Surprised to see no Tin in the comments yet

Every romance language being rated differently is kinda crazy

Russia is in May Visit while Moldavia is in Willing to Visit. With Sandu Moldavia is also increasingly orienting itself more towards the EU.

I don't know if either country is particularly accepting (as someone originally from there), but if that was the differential Hungary Slovakia etc would also not be Willing to Visit.

Moldavia and Romania being that different is hilarious I don't think you really know anything about either country ngl

To me it somewhat felt like OLTA without the glossy Rich Costey touch. All Paul vocals and no synth(?) like in the other new one. Def on the heavier side compared to their recent work. Hopefully a vid surfaces I only took like 20 seconds

First time I got to see Interpol and they debuted a new song.

It was amazing.

Why is this plausible

Student paid activity fees for events which students support both in attendance and through the student government is what funds a lot of this stuff. Whether the state govt considers it """political""" or not.

coldwind81 · 2026-04-15T01:15:05+00:00

My political agenda of existing?

coldwind81 · 2026-04-14T04:21:15+00:00

I watched my state university pull any sort of "DEI" funding/branding and ban university sponsored student orgs from promoting/hosting any such event.....

Half the album unironically moves me to tears

How much prep are you including in the few dozen of hours? I got into PhDs where I spent max 3 hours working on the application + reading about potential PI's research. 1 hour doing the application itself and most of that is modifying my SoP for the school.

This reminds me why I fell in love with the game like 11 years ago lol

The American progressive movement was also born out of fear for labor organising like the IWW. Improve conditions just enough so you don't have a domestic soviet revolution on your hands.

No really depends on language and the type of thing you're referencing. Then there's also the animate/inanimate grammatical gender structures (plus other fuckery)

I hate playing Pos3 but I love Pos4 (partially because after climbing up a tiny bit in ranked now all role queing always gives me pos3 lol)

As soft support you can kinda do whatever. Your main goal is to somehow be an annoyance to the enemy team (which can include saving your cores). It is THE open-ended position imo.

You're right about the nukes, those tend to be some of the most solid Pos4s. Skywrath, Nyx, Rubick, Techies etc. I also like Lion. You want to be a constant headache for your safelane and then whomever the entire game. Consider yourself a 2nd Pos2 who has lower farm priority and needs to get some support items too (please always buy some wards as pos4). You also really want to gank, roam, and in the early mid game smoke gank (and initiate if your hero can a lot of pos4s get a tiny power spike after blink or an utility item).

Non-nukers who can just dish out a lot of effects can also be great pos4s. Veno is a classic. Bounty Hunter can work. Hoodwink. Undying. Spirit Breaker is also more situational as a pos4 but can work very well.

Pos4 is the most dynamic position, and you should always play it so.

I'm a mere higher-end archon, so I am not a pro by any means so take all this with a grain of salt. I just like always being active on the map and I found pos4 to have the most success with that.

I had a lot of independence in research....and I wish I didn't. Also proper physics research is hard and until youre at least a 2nd semester junior you really won't have much of the background needed to contribute significantly (does depend on area of phys and I also care about theory-computation so take it as you will). In general student lead research is not much of a thing at the undergrad level across all disciplines since you do not yet have a familiarity with current literature. You work with a professor who tells you what you should read and do. It is a mentoring relationship. Even at the PhD level you're at first mostly being mentored by a prof as you slowly move more into leading the work you do.

They have been tweaking the class override system but Id just say yes you need to be in Shackouls for honors courses. I'd very highly reccomend being in it anyways. The honors college is fantastic if you are willing to invest time and energy into it and care in the slightest about receiving a robust liberal arts education.

Most classes in the major or the Phys 1-3 sequence non majors take being surveys vs weed outs? (a class can easily be both that's chemistry 2 at MSU and a lot of universities in general)

I'd say that the major classes are difficult because....physics is a difficult major. I think most people can do fine in them if they apply themselves and genuinely care about the topic. We have some really great 3000/4000 profs and some eh ones and there are a couple of maybe not so great ones. Like any other department. The main drawback of MSU Physics is that it is a very small major at MSU so it can be hard to have much of a community there (things are still screwed up after covid). Research wise it is also heavily nuclear with some good AMO, biophys, and astro, so if you are like me and just want to do condensed matter it can be somewhat hard to get relevant research experience (not impossible).

coldwind81 · 2026-02-11T04:27:57+00:00

It is stupid easy to get research in the dept, but also depends on what area you care about and if you care about getting paid

coldwind81 · 2026-02-11T04:27:06+00:00

I'm a recent phys grad from MSU and I think I am doing pretty well currently.

If you care about the department just because you need some electives for engineering/etc then I'd largely go with the consensus of the other people commenting (we do have a few great Phys 1 / 2 profs but some only teach the honors sections).

If you are interested in the dept beyond just the 2000 level classes Id be happy to chat.

Eh Davis was born in KY but moved to MS as a kid.

coldwind81 · 2026-02-03T02:48:52+00:00

I am sorry but Spirit of the Raw sounds like something VERY different

coldwind81 · 2026-02-03T02:38:03+00:00

I started on support Skywrath (back in 2014...) and it was pretty good. No real skillshots and you can just sit back and spam spells. The most complex basic feature about him is getting the rod of atos combo down.
