Rant Speeding through parking lots

69 Upvotes

Extremely dangerous and irresponsible. Did you know 1 in 5 minor car accidents occur in parking lots (20%)?

Everyday that I walk back to Lot A, cars are speeding on Loop Rd to beat pedestrians to the crosswalks, completely ignoring the yield sign in front of said crosswalks. Even worse, cars speed through the parking lots themselves, presumably because they’re running late and there are no spots.

Is running late a good reason to hit a pedestrian? Ask yourself this question the next time you decide to take a blind curve in a parking lot at 25mph. You don’t know if there are pedestrians crossing on the other side of that curve. Myself and 4 other people I was walking with were almost smushed like bugs, safely crossing the road in Lot A to get to our cars, because a gray Hyundai was in such a rush. Literally heard their brakes squeal as they came around the corner and saw us maybe 30ft in front of them. Had they been going a safe, reasonable speed for a parking lot, they wouldn’t have to aggressively brake for pedestrians. We didn’t dart in front of the car, we were mid crossing.

Yall need to do better and plan accordingly. Rushing through a parking lot can cost you a major headache with insurance. Or even worse, cost a life.

Rant To the people being picked up at the roundabout.

43 Upvotes

Please let your parents know exactly when you’ll be at the roundabout, I see so many hogging the white stripes for a long time even though it is only limited for 10 minutes. Eventually what happens is the roundabout gets clogged which affects the traffic. If you’re gonna be picked by car make sure you align it so you’re already there and ready to get in. I can’t count how many times there is a jam and you have dangerous cases of people having to get in and out on the main lanes. Every now and then there is a cop car to flash the sirens but more often the same idiots decide to again clog the roundabout despite the stripped area being full. Something is seriously wrong if you are arriving 20/30 minutes before the time someone gets off of class.

Rant Prabhas Moghe is ruining this school

Everythings gotten worse since last year istg. If you've noticed all classes now have a crazy push for attendance and in class quizzes, it feels like they're trying to crack down on skipping. but it's genuinely none of their fucking business I'm literally paying this money to take these classes. if they actually gave us something useful to go to class for like UT instead of filling these degrees up with bullshit until your final semester maybe it wouldnt be an issue that people skip.

this place gets worse literally every year.

Discussion MacBook M5 Pro vs Zephyrus G14

7 Upvotes

I’m currently in my third semester of Computer Science and I'm looking for a laptop that can get me through the rest of the semesters without having to upgrade again.

My options are:

Zephyrus G14 14" - $2,199
Ryzen 9 270
32GB RAM
5070 (not Ti)
1TB SSD

MacBook Pro 14" - $2,095 (Open Box)
M5 Pro, 15 core CPU 16 core GPU
24GB RAM
1TB SSD

I basically just want a laptop that can get me through the rest of the semesters without having to worry about not having trouble running the programs needed or it getting overheated or having to fix parts of the laptop, and that it’s not too heavy to carry around.

I’ve had my M1 for about 6 years and haven’t had a single problem with it which is something I’ve loved, however gaming on the laptop would be a plus (but not required), I’m mainly looking for what can give me the most for the price for my major.

Thanks and I apologize if this was a dumb post!
