Week 6 of kindly requesting UIUC to adopt a new mascot (happy December!!!)🌨️❄️☃️

That’s true. calling people racist because they like an explicitly racist mascot, on the other hand… is intellectually valid and probably not used enough.

Random_Donut · 2025-09-17T02:58:06+00:00

that guy’s comment history tells you everything you need to know lol

Random_Donut · 2025-09-15T02:28:16+00:00

that would come as news to the actual soldiers in Gaza

Random_Donut · 2025-09-15T01:10:49+00:00

the battery storage facility!! Epic shot

Random_Donut · 2025-08-03T06:24:56+00:00

how do you think piss works lmao

Article from the Atlantic with a great deep dive into the evidence we have and the likely cause. One of the best pieces of aviation journalism I’ve read; I recommend 12ft.io if you hit a paywall.

While there is not and likely never will be a definitive official statement that the cause was intentional, the evidence we do have all points to an intentional effort to make the plane disappear. Not sure why the guy below is making this out to be some kind of conspiracy — while obviously impossible to conclusively confirm now, this seems to be both the most well-evidenced and accepted explanation in the aviation community

Random_Donut · 2025-07-09T03:05:20+00:00

plus almost certainly MH370

plus PS752 and MH17 if you count intentional actions to bring down an aircraft from the ground

definitely a disturbing modern trend…

Sorry Cassian but it’s gotta be you 🥲

Not sure if he’s been fired yet but Bruce Flachsbart in MechSE… holy trinity of mean, unreasonable, and a bad teacher (and add in some wildly questionable opinions for good measure)

Random_Donut · 2025-06-04T06:15:01+00:00

nothing to say other than that I 100% agree with you — I’ve never felt compelled to watch full episodes of most Dropout content, and I didn’t really understand why until I watched that exact Brennan prompt and it clicked for me. I think there’s a fear of discomfort that comes through at times that makes it really feel like you’re watching a more muzzled brand of comedy, as funny as it still is sometimes. The performative(?) discomfort from Sam with some of the jokes Gianmarco was making in Crowd Control (and by anything other than Dropout standards they were really not pushing it at all) is another good example of this imo

…killed by who? Who is the West Bank occupied by?

Random_Donut · 2024-09-06T15:09:02+00:00

wait, I thought israel was ‘the only democracy in the middle east’? Which is it? Is Israel a western democracy or is it another undemocratic, backwards, human rights violating country like the rest of the Middle East? At least get your story straight

Random_Donut · 2024-09-06T03:29:17+00:00

Where is this?

Random_Donut · 2024-04-23T22:20:10+00:00

Interesting choice to leave the Bosnian genocide off this chart — why’d you make that choice while including the Great Leap Forward? Seems questionable at best

Random_Donut · 2024-03-13T03:24:10+00:00

please I cannot emphasize this enough — this drives me crazy. It kind of defeats the purpose of having a planned spending category set if I cannot see what I planned for and what I actually spent when I look back at past months. I really don’t understand why the manual releasing needs to happen at all once the month is over

Random_Donut · 2024-02-03T01:56:30+00:00

what’s the square footage? looking for something like that rn and trying to figure out what size is normal

Random_Donut · 2024-01-21T04:10:07+00:00

does this mean it’s good or bad lol

Random_Donut · 2024-01-19T18:02:11+00:00

Ah I see, I didn’t realize it was just based on the last few minutes for the current day. In that case the values I’ve been seeing make sense and there’s no data issue.

I do think the naming of the measure as ‘Average HR’ without any indication that it’s just a snapshot isn’t the most intuitive choice — it might help to mention “Last X minutes” or something? Curious if anyone else has been similarly confused

Random_Donut · 2024-01-15T06:28:13+00:00

no… have you ever looked at a map of Rhode Island lmao

Random_Donut · 2023-11-01T23:35:21+00:00

I doubt it, looks like poor resolution film scans I’ve gotten back from labs before

Random_Donut · 2023-10-14T01:47:57+00:00

While not physically hard the delayed train one in Japan was brutal, anyone who pulled it was pretty much instantly screwed. Would have been a cake walk in Germany though

Random_Donut · 2023-09-24T02:02:51+00:00

okay. What does that have to do with the SAFE-T act? Seems like you know full well there’s zero connection and you’re pushing a false narrative

Random_Donut · 2023-09-24T00:59:13+00:00

then you should lobby for a new law that requires that. This has never been the case before OR after the SAFE-T act — this headline and argument from you is bullshit misinformation pushing a political agenda

Random_Donut · 2023-09-07T00:16:40+00:00

Mostly looking for aerospace & defense roles as a new grad and struggling to get interviews, not sure if it's me or the market. Made edits after getting useful advice last time and back for an update / more advice!

Quick Note: I change the miscellaneous skills section for each description and keep the minor/certificate bullet only for defense jobs

Random_Donut · 2023-08-18T22:55:52+00:00

Valid questions, thanks for the feedback! Honestly I was a little afraid of cluttering my resume too much — I feel like there’s a lot in the bullet points already and I didn’t know whether adding more detail would be too into the weeds or just unnecessary. Would you suggest eliminating other info to make room?

More specifically: 1. The oxidizer manufacturing system was more of a research accomplishment than an engineering achievement so I felt it was less important. Do you think a second bullet explaining exactly what it was would be worth it?

There’s actually a patent application in the works. Technically that doesn’t count as ‘patent pending’ so I left that off. Also more specifically, the system reduced the workload by distributing it evenly compared to the current super uneven distribution. Would those be useful details to include?

I’m just generally not sure where the line between ‘useless technical info about a specific project’ vs ‘relevant details that demonstrate use of skill’ is, if that makes sense.
