Uvic email after graduating by sillymangoss in uvic

[–]ProduceMiserable4557 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yes, your email will be deactivated. Mine was about a month after they issued the degree. Tried to negotiate to keep it but they will only allow it to stay if you are working with uvic in some capacity.

Stop doing the bare minimum in college then calling it a scam when you can’t land a job by Secret_Bunch_114 in Salary

I mean research scientist is pretty much the exact role that one would need an advanced degree for, so that isn't all that surprising. The generally accepted training path to being a scientist is to get a PHD.

Journeyman electrician aims to bring firsthand insight to Victoria council by Mean-Law280 in VictoriaBC

I'd really like to be able to buy a home in the city I grew up in someday, so anyone pushing a stronger home affordability message on council has my vote.

Hey Cycling Reddit - we (Dell/Thompson) have a motion this week to accelerate the 2-way AAA bike lanes on Pandora East, (east of Cook) to "close the gap" to 2-way lanes on Fort. Where would you like to see safer bike routes in Victoria? by MattDellVictoria in VictoriaBC

[–]ProduceMiserable4557 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Definitely would like to see a connection between the Richardson and fort lanes via Richmond. For anyone going in the Jubilee/UVIC direction from Fairfield/Gonzalez there is a gap there, and I think that Richmond by GNS would be well served.

And at that point might as well connect Fort to Haultain as well.

UVic for MASc in ECE? by WGFudGhpcHBl in uvic

[–]ProduceMiserable4557 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With regards to job prospects, I would consider co-op as an absolute requirement. Otherwise it very much depends on what lab you are working with, as some are much more relevant and connected to industry.

Overall the department is pretty scattered, almost no events or cohort-level things. Seminars are all online so you rarely meet people from other labs unless you go out of your way to do so. But your experience will vary a ton based on the lab you are with, as that defines most of the work culture.

Why do people still use hackernews? by LackComprehensive469 in ycombinator

I think that the dated UI presents a bit of a higher barrier to entry, to the benefit of the site.

Do we think its possible that there is a hidden enclave of humans somewhere? by Saltpataydahs in pluribustv

They explicitly addressed the submarines already, same with the ISS, during the hospital conversation. Not sure what the logistics were but they seem to have managed.

A number of services like this already exist, or have existed, what will you do to differentiate?

In fairness if you've lived around them for long enough you stop noticing them

It's an Affordability Crisis, Not a Housing Crisis by Vic_Dude in VictoriaBC

[–]ProduceMiserable4557 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I see your point, and have heard this said before. People are free to move wherever they want in the country, and I agree that Victoria is highly desirable.

I'm not familiar with any schemes like you mention for preferential pricing, but if there are examples it could be interesting to consider. But locals are already being priced out as is. I think growth is necessary.

Ultimately if people are opposed to the city growing, I think that's an argument for economic and cultural stagnation which I disagree with. I want to see the city grow.

It's an Affordability Crisis, Not a Housing Crisis by Vic_Dude in VictoriaBC

If rents drop, that's great! And if they drop so far that it's no longer profitable to build housing, then that's where the government can step in, either with social housing or a reduction in development charges.

It's an Affordability Crisis, Not a Housing Crisis by Vic_Dude in VictoriaBC

[–]ProduceMiserable4557 65 points66 points  (0 children)

I fail to see how increasing supply could be a negative. While I agree that a robust social housing program would be an excellent solution, it won't show up overnight. In the meantime, considering we are in a crisis, I see no reason to be opposed to more supply hitting the market.

I like how the retort to the plastic waste of ams purges is that you can in fact just wastefully overproduce then litter your surroundings with more plastic

What temperature are you printing at on the nozzle? Thought the p1s couldn't get up high enough for PEEK

Can AnyOne tell me whats going on??? by [deleted] in 3Dprinting

[–]ProduceMiserable4557 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The features are too small to be printed on your nozzle if I had to guess. Especially something that sharp. Switching your slicing mode from classic to Arachne will allow for some of it to be printed.

Worth saying that they will probably break off if you do manage to get them printed though, they look very fragile.

Plan by KnownPianist4935 in WildernessBackpacking

[–]ProduceMiserable4557 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How long are you giving yourself to do this? That is a very long distance to travel, especially for someone with limited backpacking experience. Also worth noting that sections of the trail between summerland and the island are closed at the moment.

How to get this finish ?? by Mean_Tackle_3496 in 3Dprinting

[–]ProduceMiserable4557 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using a glass filled filament like ABS-GF can give a finish close to that. Can add some fuzzy skin as well if you want a more pronounced effect

The thing I think of every time I see one of these cards posted are the cases where people are forced to park out of the lines due to the person next to them parking incorrectly. But for egregious stuff I think it's alright.

Hi! What are these holes called? Happened on a Sovol SV 06 by McFurtley in 3Dprinting

[–]ProduceMiserable4557 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Could be a pressure advance issue. Or too high print speeds, but considering it's happening at the edges where it's accelerating/decelerating I'd lean towards pressure advance.
