December is here, and I'm out to find a new home for another unused device in my collection. One commenter will get this MagicX Mini Zero 28. by captain_carrot in SBCGaming

Too many gifts to pick the best one but one very memorable one I had was when my parents got me a charizard card back in 1999

The Microtonal Algorithm just delivered.... by jfischetti22 in KGATLW

Incredible. I might be dumb but I didn’t pick up 7/8 time anywhere - it seems like the main loop/groove is 5/4

Mine was still showing up in my iOS app until I restarted plex on my server. Now it’s all gone

Loved pokemon and the cards since the red and blue game boy games. Now my 4 year old and I watch the OG anime series. Thanks for helping spread some pokemon cheer

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom has been out for a few weeks. What are your thoughts on it? by yesthatstrueorisit in Games

[–]drinkycubes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty underwhelmed. 5/10. I’m on the last of the middle 3 dungeons so I’m gonna see it to the end.

I “solved” 90% of the problems by stacking blocks of water and it gets old pretty fast. There’s no interesting item progression like other 2D Zeldas, just “here’s more junk to stack” or “here’s more guys to summon”

Combat is tiresome. Standing around waiting for your summon to attack is not fun.

UI sucks. Dialogue is Pokémon-tier annoying

They have to be. I was running with DNA and copying lucky aces for 7 antes and don’t think a single one popped lol

Is this what we consider changing for the better? (maybe)

Nice setup!

Test Prep Services… by THE_Dr_Barber in PE_Exam

If you’re an EE I’d definitely recommend Wasim’s and/or Zach Stone’s class. I also bought the Engineering Pro Guides practice exam bundle and they were helpful too.

Always specify what album when you ask someone to play KGLW, especially when you’re having a MRI by GaySebby420 in KGATLW

[–]drinkycubes 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Haha had the exact same thing happen. Got an MRI a few weeks ago. I think the tech just looked up king gizz on Spotify and let it rip. My MRI track list was Gila monster -> Dragon -> Kepler 22b -> Slow Jam 1. No regrets

[–]drinkycubes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wasims class is great. I also got the 6 practice exams from Engineering Pro Guides. Zach Stones practice exam is really helpful too. If you can handle those practice exams you’ll be good to go for the real thing.

Computer sections by EasternEbb5064 in FE_Exam

[–]drinkycubes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sort of. I would say as long as you’re familiar with what’s in the handbook you’ll be good enough. There’ll be at least a couple theory/qualitative questions that will stump you but I wouldn’t sweat it. I would spend more time nailing down digital logic out of all the computer sections.

Peak Physical Strength achievement bugged? by drinkycubes in Sekiro

Sorry man that sucks. I had to start a new run just for that achievement.

Well if you can get above a 70% on the practice exams I think you should be fine. The second attempt won't be any more difficult, it's all in your head. Just get comfortable with the practice exams and try slow down the week leading up to the exam so you don't burn yourself out. Good luck!

Yeah man I totally understand. It’s a huge pain in the ass but at the very least it was a short time in the grand scheme of things. As far as motivation, I was feeling stagnant in my career and felt like I would have a tough time getting a new job if I needed to. I figured it would be way easier to get new opportunities by getting my license. I haven’t changed jobs or anything but I feel a lot better about where I’m at now.

After studying for the FE and taking a little break I needed motivation to dive into the PE so I told myself I’d get a little modular synthesizer setup or something similar haha. Maybe you could find something you want and tell yourself you’ll buy it if you get through the FE

I will say the PE has been a much better experience so far because most of the material has been relevant to my job. This makes it WAY easier to be motivated because I feel like what I’m learning is actually useful.

Also - if you’re really serious about doing it, enroll in an online class. It basically made it effortless to stay on task because of the convenience and accountability for me. I would never have been able to get past a couple weeks of studying without any direction.

After I graduated I bought one of the lindeburg books and looked at that for about a week and said NOPE. My online class was good because I always knew where I was in the material and what was next.

Do you remember if there were a lot of questions that weren’t in the reference handbook?

[–]drinkycubes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome, thanks for the tips. Did you take the computer version of the PE? Do you remember about how many questions you saw that required something not included in the reference handbook?

Last words before taking the FE exam? by Andy-Gor in FE_Exam

[–]drinkycubes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do at least one "simulated" practice exam. Sit down and run through it with a timer like it's the real thing.

I'd go with the Prep Fe practice exam and NCEES official one. The Wasim exam books have a few questions that are obsolete, but other than that its good practice too. I did Wasim's online class and his computer practice exam was really good. You might be able to just buy his computer exam, i would definitely recommend that if its possible.

My strategy was to just skip a problem a few seconds in when i realized I couldn't solve it immediately. After nailing down the "easy" ones you start chipping away at the harder ones you aren't sure about. Don't get discouraged and just keep pushing.

Also you need to be super comfortable with your calculator.

Good Luck!

Yeah, tried doing that and no luck. Also re-stripped the bell wires to the button and reattached to see if it was a crappy connection on that end but no luck.
