Learned'd VIII: Less Bewbs, Same Nonsense

[frapjap]

Tropical storm coming up the east coast tomorrow/Saturday.

[TurboSauce]

Sounds like fun.
not really, we just had two weeks of rain.
PITA

what's up in this bish

Also, I just remembered

Hype y0!

[dre1507]

We've had about 3 weeks of on and off rain so far in Miami, and the incoming storm is bringing more. On the upside, the IS is out of the shop and getting tagged this weekend. A few more cosmetic jobs and it'll be picture worthy.

[frapjap]

Awesome man, can't wait to see it.

I don't miss Florida, not one bit...

[TurboSauce]

Dre, you were in Miami?

I didn't know that.
LOL
Im studying at JWU

[dre1507]

WAAAAAIIIIIT!!!!! Johnson & Wales University? If so, we gotta meet up one of these days.

Ray, Florida is Ok. The rain is actually a better alternative to the heat right now, because once it stops raining, the heat makes you beg for more rain.

[TurboSauce]

Yeah, Right on biscayne.
Though I won't be back until september. Lmfao
It would be hype.
I also met this dude with a 2jzgte single turbo is
works at walgreens. car looks beastly.

[dre1507]

Well, September it is. I'm gonna try to do manual swap first before I throw out my GE. Wanna make it enjoyable before I start chasing power.

Also, you're at my Alma Mater. I've graduated from the Miami and Providence campuses. What are you studying there? The manatees still wind up in the canal behind the school? If you haven't been, shoot over to Little Havana across the street. MAN, I miss that place.

I heard the surrounding area is no longer ghetto like it was when I was there (graduated c/o 2003) and that they've purchased all of the land, moved the trash out, and beautified the place. JW is good for that, they did WONDERS to the Charleston campus. The area between the school and Biscayne Commons was VERY sketchy at night. That set of dorms was also a dump, too. Also heard that they renovated the old psych ward building into dorms, is that true? Its the one to the left if you're looking at the back side of Publix. We used to get drunk and push over the milk crates stacked in the back parking lot and run away.

Well sh*t. You guys will be stomping around on my aunt's territory when I visit around that time. God, I love Key Biscayne. Fell asleep there several nights cause I was too drunk to drive. It's nice that there's still a beach you can do that at.

Check this out guys. Yes, its SFW

I'm chasing a BS in Cul & Food service management.
and yeah the surrounding area isn't that sketchy. I mean it's still sketch at times, but it's not horribly bad.
Biscayne commons Was completely renovated in '11 so it's the nicest dorms there, it's a toss up between Lakeside and flamingo for the not so great dorms, But flamingo isn't that bad.
Nah the asylum is currently being torn down by publix, they're completely removing the building and some of the unused business spaces inside the plaza, and shifting the store closer to arch creek field (from what i've heard)
When I left around 3 weeks ago the Asylum was nearly demolished.
and lol That doesn't happen anymore, Publix has quite a few cameras in the back now, and cops are around there frequently. Aside from the cops, Safety and security roam the campus nearly every hour.

In the fall they're making Lakeside a non-dry dorm.
Meaning alcohol can be kept there, Lakeside only but you have to be 21 and older.

they also blocked traffic between the main building and the back of publix. They made it into a stone road, with no access to traffic. (it's called the catwalk now btw)

They also just finished renovating the front of the main building.
ALOT is changing with the miami campus, I just started and I know 4 years from now it will hardly look the same

*edit, the gas station on 125th/Us-1 Is still sketch at night.
LOL

There's a Cadillac dealer within near walking distance of my apartment, and every time I drive past I notice a few ATSs and CTSs along the road. I decided to stop by and look at some of the cars up close yesterday (after the dealer was closed) with the prospect of returning for a test drive later.

EVERY SINGLE ATS ON THE LOT IS ALL WHEEL DRIVE.

This @#$%ing town.

[nissangirl74]

That moment when you realize that if you don't go through the picture files on your computer and delete some stuff, that you will have ZERO memory left. Yeah, I'm there.

[float_6969]

You're looking at it wrong Bex. That means you need a bigger hard drive! LOL.

I was thinking about this yesterday when my wife was having to delete photo's off of her phone (we have a new baby as you know) and her phone is full. I remember when my great grandmother died years ago, we had to go through all of her old stuff and divide it up/get rid of it/etc. She had A LOT of pictures. Even my grandma (her daughter) didn't know who most of these people were. It took FOREVER to go through all of them.

Now imagine what it will be like when we're old and our kids have to go through our 50 Terabytes of pictures to figure out what's worth keeping/throwing away. Crazy stuff.

[Kompresshun]

I just added another 1TB drive to the desktop at home for media storage alone. I keep all of my photos on the main 1TB drive, then I have them backed up to a 640GB external drive. Combined between all of my hard drives connected to the computer I have just over 3TB and i'm starting to wish that I would've bought an even bigger drive this time. I do clean up photos and media from time to time, but unless the photo looks bad or is blurry, I never get rid of them.

