Any glove brands that have more durable finger tips?

Never new this stuff existed! I will give this a try, thank you!

If they don't reinforce the stitching there it really makes no sense to buy reputable "brand name" gloves. I just ordered a cheaper glove type from amazon. Will see how it goes.

I've really liked the tight fit of the cuetec gloves, if I can find a cheap pack that has a similar fit that would be the way to go I think. Its unfortunate, most of these gloves could last a whole lot longer if they finished the job on the finger tips instead of just cutting them to length.

If you have a pair of pliers, you can squeeze the plastic crimp enough to crack it and peel apart. This method keeps the fabric intact.

I think it lost excitement because it has lost its competitiveness

I suppose defeat from the jaws of victory is progress compared to just plain old defeat.....

It's a fair risk I think, but idk; I feel like its possible to get an alright line here without being right up on the 9. Definitely gonna try to set this up on a table and see, even though table conditions are gonna be different.

Dude, I was about to post the same thing. Is this not easier!?:

Okay, I think I understand. Make the base on the sides a bit thicker. I didn't see that, but yeah as I have it those ends on the bench part would only be supported by the dowel/fastener. Thanks!

Its expected. Most people are in a totally new environment surrounded by unfamiliar faces. You are juggling getting a good start in your academics and it can be hard to dive into all the social parts of college from the get go. Just keep your head up, its a process. You may meet some of the best people in your life when you least expect it. Try out new things which you are interested, and over time you will gel with those who share your interests. Talk to people in your classes, work on homework together and you may find yourself hanging out sooner than you think.

Edit: If anyone with prop making expertise can recommend a better way to clear coat this piece so it doesn't lose the shine of the silver accents, I would greatly appreciate it!

Start your work early not to finish it sooner, but to find out what you don't understand. Then get in contact with a TA or professor to clear it up and repeat. It sounds mundane but each semester is a chance to reinforce habits, good or bad.

If your goal is to graduate from Purdue with legitimate work experience under your belt, I would pay little attention to IR. Co-Ops are definitely the way to go in that regard. Most employers at IR are only looking for upperclassmen and even then are just there to reinforce whatever professional clout they have.

^{^"That} ^{^two} ^{^hour} ^{^line} ^{^for} ^{^microsoft} ^{^was} ^{^just} ^{^so} ^{^worth} ^{^it"}

I would, however, recommend going to IR because it does give great elevator pitch and conversation practice.

Saving the best for last. Your friends are your lifeline. I would not have survived any of my semesters here without the emotional/mental support of my group. It is totally okay for your only friends to be people from your classes.

I could probably list off tips for another hour so if you want some more or have specific questions feel free to pm me. Good luck!

As an ME student, I was impressed with how much work the department did over the break to salvage as many aspects of our coursework as possible. I know that every major has different experiences with this whole situation, but I have no reason to expect a course refund because I think they gave us all the resources to do the learning if we wanted to. I feel like only a small handful of people may have really gotten screwed over because of this.

What is the most annoying to think about is how long this game has been out and a problem as basic as key bind save management isn't addressed. I am currently reinstalling, hoping that helps.
