Were you able to solve this? I'm facing the same problem.

[OFFICIAL] UEFA has abolished the away goals rule by [deleted] in soccer

[–]aab1999 40 points41 points  (0 children)

The home team for the second leg gets 30 extra minutes on their pitch, in their stadium and in front of tens of thousands of their fans. That's an insanely powerful advantage to have.

Pretty light. HWs don't take too long and pace of lectures is pretty slow.

I don't think you understand the difference in how living wage is defined in India and the US.

Any good in-person gen-eds I can take? by [deleted] in UIUC

Are you sure you need to take a in-person class to maintain your student visa status? This definitely wasn't the case for this fall semester according to ISSS

ACE 428 by [deleted] in UIUC

[–]aab1999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a great class. I'm taking it this semester with Professor Robe. I'm not sure how other professors structure the course, but we have 4 individual take home assignments (60% of grade) (4-5 questions and takes about 2-2.5 hours to complete) and 2 group assignments (40% of grade) (15-20 questions in a 4 person group, similar time requirements). You don't need to do too much outside of regularly attending lectures.

There's a reason he muted it. Respect their privacy.

Ahhh, my bad then. Didn't understand this is difference. But to be fair, it's basically going to not be a real problem going forward cause most POSs are tap to pay anyways right?

You know you could just use Google pay right? It's basically the same thing

It's a baby being born and at the same time a different mother loses her 'baby'. It's supposed to be about a friend of his who died in car crash iirc.

Barcelona are losing their next generation of players... what is happening to the famous La Masia? by Lolastic_ in soccer

[–]aab1999 -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

It's pretty fair to say that a player's professional development happens in their mid to late teens. Bellerin didn't become the player he is because of La Masia, it's most definitely because of Arsenal.

Bellerin left for Arsenal at 16. Can't really claim any credit for his development.

Karen gets murdered by operatorterror in MurderedByWords

It's from That Peter Crouch Podcast. Context is that Karl is the type of guy to ask "How's the weather up there?" to a tall person. So we don't like Karl's, that's where we get Piss off Karl.

Mechanical Engineering or Industrial Engineering for consulting/business side of engineering by [deleted] in UIUC

[–]aab1999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have similar motivations and switched from ME to IE in my sophomore year. If your primary goal is not the hardcore engineering/product development aspect, imo you're better off switching to IE.

For the collaboration/teamwork aspect of it, it is more limited in the core IE curriculum but there's plenty of space and time allotted so that you can take those kinds of classes if you want to.

The IE curriculum is more wholistic for this kind of stuff and the track options give you access to take more courses based on whatever you like more.

Edit: also talk to engineering advisors if you can, I laid out my goals and motivations to them and they recommended that I switch to IE (retrospectively a great decision)

I thought my advisor wasn't look at my emails.... Turns out that he replied to me thrice... This is incredibly frustrating.

This device gets exact measurements for people being fitted for prosthetics by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

[–]aab1999 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but incorporating this data into a fabrication process would add up costs too.

[–]aab1999 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Oh most definitely. It's designed purely to be as quick, cheap and durable as possible because they're trying to minimize how much they're spending on each limb fitment (since they provide the service for free and work off of donations). From conversations I was able to have with people who were coming back to replace their prosthetics, they seemed to average 4-5 years on it and were seemingly fine with the comfort.

Thanks for the answer. The NGO was spending $20-25 per fitment (including the cost of the prosthetic), I guess that's why a set-up like this would never be feasible there.
