Doing an engineering degree, worth it? by 0x-in engineering

university

(I'm in a college)

The distinction in America usually comes from if you have a football team or not. So you may have to explain that one a bit to us southerners.

You kept saying this word 'can't'. Why. Why 'can't' you?

Because I'm going to bet that you can.

Because they're prepaying for their future. I did the maths in another thread.

Someone linked this in another thread.

It's quite hilarious but very NSFW.

Try browsing /r/pics They make absolutely no sense, they're linking to the wrong images.

Our rugby team has a "Rookie Appreciation" night tomorrow, any ideas? by West96in rugbyunion

[–]darkscout 1 point2 points ago

Have them perform skits as veteran players (this ends up quite hilarious). Force them to lead a song (which if they're really new they'll screw up and Das Boot.)

After all the shit they'll go through, toss and get them a stripper. (No one says the stripper has to be attractive. Or female).

Oops. I misspoke. It's a pinball place not a full arcade.

Main Street Amusements

I've just walked by there a few times bar hopping Lafayette bars.

I think I'm going to take 100$ in quarters in sometime and just play until my hands go numb,

Why after? Why not now?

TIL that in the 90's Coca Cola had a plan to have their vending machines automatically raise or lower the price of a soda according to that day's temperature. by Aregular89in todayilearned

[–]darkscout 1 point2 points ago

It'd be true supply and demand if they fed temperature, weather, time of day, etc into a neural net that determined the relationship between all of them and found out the conditions that led to increased buying. It'd also need to take into account how full the machine was.

If it was 90F, Sunny and 2 pm but the machine hadn't sold a single can that day the price should fall because there is obviously no demand. If it was 60F and overcast but there was only 1 can left at 10 am and no restocking until noon then the price should go up.

How much time do you spend in the office a week? by amyntasin AskEngineers

[–]darkscout 4 points5 points ago

just happens during crunch time?

When is it not crunch time.

Full time, sometimes I always work at least 45. At the same time I don't really count it because I reddit/fark/personal time throughout the day when I hit a mental road block.

And my division manager knows how hard we work and is rather flexible with work time and vacation. My group rolls in between 7 am and 10 am (me). If I know I'm going to be stuck there until 8 because a test won't be ready I'll come in at noon. After a particularly hard crunch time I got a full extra week of vacation and spent 3 weeks in Europe. I've also just gotten random days off for Dr appointments. No one tracks everyones time. If you have kids some people VPN in and work from home if one is sick and won't count it against sick time.

As a contractor do you get all of the benefits that the full time positions get? Matched 401k, health, dental? (Not a dig, honestly asking)

Do you like video games? There's an arcade in Lafayette.

You don't HAVE to be the creeper on the dance floor. The piano man is entertaining in his own right. After being DD/sober a few weeks in a row it gets old because you see it's a 'show' that hasn't changed in 6+ years. But it's still fun after a long week to just go in and belt out some tunes.

It's actually pretty ridiculously easy. You can probably pick up 75% of the rules/action from that clip. Would it be be beneficial for all involved for someone to do a play by play of that video? I have a few hours to kill tonight.

Are you me? Granted I'm just a history buff but I cringe anytime someone orders one.

Also, the 9/11 drinking experience isn't just a round. (We came up with this when someone told me to 'lighten up' about the irish car bomb)

1 flaming shot dropped into a dark beer: A Pentagon.

2 shots dropped into the tallest narrowest glasses the bar has: No 1 and No 2.

You just drop one beer on the ground: Pennsylvania Special.

You knock one shot over: No. 7.

On numerous occasions my Dad was stitched up with dental floss and a sewing needle. I'm much too civilized for that sort of behavior, I carry super glue. (And it work great).

[BIFL Request] Laptop bag/case by afuckingHELICOPTERin BuyItForLife

[–]darkscout 2 points3 points ago

I'll second the backpack. I have a M6500 for work. It's a beast (Dual - 4 core i7s), 8 GB ram. Personally it's not that heavy. I can hold it like an infant with the screen open over my forearm when I go to meetings but any appreciable distance in the laptop bag and my neck is killing me. My 12 hours of flying and wandering through airports was hell.

Get a backpack.
