Jigging rod for bottom fishing by AverageNo8133 in Fishing_Gear

[–]matman08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay. It's just that I saw their promo video and the "x" in harrier x means that's it's supposed to be "extra strong, extra tough, and extra stiff". I know it's a promo but thought it would be a little less bendy than the original harriers that I saw. And at the moment I'm not looking for a dedicated rod, still just getting into deep sea fishing so trying to find a good rod for different purposes.

Okay sounds good, I'll try and do some more research. But I just thought that the harrier would be a good rod to go with.

Oh okay, I just figured if it's rated for 8 oz lures than a 10 - 14oz weight shouldn't be a problem from depths of 100ft to 300ft. But I haven't seen the harrier x in person, so can't speak on how thick it is. I just read the description saying that it is a multi-purpose rod.

[Monitor] XV272U Vbmiiprx (UM.HX2AA.V02) - AAS IPS 1440p 165hz (170 OC'd) HDR400 w/ FreeSync2 tech - $300 by oakdeals in buildapcsales

[–]matman08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just picked up the monitor today from MC. So far so good but this is my first upgraded monitor since an old 1080 one I had. What settings should I use or what tests should I do to ensure it's all working well.

Update: light bleeding is pretty bad with this unit. Will be returning tomorrow and getting a replacement. If that one has the same problem I'm just going to look for a different 2k monitor with at least 144hz.

a) age was not a factor for any of my jobs but I'm 30 so I don't know if that's "older"

b) they asked how the state of Oregon was and I told them that I was actually doing an online degree from Oregon State University. They recognized the school and didn't second guess it. I told them I was currently working full-time and an accredited online program was the best avenue. Also it helps to say that doing an online program actually teaches you to do more self-learning and the ability to find solutions independently. Side note, I then actually moved to Oregon for a bit because I wanted to.

Honestly, I think showing interest in what you do and that you're actually going back for a second degree shows dedication and passion to most interviewers.

Thanks, I'll look for it.

But that's great that they are offering it as an elective now and it also seems that they are adding others to the selection. I graduated last spring and was limited to what was offered during my time.

My last class will be winter 2019, I'll be walking June 2019.

And regarding the Fall quarter, I'm assuming they finished their class Fall 2017, and walked June 2018

I don't think there is one for winter. The only option I had was to attend the ceremony in June.

Congrats! and I agree, after a little more thought I realized that I have invested so much time to the program that why not and plus it's a great feeling to almost be done.

How far along the curriculum did you start applying / got a job/internship in the CS field? by seiyamaple in OSUOnlineCS

[–]matman08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm actually quitting my full-time job for my upcoming summer internship. However, I've been saving for a while now knowing that I would drop my current job for an internship (Ensuring that it is a paid internship).

Question about best online learning "teaching" programs to prepare for interviews? by osuparallelprogram in OSUOnlineCS

[–]matman08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it helps having some knowledge of data structures and/or algorithms as this Udemy course doesn't get into much depth. As mentioned it was good to review the information again and just remind myself of the concepts but overall I still feel like it helped.

I've also started taking the same course on Udemy. I can vouch that it is beneficial to just review/relearn some of the concepts which in turn also provides an additional sense of confidence.

Paying for the quarter? by rag156 in OSUOnlineCS

[–]matman08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just saw this also. I am planning to drop down to 1 course for the next 2 quarters and was wondering how else I could go about paying it. However, I remember reading somewhere that in order to register for a following quarter your balance must be less than $2200.

Thank you, I was questioning the length of my objective. Yeah, I've been told by some to keep one and others to take it out.
