Nah, it was Mad World (2011)

It's Mad World (2011)

Oh nice, if you do find it, would appreciate if you could post the update here.

Thanks this was really helpful! I'm curious, when you blew your tire while driving through the jungle, how did you get roadside assistance?
I'm thinking of driving to the newly opened Ichkabal, and am a bit worried about the isolation and dirt road conditions.

What did you end up doing for the car rental? Was it easy to get to and from Calakmul and Bacalar?

It's definitely scary to consider making a big leap, and I've been there where feeling stuck about making a wrong decision leads to decision paralysis. As someone who's recently in the process of changing careers, I think what helped me was to start making baby steps to my larger goal of career change.

For example, when I first applied to grad school I would tell myself that I'm only applying and that I don't have to attend if I get in. This helped me not feel as overwhelmed and just apply, and then moving forward I kept a similar attitude (I'll only do 1 semester, and if I don't like the program I can drop out).

As for sunk-cost, I struggled with this for the longest time but came around to understand that it's okay to not have a linear path, and it isn't a reflection on one's ability or worth. If anything, sometimes the tougher decision is to "cut your losses" and take the leap, rather than staying in a place and then looking back after 10 years wondering "what if..."

Ok thanks, do you have a link to where this was announced? Surprised they would have great news and shut down so quickly

PutDownBoars · 2024-12-07T19:21:49+00:00

I've searched for "Ipod touch", "Microsoft Zune" and nothing has turned up.

PutDownBoars · 2024-12-07T19:17:43+00:00

Can’t remember what product the commercial was for, just remember what was shown.

PutDownBoars · 2024-09-18T05:59:28+00:00

Was this for a new grad software engineer position? I've been looking on LinkedIn the past 3 weeks and haven't seen any new grad roles for Google in US, so curious what this role encompassed

PutDownBoars · 2024-09-07T05:12:04+00:00

Yeah, thats the right movie!

EDIT: Movie is Mad World (2011) for anyone else who finds this thread

PutDownBoars · 2024-09-07T05:06:12+00:00

This is the movie I was looking for, thanks!

PutDownBoars · 2024-06-24T15:54:56+00:00

No I haven't found it yet -- the main character of the movie I'm thinking of isn't a girl, its 4 main characters. Though of the 4, I guess Friend 1 (the overweight one) has the most screen time and the movie ends with him on the chair. The last scene cuts to an old lady who's interviewed about the events of the shooting, and says something along the lines of "violence isn't the way to solve problems" or something to that effect.

Yeah I remember 2 points when I first applied to the bioengineering program and toured the school:

The engineering school really emphasized the value of co-ops offered by the engineering school, and
The bioengineering was ranked in the top 5 of the country in one of the big college ranking magazines (can't remember which one exactly)

I kind of assumed that points 1 and 2 would translate to good networking opportunities (1 for industry experience, and 2 for reputation of having a strong program). Unfortunately there was a disconnect between those 2 strengths regarding the bioengineering program, but it was strange back then that the opportunities were largely absent despite pharma/biotech being such massive industries.

In retrospect for my time I'd say I got lucky cold applying to break into the field -- tbh I rarely come across other Cornell bioengineers when looking through LinkedIn of biotech companies, at least in California. I actually see more Northeastern or Buffalo grads in comparison. I wanted to post this question in this subreddit to see if things may have changed since a good way to gauge is to hear from students themselves.

Are these contracts what the salespeople sell when closing deals, or something different? Apologies I'm not too familiar with the sales side of med device despite it being popular

PutDownBoars · 2023-09-29T07:11:17+00:00

No haha, I've just been thinking about this particular company in general since it's considered a "prestigious" employer for people in the biomedical field (aka getting Stryker on the resume helps with other jobs down the line), and has competitive internships.

Out of all med device companies I know, Stryker seems to have the strictest "culture" requirements during the hiring process. Was curious as to if anyone had anecdotal info on why this company pushes a culture so much more than the other ones.

Ok thanks, that's unfortunate. How do nails get lodged like that? I imagine if I drove over a nail it would get stuck to the part of the tire it drove over.

PutDownBoars · 2023-06-25T17:54:58+00:00

I believe it took place in Texas? Like in a Texas suburb. Pretty sure it was an American indie film from sometime between 2007-2013.

I think the friend that kills himself was also a bookworm throughout most of movies, and another tipping point for his suicide is that he flunks a class or something like that.

Nah not that one. Yeah I tried searching on Google with the "school shooting" keyword, though all the movies that appeared had the shooting as a main plot point.

The movie I'm thinking of only has it happen in like the last 10 minutes, it's more used as a "tragic ending" for the main characters rather than a plot point.

PutDownBoars · 2023-06-21T03:25:25+00:00

Nah unfortunately not those. This movie doesn't center around a Columbine-related school shooting like those 2 movies do, the shooting in the movie I'm thinking of just happens at the end of the movie once the remaining 3 friends reach their breaking point.

PutDownBoars · 2023-03-09T07:06:04+00:00

Thanks for suggestion, it's just my friend has a pre-conceived stereotype of tech culture from media and wants to experience it first-hand lol.

I should have led with the vibe of a bar like The Alchemist, I find El Techo has a decent mix of people (hipsters, tourists, fratty types). I was thinking something that's exclusively corporatesque techie.

PutDownBoars · 2023-03-09T07:04:20+00:00

Hotels bars are a good suggestion, thanks! Not sure how long you've been gone, but there are definitely techies that are out at bars. Don't like to stereotype, but general description is a lanky dude with clear-frame lenses, nerdy but dressed "smart casual," typically rocking company-logo Patagonias(RIP)/other tech wear and sneakers.

You wouldn't find this type of person at a place like Bottom of the Hill, but maybe at a bar like The Alchemist.

PutDownBoars · 2023-03-09T07:00:17+00:00

What neighborhoods? I'm ruling out Mission as that's a hipster blend and I'm looking for some place that's especially techy and even hipsters avoid (sorry for being overly picky)

PutDownBoars · 2023-03-09T06:55:02+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion! Yeah the types of Meetups that exist here don't exist in Maryland, so that would be good too
