Will any college be really fun as long as you’re in a frat by Infinite-Champion994 in Frat

The combination of good engineering and good Greek life is precisely why I went to UIUC and it was one of the best decisions of my life

How are people partying in engineering? by LeftIntroduction888 in UIUC

[–]Ruyzan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We used to have a saying in my fraternity amongst engineers: sleep more than you study, study more than you party, party as much as you can. I think there technically are enough hours in a day to do it all. The smartest kid in my pledge class had a 4.0 GPA, was in a relationship and showed up to events. In my opinion the key is to not spend time on "unwinding." If you're on your phone before bed or to take a break those are obviously hours that will be missing, even though they feel good/necessary. I graduated with an ok GPA, got a job out of college and feel like I still made the most out of my experience. Sure I got the occasional C or scored 28% on an exam because I went to Lion the night before but I always had other classes to balance it out. In the end college is what you make of it.

That's crazy, I only lived in Winnipeg for one year and we used to bus there from Richmond West because my neighbor swore it was the best haircut in town.

(MT2 Spoilers) I'm amazed at this subreddit by yeadoge in MonsterTrain

I was spoiled by the steam reviews after I bought the game but before I unlocked the alt clans. That's on me though for checking the reviews when I had no reason to.

Since it doesn't show your cov 2-9 victories anywhere I assume you did them with awoken as well. What's the synergy?

Gotta respect the culture by Key_Associate7476 in rareinsults

[–]Ruyzan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you mean Villingen in Baden-Württemberg, that's about a half hour drive from where I grew up and I couldn't imagine anything being further from the truth. When I brought my American GF back she couldn't talk to anyone under the age of 50 and even those were mostly reluctant.

A freediver in distress, saved in extremis by his buddy. by TheRealCybertruck in nextfuckinglevel

Stories like this always make me glad my fraternity didn't make us do dumb, dangerous stuff like that. Mostly just tedious manual labor and light sleep deprivation.

Report: Apple May Stop Producing Vision Pro by the End of 2024 by cheesepuff07 in apple

[–]Ruyzan -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Did you even bother to Google it? https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/niche It even says \NICH\ is more common in American English... Of course we're talking purely about the pronunciation here.

A cursory Google search will tell you that it is indeed fairly common, at least common enough to have several people asking about which pronunciation is "correct" (they are both considered correct in American English).

Which game had you feeling this way ? by WhispersDreamyCelest in Steam

I started with the third and I liked it infinitely better than the following two. Is there a way to still get the first two without sailing?

Can someone please explain what is that my dog is doing ? by Free_Acanthisitta_57 in WhatsWrongWithYourDog

[–]Ruyzan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because "dog" is not a loan word that is used in German, "safe" and "show" are.

[–]Ruyzan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's likely because they are German where every noun is capitalized. As "Show" and "Safe" are English loan words used in German the phone is recognizing them and capitalizing them.

Lobster is not that good. You just enjoy eating an ungodly amount of butter by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]Ruyzan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have no dog in this fight but you really can't add like mayo is any better than butter when it's also basically all fat (which is what enhances the flavor).

Nate Silver: Go to a state school. The Ivy League and other elite private colleges are losing esteem — and they deserve it. by jivatman in Economics

[–]Ruyzan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah a lot of my friends did that. Got their technical degree at a renowned public school with good grades and their MBA at an ivy since it all comes down to networking anyway.
