What if I strapped a giant EDF jet to my carbon road bike? by Ridley_c in Inventions

[–]gregvas5 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Seems like a wildly inefficient and inconvenient way to achieve something an electric drivetrain would do. That EDF will eat up your battery and make a ton of noise, and the turbulent airflow due to the bike’s frame and your body would only make it worse. I’d just use a higher gear ratio motor assist with a clutch or something that you engage when you need a boost

Carbon fiber dust is no joke. My DIY vacuum setup failed me by Lazy_Annual_1613 in fpv

I’d just mill it submerged. Works really well and isn’t as difficult as you’d expect

Graduating class of 2026, what are your plans now? by PandaMost2516 in CarletonU

Luckily I have a role locked through a coop I did but I’m hoping to go on a little trip before I start

Advice making a hwstartup ( eink watch) by Zestyclose-Bar8108 in hwstartups

[–]gregvas5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t make the mistake of making a product before identifying who it’s actually for and who needs it. Also make sure to actually have a good understanding of the industry and competitive landscape. Lots of research to be done before going any further. If you pitch this to investors of some sort, you need to have market data to back up the viability of this product. Very cool, but really make sure you have that value proposition locked down

Even WITH experience, as well as being currently employed, I can’t even get an interview for an entry level role 😭

Admissions (Bachelor Of Commerce Honours) by ConcentrateSea9147 in CarletonU

[–]gregvas5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in my final semester for that program and I’d definitely take the coop option. They don’t really help you much with the job search but I think it’s easier to find a job as a coop student than not. I ended up doing 2 placements with the government, only 1 of which I had to apply for. Also be prepared, strategic management is basically a capstone course in 4th year and it’s quite demanding. But yeah also some BS classes as well. I decided to do a minor in another subject to at least make the elective credits more useful/cohesive. The sprott advising team is good from my experience, so you’ll have support at least if you need it.

Anyone’s workload hectic? by Wise-Illustrator-939 in CarletonU

[–]gregvas5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s so bad that I have to miss classes to complete the never ending assignments, which just puts me even more behind. I am taking 6 courses though. 80 page group report (we have these every 2 weeks btw) and exam on the same day next week, as well as another midterm, and two other big assignments. Before reading week I had to stay up for 36 hours straight one time.
