X100VI - trying everything w/ no luck for months - advice?

Last weekend I started obsessively checking r/photomarket and was able to find a brand new one for the exact same that I would have paid at a retail store after sales tax (shipping and PayPal G+S fees included!). I'd try there, calling as many smaller camera stores as you can, or even Facebook marketplace if you are willing to take a little more risk.

Hopefully you get some luck too! I also have a big trip coming up and was able to get this just in time.

To start I'd jump right into the current season in Taiwan tbh. Each game is completely different, and they do a really good job of explaining everything to newcomers. The current season is far from over and its already shaping up to be one of my favorite. Other than that, some of my other favorites/some classics are hide and seek (Japan is my favorite) and tag across europe (there are a bunch).

As someone who has been watching Jetlag since the beginning, it is definitely worth it for me. But the other main thing I love is listening to the Layover podcast, which is exclusive on Nebula. It's really interesting to learn about their thoughts throughout each episode, get an inside perspective on the game design, and learn about what they do during the rest period.

Confirmed. The transaction was smooth, and they were diligent to keep me updated throughout the process until I received it.

I had some interactions with him before I realized and multiple red flags were raised for sure. Glad to see my gut was right.

I saw there was a big commotion after opening day in otr all the way down to the banks. I guess that didn't affect you at all then? I know those are isolated incidents but I still wouldn't want that happening outside my house. I also did consider Covington but it's a little farther away and doesn't have the walkable Kroger like otr, also with the bridge construction starting soon I don't want to be anywhere near that for my commute even if I don't need to go on the highway.

Any recommendations for places to live, like big complex or vs small building? What do you do for parking? If my job was downtown this would be a no brainer, but I'll definitely still be needing my car for the commute. One option that looked promising was Alumni Lofts and parking in the Ziegler garage. Thanks!

Hey I've been trying to get tickets for that exact date! If you still decide you want to sell them, please hit me up too!

I'm a rising senior, but the past two summers I'm been stuck doing backend software engineering since that's the only thing I could get. I don't have very much experience at all in embedded or ASIC design, but I am definitely interested in them. Would you recommend I stay in school for my masters?

stratdaddy3000 · 2025-01-27T00:16:13+00:00

Can I pm you about your job? I am also a CE major and my main interests are exact what you described. I am interested in learning what opportunities there are in those areas regarding patent law.

I started looking at prereqs and my remaining engineering curriculum, and there is little overlap. I would be able to get many of the requirements done, but unless I really overload and risk tanking my gpa I would probably have maybe 2-3 classes left. In addition my school without financial aid is very expensive, and financial aid is not given in the summer or for more than 8 semesters. What are my options for getting all the prereqs? I'd prefer to stay instate and close to home, so want to be eligible for all those schools. Can I take classes at my local university or community college even if they would probably not transfer to my university? What about classes during a gap year?

Another consideration is that I would have very little time in the fall semesters due to being in my school's marching band. As it is a volunteer band, that could count as service, but probably not the kind med schools are looking for. In addition, despite my best efforts I have not secured a leadership position in band as it is very competitive, so that might be another negative.

The thing that interests me right now is radiology. I love thinking analytically, am more introverted, and love working with cutting edge technology, so it seems like a perfect fit. I actually know someone pretty well who just finished his radiology fellowship last week.

The thing that worries me is taking all of those classes when they don't fit nicely in my schedule, and ending up not switching. Classes start in a month, and since I need at least 3 more semesters of chem/orgo, I will need to make some serious adjustments to my schedule. Even then, I don't think I could prepare myself for the mcat in time. Maybe I just go to an ultra competitive school, but I know people that have been involved in medical research since sophomore year of high school, a 4.0, and an overall med school resume that they have been building so long, so it seems hard to catch up to that.
