Enourmo posted:well ifi can swing an engineering internship (which are typically paid, usually around $20 an hour no less), just working over summer will earn me like $10-12k. which is why im sweating that so much, it could potentially turn my situation around with way less stress than getting a full-tim min-wage job, trying to study the same as i do now, and trying to apply for an actual big-boy job. So find out the recruiter's contact information, email them, explain your situation, and ask for more information. My engineering school had someone dedicated to helping students find a co-op. There are way more opportunities for co-ops than just the recruiters that come on campus. If you school has a career services department, ask them to look over your resume. This may or may not help, they didn't change anything on my resume.

Also see if you can dash off between tests or whatever... I definitely wore a suit to class several times so I could make it to the job fair after. Also, Enourmo, PM me if you're interested in internships out of state... Most places give a relocation allowance, and you can even make some $ if you drive.

So I'm toying with the idea of getting a raspberry pi to play some old games on my TV. I see a lot of kits and poo poo, is any of that any necessary or can I just get the actual thing, an SD card, a case and a controller and run with that?

I have a B+, and I printed up a case for it, plugged in a generic ebay SNES controller, and am going to town with RetroPie. I took probably a night to set it up, and most of that was copying files in the right order according to whatever wiki or article how-to I googled 10 minutes prior. Runs genesis games better than SNES or 64, but that's probably because it's a B+ (I always seem to buy the redheaded stepchild of whatever industry) and not something more powerful.

I kinda hosed up the spokes since I wanted to get the lip completely coated. The pic is with 3 coats. I put on a 4th afterwards. I'm not sure if I want to apply the glossifier product. I tagged a spare license plate I had laying around with the color coat just now so I'll use that as my color card.

The Peterson Automotive Museum in Los Angeles - is it as awesome as it looks? Considering driving over next weekend for something else (a scale model show) that's being held there, but wouldn't go only for the model show, so if the museum itself is worth a trip, would probably help to tip the decision in favor of going and dealing with L.A.

You really don't need to computer janitor current phones. Just don't install the facebook app, or messenger. That tends to be problematic. You can tell Chrome to provide notifications for a webpage, and just do that for facebook's mobile site.

Well today was the first day that I was supposed to have worked for GrubHub instead of Dining In. loving amateur hour, if you can even call it that. Restaurants not getting orders, me not getting poo poo for orders, Dining In dispatch asking me why I didn't log in to DI's system today (along with nearly 20 other drivers, apparently).... emailed the driver coordinator for the area (she works for both DI and GH now) to figure out which side is up. Talked to some other drivers who were under the impression that we're supposed to log in to both systems, another who thought we were only supposed to log in to DI, another who thought GH only... edit: earnings finally posted, GrubHub has a guaranteed minimum hourly rate.. so at least they made up the lovely night a bit. loving  at their per mile rates though, they pay mileage as the bird flies, not on actual roads. Paid for 12 miles when I actually drove 50.Pham Nuwen posted:We still do, poo poo I got half my (private) college tuition paid for on an academic grant by having a 3.9 in HS, doing pretty good (1460) on the SAT, and maintaining decent grades in college. Could have had the whole thing free if I'd gone to one of the two state schools in my home state that offered me full tuition. UNT is about $7400 for in-state, assuming you don't factor in living expenses. Pretty affordable. Only about an hour away from UT Arlington too. Between my income and GPA, I actually qualified for a full ride at UNT (tuition only). But since there's a federal cap on how many hours you can attempt in your life and still qualify for aid (even if you didn't get financial aid before  ), I can't get the grants anymore.  Wasn't a scholarship, it was two grants (Pell, which a lot of people can get, and one specific to UNT).e: my GPA isn't anything special either, I think the UNT grant was available to anyone with lower income who was passing. Elmnt80 posted:Lol, UT Arlington is considered a joke by the people that live near there. If you want a texas school, Baylor, UT Austin, A&M and UNT are all considered to be much better schools for the tuition it would cost.  Baylor is just a bit more expensive than any of the others. Remember Baylor is a private school, not state. ExplodingSims posted:You know what's really fun?

You can upload up to something like 20k or 25k songs to ~the cloud~ and stream them to your phone. Slacker Radio is pretty nice if you want to just pick a genre. If you're on T-Mobile, both of those fall into their free data thing (where music doesn't count against your data use). randomidiot fucked around with this message at 12:09 on Mar 1, 2016 |

leica posted:[edit] Oh yeah and music, what's the best music app? I've been using Poweramp (30 day trial with IAP to get the full version for about $5AU). Play Music was nice but the shuffle feature gave me the shits and it was annoying having to start playing music manually when using a bluetooth headset. Poweramp has proper random playback and an option to autoplay when a bluetooth headset connects to the phone so it lets me just turn the comms unit on when I'm on the bike without having to stop and get the phone out.

Hopefully I can get all the negative out of they early this month. So I bent a wheel on a pothole in the Jetta, that's still at the tire shop getting fixed, no biggie right? I'll just take the Crown Vic to work. drat thing just shuts off when it warms up. Took me like 45 mins to go 15 miles round trip--I never made it to work, just about 7 miles down the highway. I'm mad enough at it that I'm tempted to just buy a crate motor and slam it in, that'll fix all the issues, right? (other than the trans-that still needs to be replaced) I I buy a new drivetrain for it it's only about 5 grand.... I can't get a car that will be literally brand new mechanically for less than that can I?

A LSD and disco potato to upgrade the FiST. B) The FiST will never be a road course car and a DD. Buy someone's used-up race car and a trailer. C) Uhhh, you're starting to get into middle age. Retirement is real! Contribute the entire wad to 401K "catch-up" so this year is maxed out. D) Buy that new couch and electronics. E) ???
