So if half+7 isn't a whole year, can you round down? This is important.

We have the same thing at my school only they pretty it up by calling it "Business communications for engineers", instead of "how to live with Aspergers" Not sure how you crazy fucks can handle 19 credits and such, I can barely handle 13 -Fundamentals of Electronics +Lab -Differential Equations and Linear Algebra -Embedded Design and Robotics +Lab

Booblord Zagats posted:Why the gently caress are you guys dealing with cops so often you need poo poo to hedge the bet? eh, dealing with cops once every couple of years is worth hedging your bets if you ask me, though I don't drive nearly as fast as I used to anymore. That said living in Boston it's super nice to have an extra hedge when it comes to parking tickets for those times when you mis-judge how many coins to feed the meter. One time they put up "no parking sidewalk repair" sign after I had already parked the car and I didn't drive for a couple days so I never noticed. Some construction dude was pounding on my door at like 7am trying to find out if I knew who owned the car because they really didn't want the cops to tow it, that alone was worth the scarlet letter if you ask me. I should probably mention I have purple heart plates though, so they are both forever free and extra good at getting away with poo poo, YMMV.

LITERALLY SHAKING posted:You bet your rear end disabled vet tags exist. And handicapped vet plates, if your inevitable VA rating is less than 100%. In California, maybe? Can't see why they wouldn't. I don't know how it is elsewhere, buy in Tennessee, disabled vet tags don't need windshield placards for old man rockstar parking, but handicapped still do. In MA the disabled vet tags are based on the civilian standard for handicap plates not your VA rating, not sure how it works in other states. (Basically if you meet handicap criteria and are a vet you get disabled vet plates)

I don't know I've traveled a couple times with the paintball team and it's always involved me sitting in the back of a van for 6 hours while drinking whiskey out of a flask and getting high as balls cause they keep passing blunts around. Then getting there and drinking with the coaches all night while they ask me how I'm going to manage to play inn the morning.

I feel like the only vet that likes/gets along with their much younger classmates. I think it's because engineer culture is also built on the glorification of shared suffering.

I've had the opposite experience: I'm an officer with our vet's group and my social life revolves mostly around it. We don't have biker dudes sporting CIBs though, wearing military poo poo is generally a fast track to having everyone make fun of you, culture is closer to this forum then anything else. When we're not making a permanent presence at the local college bar we mostly just do a bunch of charity poo poo and get drunk during/after while also convincing the school that networking is a good reason to pay for an open bar once a month (in fairness, it actually is).

holocaust bloopers posted:I had a similar experience at my college. For about a year, I was actively involved in the school's vet group. My goal was to drop all of the dumb military bullshit that excludes everyone and is off putting to some vets. That tactic worked: membership went up and the school administration became incredibly favorable to us. This, our group is focused on helping our student vets succeed, doing charity stuff to help vets in the community that aren't having as easy of a time as us, and having a social group of people who are closer to our age. The school has been pretty completely sold on the idea that being a major veteran friendly school is really good for them as well so we've had a lot of success.

It might be because I go to a private school that's a little harder to get into (so it weeds out a lot of the idiots), but I haven't had bad experiences with vets on campus. Our student vet culture probably resembles this subforum more then anything, and most if our vets are doing legit cool stuff. It could also be that since I'm heavily involved in the student veterans organization that I'm mostly exposed to the most motivated guys too. Either way my experiences with vets on campus has been stuff like amputees with a grant to develop new prosthetics and business majors setting up really sweetheart arrangements for vets with local big finance firms.

Pretty sure it still burns your post 9/11 like described above. But you shouldn't use Post 9/11 if you can get VR&E IMHO. It doesn't, I dropped to 2/3 time last summer for a semester and burned at 2/3 rate (post 9/11)

M_Gargantua posted:I've got thanksgiving week to learn multivariable calc. Its a class where the only grade that counts is the final and after two weeks I couldn't stand the professor or the fact that it was a m/w/f 50 minute class that meant I had to drive the half an hour to school and then back. Hello me, Only I'm more of the "need to ace the last couple quizzes to rescue my grade" variety. At least multivariable calc isn't that bad, unlike differential equations where if I missed a class I wouldn't have a clue wtf was going on calc is somewhat intuitive.

Though YMMV because they weren't scrutinizing my income that hard cause my wife's was plenty for the mortgage, mine was just nudging the interest rate matrix.

Little under 48 myself, I feel like I understand everything well enough but gently caress me if every time I start to do a problem I can't seem to properly visualize the 3d space enough to figure out things like bounds of integration, order, or if I can close it and use a shortcut.
