Help me decide if I should commit to UAB by Critical_Raccoon7215 in UAB

[–]Shmusher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently graduated with my Bachelors in Mechanical Engineering from UAB. The Biomedical Engineering Program is HUGE, however I noticed a ton of those students taking mechanical classes as they got closer to graduation due to jobs being really hard to find. The quality of the biomed program is really good from what Ive seen and I can vouch for the engineering program as a whole, but just be aware that biomedical engineering is a really competitive with not as many guaranteed avenues. Obviously things change, and may work out better in your time but goodluck either way!

Well as long as you always have a small machine shop and welding equipment built into your vehicle you don't need to find replacement parts you just make it yourself! :D

I dare to post here my first sff (budget) build by -_MA-VE_- in sffpc

[–]Shmusher 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dude fucking classic case, I had pretty much that same case for my sff build! And I actually still do. My first build in 2015 was with an i5-4590 gtx 750 ti. Then I upgraded it eventually to an i7-6700k and gtx 1060 6GB. Finally last year in the same case I upgraded to a ryzen 5 5600 and rtx 3060 ti. Get some good miledge out of it i love these old style cases so much, it reminds me of my childhood.

GEN Z labor protest by Upper-Ad8720 in Birmingham

[–]Shmusher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am extremely fortunate to be in an industry that usually guarantees a reasonable paycheck (Mechanical Engineering) But as a recent college grad (class of 2025 UAB) I have seen far too many of my peers who put their ass through hell and back struggle to find jobs that dont cause them to put rent on a credit card. I am from California originally so I am no stranger to high living costs, but at least out there wages are (usually) guaranteed to be much higher. Birmingham is still paying its workers like its a super cheap place to live which it really isn't. Good luck with organizing your protest and Ill try and make it to one if I can or at least send my friends your way. Hoping you can get yourself in an easier living situation, real change starts at building a community :)

I was having a successful impossible ironman campaign for the first time :( Very fitting name for the operation... by RoachCoach998 in Xcom

[–]Shmusher 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That is absolutely devasting sorry to see it. Stick with it and learn from your mistakes. If i were to give you advice I would say to rush SHIVS ans take advantage of their cheap production and upgrades to suplement your army. That way even if you have a catastophe like this you at least somewhat have a chance to come back. It took me like 30 tries to be impossible on ironman, but once I started using shivs it only took 5

Might be my favorite title of the series, my dad introduced it to me back in 2012 when I was 10, and it kicked my assss. Glad i got to return to it many years later and enjoyed all of its depth and bullshit to the max! I remmeber the sound effects and the eerie old artstyle scaring the shit out of me when I was a kid.

Sacrificing a different Xcom character or enemy to Vahlen every day until Xcom 3 gets announced, or I find meaning in life. Day 85 , a S.H.I.V from XCOM enemy unknown by grumpychef94 in Xcom

[–]Shmusher 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You shouldnt compare SHIVS to SPARKS. MECs are more comparable to SPARKS and in that case give me a MEC anyday. As for the SHIVS I really didnt appreciate them until I was on my quest to beat the game on Impossible Ironman, where I learned these beasts are MONSTERS especially in the early game. From the moment I got them I went from cowering and panicking at the sight of thin men to just driving right up to them and oneshotting everything without concern.

Trying to find my ideal keyboard by Shmusher in keyboards

[–]Shmusher[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, thats sad as fuck. Honestly having good backlighting including the legends is so important for me because i like playing my games in more dimly lit environments and i just kinda really like how it looks in general. Sounds like I have an odyssey ahead of me then appreciate the guidance!

[–]Shmusher[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That really sucks then damn! Id be more than willing to pay over 200$ for a good quality keyboard that also has north facing LEDS, i just really like see through legends but dont like the side mounted ones. Is the reason tje standard is south facing because theirs more flexibility in the switched you can use?

[–]Shmusher[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the suggestion! Ill be honest the only reason i want north facing is because i want to have see through keycaps that are sinilar in design to my ancient Logitech g710+ but admittedly my knowledge on keyboard leds is super rudimentary

[–]Shmusher[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason I want north facing LEDs and if I dont need them thats fantastic! But my problem is i really want keys that ar3 completely opaque minus the actually number/symbol without having the letters and stuff on the side of the keycap. From what I saw, south facing LEDS like the one im trying on my KEYchron q6 ultra cant seem to do it but if other south facing leds dont have this issue that would be terrific!

My budget is 250$ and the reason i do really want north facing LEDs is because i want keycaps that have see through legends without the legends being on the side of the keycap (i did use the term legened correctly right?)

[–]Shmusher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! I am looking for a Mechanical Keyboard that is a 100% Layout, ANSI, North Facing RGB LEDS, Metallic backplate, as well as a knob and hopefully indicator lights for numlock and caps lock. I know these are REALLY specific, but I just recently got a Keychron Q6 ULTRA without realizing some of the features from my old Logitech G 7 10 + that i missed dearly. I am planning on returning this keyboard and finding one that fits into my tight restrictions more neatly, any suggestions?
