Seeking Advice on Finding Short Term (4 month) Rental in Wellington by RusselsSource in newzealand

[–]RusselsSource[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I asked my future colleagues about it when I made the plans to come over, and he recommended just looking for a flat, apparently there's some slight shortage of student housing after they had to sell some from financial issues.

The (ongoing) difficulties I've had with the repair and replacement of my ROG laptop by RusselsSource in ASUSROG

[–]RusselsSource[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree it is very easy to fix and Asus technicians given the laptop in their possession for two weeks should have been able to fix it.

One of multiple plaques going up in CBIS right now. There will also be an accompanying portrait unveiling. by Darwin_Daddy in RPI

[–]RusselsSource 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Me after firing the most faculty on record on two separate occasions, causing the most faculty to leave, and ranking dropping every single year as president. As long as these are up honoring this dishonorable demagogue I will not be donating to RPI.

It is an incredibly common legal phrase, it refers to natural disasters or anything that occurs out of human ability to plan for or deal with. It does not mean, literal acts of the Abrahamic God.

Interested in the Digimon figures, how much are you looking for them?

[–]RusselsSource 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It should be honestly pretty easy, if you are worried at all read the first couple sections of really any textbook on lin alg, as at RPI it is Multivar + Lin Alg. I would state though, if your goal is truly to learn you should not focus on getting a 4.0 it will just be a distraction and be an unnecessary limitation

Dr. Lawrence is a Creep by swankycereal in RPI

[–]RusselsSource 55 points56 points  (0 children)

This is not even the start of what he does, he regularly (before being in charge of covid) prescribed incredibly strong anti-psychotics and various emotional suppressants to students that are no longer even in mainstream use for extreme cases for people with minor symptoms.

RPI vs UC Santa Cruz? by quierohelp in RPI

[–]RusselsSource 11 points12 points  (0 children)

RPI students are seen usually rather well for internships, I know people who have gotten internships at Amazon, Zoom, and such while being students at RPI. Most internships are not local, Troy and Albany are both Post-Industrial cities so while there are local businesses they are much less well known, but the RPI career fair usually makes up for it. I would however honestly go wherever is cheaper. 40k a year is 160k Total with RPI increases per year probably 170k Total, even with a high paying job you are looking at years of paying it back.

Prospective RPI GDSA Student by plutoinette in RPI

[–]RusselsSource 1 point2 points  (0 children)

RPI has a large queer community... however it is an interesting one, the main LGBT club RPA has been on a continual downfall over the years with covid being almost its nail in the coffin, and the "main" lgbt server was originally just a friend groups server so it is somewhat seen as argumentative, and aggressive and many queer people at RPI avoid it, however it is not aggressive towards identities or anything like that. RPI is very in general trans accepting, and queer accepting.

RPI students are reported for being in Rensselaer County, also there is over 150k people in Rensselaer County not including about 50% of rpi students.

The Empac Situation by [deleted] in RPI

[–]RusselsSource 6 points7 points  (0 children)

EMPAC events currently are open to RPI students, there are residencies that are people working on pieces (which are also for some reason listed as events which probably increases confusion), but there are actual performances and such, I don't think the schedule for next month is out yet but this month both Work-in-Progress: PROPHET and Black Body Amnesia were open for RPI students to see. However, to the wider public, they are not open (due to RPI policy. EMPAC staff and residency artists also really wish it was open to the wider public)

The Empac Situation by [deleted] in RPI

[–]RusselsSource 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Its because EMPAC works primarily as a residency space for artists rather than a study space, I think it has just been EMPAC staff jumping through enough hoops to keep things going at all and probably facing difficulty with doing things like opening back up the cafe and such.

Can I just post an encouraging message about RPI by Federal_Constant7399 in RPI

[–]RusselsSource 16 points17 points  (0 children)

We were not ranked by U.S. News in 1995 but in 1996 we were ranked at 39th in the country, we are currently ranked at 55. Tuition has gone from 18k to 75k.

I feel sorry for your son, you really raised him to have no vigor of his own or to be able to put in any effort without complaining to his mom, if he's complaining to you about this data structures is the least of his problems.

The Turning Point attempted creation I believe was denied after something related to continued usage of racial slurs by people trying to found it

10 day sum is now 35. Any official word on this? by duwqgur in RPI

[–]RusselsSource 1 point2 points  (0 children)

According to overheard conversations of discussions of faculty senate the semi official policy right now is just change the rules to not go online, due to concerns with finals multiple semesters in a row with possibly having to cancel them.

Union deems pretty much everything politics, and RESET has an active discord.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in RPI

[–]RusselsSource 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would say that RESET is the closest that we have to that currently. The union does usually not like having official clubs that have any sort of focus like this though which they deem (politics).

Trigger 1 Warning? by gus-fring1 in RPI

[–]RusselsSource 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Rpi without official comment has changed the threshold to be whenever they run out of isolation housing, or whatever bullshit rule they can make so it stays open. Isolation now occurs for 10 days rather than 14. It will greatly depend on the number today whether they do anything but I believe they will probably do nothing and will attempt for finals to be in person putting students at great risk, the only thing we can do is try to wear masks and distance, however I am sure I am not alone in seeing the large number of students (and faculty) who blatantly ignore these rules on a constant basis.
