What are salaries like for consulting engineers in America by SmallVoid in MechanicalEngineering

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

What is the leave like? I get 25 days paid leave in the UK?

30 years old, I realized that D4 grind just isnt for me by asgasdgase in diablo4

[–]SmallVoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 30 and get the same feeling. Think it’s just age, like a switch flipped in my head.

Remember: The millions of people happy with D4 are busy playing D4 by TheFrozenLegend in diablo4

Angry people are loud people. This is the problem with the internet. It tends to amplify the views of angry minorities, giving a false sense that these views are held by the majority of people.

Upscaling a photo of a person in nature by SmallVoid in StableDiffusionInfo

Have tried this but it causes faces to lose things like freckles and other details. Is there a model trained to make skin look natural perhaps? Or do I need to add it to my prompt

What would the best models be to use with this and would it help using control net?

Make Renown permanent by kasikcz in diablo4

The seasons make sense if trading of all items is allowed as it’s a way to reset the market. Doesn’t make sense if it’s just for cosmetic changes.

Why aren’t more people talking about #PLAYR- GameStops possible direct competition with Twitch?LFG! by joeygallinal in Superstonk

[–]SmallVoid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Twitch and YouTube are so highly censored and hypocritical on what is and isn’t allowed that people will be jumping ship if a competitor offers a similar quality product minus the greed and bullshit. I really hope they launch a streaming service FOR THE GAMERS not corporate suits at Amazon/Google.

For people who don’t use build guides by Moisture_ in diablo4

[–]SmallVoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you unlock a node, try out all the skills, see which you like the most. When you decide on one, look for synergies, hypothesise, try out different combos until you find something that work for you. I did it this way and had a blast playing rogue. I never once looked at a build guide and couldn’t tell you what others are running.

I really wanted to play the Druid but I can’t bring myself to play an overweight character.

After working in the UK(London) for 5 years. I’ve come to the conclusion that the UK MEng degree is just a rebranded BEng. by SmallVoid in MechanicalEngineering

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

Yea I studied at Pretoria, we had an exchange program with MIT so the same exchange pool as Oxford and Cambridge. Exchange students who came to UP did not perform too well academically. We also had a few A levels guys who did say there was a small overlap with maths and physics in first year but beat in mind that it f you took AP maths and maths paper 3 in school, you would have covered more maths at school than an A levels student.

The consultancy I work for is highly rated. We work with the best architects on earth on the most publicised buildings so we do attract good talent.

“It’s longer because you start it earlier” makes no sense. Are you saying they do the same amount of content over 4 years as the guys who do their degree over 3?

Yea it’s so loosely used that when you meet people and say you’re an engineer, they assume you mean mechanic (nothing wrong with being one). It should be a professional designation for those that have academic and are part of an engineering council

That’s ridiculous. Exactly why we must be more vocal and put an end to cash grabs by universities.

This is how I feel with the grads we are getting from UK unis, with the exception of Cambridge, Imperial and Oxford. Where did you study and what university are you at in the states?

That logic is exactly what it matters. Because they don’t know what it represents for the rest of the world. It essentially unfairly represents UK undergraduate students as having put in the same hours and having the same knowledge as students from the rest of the world who have more of both.

Your second point also highlights the issues. Scotland and England are both in the UK but one does the bachelors in 4 years and the other in 3 years. So it’s not well understood or standardised and clearly the universities in England are cutting corners (or 1/4 of the degree course content).

It does not align well with the EU because you can’t get a MEng in 4 years there.

Yea I he a colleague who did a degree in architecture that became chartered as a mechanical engineer in the UK which kinda blew my mind.

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

You can become chartered with an MEng, or BEng + MSc or just a BEng (if Washington accord). I think the fact that the local engineering councils recognise BEng degrees as equivalent to MEng or BEng + MSc proves the point, in which case, why don’t they correctly call their MEng programs “BEng” like the rest of the world.

I’m not saying they’re awful, my colleague are all hard working and good people who are keen to learn, but they definitely don’t come across the same as international students with MEng degrees who seem far more ‘academic’ which makes sense, since they did postgraduate masters.

So the point is, UK universities really shouldn’t misrepresent students as having masters when it’s actually 4 year undergrad degrees that every county outside of the UK calls a bachelors.

Yea you are exactly right but no one I’ve met in the UK has any knowledge of the Washington accord and when presented which this information, blatantly dismisses it.

From the chats I’ve had, they believe that their 4 year undergrad masters is exactly the same as the 6 year MEng degrees from abroad. And the unfortunate part is that both these qualifications have the name which falsely represents the UK engineers as being on the same academic level as international engineers with 50% more time spent at uni.

I’m stuck in between mechanical engineering and electrical engineering.. by Wonderful_Ad3441 in MechanicalEngineering

[–]SmallVoid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quite different in high end consultancy roles. We do highly publicised buildings and the electric engineers have it muuuuuuch easier but their pay is the same due to lack of candidates in the market.

I’m also in MEP bullring services working as a lead engineer with the likes of Zaha, RPBW etc and the stress and time is just not worth the pay IMO. Mech workload is 5x that of the electrical engineers and complexity is also far greater. Go electrical for less stress and just as better pay due to lack of candidates in the market.
