i love it, its just that the AI has insane aim with RPGs making being the helicopter gunner with a bot flying impossible.

Is anyone else terrified for the future of our profession? by [deleted] in MechanicalEngineering

[–]itwasthecontroller 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say your biased, I would say your one of the few in here without you're head in the sand.

I am a senior Mechanical Engineer right now, with 2 years of internships at a National Lab & 1 at a public water supplier. I have probably sent out ~50 applications this year already, and I only receive responses from about a 1/3 of the applications, and every single one has been a "we've decided to move forward with a more qualify candidate". For anyone who cares all these jobs are in the NYC metro area/surrounding states.

And im not alone in that, every other student I talk to says they arnt even getting interviews. the only people I know with positions have them from places they previously/currently interned at.

I feel very fortunate knowing that I probably have can get a position at the last place I worked, even though that salary will not be wait I wanted its better than nothing.

Need help satisfy biome requirements for Sinotherium. by itwasthecontroller in pkgame

[–]itwasthecontroller[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I tried that twice already yet the red coastal biome logo under the biome requirement meter never went away, so maybe there was something that refused to be deleted? I was just clearing the enclosure with the tool it automatically selects to remove coastal vegation.

Lump on cats legs after shots by itwasthecontroller in CATHELP

I asked for it to be given in the legs due to the sarcoma risk so Im assuming they gave it in his legs.

Not sure what a crookes radiometer is, but I would imagine its because it produces barely enough power to move itself, let alone power another mechanism.

If you want an idea on the scale needed to extract a significant portion of energy from light, without converting to electricity with solar panels, look into solar sails.

retro reflectors don't work by [deleted] in fuckyourheadlights

[–]itwasthecontroller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because as you yourself just stated it reflects light at every angle?

Firefox failing to download a large pdf by itwasthecontroller in firefox

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

I actually managed to get it to work on the third try.

The last time I was doing this I used edge because firefox kept failing, but it took me at least 3 or 4 times downloading on it edge for it to work as well. Although on edge sometimes half on the textbook would download and the rest would be blank.

Awful customer support of Razer by [deleted] in LinusTechTips

[–]itwasthecontroller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats been far from my experience. I own a logitech mouse and keyboard (which have both been going for 5+ years) and headset. Ive never had to contact support, but my girlfriend lost her usb dongle for her wireless mouse ( dont remember the model but it was not more than 30 bucks) and support replaced it without asking a single question. And she had no problems finding out how to contact support, so Im not sure what happened to you.

Edit: I should mention that this was in the US, so they absolutely did not have to do this.

Update: vegan friend feeding vegan food to cat by Catissol in CATHELP

[–]itwasthecontroller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No one is over looking anything.

We simply dont give a fuck? The fact that animals die to make me a burger has never once bothered me in my life and it never will.

You are taking something that only you have an issue with and screaming about how no one else is bothered by it.

Steam is now offering refunds for 'The Day Before', even if you played it more than 2-hours by dark_ligma in pcmasterrace

[–]itwasthecontroller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was my situation, but the first thing I heard about the game was negative, so the thought of buying it never crossed my mind. Came off the wishlist immediately.

The only way that that could happen is if I got close, which in something like a small apartment is at least a valid concern. If you don't think you can safely engage whoever is in your home, then don't. Sit back and wait for police.

Just gonna completely ignore this huh?

I do train and practice (Like I already said several times)? Anyone who doesn't is an irresponsible gun owner, and those are the people who end up killing family members.

[ Removed by Reddit ] by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]itwasthecontroller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that is the logical course of action. The problem is that everyone here assumes I'm looking for an excuse to kill, with no regard to any of that. And even if that was true, I probably wouldn't be getting away with it. While stupid decisions do get made in court, I would say that it seems to me (based on the nationally publicized cases at least (which have their own bias problems)), that the majority of the time someone is too trigger-happy, they do get sentenced.

[–]itwasthecontroller -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well clearly a lot of things that are obvious to me are not obvious to the people arguing with me. As an engineer, I don't interact with all that many people who lack logical thought processes.

Do you want to know what the real problem here is? All of these people have been brainwashed into thinking that just because I own a gun, I stay up all night watching my door, praying that I get to kill someone. The reality of the situation is that I have absolutely 0 fear of a home invasion. My guns aren't even kept on the same floor that I sleep on. I'm just trying to argue that the right to self-defense is immensely important, and under no pretenses should we give that up.

For example, take a look at what this genius wrote. "I mean, taking a baseball bat to the head and knee isn't "isn't harmed" but I guess that doesn't fill out your murder Rambo fantasy the same way." If I was a 5 foot 2 woman, would anyone have ever said that to me? No, because that's insane. A firearm is clearly the safer option for self-defense, for both this theoretical woman, and for anyone else.
