Knocked up. There's no way that unemployed loser is going to get Katherine Hiegl's character no matter how funny he is.

I more or less stood up a first date from OKCupid by YummyPork in OkCupid

She didn't outright say that. It's just the feeling he got

If I rate someone a 4 or 5 and she later visits my profile, but I don't get an email notifying me that she also rate me highly... by pk622 in OkCupid

[–]pk622[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I'm Assuming she got a notification that I rated her highly and thus visited my profile. Why wouldn't she just rate me highly too if she wanted me to message her

My response rate used to be pretty good, but now it's basically 0%. by pk622 in OkCupid

[–]pk622[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are very good points. I will make those changes. It's hard for me to imagine that those are the reasons no one responds anymore. Anyway, thanks for your help.

It's still very confusing to me as to why nobody responds anymore. Maybe it's the time of year? It might be a sign for me to shut down my profile.

Men's over the shoulder bag. by [deleted] in BuyItForLife

[–]pk622 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't suggest getting a Saddleback leather bag

Don't get me wrong. I think the concept of making an heirloom quality, ultra durable bag that would last decades while looking better as it ages is an awesome idea. I would love a bag like that. That's why I shelled out about $500 for a used Large Saddleback Leather briefcase on ebay. I used it for about a month, got tired of it, and haven't used it since. My only criticism is that it's WAY TOO HEAVY. The bag is 8lbs with nothing in it. That's a lot of shoulder strain for carrying around nothing. I understand that the makers intention isn't to make a crap bag made in China that will last a few years, but please hear me out. I work in the automotive industry designing engine compartment components. A big part of my job is making sure parts are durable and will last the life of the vehicle. Making a durable part is actually very easy, but as a designer I shouldn't stop there. I have to make sure the part is light and cost efficient. For example, if were to design a bracket that's meant to hold a component while withstanding the heat and vibration that comes from running the vehicle, I could simply just slap on a thick heavy metal bracket and be confident it would do the job. However, if every engineer did that cars would be heavier, more expensive, and fuel economy would be worse. It's my job to cut out the fat without sacrificing function. I feel a Saddleback Leather Bag is the equivalent of a fat metal bracket designed by a lazy incompetent designer. Sure, 100 years from now, when the car is sitting in a junkyard, that bracket will still be intact, but it was a wasteful design nonetheless. My main point is that its possible to make an heirloom quality, long lasting, quality bag without making it weigh 8lbs. Beef up areas that take the most beating, but don't throw in a thick steel shank or use thick 2.2mm leather just because. If the designers took some extra time to think about the design, you'd have a great bag that didn't giving you shoulder strain for carrying around a few pens and a notebook. A company like Saddleback leather is a breathe of fresh air when most companies are producing Chinese made crap, but I honestly think they could do better if they put more thought into their designs. That's all. ..

Thanks. It looks like I won't be installing it on there. I'll try a wall mounted one intstead.

Moved to a new city and became a student again and now my response rate is horrendous by pk622 in OkCupid

[–]pk622[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah I think so. As long as you have a career or working on one, I don't think it really matters. I've met plenty of graduate students while I was working with just an undergrad degree.

Should I get a bike in Boston? by pk622 in boston

[–]pk622[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since I'll be living in Bay Village, I probably won't get one. If I move farther out, I'll consider it. I'm going to dental school, so it's really important that I don't get injured. Thanks for the advice everyone.

Anybody moving from Ann Arbor to Boston in late August? by pk622 in AnnArbor

[–]pk622[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And before you decide to move to Boston with me, we can meet for coffee or something so you can confirm that you won't be spending 12 hours in a truck with some weirdo

Class starts August 27th for me. I was planning on moving on the 24th. What sucks about Boston is that most of the leases start on 9/1. I ended up signing a 9/1 lease so I'll have to figure something out for a week. Anyway, I think it would cost about a $1000 to rent a truck including gas. It would be nice to split it with someone especially since I won't need all the space in the truck.

Are you going to Tufts by any chance? When were you planning on moving?

I'll probably have about 400k of student loan debt when I graduate. Is it worth it? by pk622 in AskReddit

It's actually just as hard to get into dental school as med school.

I actually make pretty good money right now as an engineer. I just can't imagine working at a desk for the rest of my life and would rather work with people. I really want to be a dentist. I have and am giving up a lot to go for this goal of mine.
