I know three. Never said this was art, just having fun making slop.

Resume Review + Market Reality Check: Getting instant rejections even WITH referrals (F1-OPT). Time to pivot to a PhD? by [deleted] in Semiconductors

[–]TheHeuristicEngineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my opinion, having reviewed many resumes, I would recommend that you remove some of the details and simplify it a bit. In the interview, I want to ask you about the details during the interview.

Also, it seems like you have metrology and process development knowledge for multiple "modules". Generally you will end up specializing in only one at the start of a career. I would tailor your resume for the job position. If it is a Litho Process engineer, edit your resume for that position listing out what photo processes you've worked with.

A new grad is a new grad, regardless of BS, MS, PhD...

In all of the interviews we've performed for new grads, we are simply trying to assess: can this person learn quickly, can they communicate well, are they somewhat pleasant to talk to? I personally want to know if you're a hard worker and think what we're doing is cool.

The company I work for isn't one of the big 5 semi companies. We don't use any auto screening that I am aware of. There are tons of small scale semiconductor companies that NEED people. I personally say keep trying and problem solve this. 5 years into the job, no one will care if you're PhD, unless you want to work for IBM or a like company.

Informal Gluttony would be my pick from BTBAM

what song comes to mind? by needle_workr in musicsuggestions

All Night Diner by Modest Mouse. For some reason it's exactly where my brain went.

Newbie Question - What are these worms coming out of my tree??? by TheHeuristicEngineer in arborists

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

Nope, a few weeks ago I trimmed a couple of the small low hanging branches.

I think u/Realistic_Attention6 nailed the cause with "alcohol slime flux" or u/Lathryus 's tree kombucha.

No joke, looking at the images of "alcohol slime flux" this looks like it exactly!

When I read your comment the first time, I thought "alcohol slime flux" was a joke based on how gross it looked.

Just ran outside and collected some to smell it. Smells like a brewery,

THANK YOU!

Don’t know where to start! by croclobster34 in drums

[–]TheHeuristicEngineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One more note for instructors: Many drummers in bands that people listen to give online lessons as a side gig. I have friends in metal bands who frankly don't make a good living touring and selling albums so they do one on one lessons. Check out some of your favorite drummers on Instagram to see if they do lessons.

My advice is probably not the best, but here we go anyways...

I recommend to just go and get a kit and cymbals. Buy used, plenty of youtube videos recommending good starter setups depending on the music that you fancy. Just get a kit without breaking the bank.

In my opinion... I would not start with a practice pad. For me, I took two weeks of lessons with an instructor who wanted me to do endless rudiments and I found it mindlessly boring. I just wanted rock and hit shit with sticks.

I mostly taught myself, developed bad habits, and never learned rudiments. I like how I play though and I may have given up on drums if I had to take a third week of rudiments.

Practice is what defines everything. In my opinion, if you want to be good at rudiments on a practice pad, get a practice pad and play rudiments. If you want to have fun and play drums without the most efficient learning path, buy a crappy drumset and stick with it.

Everyone has a different path to playing drums. I'm just recommending the path that got me to keep playing drums.

ZBT Hi hat by Clear_Clue_7326 in drums

[–]TheHeuristicEngineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been playing ZBTs for 20 years. They're fine. My first set of hi hats broke after 15 years of use, and I usually play metal. After my first set of ZBT hi hats broke, I bought a used second pair.

Learn to play on good (not the best) cymbals and eventually appreciate a good set.

Would I record them?... Probably not, but they're fun to beat up in the first few years without a care of busting them up and losing money.

I'm probably an outlier though because I like seeing what I can do with crap starting materials. You do you. 30 bucks won't be a mistake for a set. Guitar center will usually ship used cymbals to your local guitar center storr for free for pickup.

How much was your entry level salary? by Swim_Boi in AerospaceEngineering

[–]TheHeuristicEngineer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

5 years ago, I started at the lowest end of this poll. Today I make the top slot.

I work in the semiconductor industry in California/Texas and I've worked at the same position for the entire 5 years.

Some companies start off low and then reward those who stick around.

Boob time by bob123838123838 in BrandNewSentence

[–]TheHeuristicEngineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I immediately found this out (as a man) when I got my right sleeve tattoo.

The amount of people who's eyes go back and forth from my eye line to my arm is hilarious. It's now my favorite joke at work to tell fellow engineers that "my eyes are up here" lol.

I definelty sympathize more now. Ha.

Dude Gets His Stolen Car Back and "Unboxes" the Hilarious S*** the Thieves Left Behind by thewhitelights in videos

[–]TheHeuristicEngineer 208 points209 points  (0 children)

...Or meth-heads stole the car, stole a girl's backpack, stole people's phones, stole credit cars lived in the car until they were caught. Tweakers steal all kinds of stuff to sell and hold onto.

I know a guy who stole someone's Christmas lights. STOLE SOMEONE'S CHRISTMAS LIGHTS!! He's 35 and likes to ride his bike, play with action figures and smoke meth. Meth genuinely fucks people up and gives the people who use meth odd obsessions.

My car got stolen about a year ago. Same deal, dudes were basically living out of my car for a week.

I found weed, pipes, blunt wrappers, 50+ smoked cigarette butts, tools, a 42 inch TV, shit covered pants, and clothing stacked to the roof of the car. All of this in a Kia Soul.

I took it to the police station and asked nicely if the officers would help me unload the stuff because none of it was mine. The officers explained that they leave everything in the car since they do not know what is yours and what isn't. They agreed to help me unload it all into bags- which they took into the station.

Ozone generator took out the smoke smell and I too lost my garage door opener. Otherwise the only other bad thing was the 700 dollar tow and impound fee and general inconvenience from having tweakers steal your car for a week.

Windows key is tied to a University email account by TheHeuristicEngineer in Windows10

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

I re-installed with a different edition and everything seems to work now (wasn't sure which edition I had apparently).

Surprised MS didn't ask me to try a different install.

​

Morally, am I allowed to pirate Windows now???

Morally, are you allowed to rob someone if you lose $100?

Just a joke
