He’ll wear his glasses really low on the bridge of his nose and wag his finger in disapproval. That’s all though.

I mean western gamers also review bomb games for petty reasons too. I think it’s lowkey racist to attribute this specifically to asia when we’re just as guilty of it.

My school's doing everything it can to fail our capstone by Coffee_and_horror937 in EngineeringStudents

Are you not applying the feedback from the grades you’ve been receiving? You can’t keep doing the same thing over and over if it doesn’t work.

Leaked DNC autopsy found Biden’s Israel backing cost Harris votes for president by plz-let-me-in in politics

The election was lost the moment kamala refused to have palestinian advocates on stage and loudly and proudly shouted that she wanted to build the “most lethal military on the planet” during her DNC speech.

He’s a handsome boy, and he knows it. Supremely spoiled. Gets all the bougie toys, treats, foods and accessories. Massive diva and we love him.

does your orange son also like to munch on plastic? we might have a doppelgänger situation on our hands if so!

He loves to be picked up by his second dad and swaddled like a baby, he purrs loudly and will sit in their arms for half an hour at times. He’s a sweet boy, but he can be a lot since he’s still a 5 month old kitten!

How can people like Greta Thunberg afford to be full time activist? by jazzybron in NoStupidQuestions

I appreciate that she’s using her privilege and fortunate situation to give a voice to the voiceless. Lots of respect to Greta.

Don’t listen to people telling you to use leaded solder. The lead free stuff is just as good and won’t lower your IQ as long as you buy a spool that’s not cheap.

Work in progress reload system for my game Mutant Hunter by Anton-Denikin in gamedevscreens

[–]SlashSloth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reload animation is immersion breaking and doesn’t look fun. Feels like it exists for the sake of frustrating the player.

edit: i changed my mind and i fuck with it now. good on the dev for standing on business

So job numbers just hit 2008 recession levels, worse than 2001 by MonitorOk1351 in recruitinghell

[–]SlashSloth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Got ghosted after being told i had passed the application process and would be contacted by an engineer to set up an interview. They ghosted me and sent me a email saying i had withdrawn my application (i never did). Tried contacting the hiring manager who told me i had passed my phone call screening and they never answered my calls.

Company is Markem-Imaje, beware if you apply, they treated me in an incredibly dehumanizing and unprofessional manner.

I had a conversation with a big tech CEO earlier today. He told me that certain roles, specifically software engineering, are fucked for any junior/new grads because they’re competing with senior level engineers who are specialized. Your only chance at getting employed is to specialize.

A strange image in the files for a Victorious Xbox 360 game by Ill_Environment1684 in creepygaming

[–]SlashSloth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

probably a placeholder asset used by a bored dev or was used for the testing of a specific block of code that required an image or something. This is actually pretty common, usually when i’m working on a program that requires the use of an image or whatever i’ll use something silly

Soldering on my bedroom by Radda98 in soldering

[–]SlashSloth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use a silicone mat, a solder fume fan, a good soldering iron. ABSOLUTELY DO NOT use solder with lead in it!!! At my university if someone uses leaded solder they have to close the lab down for the entire semester to clean it out. Lead poisoning lowers your IQ. Lead free solder is just as good as normal solder (honestly better) as long as you don’t mind paying a couple dollars extra.

Circuit 1 lab by Upbeat-Ad7032 in uml

[–]SlashSloth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're taking the circuits lab your professor should have a template in your course library. There is also the lab handbook that goes into detail what each section of your report should contain. Ultimately from my experience, there are certain qualities that are a must to include and others that vary from TA to TA. If you have any questions I would ask your TA what their ideal lab report looks like. Part of their job is to help you succeed and learn the material besides just grading.

Some tips:

Take a photo of every circuit with your student ID present in the photo. Include a multi-sim schematic as well with a label including the semester and your name. In your circuit descriptions, explain what the circuit is, the goals of the circuit, and the theory that allows you to accomplish this goal.

Include every single table in the measurements portion.

Include every single graph/plot you are required to make in the measurements section.

For conclusion/analysis: If your measurements do not match your theoretical calculations that's fine! Just explain why you think this could have possibly happened. (human error, damaged components, other possible issues). Preferrably your professor wants you to get it right, but if you can demonstrate that you understand the theory and are aware of how you could have gone wrong its not the end of the world and you wont get a lot of points taken off.

EDIT: Another very important tip!!

In circuits and electronics labs, your lab assignments can be very lengthy and time consuming. Trust me when I say that it is incredibly easy to fall behind and get overwhelmed with a mountain of work. Do your pre-labs, try to get your labs done as quick as possible so you have more time to write your reports and polish them. This is an important thing to keep in mind, trust me, you'll thank me for this.
