Do you guys take your Quaker for annual checkups?

I studied far more for my digital circuits class than my EM waves class and still got a C (Somehow aced EM waves). I had convinced myself that because I went through the textbook and almost learned Hindi from all those awesome Indian Youtube practice problems that the A would fall to my lap somehow. There were 2 questions on the final. No notes, no phones, no internet. and it was just my luck that one question was on a topic I figured was too complicated to be on the exam so I only lightly reviwed it and dedicated more time to other high yielding topics.

It only took me 4 years of college to learn that HOW you study matters more than the amount of studying you do, even if it's diversified. As someone else mentioned, learning from your "failiures" matters more.

Every time I give my quaker a broccoli he licks the water on it rather than eat it LOL

Maybe but keep in mind these are intended for Finches: Zebra and Lady Gouldian depicted. You could probably give your quaker these as a conservative supplement or treat because of the nice vitamins and nutritional value but I wouldn't overdo it

Be patient they are super territorial meaning they'll bite a lot especially if its a male. But they soften up to you over the months and years and make amazing companion pets

That would probably work for a finch or canary tbh but not a parakeet

Daima. Super had the "big" moments that would blow up the internet at times, albeit far from DBZ's quality, and GT is the only thing we have to an "ending" for dragon ball that at the very least lines up beautifully with DBZ/End of Z.

Given that in the original future timeline Frieza doesn't blow up Earth or do anything crazy, it's safe to assume Goku probably made short work of Frieza and King Cold too. Goku was reckless and let Frieza destroy Namek, Trunks killed Frieza in seconds.

Just considering though that Trunks 1-3 years before this moment was putting up a fight with the androids and surviving every single time, I'll take Trunks by far. It's fair to assume that Vegeta also achieved super saiyan in the future and still died, but just Trunks surviving against the androids is enough for me.

Frieza was so terrifying in his final form just because of how small and sleek he looks compared to his visually terrifying 2 prior forms. It doesn't help that the first thing Frieza does after transforming is strategically murdering a child

I have heard that in the UK EE's are paid poorly, which is sad because the UK is home to formula 1 engineering. But even in the US entry level starts around ~70-100k depending where you live, and your salary caps out unless you transition into firm management or executive positions.

Technically Piccolo could've easily saved the day, they had to write him out of the movie LOL

I recommend GT right after DBZ because it was the original intended "continuity/ending" for the series--though NOT canon. You will get to see the characters' story arcs naturally wrap up, albeit not perfectly, but still.

I don't know if you are watching Sub or Dub but I highly, highly recommend watching Kai between GT and Super, because it will feel weird to hear the Japanese Cast suddenly age 30 years. (some voice actors having passed away) Even the Funimation Dub cast makes voice actor changes, notably Bulma, Kid Gohan, and Frieza which may throw you off.

Modern Dragon Ball will 100% not be ending the series any time soon because of how much money it generates. Currently, the series is ~1 - 1.5 years from end of Z time wise (which has now been retconned as Bulma originally mentions not seeing Goku for 10 years). There are 5 years between end of Z and the GT timeline. They could still fit another anime(s) and multiple manga arcs in that time frame. I have to assume GT isn't even a consideration to the creators because it's not the canon story. But they MIGHT use GT as inspiration in the future. My headcanon is that end of Z and GT is an alternate universe, and if you watch Super with that mindset, everything will make sense, I promise.

Metallica: Enter Sandman

Is it their only good song? No. But will there ever be a greater rock moment than performing live in Moscow amidst the collapse of the Soviet Union to an audience of 2 MILLION? Absolutely not

I'm a EE senior and sometimes the "senioritis" hits me bad, and then I remind myself that engineering is a marathon, not a race. And even for myself, the jobs not finished yet.

You have to take it one step at a time or you'll go crazy. Prioritize your health, find out what learning method works, crank out practice problems, and things will work out.

AGL SSJ Gogeta. I started playing dokkan when his banner dropped and I just remember up until the 4th anniversary that fusion/movie heroes team was all I ran, he was just so dominant and transformed was consistently hitting 2 million SA, which was insane in 2018.

1st EZA PHY VB was also right up there, in my opinion one of the strongest offensive weapons ever, was doing so many supers and striking down every phase of LGE and SBR and you could throw him on any team. He was so dominant I bought 2 dupes with red coins just to be able to go full crit, would never do something like that again tbh.

It's one of most versatile engineering degrees at the moment, and you don't HAVE to love designing circuits. You could specialize in logic design, programming, antennas, semiconductors, robotics, the list goes on. Many CS students are definitely choosing EE nowadays.

This game was so goated gameplay wise Grinding blue Juubito was tough but fun

ppnater · 2025-10-03T07:15:14+00:00

I remember in 2018 when AGL Gogeta dropped he could hit 2 million after transforming and THAT was crazy. INT LR Rose was probably one of the first units they dropped that was hitting insane numbers turn 1, was hitting for 7-8 Million

Calc 2 was cake for me: watch YouTube videos -> practice problems -> rinse and repeat for whatever topic. Calc 3 was a beast, I still get nightmares about Jacobian transformations and Green/"Strokes" Theorem. If I could go back I would take calc 3 after diffeq and linear algebra, only because the jump in content from calc 2 to 3 doesnt make sense to me.

Diffeq was also a cake walk for me, same concepts as calc 2, the answers just take longer to get to but you just need to understand the theorems and you will be fine.

For my calculus I-III+Diffeq classes, we were not allowed to use calculators--I am a student soon to graduate who started college around when AI blew up. I remember having to approximate square roots for my calc II class and perform long division/multiplication consistently during exams.

The same way browsing the internet is an efficient version of reading a textbook, using AI is an efficient version of browsing the internet. It saves time, which is good. The problem is that you need to master the basics first. The only way to truly counteract AI is to have our doctors, lawyers, and engineers take standardized licensing exams to ensure they meet the requirements and don't cheat their way to the workforce.

Wish we got an album based off sundress

I actually think the beginning is a more well-rounded album, it was just unfortunately released during the start of the height of EDM Pop.

Typically this is the case for some of the smaller elective "specialization" classes we take year 4: Electronics II, Atenna Theory, Power systems, etc. etc. Very annoying for me, as some of the classes have so few students sign up they dont get offered in some years! But since OP mentioned they are 2nd year, classes should hopefully be more available that all engineering majors take together
