  • I went to a university that thinks of itself as prestigious - though not a US one. The teaching and the course were a bucketful of shite. All it really had was decent libraries. There was the odd smart person, but they all did mostly research and were hardly involved in teaching.

    Admittedly, I chose a stupid subject that I now know to be useless, but the university shuld have known that and not offered the course in the first place. It was a massive waste of my time. Fortunately for me our Government covered most of the fees - but that just makes it a waste of other peoples money.

    The whole thing seemed largely to be a badging excercise for a bunch of posh cunts.








  • I love programs like freecad despite the really hard/unintuitive gui. 95% of all the modelling i need to do (as an amateur) can be done easily in a python script.

    The finishing touches like adding filets and chamfers are the annoying part were gui is easier, due to the way edges are referenced.

    Likewise at work, we have to produce a lot of regular reports in excel. All done via python / sql.
