the entire reason why I studied cyber security is to prevent cyber crime

also you can't hack a train, why do you think they have drivers

once we get multi-material 3D printers and additive manufacturing becomes a fully fledged industry you can definitely download a train, if you have the raw materials

I swear my professor makes these exams with the mindset that we have double the time than we're actually given.

I don't think anyone finished this one, one of the hardest exams I've ever gotten out of. Was like a half a problem from finishing so it's better than some people I heard.

For some reason this forum itself is making me kind of nostalgic, if that makes sense. Probably because of the headmin elections. Things have changed so much in such a short span since I joined.

Hope you guys are all doing well. This place wouldn't exist if not for all of you.

4chan can be relied upon to be honest

They'll tell you you're a tard for doing stupid shit and if you truly have no idea what to do, they've got guides for that.

you know, working for two years instead of going to uni sounds very appealing to me, after like three failed attempts at studying something I've promptly lost interest in.

Dumb idea.

I'm not ditching uni entirely, I'm just gonna take a break to figure out what I really want.

Besides, while it's hard to get a job in Norway regardless, I don't think it's necessary for me to go around with a flashy fuck of a diploma to have something to grind money from for a bit

Artificial sweeteners suck for the body, try to avoid them

Your body will think it had sugars, finds out there's no sugars, and then go into 'Oh fuck need to eat more sugars!' mode
Probably won't do much for the anxiety, but it's a general health thing

Anonmare · Post by **Anonmare** » Tue Mar 13, 2018 7:55 pm #390493

The diet shit is worse for you than the actual sugar stuff

Go drink juice or water if you can, if you need help getting off of the sugar water - put some syrup in your water and gradually lower the amount. Normal water will taste crap to you because your body has accustomed itself to a sweet taste and it needs to get used to unflavoured water

Pretty much. I finally start putting effort into getting into shape and shit and I just get thrown a curve ball. Kinda makes me feel like the effort was worthless.
