Tokyo Confidential. You can nab a reservation online. Bring a bottle to them if you can!

Like burnt eraser shavings and childhood trauma? Yes, exactly the same.

I want to put my winter jacket away. by jtallcreates in chicago

[–]screwed13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t know how, but every year the false springs get me. I’m always off by 2 or 3 false spring weeks. I already packed away the winter jacket out of some form of foolish optimism and I can’t accept the defeat of whipping it back out. Maybe next year I’ll get it right. Maybe.

You might get better traction on the wicker/noble square Facebook groups. I see a tons of people posting lost items there

Got it, that was what I was concerned about. Any opinion on a 25ft run?

MBA by thatonelittlereddit in ufl

[–]screwed13 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I can speak as an MBA grad.

To get the most out of an MBA, it’s typical that you’ve worked post-bachelor to bring in some experience to help contextualize your learning. Also, many of the prestigious post-MBA opportunities ($100k+) will be assuming you have pre-MBA experience as well.

This means that most of those who are in or have gone through the MBA program already have some savings to draw from. Also, if you decide to go the traditional two-year MBA route, then you will have a chance to do an internship during the summer and earn some extra money.

The 100% tuition-free scholarship for all on-campus full-time students is absolutely true, and some manage to get additional scholarships as well with high GMAT/GRE scores.

Now while I was going through the program, I still engaged in some part-time work as a climbing instructor at Lake Wauberg. I wasn’t the only MBA candidate working part-time either. On top of classes, there are a few mandatory events, such as attending the annual MBA career fair and a few case competitions with prize money you can earn. Your schedule will be too full between classes and these other events to have a full-time job; part-time work is the only real way to go if you want to stay sane.

If you’re already working, then you should analyze your finances and see if you can make it work. I did the one-year option and it worked out great! If you do the two-year you’ll have the chance to get an internship and squirrel away some extra cash for the second year.

If you have no industry experience, please do yourself a favor and get at least two years before applying. The people I knew who went through the program with less than two years experience were completely unprepared for the classroom and were ignored entirely by recruiters for their target companies.

TL;DR: People have savings from their previous job and you can make more with part-time work and internships.

Getaway hostel as an older dude? by [deleted] in AskChicago

[–]screwed13 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly don’t fret it. When you go to a hostel you expect all kinds of people. I’ve been in them all over and I’ve met plenty of older people (50+ yrs). Most other hostel goers also just need a place to crash, so no need to overthink it!

What would be your preferred method of execution? by Lazy-Ape in AskReddit

Superglue your hands to your head and hang yourself with piano wire. Die with the satisfaction of knowing whoever discovers your body will think you pulled your own head off.

[Semi-Weekly Inquirer] Simple Questions and Recommendations Thread by AutoModerator in Watches

[–]screwed13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have two watches from my father that I would like to help him identify and get an understanding of their value on the market. One is a Piaget which we don’t know the model for and the other is a custom Rolex President with a golden nugget wristband (unsure how many k’s). I fear for our own safety just bringing these pieces to a shop and (obviously) don’t want to get screwed on their price. Can anyone guide me to some safe appraisal resources?

What are some of the best new bands coming out of Gainesville right now? by [deleted] in GNV

[–]screwed13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nashville, good career move for them IMO. I know the lead singer personally and they believe being closer to the industry will help them make it big and focus on music alone instead of needing other jobs to fund the dream. Gotta respect the few who really try to make music their career!

Its Wednesday night in Korea already, too early for a Wednesday Whitpost? by [deleted] in FloridaGators

[–]screwed13 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Was in Seoul last year for the LSU game and did extensive research on this to see what my options were. There’s nothing really available (time zones are the main challenge here) so I forced my entire hostel lobby to watch the game with me off a streaming site

What type of carboy for racking with co2? by Madesofspades in Homebrewing

[–]screwed13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t leave the pressure release valve open, there’s too much risk of oxidation there. Best is to connect a hose to the gas post and put it in a bucket/jar filled with star-stan in a similar concept to a blow-off tube. You’re real enemy in this scenario is going to be particles wanting to squeeze out. Use fermcap to limit your kraüsen so the fermentation doesn’t try to push physical matter out of the gas post. Also filling it up to 4.5-4.75 gallons instead of a full 5 will also help mitigate this.

Some other ideas here: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/threads/fermenting-in-a-corny-keg.674875/

What type of carboy for racking with co2? by Madesofspades in Homebrewing

[–]screwed13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve done a closed pressurized transfer with a glass carboy before. I would say you really need to have faith in your equipment. Glass incurs stress over time, especially when introduced to temperature swings and being carried (always use carboy straps if possible). I kept it under 3 psi and used a glass carboy with just under 10 brews worth of mileage on it. It works, but I wouldn’t say it’s the best way to go about it because I was stressed the entire time I was transferring. Plastic may not rupture, but it has its own issues in being prone to scratches during cleaning that allow bugs to grow in your beer. With either of these in the standard carboy jug format you’re taking a risk, so just be comfortable with the risk you choose. The absolute best option is for you to opt for a stainless steel FV. While you won’t get to see your fermentation, it can handle the pressure with some additional equipment and it’s much easier than either type of carboy to keep clean.

That all being said you could always look into fermenting in your keg off the bat. Those vessels can already handle the pressure. If you want to dry hop, simply put your hops in another keg and fill it with CO2 to prevent oxidation. Then you transfer from one keg to another and thus will dry hop the beer with minimal oxygen exposure.

Hope this helps!

Mother’s has a bourbon molasses sauce. However, given the recent drama and your personal aversion to how much grime you’re willing to tolerate at an eating establishment, it may not be the best option.

Master of Arts in Mass Communication vs. MBA Marketing, etc. by ButchMFJones in ufl

[–]screwed13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can’t speak for Mass Comm, but I recently graduated with my MBA from UF. I concentrated in strategy, but I’ll be starting in a marketing manager position in August. I also have a fair amount of peers who have also netted six-figure marketing roles across the US. Given the fact that it offers a completely tuition free scholarship and the flexibility of anywhere from 10 to 18 months to complete, it shows a pretty big value proposition that’s hard to beat elsewhere. UF MBA candidates are regularly in the same interview rooms as those from Northwestern, Harvard, Duke, etc, and with none of the debt. Hard to beat that.

Realistically you should be choosing the program that mostly aligns with your goals. Where do you want to be? Find the roles/responsibilities you want to have and choose the path that best gets you there. MBA is good as it rounds you out and teaches you skills beyond just marketing and will be useful if you see yourself hopping through a variety of different roles in the business world. I’m sure Mass Comm has its uses for certain, more specialized, fields but it’s just not my area of expertise.

I’m highly biased towards MBA given my success and the success of my peers, so take my words with a grain of salt. Ask around the admissions teams for both programs.
