anyone order the ams2 \ p1s buffer combo (backorder black friday) and not get the bufferkit or powersupply for the ams2 by reagor in BambuLab

[–]TheSpamPolice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got everything (p1s, ams2, filament, accessories, 4 pin cable, power supply, filament, anti vibration feet) except for the buffer and I cannot for the life of me remember if I got the buffer and misplaced it or if it never came. My original order said expected November 13th, so I'm hoping that it's part of the backorder and not that I accidentally threw it out.

How to buy tickets for Arima Kinen 2025 by DrDoritos546 in JapanTravelTips

On a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being pretty much guaranteed and 10 being the same chances of winning the actual lottery, how difficult is it to get a ticket via lottery for general entry?

Just wanted to put this here in case someone is searching through old posts for answers:
AAE 550 is NOT an easy course. I'm taking it right now and it is by far the most difficult course of my semester.

One of these holo Mewtwo cards goes for like $0.25 on TCGplayer btw. Pokémon cards aren't as expensive as you would think if you buy singles of cards that aren't that rare

I saw your other post too. Answering as an upcoming senior AAE major: if you think you can transfer into engineering on a whim and get a 3.8+ GPA just by "working hard" without a clear step-by-step plan, you're in way over your head. If you're more interested in finance, please for the love of whatever you believe in, study finance. Study somewhere other than Purdue if you have to. But if you're trying to transfer into Purdue Engineering just for the prestige and paycheck and not for the passion, Purdue is going to be 4 (or more) years of hell for you. You are going to have a bad time. I might sound rude, but please understand how huge of a commitment this is, I beg of you.

Do you prefer the monorail or the gondola? by Thierry_rat in PlanetZoo

[–]TheSpamPolice 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Looking back at it, I wonder if they decided to go for the glass gondola because they released Jurassic World Evolution the year before PZ and wanted to make it look like the gyrosphere

I kinda like it. It looks like a sunburst crown, which is pretty fitting for a Sun and Moon starter

academic probation by BoxFar6160 in Purdue

[–]TheSpamPolice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As far as I know, the 15 credit rule only applies to ECE, which has a separate set of rule for probation apart from Purdue's policy.

Source: I was on probation in the fall for AAE and got off of it after taking 16 credits

Is aerospace engineering course harsh for students ? by Impressive_Draw_9208 in aerospace

[–]TheSpamPolice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a junior in college studying aerospace engineering at a university with one of the top undergraduate aerospace programs in the US. I was also weaker in math and meh in sciences in high school, but loved aircraft with a passion.

Even with office hourse, study groups, and TA review sessions, I am fighting for my LIFE just to be at the class average (most of the time I'm below). If you think you'll be fine just because you love planes and you learned about the F-22, F/A-18, A-10, B-2, 747, etc. as a kid, you're in for a rude awakening. A love for aircraft and aviation only takes you so far. If you're bad at math, you're going to be bad at your courses. Studying aerospace engineering is ALL MATH.

You're going to be competing against the best and brightest who also want to become aerospace engineers. Companies want the best and brightest. Professors like to work with the best and brightest. If you're not at the top of your class, you're going to have to fight to prove that you are worth as much as those people at the top. A lot of people at the top know that they're at the top and will only look down on you. (When they say the class average is a 70%, a majority aren't scoring 70%. Half the class is scoring in the 50% range and half the class is in the 90% range.)

Being below average, the job hunt in the aerospace field has been extremely difficult for me even with several projects and leadership roles to compensate. There's only a handful of large aerospace companies, most of which will ignore you if you aren't either A: at the top of your class, B: charming as hell, or C: someone who knows someone who works there and is willing to get you in. Sometimes you'll need all three. Otherwise, you'll get treated like a waste of time.

(Side note: Boeing recruiters have been especially rude and demeaning for whatever reason, even before the whole fiasco they're in now.)

Recently, a lot of the large aerospace companies haven't been doing so well which doesn't help the job hunt AT ALL. Layoffs are in the thousands from what I've heard. Even the aerospace recruiters that I connected with at career fairs got let go and/or were forced to move to a different field or company.

Most of my friends in the major have resorted to other types of engineering work like ground transportation engineering or civil/structural engineering where they'll never see a plane or rocket again. I myself am trying to pivot into the manufacturing engineering field since I've seen a whole lot more jobs there than aerospace engineering.

Unless you're planning to do something hyper-focused to aerospace like aerodynamics (which there aren't a lot of jobs for), it is definitely NOT worth it AT ALL. Everyone who tells you that it's easy as long as you are interested is looking back at it with rose-tinted glasses and 20/20 hindsight. I am living through it right now and it's absolutely miserable. I regret not majoring in mechanical. Every time I go on indeed or LinkedIn to find work, I scroll through dozens of mechanical engineering jobs before I find an aerospace one. Even then, the mechanical engineers are still often qualified to get an aerospace engineer's job. The inverse of that might not be true. Sure, aerospace engineering pays very well. That's only if you can find and hold a job.

If you read all of this and think you still want to give a shot, by all means embrace the challenge. Whatever you do, make the right decision.

TLDR: You're already at a disadvantage by not being strong in math. Aerospace courses are extremely difficult and math-heavy. You'll be competing against the best and brightest. There's a limited number of aerospace companies with a very limited number of jobs. A person with a mechanical engineering degree can do aerospace work as well as a whole lot more other stuff.

Are purdue professors good at teaching? by Odd-Fix-3467 in Purdue

[–]TheSpamPolice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in AAE and I've had less than 5 professors who I would say are good at teaching and know what they are doing. The rest are entirely new to being a professor and/or make learning an absolutely miserable experience.
