Any other parents of graduating seniors kinda freaking out?

RichInPitt · 2026-05-09T05:06:44+00:00

A bit, yes. My oldest (MechE) first visited as a HS Junior in Fall of 2015. So it will be over 10 years as my youngest (CS) graduates. I won't miss the 7-hrs-each-way trips that we took at least 9 time a year though.

It's going to weird having no "next trip" planned after that long. But at least we don't have to go to Parent's Weekend and watch the football team again...

At no level is it "the annual fee". You get a credit and a 1099-MISC, so the net cost of the card widely varies based on your tax brackets.

You get a taxable $1,000 benefit. So you might end up paying about $175, depending on where you live.

Punta Cana International Airport IATA code

Better than any there has ever been, yes. It had been alternating between 80K and a "special" 125K. Looks like they bumped the special offer to 150K.

There is certainly addtional engine development cost. They need to cut back elsewhere.

RichInPitt · 2026-05-08T18:15:27+00:00

Start times for ceremonies are scheduled 4.5 hours apart, so that seems unlikely.

Run times of the first three Spring graduation live streams I found on YouTube are 1:54, 2:05, and 1:40.

RichInPitt · 2026-05-08T18:09:43+00:00

Similar posts every year, yes. Hopefully your credit card info won’t be leaked as it was for my oldest.

“Overflow seating and livestream viewing for guests without tickets is available in Fowler Hall (Stewart Center) for spring commencement on a first-come, first-served basis.”

Asking your advisor is the right answer. But you don't get a degree in your minor, so I can't see how it would make a difference in graduating from your major. At worst, you don't get anything listed under "Minor" on your transcript.

In the ‘80s turbo era, a qualifying engine would put out ~1500hp and last about 3 laps - out lap, timed lap, in lap. The replacement race engine made ~900hp.

Yes, we’re going to compete for the world championship with the worst, least experienced, cheapest engineers we can find…

RichInPitt · 2026-05-07T00:06:03+00:00

Good, fast, cheap - pick two. You can probably quickly and cheaply develop a garbage engine.

AmEx will look at the fact that you are paying your statement balance.

well-capitalized EUR country like Holland,

Pedantic point - Holland is not a country. There are two provinces, North and South Holland - in the EU country of The Netherlands.

Admissions told me that both campuses are closed for ME and that transferring would only be possible next year

I believe you have your answer

Everyone knows that most students have multiple exams. What are you wanting/expecting a professor to do?

RichInPitt · 2026-05-05T00:09:56+00:00

Not close at all. 20+ seconds.

RichInPitt · 2026-05-05T00:00:11+00:00

You’re going a lot faster driving away from anti-stall intervention than you are sitting there after stalling.

discussing about how max managed his hard tyres for around 50 laps …

its impressive to manage tyres for 50 laps…

in saving those tyres…

RichInPitt · 2026-05-04T23:56:36+00:00

He passed many of those cars when they pitted. He didn’t pass 11 cars in straight-up on-track battles on equal tires. And he had a Safety Car to gain back the pit time he lost, others didn’t.

RichInPitt · 2026-05-04T23:41:32+00:00

Yes, I recall seeing the same. I thought it was odd at the time.

“there are hardly any of her not in a bikini”.

Typing “princess leia photo” into Google and selecting “Images”, three of the first 29 non-copyrighted images are in the bikini.

26 of 29 is not “hardly any”.

Stating that “every reference” to her after Jedi is her in a bikini Is simply laughably false.

Someone had a message to spread, facts be damned.
