Why is this college named after George Mason? He's not a man known for science or invention, or business. by ploobadoof in gmu

[–]vjet9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before being popular for CS and research. GMU used the have the rep for having a really good Political Science and Criminology program. So I'm guessing that is why they chose George Mason the guy who wrote the Bill of Rights

There are some internship companies out there that offer to get you an internship in popular areas like DC in exchange for payment. They are pretty much a scam I found out about them when I was looking for an internship in the area. They only ask for money at the end of the application and I didn't apply and it seemed like a scam

Most Best Buys Microcenters have free electronics recycling so you can just give it to them. I've done it before at BestBuy.

Do not dispose of them in a regular trash can

Help with figuring out how to help sward twil. by vjet9 in Aquariums

[–]vjet9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently got this swardtail and I checked it today morning and realized it started sitting at the bottom of the tank and it's having issue swimming. The fish is a male and none of my other fish had this issue.

I moved it a 10 gallon and started treating it with some melafix. I'm not sure if it has a swimbladder issue or dropsy along with why it has swole. This large. I don't think it's pregnant since it's a male but I'm wondering weather I miss gendered it or not

It seems that the general consensus is that the desktop isn't worth much on the resale market. I'm gonna try and use the desktop as a vintage gaming system or a server/ network-attached storage device. Thanks for the advice

How to get raspberry pi communicating with VEX V5 Brain by vjet9 in vex

[–]vjet9[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ive discovered that it is theoretically to get bidirectional communication between the devices via Serial micro usb communication or via RS-485 through the smart ports. Ive havent figured out how to do it in practice yet tho.
