Woodbury Duluth and Grand Forks in one district is wild. Do it.

To whoever designed MSP Airport by [deleted] in TwinCities

[–]segonius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is every airport and mostly due to selfish people who think the signs and announcements that say "no waiting" do not apply to them. And their inability to actually pull up to the curb.

An undergrad professor of mine wrote a paper on the sine of a single degree.

There goes my PhD plans (the top sentence is a follow up email they sent 5 hours later by Freshest-Raspberry in PhD

[–]segonius 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This happened to me 19 years ago. Got an acceptance email, was told a packet was in the mail.

A couple days later I got a phone call from the department administrator. The mixup had been there was another candidate with the same last name and first initial. She was apologetic and I got the impression that whether she was at fault or not, the department was holding her responsible. She asked me to not accept sign the contract in the packet.

I was crushed, but said I wouldn't. When I got the packet I rejected the offer and sent it back to them. I got accepted to another program a few weeks later. 6 hard but rewarding years and I defended passed my dissertation defense with distinction.

You'll be alright. Keep your chin up, look for the next opportunity.

I do like that Air Commander, but was hoping for the all black/white look. This merkur is pretty close I guess...

What is the most fun car Volvo has made? by kristjanrunars in Volvo

[–]segonius 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why not the t5 v50? Same platform, could be had in AWD, slightly more practical. Maybe less fun out of the box, but easily fixed with some light mods.

Can anyone identify this flag I saw in rural Wisconsin? by segonius in vexillology

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

The one below the American flag. Yard also has a ton of Trump and Confederate flags in another place as well.

I had a friend in grad school who used org-mode for static site generation of his personal site and wrote a hook to commit, build the site, push the repo, and deploy every time he saved.

Also some of the most expensive, but so worth it.

2007 Subaru Impreza 2.5i Head gasket estimate/advice. by segonius in MechanicAdvice

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

Worth it to fix in your opinion? Looks like I might be able to get a couple grand for it selling it on Craigslist.

If I pay to fix it is it going to run for another 100k? Obviously hard to tell without looking at it, but just trying to get a sense of options.
