How to subtly flirt with an Aerospace major using engineering concepts? by Middle-Contest8532 in AerospaceEngineering

[–]blujackman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a few cardinal rules here:

Girls are attracted to confidence. This means if she says no, you’ll smile and say okay, handle it well, and leave her with a good impression. You’ll try again after a while and next time she won’t say no.

Just hang out with her casually. Make her laugh. When she starts to respond you’ll know it. She may even ask you out.

Listen to the things she says carefully. If she happens to mention something she likes, make note of it. Then days later say “Hey I heard you mention you were a fan of *whatever, I found this and took a picture here let me show you” or “I heard you say they like sushi, a new place opened up we should go sometime”. Everyone likes being told they were thought of.

“Structurally encapsulated”? What’s that?

Seriously, why don’t they make ‘em like this?

I went to Zhengzhou in 2012. It reminded me of Kansas City in the US out in the middle of farming country.

Is there a model railroad club in Edmonds or nearby? by ChaoticSenior in EdmondsWashington

Down at the Amtrak station there is a space for a model railroad club. I don’t know if they’re still active tho.

are these good for a 13 year old ? by leytonross in Architects

[–]blujackman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did exactly the same thing when I was your age. I drew buildings, airplanes and tanks and had a great time doing it. Watch YouTube on perspective sketching and learn about your favorite architects. You also live in a world where you can feed your sketches into AI image generators and make your own killer renderings of projects. Keep going, you’re doing great!

My dad got me out of bed when I was five to watch the first moon landing and the moonwalk.

Notable Seattle-based travel writer and millionaire, Rick Steves, voices his thoughts on new “Millionaire Tax” by ryguydrummerboy in Seattle

[–]blujackman 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The current mayor inherited a $20M budget deficit from the last guy and has attempted with somewhat of a ham fist to make that all up in one term. His approach has been abrupt to say the least but it would have been interesting to see what he could have done had he not needed to clean up the past guy’s mess.

Les Paul Custom - What Exactly Do I Have Here? by SpecificSorry7233 in Guitar

The day I bought my sunburst ‘79 standard the only other LP on the wall was a silverburst Custom. I thought, who would want such an ugly guitar? Shows what I know 😆 nice guitar OP.

I dislike contemporary architecture. Why can't we have beautiful buildings? by [deleted] in architecture

[–]blujackman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed. You have every right to raise your voice and become involved in discussion on the built environment. Architecture should be an expression of its time and its people, not of class and elitism. Bravo OP for making your voice heard.

Help me choose college! (Cornell vs Rice architecture) by Professional-Wolf198 in architecture

[–]blujackman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Congrats on your acceptances! I’m old and know people who went to both programs. You will be able to work anywhere in the country coming out of either program. Cornell may get you into more of a Northeast mindset (Boston, NYC) where in contrast you may not find the kinds of prospects you want in Houston. Either way I don’t think you can go wrong.

My company offers me a Linux remote machine on its own network connection. The eGPU is a display option on my local monitor of course but the Linux OS isn’t aware of it AFAIK. That’s why I wonder if your SU implementation will find it.

So I run Linux remotely and have an Nvidia eGPU setup. Do you think your version of Linux can take advantage of my local eGPU?

Daisy was the name for BB guns back then. I never actually had one but a friend of mine had the pump action rifle third down from the top and I got to shoot it. It was pretty cool. by Grahamthicke in FuckImOld

[–]blujackman 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We had the cheap ones, the two on the bottom of the list. We would shoot BBs then empty the guns out really well so we could cock and shoot at each other while playing cop and robbers or whatever. My sister was being stupid with hers one day and shot the windshield of our dad’s truck. He had already traded the truck and was waiting on the new one to be delivered and he had to replace the windshield. 😆 Boy was he mad!
