    I read that private universities, even Ivy League isn't technically "harder" as they accept people who are already really good at test taking. Also those places will do everything they can to make sure you know enough to make good grades there. At least I hear Harvard does that. I also hear MIT...

    I said I am better at math related stuff... doesn't mean I sail through classes making straight A's and having an easy time. I still gotta work and I still don't make stellar grades. Maybe about 5 points higher than memorization based classes though... I do not know what MIT's curriculum is...

    I'm going to a really good Geosciences school. I work really hard and still make average grades. It's really hard sometimes, and memorization isn't really my strong suit but there's sometimes a lot of that. I know medical school has a LOT more memorization. I find I'm actually better at math...

    I don't have that problem personally... I'm too weird for girls to want me around anyways so I got time for making more "scary" stuff like guns and rockets...

    Unless he's taking classes in the summer, he shouldn't be really busy. But Mechanical Engineering is hard in itself. Perhaps he has other issues he's dealing with.

    Rust blued Remington 700 recoil lug. Proof of concept, since I just wanted to find how well rust bluing worked. I do not have any hydrochloric acid at the time, so I took some diluted acid based drain cleaner (I was going to use it for anodizing, it's sulfuric acid) and rubbed it on the...

    1 dead, 3 wounded at UT Austin

    I'm hearing all sorts of rumors but officially they said the guy was targetting random people, not just frat boys. However I heard another rumor that the guy watches those "all whites are evil" kind of videos or something and it seems he only hurt whites and asians. Problem is us Asians have...

    1 dead, 3 wounded at UT Austin

    I do not know what was the motive but according to the news the guy suddenly changed and said he was "going through some stuff". I imagine they will dig it up in the subsequent investigation.

    https://kxan.com/2017/05/01/reports-of-multiple-people-stabbed-on-ut-campus/ I was a block away when it happened. I was just working on some assignments related to my field trip last sunday and I heard sirens and thought it was a fire or car accident or something. Then I get a text alert...

    I'm going to UT, I'm only taking 12 hours but doing research on the side so I hardly have any free time anyways. What school are you going to, and what are you studying?

    GUNS & ROCKETS

    I been using a 80% 10/22 and it eats anything with perfect reliability. I don't know about 22 caliber conversion kits but I always thought conversion kits are iffy since they're attempting to make firearms not designed to shoot .22lr shoot them... I tested Browning (reputed to be the worst)...

    Who makes thier own igniters?

    Last time I made my own igniter using the wire wrap method it didn't work. I don't know why but maybe the pyrogen somehow broke the connection. I soldered it after that (you can do it with those soldering paste for plumbing) and it works flawlessly. You can do both (wire wrap then solder) to...

    Self Defense

    Nowhere does the Constitution say that the government is responsible for the people's individual safety. They are responsible for the safety of the nation as a whole, but not individual safety. DC v. Warren settled the case. If the government is not responsible for our personal safety wouldn't...
