You could see they increased the budget a lot. The facial adjustment for young Ego was unbelievably good when compared to what they did with Tron. More lines for Drax and Dave Bautista being hilarious gives me hope that he can become another Dwayne Johnson. Last note; Zardu Hasselfrau lmao

You'll probably get placed in the middle of nowhere but as long as you have a couple of cool teachers to work with it can be a great experience though I wouldn't recommend making a career out of it. My sister moved to Japan with the JET program straight out of uni but quit after 6 months lol. That was 15 years ago and she's still in Tokyo

Haven't lifted in almost 3 months, feel like crap. I was doing really well, from July of last year to January I went from 135lbs to 165lbs, (I'm 6'1") put on lots of muscle. Frigging vasectomy recovery. Couple weeks my rear end. I know I'm an outlier but it sucks. Good news is I'm finally feeling up to lifting again soon. Seeing the losses though will stink.

How terrible are late 90's Mazda Millenia's? We're still auditioning potential cars for the group project and one of the guys found a '99 with the supercharger for $900. It's got wheel well rust and mismatched wheels but it runs well enough. The s/c seems to have an issue but for $900 could we really go wrong here? I bet we can talk the dude down because it is UGLY.

gently caress I lied, e/n dump incoming Financial aid officiant dropped again due to the same credit hour limit as before, no way they'll let me appeal it after this most recent semester. There goes any hope of pretending everything's fine, gotta go to mom if I wanna pay classes out of pocket and explain why. And then she'll question if I have what it takes to finish school, like she always has when things went wrong in the past, to which my only reply is I tried the blue collar life and found myself inadequate; this is my only hope. I can feel poo poo starting to unravel, big time. And of all days for it to come together. Happy mother's day! Your son's a useless lump. /EN

Enourmo posted:gently caress I lied, e/n dump incoming For what it's worth, you seem to be a better student and a better engineer than I was/am, which is why I made the crack earlier that I did. You hold yourself to a high standard. You seem to stay on top of it most of the time, and (from what you've posted anyway) are taking it seriously and applying yourself. It took me 10 years to get my BS because I kept getting distracted and forgetting how to really buckle down and do work, but I still made it through. The only difference between my situation and yours is that my parents are more forgiving than yours, apparently. So you should know that just because you are imperfect and are at a low spot right now, doesn't mean that tons of people who have done the same thing haven't come out the other side victorious. But it is a lot of work. You're in your junior year? I had to retake some things around that time too.

Straight up dude I graduated uni with a 2.6 and the lowest you could get is a 2.5 Granted I have no idea how it works for engineering but I still managed to find a great job that didn't care about my GPA, only about what I knew and what I was willing to learn. If I hadn't worked 50hr/week and played a lot of video games I probbo would have done better (aka played more video games and less work) but eh

It's not that they've been unforgiving so far, it's just that every setback like this pushes the generosity a little further and I don't know how much is left. Like stretching a rubber band and waiting for the snap. But yeah two Ds and a straight up F, it's a real loving bad look.

Like stretching a rubber band and waiting for the snap. I bet you'll ace them the second time through. Unless they aren't prerequisites, so you can just leave them be and apply yourself to the next thing on the list. I did a little bit better than TT with a 2.9, but I definitely had to re-take several classes, two of them from the same semester. Sometimes poo poo just happens and you gotta just head back down to the trenches and sort that poo poo out. If your mother is giving you poo poo for stumbling, that's just not right. Feel free to take her money, but I can't imagine that she never made a mistake herself. In fact, if it was all too easy, I'd say you were doing the wrong thing. All the interesting stuff in life is hard, and sucks sometimes.

I guess it's a side effect of hearing her war stories. She grew up dirt poor, her dad was an engineer for 40 years but between 7 kids they just barely scraped by. At 18 she was out on her own, working through accounting school at winn dixie (at the same university as me no less), then fighting the next 20 years to be taken seriously as a career woman in the 80s and 90s, all while having me and my sisters and divorcing my dad. Finally landed a good job around 2k, lost a ton of real estate value in 08 but still manages to have a mind boggling net worth, at least from my pov. She literally bootstrapped herself from nothing to upper middle class. Next to that it feels like how loving dare I be so... mediocre.

Okay, but her situation is not your situation, and you are not her. I bet you could do accounting too, but that's not what you're passionate about. I know people who are working 2 jobs and taking a full load and pulling straight As, but those people aren't me. So do the best you can, and follow your passion for as long as you are able. Sounds like she's quite able to pay for your school, and I'm sure she wants you to succeed. Just stay passionate and try not to make the same mistake twice.

Take back the bootstrap comment, then compare how many hours you had to work to pay for college at her time vs yours. I failed my first year of uni and had to redo from start pretty much at my parents cost, I hope they never find out it was because I was stoned and loving almost non-stop but I know they don't care about the money now because of where I've got to 15 years later. I've underachieved compared to my dad in my opinion but they're proud of me and my brothers for who we are. poo poo dude I got a 2,2 degree and I've never had to actually tell anyone that when getting a job, it's literally never mattered.

I hated university because I knew everything they were teaching me was decades out of date and I was just box ticking to get a degree to get a job to get experience to get a better job etc... If you are pulling 50/h a week working to help pay for it then that is the main issue really. Just talk to your mother and thrash it out, she seems like a reasonable person who knows what it is like to start with a handicap in life and will want to minimize that for her children.

In some areas of my life, I'm both terminally lazy and quite rubbish. But people don't see that so much if the bit that directly affects them is going according to plan. And yes, you are not your mother, and the world she was dealing with is not the world as it is now. In other news, I spent the morning hanging out with the guys from Regular Car Reviews, they're good blokes. Cappo had loads of people wanting a poke around or sit in it.

My first semester I pulled a solid 1.8 GPA. After that, I realized that it was time to put on my big boy pants and I hardened the gently caress up. From that point on, I pulled almost straight As and ended up cum laude in undergrad. So basically, your loving around time is spent. Time to shake it off, harden the gently caress up and do the work!

Enourmo posted:Man, I was looking at getting cop style center caps for the car, but they're like $40-70 on ebay for a full set, and like another 50 for the chrome trim rings I want. Guess I'll live with the granny hubcaps for now. I don't know about the trim rings ( because I hate the look of trim rings in those wheels), but I found a set of the caps on eBay for $35, so that's about right. I already had two, so I have a pair of spares. I found a wrecking yard that had a lot of ex-cop cars, but I think someone makes a living of snagging all the hubcaps and aluminum wheels. In other news, and in no way aimed at you, Enourmo - completely coincidental - my wife graduated Cum Laude with her BS in Paralegal Studies yesterday. I'm unbelievably proud of her for sticking with it, and terrified of the debt.... For reference, we're both in our 40s, and she works full time and is raising a daughter and husband. It can be done. Her request for Mother's Day was to do nothing. This is the first day in several years that she hasn't had something due, or a schedule to plan, or financials to arrange.

I spent mother's day (and yesterday) helping a local flower shop with deliveries. The floral industry must be a loving racket on par with higher education because dude is paying 6 folks to build arrangement in shop and three drivers 7-10 per delivery. Of course that's probably why the arrangements cost anywhere from 70-150 dollars.
