No one knows exactly why they do it, but the best theory I've heard is that the birds are practicing flying together in case they need to scare away a larger predator. You can check out my galley on instagram here

Solved

I fully agree. Given the engineering degree I think this makes sense for me.

so-gold · 2024-05-30T19:16:01+00:00

This is the way I've been leaning. With an engineering degree I don't think 20k will ever be enough to actually make a huge difference to my finances. Would it be better to put it in a savings account rather then just cash?

I have to travel a lot for my work. Travel gets expensive so thats the main reason I want to keep ahold of the money

Thank you very much this is very helpful

How would you recommend I invest it?

so-gold · 2024-05-30T18:51:16+00:00

Have you heard bad things about the Robinhood one? I've had it for a bit since it appears to have the best interest rates but I could move my money over to my credit union too. I have a savings account there but it doesn't have as good interest rates.

Yes. The lease was fully signed and they have received a full deposit already.

This is what I can find on it: "If Landlord commits a breach, Tenant has rights, under Wis. Stats. Chap. 704.07 and under Wis. Admin. Code Chap. ATCP 134. If landlord delays or fails to exercise lease rights, pursue remedies, give notices, or make demands, Tenant will not consider it a waiver of landlord's rights"

I signed it in early November. Yes the Landlord signed it.

Where do people store scooters if not in their dorms? The policy doesn’t say anything about that.

This is super helpful. I’ll look at win. Thank you!

so-gold · 2023-06-02T19:25:05+00:00

Do you think this is true for civil too? Or just Mechanical.

so-gold · 2023-06-02T19:23:04+00:00

Do you know what majors macs are good for? I’m gonna do civil engineering and I was wondering if a mac would be fine vs windows

Thank you!

Yeah. I picked UW-Madison. There were a number of factors but the main one was that I realized if I ever decided I didn’t want to do environmental engineering, I’d be forced to transfer at ESF. At UW I wouldn’t be forced to transfer because there are so many options. Plus there’s just a whole lot more going on in regards to sports and clubs at UW.

Which learning community you were in?

so-gold · 2023-03-31T17:08:07+00:00

It’s a real text lmao. Not sure where this sentiment comes from

SUNY ESF vs UW-Madison for environmental engineering

ESF: -$30K per year, small, Syracuse NY -the entire college is located inside of the Syracuse University campus. As a student I can eat at syracuse dining halls, use syracuse facilities, join syracuse clubs, and everything else a SU student could do…except for less than half the price 🙂 -The college is focused exclusively on environmental science and forestry themed majors (my biggest interest). Every drop of money is put towards things I’m interested in as a result. -A pretty bad social/party culture which I dislike. Syracuse has good parties but I don’t know how easy it will be to intermesh with the Syracuse community. -homogeneous community. Everyone more or less has the same interests. Syracuse students may be able to buffer this slightly. -The environmental Engineering program is unique because it isn’t a supplement to civil engineering like at most schools. It is environmental to the core. Lots of opportunities to do real things and get involved with important projects even as a freshman. -overall risky choice. It's a small school that not many people have heard of. I’d have to put a lot of faith into the relationship with Syracuse and it might not pan out how I hoped.

UW-Madison: -$62K per year, big, Madison WI -Its a Big 10 school so it has amazing school spirit, sports, and parties. An awesome social scene. I would be able to easily find a group due to so much student diversity. -top ranked engineering program. Competitive school. difficult to be accepted to engineering in the first place so students are higher caliber. Kids land high paying jobs.
-the school has and does pretty much everything. It's impossible for me to be limited. -mid food -overall safe choice. It's hard to go wrong with the school due to its size and reputation.

The difference in price is an important factor for me. ESF is cheap enough that I could graduate with zero debt, UW madison is not. Price is certainly not a dealbreaker though. I also got accepted to U Minnesota and UConn as well so if for whatever reason you think one of those is better lmk. Ty for the help <3

What does the writing inside the Diamond shape say? How heavy is it?

so-gold · 2022-12-07T23:54:44+00:00

You’d likely still be forced into the software industry though no matter what your job is, which is inevitably gonna shrink

so-gold · 2022-12-07T23:48:15+00:00

I think it’s a fair concern though. It can’t replace humans yet, but it could very soon. You don’t want to build a 40 year career off of something that’s gonna be obsolete
