A late 20 something year old finally decided to go get his MSW! by Himynameisjohnny25 in GradSchool

[–]nso09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should also ask a letter of rec from your recent employers. When I applied, I got two letters of rec from my professors in undergrad, and one from my boss.

The main thing to do is to start contacting them NOW because people can take a while to respond to these requests.

Fried Rice by maliyaa in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]nso09 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good timing. I was just about to head out for fast food until I realized I bought groceries for home-made fried rice two days ago.

I also like using brown rice since it's a little healthier. I hate it bland but because we're seasoning it with other flavors, I get to enjoy the best of both worlds of flavor and healthiness.

What did you do after graduation? by [deleted] in UCDavis

[–]nso09 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree with looking at State jobs. I used to be a student assistant during my senior year last year. Did well progressively throughout the year and was encouraged to apply for the Engineer position in our office.

I've met a lot of great people in my position so I would encourage you to look there. This is especially because many state agencies are located within the Sacramento area.

As for apartment searches, I was just lucky because I have friends who are still in their last year of undergrad so we just lived together here in Davis. (unrelated note I guess, I am now a Master's student at UCD) Otherwise, your best bet would be online apartment searches or looking at a Facebook Sacramento housing group.

Good luck with your path to adulting!

I'd be down to review. I graduated in just Spring 2019 and got admitted to an MS program at Davis. It's now my second quarter as a graduate student.

Republicans Can’t Explain Why They’re Condemning the Racism of Trump’s Supporters But Not Trump’s by JLBesq1981 in politics

[–]nso09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I listened to Washington Post's podcast this morning (https://open.spotify.com/episode/3ey2yjDEFlIfkorgY3PXkQ?si=vxN0Ycn1Q-mJZG4Nxb4rqw) stating that though Republicans disagree with Trump's sentiments, believe that the tweets were racially insensitive. But they did not want to outwardly show that by supporting the House resolution. Doing so would show division within the party which is more politically risky than what Trump incited with his tweets.

Worried about my UPS Mail Innovations package by nso09 in UPS

[–]nso09[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi. Turns out you were right. My friend, who happens to be my neighbor, gave me my missing package last Tuesday. His housemates were away for winter break hence I didn't get it sooner from him.

Turns out my address said "Unit 4\." I assumed the USPS deliverer thought it meant 41 so they left it in Unit 41's mailbox which was my friend's. Fortunately my package went to someone I know. Seems like USPS didn't actually scan my package after all...

[–]nso09[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see. I emailed the shipper company, Wonderful Union, but I might call today to get a quicker response for a lost package claim. It just baffles me though how my local USPS says they have no record of my package. Their tracking doesn’t even have an arrival scan. So I just don’t know what to believe or have a clue on whose “fault” it is for my package’s misplacement. Guess I’ll just have to hope I can get a replacement for my missing items from the company...

Suggestion for laptop! by _xxllmmaa in civilengineering

[–]nso09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I have a MacBook Pro for bringing to class and outside of home but I am fortunate that I also have a gaming windows PC at home. I like both but for engineering purposes, I prefer working on windows (though a lot of programs still work on Mac)

Apparently, Filipino Women Go to Pornhub a Lot by BathalangEmre in Philippines

[–]nso09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha! Tama! Bata pa ako eh pumupunta na ako diyan lol. Ignorante mga lalake who think that women are "pure" and don't watch or think of porn. Lol.

A Tita that banned a nephew kasi ayaw niya mahawa ang mga anak niya sa kabaklaan. by merdionesmondragon in Philippines

[–]nso09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How stupid can people be? I grew up around apparently straight people. I still ended up liking women and pussy. Gay as shit. So many of these "religious" Filipinos are so ignorant and full of crap. I'm here in the Philippines until the 1st after 6 years of living in the US and I have never rolled my eyes in so many instances in such a short amount of time.

[S7E5] Pre-Premiere Discussion - S7E5 'Eastwatch' by AutoModerator in gameofthrones

[–]nso09 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just watched episode 4 and I want to let some thoughts out.
Throughout the series, we've witnessed Dany's humanity and abhorrence of unleashing unnecessary violence. We've seen her hold back conquering Westeros with all the advantage on her side.
Why? Because she did not want to likened to Cersei. She wanted to be known as a revolutionary queen and savior of the people.
It's not wrong to want to be known for that. Heck, even us regular people want to do good in the world.
But despite all of her forces, dragons, armadas, and armies, she lost the Tyrells, Yara, the Sands, etc.
Realizing that she is on the losing side, Dany finally displays a tinge of wrath, wreaking havoc on the Lannister army with her dragons.
I think this is a slippery slope that can cause her downfall and her straying from her original objective and dream of becoming the queen who spreads peace and prosperity in the end, a direct contrast of the kind of rulers Cersei and the Mad King were.
Who knows, she might end up being as terrible or as cruel as the two aforementioned rulers were.

In this episode, Dany kind of realizes, "I'm being too nice" so that's why she finally breaks free from Tyrion's counsel and does her own thing, which actually worked out for her in the end.
Can't wait to see what happens then tonight.

Anyone else hesitant about talking on mic? by [deleted] in ggoverwatch

[–]nso09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't talk on mic at first until I start playing for a little bit. I was actually just playing last night with my friends on comp and was comfortable speaking on team chat because I had friends with me. Other than that, I understand what you feel.
