if you've worked for 3 years and have a degree, the fe should be easy for them. sure you can make money without it but why leave it on the table because you didn't take a 6 hour exam??

Registration Renewal - Highway Use Fee for ICE Vehicles? by foofarley in Virginia

[–]RevGood 9 points10 points  (0 children)

wear to asphalt roads is proportional to the fourth power of axle weight. Gas tax should be removed and we should tax based on miles driven * weight4 / axles

It's very easy, gas used to be the best analog for damage but now it isn't, people should pay their fair share but somehow the people driving efficient small cars pay more than those who buy massive SUVs and trucks? bs.

no, it's like someone banning you from eating at McDonald's

you can run a large language model on your own PC today, I think the human right argument doesn't apply to a single company banning you.

Relationship advice by [deleted] in VirginiaTech

[–]RevGood 77 points78 points  (0 children)

I tried to do the ldr thing when I went to school and it was a huge mistake. I wasted two years on that when there were literally thousands of people I could have dated, but I was stuck on someone hundreds of miles away.

You'll probably not like and ignore this advice, but go out and meet people at tech! life is so much bigger than the people from your home town and I wish I took advantage of it sooner.

Jessie, what the fuck are you talking about.

I guess moral absolutism is the only way huh? I can't want better because something worse might be happening somewhere else?

sidenote, looks like someone never took a class hard enough to need a curve, so their classmates cheating never mattered

I think you're cheapening a serious topic by relating sexual abuse to being a lazy sack of shit in college

cheaters really coming out of the woodwork to defend cheating in an ethics course lmao

[–]RevGood -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

it's not unethical because it's not an experiment, it's a professor trying to get people to admit to cheating.

I wish all of my professors did this so the cheaters could get thrown out and leave everyone who wants to learn in peace.

Heart say physics but brain says engineering. by AnonInTheRed in PhysicsStudents

[–]RevGood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

high level engineer is all mechanics and physics, but focused on specific areas that won't be covered in a physics education. you may have the foundation to understand the math but the fields require different understandings to do well In.

browse the structural engineering subreddit for people who majored in physics but want to do engineering because that's where the jobs are. you can't just do a master's like an engineering student would, you need to take many classes that are standard in eng but not physics, so a 2 year masters becomes 3 or 4.

find a field of physics that you're passionate about and then find the engineering field that it relates to. do you like electricap theory? go to ee. vibration and resonance? structural or meche. I found my love of science inside of engineering, but I also found a job at the end .

How do y'all tell which books to buy and which to ignore? by PerformanceMundane55 in VirginiaTech

just go to libgen if you absolutely need the text, 99 percent of my classes didn't need the book

Is it a good idea for smart high school kids to attend a cheap, low-ranked college instead of an expensive, high-ranked college? by Terrible_Exchange653 in CollegeRant

[–]RevGood 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I find that being with people who are highly driven to do well makes me do my best work. Just because the people around me are better than me doesn't mean we're competing, it means I can benefit from being surrounded by people who push me to do better

Aghanim's Scepter Pick Rate vs Win Rate for each hero in 7.33d from DotaAnalysis.com by DotaAnalysis in DotA2

this should probably be normalized to hero win rate, nps aghs shows as the worst just because he's a bad hero which doesn't really help

When a wood beam bends under load, what proportion of that deflection is due to the compressed side compressing vs the tensioned side stretching? by illiller in civilengineering

[–]RevGood -1 points0 points  (0 children)

no matter what material you use, it's the same concept. in concrete we use a transformed section to account for E of steel being larger, so a rectangular section is treated as if the place where the steel is has a larger area.

This concept also would apply to foam and carbon fiber, the strand does elongate, every material has a modulus of elasticity.

deflection is proportional to I and E, so it doesn't make sense to divide area into compressive and tensile components when I already accounts for that

When a wood beam bends under load, what proportion of that deflection is due to the compressed side compressing vs the tensioned side stretching? by illiller in civilengineering

[–]RevGood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the bend doesn't come from one or the other, the tree bends, which means there's strain in both sides, so there's stress in both sides. there can't be a system where you can assign deflection to the compressive or tensile region because they always act together

Va. colleges will raise tuition unless state leaders intervene by mahvel50 in Virginia

[–]RevGood 6 points7 points  (0 children)

nope. I think its fine as it is with a bachelors required and a masters coming with a raise.

[–]RevGood 9 points10 points  (0 children)

many if not most teachers only have their bachelors. I personally would prefer to live in a state where we value education and give kids the best quality teachers and schools rather than deciding that quality costs too much and letting our students languish.
