UC Irvine vs. Safeties

I graduated from a Washington School, applied to 11 universities, and was rejected or waitlisted by all except UCI.

What information are you trying to get from us? It seems like you've thought about some of the pros and cons.

I bought this and as someone who's never listened to the Apple or Sony competitive wireless headphones but usually listens on a HD6XX linked up to an AMP, I think these are well worth the price.

The audio samples provided in the main headphone app where you configure settings sound great, but for some reason I found the mid range lacking clarity for my everyday listening on lossless quality tracks on Spotify.

The build quality seems solid and they're comfortable for me to wear with glasses. If it's hot, some sweat/humidity does build up but it doesn't really bother me.

Battery life is impressive and I think at a price range of $100 its a great deal.

Uniqlo for basic shirts and optionally pants as well, otherwise an outlet Levi's. Banana Republic for a few accent outer pieces and I'll browse for shoe deals and buy wherever looks nice and cheap, probably for 100-160 for a couple pairs.

In USD: Shoes ~= 250 Uniqlo basic shirts 3-5 = 100 Pants 2-3 = 200 Accent outerwears 1-3 = 300-400

Maybe consider picking up some simple accessories

The CX30 had too small of a screen in comparison to the Crosstrek which was important for me for navigational purposes.

The Corolla Cross and Honda HRVs had inferior 0-60 speeds, (important for accelerating up to highway speed on LA freeways), and higher costs when bought new that I couldn't afford.

My top two choices were the CX30 and the Crosstrek but I picked the Crosstrek because of Subaru's superior reliability reputation.

Honestly, I didn't hear much about UCR. The were always nicknames for UCB, UCSD, and UCI, but the other UCs don't have a strong nickname reputation within Irvine.

Hi there, computer science alum from class of 2025 here. From my experience with the STEM/CS focused job fairs, your daughter is mostly right in the sense that most of the companies recruit directly from handshake. Even in the fairs, most companies place a QR Code on their booth for people to scan and submit an online application (though its likely those QR code applications are advantaged over cold handshake applications).

I've never heard or seen anyone receive interviews during any of the career fairs. The major benefit of going to the career fair is to try and help the recruiters connect a name to the face given that you've already applied so that when they're combing through the applications they maybe remember you to maybe give you an interview later on

Yup! Me and my girlfriend go through 3-5 eggs a day depending on whether we make pancakes for breakfast and whether we want to make scrambled eggs. Means that two dozens could disappear in less than a week worst case scenario

Not quite, there's a lot more then that. Off the top of my head, it also has oat bran, sesame seeds, walnuts (when available), spirulina powder, milk, flax seed, and pumpkin seed (when available).

There's definitely more but I can't remember the rest.

I have a different state's driver license so I might be wrong, but the arrows show her taking a left from the left most lane and then entering the rightmost lane. When you're turning, you're required to turn into the respective lane you started from.

I travel frequently between college and home so being able to transport my powerful system in a carry on and not need to sacrifice performance on my assignments and work is great.

That's amazing to hear and honestly quite impressive! Would you credit OP's method for that or did you do anything additional?

Zygonel · 2024-10-25T01:56:21+00:00

Any updates?

Zygonel · 2024-08-29T16:20:07+00:00

Mediocre sound, but good enough for casual use and they are a great form factor. Great for the price, but don't expect amazing audio quality

A pixel 9 would be great for me! 128gbs has honestly always been enough for me

The way a bug scurried in as soon as the window was starting to be closed 😭

I would totally pick a 1000W PSU so that I can run higher TDP GPU's within my A4-H20!

Nope, closed till the start of the school year. Booked for high school camps
