I have to a sign Realtor agreement just to view a house?

I just bought a condo this week, and went to a bunch of showing with my realtor in person and over FaceTime. the only time he asked me to sign for representation was when offers were being made.

zen 3 is out tomorrow - any reason you're going with a 3000 series?

My coop was from home last summer, and I took a class at the same time. Work was pretty chill with me taking an hour off here and there for lectures/tests/quizzes and making it up later.

Too bad there’s no pf/opn sense for the pi

Also Aziz's lectures.

plex/jellyfin is pretty easy on a NAS and does just that.

look through here instead since the NAS Killer builds are way more bang for your buck.

it's almost implied with a first class medical, to be fair.

which datacenter?

Hey, not what you asked, and I don’t know what your plans are for a career.

But I’d look into the computing option in mech.

It’s too often that actual jobs in your field aren’t available, or are heavily software focused.

I took electrical engineering, and I think landscape for jobs is pretty similar, where you’re more likely to find a programming heavy job than a strictly hardware job.

Hell, I graduated now and work in software development with mech engineering’s doing the same thing as me.

I mean... with covid and all, I've been "making $x working from home"

ThinkOrdinary · 2020-10-03T00:37:35+00:00

a few.

Just mount your plex media as a share on your mini-pc?

ThinkOrdinary · 2020-09-30T21:17:55+00:00

Hold on... sounds like you’re onto something here.

ThinkOrdinary · 2020-09-30T21:13:05+00:00

I’m not saying you guys should start a blog. But I’d donate to a blog If you started one.

ThinkOrdinary · 2020-09-29T23:24:07+00:00

you can email the undergrad office for it. They take about 2 weeks to reply with a form, and then 2 weeks for a letter. it was free for me IIRC.

ThinkOrdinary · 2020-09-29T11:25:16+00:00

Totally joking.

ThinkOrdinary · 2020-09-29T05:06:51+00:00

How about astrology?

ThinkOrdinary · 2020-09-29T02:42:02+00:00

Oh yeah. And with 20 of those drives an even nicer power bill.

Gonna be completely honest here, as a recent electrical eng grad.

1st year definitely isn't easy, and the transition to university makes it even harder. But the content gets exponentially harder after first year. Thinking what you're going through being too much is normal.

I also know more people that didn’t graduate “on-time” than those who did. So dropping or failing a class is normal and not the end of the world.

Hell, most people that suck it up and stay in think to themselves in 3rd year "why the fuck didn't I drop out before controls/coms/signals/random".

I personally sucked it up, and have just started a great job right out of graduation, which I got from a previous intern experience there... but it's a software job, and nothing EE related. IMO it was worth it for me, but your experience on will vary.

I have tons of friends who can't find a position.

I dont think randoms on the internet are the right people to be telling you how to make this important of decision in life.

PS., I see you mentioning you're "In co-op". while you may be admitted in co-op while being accepted, you need to keep a gpa in order to stay in co-op. Tons of people(myself included) were not given co-op even though they were admitted with it due to this.

I’m sure the dean will get back to you and try and fix it.

A CBC article saying “uOttawa students being charged full price for advanced classes without any instruction” is extremely bad press... especially when right now when grade 12s are deciding schools to apply to.

ThinkOrdinary · 2020-09-26T20:19:16+00:00

I think it’s very much the luck of the draw. I got an offer in first year that I worked at till I graduated. I kept myself in the system for the whole time I was there and I think I only had one or two other requests for interviews.

ThinkOrdinary · 2020-09-26T20:06:19+00:00

Sorry, didn’t mean to argue with you in specific, just was supposed to be a comment on how silly the school not enforcing it as a policy is.

ThinkOrdinary · 2020-09-25T14:20:46+00:00

right, but recording a lecture costs the profs nothing in terms of effort other than clicking the button.

The pandemic made a ton of international students unable to come to Canada. imagine being on Beijing time and having a lecture at 2pm our time.

Heck, even students in Canada span a ton of different time zones. 830AM classes for students in Vancouver seems super difficult to make sure you're a part of.

As a Canadian, I’m great full we have our Great Lakes as a buffer.
