A bunch of graduate schemes for next year have deadlines in November.
I gotta get my shit together and at least apply, right? I've decided some sort of paid apprenticeship/scheme for a decent company would be a good starting point after I graduate.

Pfft. Edinburgh Uni pre-dates the USA by a couple of centuries.
Just ribbing on you bros across the pond.
Drinking isn't a major, you know.
Non-US universities don't do the major/minor thing. I have only the haziest idea of how that system works.
.. so you just go to university and someone picks a speciality out of a hat for you?
You go to a university to study a specific course, there isn't this thing where you futz around for a couple of years studying whatever takes your interest that I understand happens in the US. You'll generally have some influence over the precise modules/classes that you take, but generally you will be constrained to classes relevant to the course you picked. Rarely, you will be able to add a minimal amount of courseload from outside the faculty you're studying in.

you apply to the specialty when you apply to go to the university. Like, you apply for nordic studies or molecular biology or whatever.
That's what a major is.
Switching majors that are unrelated is hard.
Switch biology to chemistry isn't such a big deal, switching chemistry to art is.
Minors are basically "take enough of a course that you become somewhat knowledgeable in it." No one really recognizes minors so much as it's just a general conversation topic when talking about school. Some schools will make a note of a minor degree like that, though.
Double majors are a thing, though. But you just get two diplomas I think.
not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me

Nah, that's 100% what it's like in the US. You can tack on additional course load if you'd like.
Undeclared ("futzing around for a couple of years") never happens. Maybe for a semester. Mostly because they make you take generalized classes the first year.
Science, math, english, history -> then it starts focusing heavily on your degree path

the equivalent of switching majors here is basically that you stop studying and apply to study something else.
When I went to university before I went to ITT, switching majors beyond like "science->science" usually required you to get permission from the dean of students.

I think you start higher education one year earlier than us (norway) so having general stuff kind of makes sense
for me I've had nothing but things strictly relevant to mechanical engineering from semester one

American freshmen are by and large barely literate and incapable of doing third grade math
game ends with creators taking a shit on the universe and giving the player the middle finger, the parts of the game I hated most are directly from the guy who is in charge now, so any future games are basically all going to be ME3's beginning segment, stupid dream sequences that the music is telling you are emotionally powerful, and bewildering context free endings (oh and you'll notice everything by mac walters had zero exploration or choice, every segment he took direct control over was completely linear)
Yeah well I put like 200 hours into the Multi. I suppose my love of ME hasn't waned. If bad stories were enough to kill brands for me, I couldn't love Star Wars or most games, either.

Minors are dumb in the US. My school literally had a math minor that was built into the CS major. If you did a CS major you automatically would have had the math minor, because the math minor required x hours of any math or CS course above level Y. CS major required x hours of CS courses over level Y. I asked around if it was intentional, and if I should pick out a different minor. the answer was "only if you are a dumbass"

@abdhyius yeah I agree, general ed in college is ridiculous.
The file it under the guise of being well rounded.
Listen Holmes, I did that shit in high school, I think I can manage without it in college. Though medieval history was pretty great, I enjoyed that course a lot.

This wasn't the impression I got at all.
the ending to mass effect could have been spacegenie saying "NO SHEPARD YOU ARE THE REAPERS" and cutting to black and it would have had the same amount of catharsis

TL DRNot at all confident in his reflexive opinions of thingsRegistered Userregular
still, the idea of general knowledge being obligatory for higher education is kinda alien to me
if we wanted to study literature, we would be studying literature, and not law/maths/reservoir engineering/comparative politics
If my college experience is any indication, gen ed classes are really for "alright you were supposed to know this shit out of high school, we really can't give you a degree knowing that you're likely unable to write a goddamn paragraph"
So generally with hydroponics, you have to black out the hoses and reservoir to prevent algae growth. I wonder if I couldn't just toss an algae-eating fish into the reservoir and make this an enclosed aquaponics system?
@tl dr no. most species of algae-eating fish (the most common type you see in pet stores) do not eat nearly enough algae and a large number of them would probably outgrow your enclosure.
I'm just saying that if Mac Walters still is in charge of the franchise, the next game is going to be linear poorly written crap by someone who legitimately looks to things like "the matrix revolutions" for inspiration

They are super bitter
That is often the case here
i guess if you are in Glasgow it is borrow six fingers.
Here's what you do, right
You get them washed and parboil them
Then get a pan going with butter to coat and garlic nice and caramelized
Throw the sprouts in the pan until they get good and cooked
Make sure you get the leafy bits that fell off, too. They will be crispy and fuckmazing

Opposite for me. Amazing ride. Would play again.

And the machine I'm hooked up to beeps every five seconds to show it's on.
Chinese water torture.

With the right structure it can be amazing
The historian will have insights into a given work that a literary critic will not and vice versa

well, yeah, but it's still going to be a bloody lot of wasted time for the people who don't want or need that

I had fun.
Lots of it actually.
So other than the ending I have no complaints.
