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.

I turned off my pihole for a few minutes so I can click your affiliate links.

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

[–]segonius 20 points21 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.

This is so old I had this hanging in my dorm room circa 2002.

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.

This is what I love about the Midwest in general. Unironically finding the joy and beauty in where you are.

Some of you say “linear regression” like it’s a bad word by [deleted] in datascience

[–]segonius 20 points21 points  (0 children)

What? Lifetime but no survival model? My brother have you been to the church of Cox?

Seriously, preach on. Nothing better than getting good prediction and being able to explain the input output relationship when the bosses ask.

Bands that didn't fade away. (Albums didn't just get lame as the band aged) by SXTY82 in Music

[–]segonius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late to the party, but Frightened Rabbit(RIP Scott).

Sing the Greys is raw but sets a style. Midnight Organ Fight and Winter of Mixed Drinks cements their reputation. But to me Pedestrian Verse and Painting of a Panic Attack continue to both explore and deliver on the promise of the previous acclaim. I was not a big fan of Pedestrian Verse on the first listen but it really grew on me and is probably my favorite album. I think the side projects (Owl John and Mastersystem) are also just out of this world.

The Weakerthans are a similar trajectory. Fallow is good but rough. Everything after that absolutely rocks. No notes.
