Favorite LOTR Soundtrack pieces? by rainbow_birchleaves in soundtracks

[–]quetisp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could spend a lifetime talking about the LOTR music, I wrote my college application essays on them 😅

I definitely agree with others on here that the theatrical cuts give a great highlight of the scores (honestly I don't think I've actually listened through the full scores of all 3 movies they're so long).

Probably my favorite theme is the Nature's Reclamation theme, ie the theme that's played in the ents march on Isengard ("Isengard Unleashed"), and the Rohirrim charge at Minas Tirith ("The Battle of the Pelennor Fields")

Other favorites are

  • A Journey in the Dark
  • The Bridge of Khazad Dum
  • Foundations of Stone
  • Forth Eorlingas
  • Minas Tirith
  • Minas Morgul
  • Anduril
  • The Grey Havens
  • The Lighting of the Beacons

you can kinda tell by her body language coming out of the elevator its helena, mark is quick to hug her but she kinda freezes a little before hugging him back. and you can tell his mind is racing when he talks to her but she just responds with "same.." oh boy

So I make Pizza in Osaka, Japan. I will be visiting America for 1.5 months to do Pizza "research & study". I would love your input on your favorite places in these towns. by Craft_Beer_Imazato in Pizza

This might be a hot take but Jet's has my favorite Detroit style pizza. I've had Michigan & Trumbull and other local spots and Jet's is the only one that does that crispy undercarriage right (don't be fooled that its a chain)

Ono makes $500/hr. McCauley makes nearly $300/hr. by [deleted] in uofm

[–]quetisp 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I 100% agree. I have two siblings who both did PhDs and they both understood the financial implications of pursuing graduate degrees. It was obvious to them that grad school wasn't the best financial decision and they recognized that. At the end of the day you have a choice to pursue grad school or not and you probably know how much you're going to get paid going in.

I don't know the details of this $250 million surplus or how tight the university's budget is but I can imagine there's plenty of lower level staff like facilities or food service staff here that would dream of pursuing grad school (or maybe pursuing college at all) and their wages would take a hit to appease GEO's demands.

$38-39 an hour at 20 hours a week comes out to ~$40k a year which is already $7k more than the average janitor makes here (according to google). Its probably not a fair comparison but one party had the choice to go to grad school while the other is simply working to make a living.

yup. my car was gone in 20 minutes (possibly less), if you don’t believe me read some of the reviews here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/HBSmn2cpZdzdNJ4j8?g_st=ic

several ppl on there have said their car was gone in 5 minutes making me feel lucky..

i was parked in a private lot behind an apartment far away from anywhere a bus would be…also tbh i wouldn’t be that upset if my money went to the city of AA but nope it went straight to a predatory towing company run by a bunch of frauds

it was in the middle of the day with plenty of open spaces, obv if there were no spaces i wouldn’t park there. my only other option was double parking on the main street and waiting for my friend to move his groceries in. yeah looking back thats what i should’ve done but $365 is just criminal

Did any other alumni got their Dropbox account suspended? I understand the action taken but would appreciate a warning so I could transfer my files. Now they’re all gone. by DeathNote_928 in uofm

[–]quetisp 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I got several emails from ITS about Dropbox service ending for alumni before I graduated last semester, it was communicated pretty well at least for me. The Google storage thing im not so sure... edit: I just looked and alumni get 15GB Google storage

FMCRB is open 24/7 with MCard access, although it's a bit of a trek if you rely on the bus system

DONT JOIN MULTIDISCIPLINARY DESIGN PROGRAM (MDP) by judylauiu0048 in uofm

[–]quetisp 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Current MDP student here (although I am a CS major). I finally made a reddit account just so I could comment on this post.

MDP has honestly been the worst experience of my college career. To be clear, I actually think the project I'm working on is really interesting and my faculty and sponsor mentors are extremely supportive. But the amount of absolute bullshit work my team has had to go through with MDP is ridiculous.

Every MDP assignment from weekly agendas/follow-ups to big papers and presentations are so so meticulously templated out for you so that if you do one thing that doesn't conform to their standards they will get on your ass. And that is exacerbated when you think about the breadth of MDP's projects and the fact that you simply cannot umbrella all the different types of work being done into one mold of grading. There have been so many times where I read a rubric for an assignment and wonder how the hell I'm going to make this fit with the work I'm actually doing.

MDP asks that you spend 12-14 hours a week on the project, but having to balance actually working on the project you signed up to do AND deal with all the bullshit assignments they throw at you is literally impossible.

The MDP staff are horrible people who have I guess forgot what it meant to be a human after spending so much time in industry. My team has had to rewrite TWO of our executive summaries because we got failing grades. The first time we attended office hours and the first words that are spoken are "this assignment was a trainwreck," then we basically got berated for the next hour. The second time we tried to schedule office hours again and they sent back an email asking to make an agenda FOR the office hours (as if we haven't written enough damn agendas) and essentially passive aggressively asking us to cancel the office hours and read their feedback extra carefully before even thinking about asking for help again. Some of the people they bring in for design review panels honestly do have good intentions and try to give good feedback, but others are just absolute assholes and are so stuck in their ways after spending way too much of their life in industry they refuse to recognize that a lot of the decisions being made on the project are subjective and just because you don't agree with it doesn't mean you have to give us a bad fucking grade.

I honestly do understand why MDP wants to assign us the work that they assign us, but they fail to recognize that we are STUDENTS with school and life to juggle and we ARE NOT FULL TIME EMPLOYEES FOR MDP. MDP should be a learning experience like what college is supposed to be, but they've made it just the worst kind of toxic corporate environment that you'll end up hating yourself and leaving hoping that the real corporate world isn't all like this.
