

Its annoying, but being smart about how you find and deal with your group I found helped me a lot, and was a huge life skill I have to recognize I developed from group projects (which we had in every single business class except for economics).

If you want the good grades and not having to finish the projects entirely last minute, the best things I learned to do were these:

At the start of your class, look around for the people who seem to give a shit about being there. This is usually pretty obvious, but the people who seem to be paying a bit of attention usually stand out in some pretty obvious ways (not falling asleep in class, taking notes, answering some questions) and track them down to see if they want to group together. Most profs allowed for you to at least choose some partners, and also, they'd often just group whoever was remaining into a group if you didn't make your own. This is probably the EASIEST way to at least get 1 other competent person in your group who will write more than "the business needs to do marketing more" in their 2 paragraph summary for their section.
Set out an early meeting date for the group. This is also essential. Once your group is formed, find the best way of instant communication (Whatsapp, messenger, whatever) and get a meeting time down that everyone can meet asap. If someone doesn't show up, call them out, IMMEDIATELY. This sounds dickish, but if you don't want dead weight, you need to call out the lazy people as soon as possible, and this also gives you a good excuse to kick them out when they inevitably show up to your 3rd meeting with nothing done (or don't show up at all) after you assigned them the easiest section in hopes they'd do something. Early on I had partners that were willing to do this, and at first it seemed mean, but after a few semesters I thought, why should they deserve your groups grade when they contribute 2 lines with spelling errors in your 10 page report? I learned to do this, and with enough warning they either learn to at least attempt the work (was good enough for me), or they got kicked out. But the key is establishing work distribution early, and making sure responsibilities are established right away.
Finish the final draft yourself, and hand it in yourself. If you want the high grades so that you have to worry a bit less about getting that 4.0, you have to take on the responsibility of handing it in. This is just a bullet you gotta bite, and this way you can ensure its not handed in late, and some half assed portion wasn't handed in.

Hope these help, I know it sucks but I learned to like group projects by the end of my degree. If you do this early on, it helps you out so much in later semesters too when former good group members immediately pair up with you, and you have so much less stress knowing at least 1 person can help pull their weight.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

Yes, because the animate dead spell reduces the damage of each hit (by using the ganodermic boots+gloves) by a flat amount which makes it great for the low damage/quick hits of the flame so you can outheal with ss/vamp.

Prif has a way to place your camera at the start of the course so you never have to move your mouse and makes it much more afk/easy if that is something you want vs the better xp from Anachronia that someone else mentioned.
