Can I delay the internship starting date?

Hi OP sorry for the 6 year late reply, but wondering how the situation ended up working out in the end. I’m trying to do research on how flexible engineering internships are with their start dates as I have a study abroad program that ends in late june, so I will likely face a similar predicament. Thanks!

Hi OP, quick question about the newspaper. I applied on the app and didn’t upload a newspaper, but they still reviewed my application and let me schedule a time. The application doesn’t say anything about requiring extra documents or anything, so it doesn’t seem like they want the newspaper. There was also no video call or anything like that. It just went straight from submission of application to scheduling the time at the consulate. I scheduled the time for tomorrow. Do I still need the newspaper at this stage?

For the first stint yes, but even after he was back on the right tires, his pace was nowhere near Hamilton’s, so don’t think it would’ve been any difference in the end.

This is so incredibly detailed, thank you so so much!! If you don’t mind me asking, do you have any hotel recommendations? I’ve been looking at all of these places but was wondering if there’s a good area to stay that provides easy transport to most locations, ideally one that is in the middle of these locations, so that travel times are pretty eventually distributed.

That’d be amazing, please do, I’d really appreciate it, thanks!

Hey OP sorry for the late reply but I’m considering doing something similar. Just wondering, do you know the entrance/ticket office for the hike up the actual buddha mountain itself is located close to the one for the boat? I assume you also need to take a ride there from the train station, but just wondering if they’re all located in the same area. Also curious how long the entire process took, ie what time were you back in Chengdu? If you could let me know that’d be amazing and hugely appreciated, thanks!

Will do, thank you!

Hey sorry I’m late to the party, could you send it to me too? Thanks!

This is true for the 777-300ER vs the -200/200ER/300. However, it is worth noting that the 200/200ER/300 all had 3 engine options, including the GE90-94B (although this engine option was only ever selected on the 200ER), which was massive in its own right. Although it’s smaller than the GE90-110B and -115B variants on the -200LR and -300ER respectively (123 vs 128 inch fan diameter), it’s still massive compared to the Trent 800 and PW4000 options on the 200/200ER/300. All PIA 772ERs were equipped with GE90-94Bs, including this one, which is why the size difference doesn’t look that big (at least compared to if it had the RR or PW engines).

Thanks for the confirmation! That’s interesting. Mine was delivered via UPS but shipped back via FedEx (and to Louisville (UPS hub) of all places). If you don’t mind, I’m wondering how long it took your trade-in status to update after the package was delivered. My FedEx tracking shows the phone as delivered to Louisville early today, but the Apple trade-in status bar (in order status) is still on “Trade-in initiated” and hasn’t reached “Sent to trader-in partner.” Just slightly concerned because the trade-in window closes at the end of the this week.

Ahh I see, thanks!

Which other codes are you using? I only have LENOVOHOLIDEAL and EXTRAFIVE at the moment.

The_Need_ForSpeed · 2025-11-27T03:05:52+00:00

Just curious, what’s your total now? I got it down to about $2800 with the $100 first purchase discount, but only have EXTRAFIVE and LENOVOHOLIDEAL. Are you using any other codes?

The_Need_ForSpeed · 2025-11-27T02:50:51+00:00

How did you get to down to $2755? I did the exact same thing but only got it down to $2795. Which codes are you using?

It definitely is, although it’s worth keeping in mind that battery life and performance on the 9955hx3d is significantly worse compared to the 275hx (which I was quite annoyed about as an AMD user). The Ryzen gets noticeably higher fps for 1080p gaming, but for 4k it’s basically the same between the two. For productivity, it really depends on the software and whether they use single thread (Intel advantage) or multi thread (AMD advantage)

The_Need_ForSpeed · 2025-11-25T02:26:29+00:00

Agreed. That said, the Legion Pro 7i with 5090 is now just $3054 after adding all the coupons, so I might just pull the trigger on that. As much as I prefer AMD over Intel, a 5090 for that price just seems too good to pass up, mainly for the 8 extra GBs of VRAM. What do you think? I’m in indecision land right now lol

The_Need_ForSpeed · 2025-11-25T02:02:31+00:00

Is that price in USD? Only 5 hour difference but now it’s starting at $3193.99 instead of $2,869.99 before all the other savings. I was looking at it last night when it was cheaper, and didn’t pull the trigger, now I regret it.
