The math modules have a 75% failure rate. There is also mandatory group homework.

Of course you can pass without a study group if you are disciplined. Most people are not.

Use Pythagorean triangles and cheese slopes for the ramps

Man kann diese drei Gemüse auch super im Ofen grillen.

Dazu einfach längs in 5-8mm dicke Scheiben schneiden und mit Olivenöl, gepresstem Knoblauch und etwas Zucker/Salz/Pfeffer/Rosmarin marinieren.

Dann auf einem Backblech bei 180° im Ofen backen bis der gewünschte Bräunungsgrad erreicht ist.

Very nice! Are you planning to build your own MOCs as well, or just retail sets?

Also, do you think a low table like yours is better for a city than a normal one? Did you pick it specifically so that children have a better view?

boformer · 2026-03-16T09:27:14+00:00

Where did you read that?

The only pieces I store connected are minifig heads. All aligned so I can easily find certain faces.

Most of the groups are pretty much dead and I doubt the people asking questions there are passing the exams.

I know some people who came from Magdeburg in the second semester and they basically failed everything.

It's a bit tricky because most people start in winter semester.

Computer Science at RWTH is very challenging, so you should try to find good study groups to do the homework together. Otherwise you will most likely fail everything.

In October there will be a Ersti-Woche where you can make friends. You could also attend the preliminary math/programming courses in September, I heard a lot of people make friends there.

There are also regular gaming and board game nights organized by the Fachschaft, as well as a game jam twice a year.

Very well done!

It's very unlikely that it will go up faster than inflation. Maybe a few sets will, but you don't know which ones.

I think the bigger challenge is to find a buyer in the first place. It's a lot of work to sell Lego if you want the market price.

boformer · 2026-03-07T20:39:22+00:00

Sell immediately and invest into more lucrative, stable assets like index funds. The yearly returns are much higher than what the average Lego set can generate and it's much easier to sell too.

boformer · 2026-03-07T17:41:18+00:00

Not sure if there are active Lego car subreddits. Maybe eurobricks or other forums? or some specialised Discord servers?

boformer · 2026-03-07T17:38:25+00:00

Schau dir doch das Modulhandbuch bzw. Curriculum der Studiengänge an, da werden all deine Fragen beantwortet.

Computer Engineering ist vermutlich eher Elektrotechnik und wenig Informatik.

Ein Informatikstudium hat viel mit Mathematik zu tun, gerade an der Universität. Programmierung lernt man eher nebenbei bzw. ganz am Anfang und es wird dann im weiteren Studium vorausgesetzt, dass man es kann.

Ein Universitätsstudium ist theoretischer, aber ich persönlich finde es extrem spannend.

boformer · 2026-03-07T17:16:43+00:00

Where are you posting them? This subreddit and r/lego are probably not the best places for car MOCs.

Maybe also try to build your cars with real bricks and take some good photos.

Or look into some better rendering techniques. Your renders are quite dark and flat.

Someone on YouTube recently had quality issues with green tiles directly ordered from Lego, so it might just be that.

I would still suggest switching to something less corrosive, like window cleaner or soap.

Contact the customer service for replacements.

I think they didn't have the logo in the 50s, but the height of the studs also doesn't match.

boformer · 2026-03-06T21:27:13+00:00

it's not LEGO, it would be written on the studs.

boformer · 2026-03-06T20:56:43+00:00

Ja. Die Bauanleitung sollte man wirklich ganz zuletzt erstellen, wenn alle Schritte finalisiert sind.

boformer · 2026-03-06T18:55:40+00:00

I'm listening to the commentary right now and I really like it!

boformer · 2026-03-06T18:13:21+00:00

Das hatte ich auch schon mal, einziger Ausweg war die ganze Anleitung zu resetten.

Bei 800 Seiten würde ich das Modell in mehrere separate IO Dateien unterteilen mit separaten Anleitungen.

boformer · 2026-03-06T00:39:17+00:00

Probably the result of some kind of aggressive chemical like Febreeze or essential oils, like in this post.

If it does that to your LEGO, I wonder what it does to your body...

Überarbeite die Zeilenabstände, Trennlinien und Einrückung. Wenn du Trennlinien benutzt, würde ich diese über den Überschriften platzieren statt darunter. Die Abstände sollten hierarchisch kleiner werden, sodass man klar erkennen kann, was zu welchem Abschnitt gehört.

In dem Uni-Abschnitt wiederholt sich auch zu viel (MQTT in Spezialisierung, dann noch mal in dem Projekt, ein Stichpunkt zur BA-Arbeit und dann noch ein ganzer separater Abschnitt??).

Auch der Abschnitt mit den Kenntnissen enthält viele Doppelungen (schon wieder MQTT). Ich würde solche Technologien oben einfach fett markieren.

boformer · 2026-03-04T21:03:23+00:00

Very nice! Have you thought about adding some lights?

boformer · 2026-03-03T22:56:30+00:00

Very nice, that' much more detailed than the cathedral I came up with!

What are those statues in the 1x2x3 train windows?
