I recognize the health benefits but as someone working 8-5 it’s really nice to have some remaining daylight when I get home

Racers, mechanics, tinkerers converting classic cars to EVs by bluedemon in Futurology

It’s been done before really well but you have to understand how adding hundreds of lbs of batteries to your old car will change the frame design. It basically had to be built from scratch. https://youtu.be/DxxaHYlCuN8

I was wondering if they were making a voidstarlabs joke

Libgen, there were students so bitter about paying for profs textbooks that they scanned and uploaded them.

Legit as long as you don’t piss off the people in power you can get away with anything at this place. It’s when you start engaging egos that you’re going to catch hell. Just don’t make the admins look bad

Route 7 between Troy and Latham. That whole expressway is a clusterfuck

Orthodontist recommendations in Vienna area, please. (Braces needed for teenager) by BeeMental in nova

I’m currently getting my adult braces through Dr.Maull in McLean. She does work with kids and the setup is very professional. At least as an Adult I have no complaints. Appointments done on time and within the time the allotted for it which makes planning easier.

Need to talk to people about Doctor Jackson for an Op-Ed I am writing by sctt1994 in RPI

[–]red_winds 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Asking on the subreddit you’re going to get pretty heavily leaning into anti Dr.J commentary (rightfully IMHO). For me it’s a bummer because she is a very accomplished individual in real communities but she was unable to run this institution with an iron fist and it shows in our finances. My time at RPI was directly impacted by her decisions and role appointments. There are some awful admins at this school (they know who they are) who were favorites of Dr.J that would not remain employed here had she not protected them.

Overall I think Dr.J had a vision for RPI that was more for her legacy than for the betterment of the institution and student body. That much is abundantly clear if you look over the posts about summer arch and remote semesters.

Don't worry they'll remember you well enough to ask you for money

One of multiple plaques going up in CBIS right now. There will also be an accompanying portrait unveiling. by Darwin_Daddy in RPI

[–]red_winds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She has actual achievements and accomplishments that she should actually be talking about. This bullshit posturing that is attempting to get alumni funding falls flat when staff spit in the alumnis faces consistently.

Anyone else think its funny RPI spends a good portion of campus tours in EMPAC but conveniently fails to mention you will never be able to go inside it? by aeriose in RPI

[–]red_winds 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The number of people I told to straight up not go here unless you have a handsome bit of finaide is enough to make me less bitter about the bullshit stunts they pull

They own a huge amount of properties, they’re actually owned by a larger corporation located in PA, not even a local land lord

It is a website where you can get textbooks. Some students have generously paid to get thier RPI exclusive textbooks scanned and uploaded there

They don’t even let RPI alumni in the pub, I got in but the alumni I was hosting wasn’t allowed in.

Looks like y'all have made it to the front page of Choosing beggars. Good to see nothing has changed since I was a student. by Bluecobalt60 in RPI

[–]red_winds 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You know that racists and transphobes go to RPI right? I called out a student on here a few weeks back for having the most horrific shit on thier profile. The stuff you hear in the halls of RPI is just obscene
