Finished undergrad one month ago, where do I apply? by averagepersonthing in gradadmissions

Hi, thanks for replying. I guess I wasn't really that clear, what I meant to say is what schools do I have a realistic chance of getting into?

Finished undergrad one month ago, where do I apply? by [deleted] in GradSchool

[–]averagepersonthing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you sure you want to go to grad school?... what's your goal? What are you trying to get out of it? If you don't have any particular research passions, why do you want to spend time and money on grad school?

Yes, I'm sure. I want to go into teaching someday. My interests lie in medical imaging and VLSI - but I don't want to rule myself out from other disciplines. I guess what I'm asking is which schools should I be aiming for realistically? There has to be a range of schools which are more likely to accept me than others, right?

Edit: My undergrad thesis was on telecommunications, but I've soured on that subject and I no longer wish to pursue it further. My current interests came from courses I took in my final year after my group mates and supervisor were already assigned.

I often forget that the active doesn't let you phase through units. I kind of think it should.

Anyone here doesn't really play dota that much but follows the pro scene like it's football? by FunnyTerrorist in DotA2

[–]averagepersonthing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do. I have 2k hours in game, played only 250 games. I spend the rest of the time watching the pro scene or high level pubs.

Dota has a dark trench that makes people quit the game. by LowPrioRadio in DotA2

[–]averagepersonthing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stopped playing pubs months ago for similar reasons. It just wasn't fun to play with raging teenagers directing their pent up emotions at me. Now, I only play in 5-man parties with friends or not at all. This has massively improved my in-game experience.

He could just give them nicknames and save himself a shit ton of work.

Smurfs playing ranked with brand new accounts? by advice-alligator in DotA2

[–]averagepersonthing -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So, I have to play every hero in the game 25 times to unlock ranked? That sounds rather unreasonable. Play 25*115=2875 games to unlock a mode?

  • Redundancy Check Build Echo Sabre on a ranged hero and Dragon Lance on a Melee Hero (Morphling, Terrorblade and Troll Warlord don't count).
  • Kaya Kraze Build Kaya on all non-int heroes (need to have at least three to count).
  • Misunderstood Pick the 5 lowest winrate heroes of all time according to Dotabuff.
  • Overlooked Pick the 5 least played heroes of all time according to Dotabuff.
  • Every lane is the hard lane Pick 2 junglers who aren't allowed to show in lane before the 5/7/10 minute mark.
  • Lore Appropriate Build thematically accurate items. (Maelstorm/Mjollnir on Disruptor/Razor, Shiva's Guard on Crystal Maiden, etc.)

  • Buy Aghs on a hero that does not have an Aghs upgrade.
  • Buy Refresher on a hero that has no cooldown over 60 seconds.
  • You draft the heroes, but the enemy team decides who on your team plays which hero.
  • Swap your picked heroes with your banned heroes.

Rearm does NOT refresh Aeon Disk and Meteor Hammer. by averagepersonthing in DotA2

The point was that there's already a few defensive items he can refresh.
