NTT posted:Yoga is actually pretty hard, and i ripped my pants It's extremely hard for me, a guy who can't get his legs to spread to a 90° angle and, bending from the waist, can barely reach to mid-shin, and one of whose shoulders has the annoying habit of subluxing. Wait no, it's easy, because there are so many poses that I can't even attempt that I'm limited to routines and classes "recommended for those with arthritis" and can stand out by literally standing without assistance.

19 credit hours here. At least two, maybe three of my classes are complete jokes (freshman core requirements that I'm taking late because I transferred), so I figured I wouldn't get a better opportunity to tack on an extra one.

I can't believe "don't cheat in school, it's a bad idea" is something that still needs to be said to someone who can form complete sentences. e: I mean, especially for an easy class where all you need to do to get a good grade is (A) properly format your paper with the teacher's name and date and page numbers and poo poo and (B) don't loving plagiarize.

App13 posted:I mean, my class was taught and aided in cheating for every exam in A-school and C-school, so you kind of get used to it. Not saying I've ever cheated in non-military school, but I could empathize. I'm obviously not saying it's fine to cheat on tests, but papers are a whole different thing. Stuff you write in college sticks around for decades and gets dug up and reread for a variety of reasons. I'm leaving aside the whole ethical issue since clearly that isn't a problem for this idiot.

Yeah, for some reason Word doesn't do MLA citations correctly. It gets you most of the way there, but then you have to disable updates and fix your bibliography , after which you can't use the citation feature because you'd have to re-enable updates and scrap all your manual corrections. e: and since you should be updating your bibliography all the way through the writing process, this defeats the whole purpose of the software feature

So she's sick all the time and now needs to be debugged because she's got a bunch of fleas living on her. lol I mean, I pet strays too, that's what they're there for, but drat. My personal hygiene has never been bad enough that I picked up fleas even when I worked in an animal shelter. Getting sick is what people from first world countries do in South America, though, so I can't really begrudge her that.

Don't set out to be a "CNC machinist" if you want to make any money at all. "CNC machinists" more often than not are actually "operators," which involves a lot of watching tools stir coolant and not much analytical thought. By the nature of their job, CNC operators will dwindle as the robots they are assigned to monitor get better at monitoring themselves. CAD/CAM guys are usually called something different, and those jobs too are getting assigned more to engineers as the machines get vastly more capable and complicated. In my opinion, and I am aware that some people more qualified than me would disagree, the only sustainable machining career after 2020 is in small-lot and custom work, which relies on a broad knowledge base and rewards flexibility. Even for small-lot or one-off work CNC programming and setup is an essential skill*, but that alone won't get you very far. *There are always exceptions. Most auto shops don't use CNC anything. e: My opinion may be faintly colored by an aesthetic bias against CNC machining, but I think I gave the question a fair shake here. Eugene V.

I don't know enough about the industry but it seems like he's making pretty nice cash, as are the apprentices he trains. Yeah, it's nice work if you can get it. I'm actually going back to work as a machinist at a small local shop over my summer break. I was tempted last year to sell my old tools to fund a substantial car repair, and now I'm awfully glad I sold the car instead.

I try to keep my social life a complete mystery. All dates are off-campus and with people outside of my regular circle of friends. It's already a little awkward being 3-4 years older than everybody else—the last thing I need is some loving relationship drama at a small, fairly conservative college.

Zeris posted:A decent-paying summer internship at a startup wants a yes/no from me but I'm still interviewing at several other places and expecting a few offers. I wouldn't start at that internship until mid-May, so over a month out. Should I be selfish and just accept the offer now, and back out later if I get a better one? I already told the startup offer that I had some other stuff going on, but they still want a decision from me before I know all of my options. Say yes, back out if somewhere else makes it worth your while. Hail capitalism.

Kawasaki Nun posted:There isn't a well defined ethical code for vet attending school on VOC Rehab that I'm aware of. If the program is designed in such a way that you are able to purchase 45$ pencils without an upper limit then outside of purchasing items strictly for resale it would seem you're OK. There is a pretty distinct difference between purchasing an expensive item to be used for your schooling and overcharging the government for an item that you purchased or manufactured for significantly less than you charged. What do you think actually happens when a contractor overcharges the government? It's not just one guy applying a x10 multiplier to a spreadsheet column. In at least one place in the supply chain, there is a gigantic markup, but there's nothing to say that that markup occurs at the very end, at the point where the contractor bills the government. All the way along, there are unscrupulous or apathetic underlings who contribute to loving over everybody else who relies on the system. They either (A) have a huge budget, so they don't care about saving money or (B) know that the end of the supply chain has a huge budget, so they gouge prices. All it takes is some nosy congressman grubbing for every cent he can redirect to the F-35 program in his home district to point out "hey, look at these $45 pencils! Here's a place where we can save the taxpayer money!" This happens time and time again. Frankly, I don't get it. You arent' selling the (theoretical) overpriced pencil, so you aren't getting rich off VR&E. All you get is a $4 pencil that somebody else overpaid for by 1000%. But you buy it anyway, transferring money from a great program for veterans to whom? Why? (This is all assuming that the pencils are actually priced at $45, and he isn't pocketing any money, although that would make way more sense.) You aren't less liable for perpetrating waste and abuse just because you don't personally benefit from it. e: Kawasaki Nun posted:What is it that you think is the appropriate course of action in this scenario? You can get a kickass drafting pencil for $5. Eugene V. Dubstep fucked around with this message at 22:34 on Apr 10, 2016 |

Kawasaki Nun posted:Those are fair points. Doesn't Voc Rehab involve meeting with a councilor fairly regularly about what you're doing and what you need to meet your employment goals? I would think they would also monitor your purchases that are funded through the program, and would be empowered to limit any sort of extravagant spending that's without purpose. This is conjecture on my part from what I understand of the program but in my opinion anything they approve for your spending is fair game. That's just offloading integrity onto the guy who's supposed to be in charge, which is just so goddamn typical of the military. I hope everybody enjoyed their SHARP briefings, this is how we got them.

Was on an "academic retreat" to the beach this weekend with a Marine reservist and ten single 20-year-old women. Intelligent, earnest, built like a brick wall—and holy poo poo he would not shut up about the Marines. I understand pushing every advantage you've got, but for the only other person on the trip with any idea what the difference between the services were, hearing him explain that how the "expeditionary mission" of the Marines makes them basically special forces got pretty annoying by the third time. He also made me feel like a weenie when he took his shirt off.
