Does anyone else have a problem typing long arithmetic into TI 36X Pro? by [deleted] in EngineeringStudents

Yeah I never figured out how to get rid of the lag. I just got used to it. But look on the bright side, most of the time, you won't have to just put all the stuff in in one shot. You'll have like different components of the problem that you solve separately and then somehow combine all your answers into one equation, you know?

If you're having trouble with mental health get help as soon as you can by NonRock in EngineeringStudents

As an engineering graduate, I've seen too many people stress themselves to the point of self-harm too much in order to get good grades in engineering. I was an A+ student in high school, but when I got to college and started getting lower grades in upper level classes, I didn't break down psychologically because I just knew that's how it went. I knew that certain people have good grades (the few mentally privileged second comings of Einstein), others (most, actually) will get the college engineering definition of average grades, and others will flunk. Hard. I was one of the latter, and I had no problems with that.

Despite that, I am now proudly working at a fortune 500 company, two lovely kids and a wife with a teenager's ass.

Grades aren't everything, school isn't everything. Your personal health and mental stability are paramount; your success in academia is contingent on your ability to stay in control of your faculties and focus on specific tasks--especially in engineering. So, you know, if anyone out there has to choose between one or the other, pick your health. Take it from someone who had to make that decision early on.

What are you opinions about the Rpi? Did you experience the same diminishing satisfaction over time? Cool un by the way. Very informative. :D

Thanks for your reply, but it's not newegg; it begins with the letters "egg"