I spent a whole afternoon a couple of weeks ago cleaning up all of my music and getting rid of duplicates. I found out that I had nearly 15GB of duplicate MP3's

[Dattebayo]

Duplicates are bad? I have tertiary backups for everything. Never give yourself the reason to ever have to download or lose what you already have again.
This is probably why I have the barest minimum of Apple products.

that's gonna be a helluva job. me alone, i have 1000s of images saved

Awesome man, glad you're going beyond the AS. You can do a good bit with it, but having a BS is worth it, even if it costs as much as half of a freggin' house. I've still got 4 years on my 3rd and 4th year of loans; I went Culinary Nutrition.

Biscayne was such a dump- rats, fire ants, spiders, and once a water moccasin in the pool. You name it, that s*** hole had it.
Too bad the asylum was torn down. Some friends and I worked on the door in the alley for two days before being able to open it up enough to squeeze in. Once inside, it was awesome. You couldn't go straight up the stair well to each floor. You'd have to go up a floor, walk all the way across it, up and floor, and repeat until you reached the roof. It was creepy. Each floor was like a maze (probably so as to confuse the crazies) and some rooms were locked. A chick with us pried off the electro shock therapy room sign.
So that stone road you're talking about- you mean the one RIGHT in front of the school, or the one from the side of the Publix into the school parking lot?

Outside grounds ecurity was a joke when I was there. A non-existent joke. We used to push the blue light and time them. A serious 7-8 minutes would go by before some jerkoff finished his coffee & snack cakes and hopped into the golf cart. There were routinely two known drug dealers from the sketchy neighborhood on the front steps.

So will Lakeside become a 21+ dorm, or is alcohol only allowed for the folks 21+? THAT place had some security. We used to stash booze in the ceiling in the middle of the living room where it was less likely to be searched/found. Threw a couch off the balcony there when moving out, too. Was pretty awesome to see it soar 4 floors down.

Also, good thing that gas station is still sketchy; they used to sell me beer at 17. FWIW so did the Walgreens. ~80% of the time. The hotel across the street used to be a Holiday Inn which was equally sketchy and totally allowed under aged drinking and didn't check a single id.

Are Chef Hensley, Chef Barber, LaCastra, and Wenninger still there? Those guys are the s***. LaCastra used to be Burt Reynolds private chef. He had some awesome stories if you were a good student and did DVC functions with him.

Lazar is the worst Jew ever, period. He'll dip pork fat into chocolate melted on the portable burner during class.

Wenninger has FANTASTIC taste in beer. Ask him what he thinks about American beer sometime for a laugh (assuming you like beer).

Barber was the best instructor I had there.

Hensley is the nicest older guy ever (outside of class). Get on his good side with extra events.

Bergman and Brandenberg are fantastic people to know if you need extra money and want more experience. They both have very lucrative businesses and pay decently. Save a clean coat for Beandenbergs class, that's no joke. And touch everything you can while in there and ask for more to do.

Granted, my info is ~10 years old now (and I'll be surprised of any of them are still there), but participate in EVERYTHING (DVC's, open houses, extra events, etc etc) that you can get your hands on while you're there. You'll get the most of out that insanely expensive education that you're paying for, and you'll also get on every instructors good side in a memorable way. Culinary school rocks, man.

[TurboSauce]

In a s*** turn of events, I believe my clutch exploded today.
Oh Joyous occasion.

The stone road is the one right in front of the school, stretching from where flamingo is to the bookstore, past the library.




Anyone can still live in lakeside, but you have to be 21 and over to 'have alcohol'

The hotel is now a best western.

The walgreens actually id's now. ( i think the constant police patrols around the plaza has something to do with that)

The gas station more than likely will still sell alcohol to minors, but everyone mainly goes to mario's.

Chef Barber, and LaCastra are still there, I haven't had any labs with any chefs yet but I do hear they are awesome.

I've also never had a beer.
Doesn't really interest me.
Vodka does though, I think I'm russian. LOOL

In my head If i'm going to drink it's to be to get f*** up. no other reason.
Which is why I don't drink.
I started in the spring tri and over the enter tri I consumed once.

Not really my thing but I wont pass up the opportunity to learn.

I just added another 1TB drive to the desktop

I just use a 1TB external. Works like a champ and is great to back-up multiple PCs.

Morning peeps!

[frapjap]

Morning fellas.
Blew a coupler off the intercooler on the way home Friday, scared the s*** out of me. After assessing that nothing was wrong, I began to wonder how the hell I ever drove that car without boost.

[Kompresshun]

Mornin' everybody!

I just use a 1TB external. Works like a champ and is great to back-up multiple PCs.

Oh i've got two external drives, one 640GB and one 500GB. I wanted internal because they're cheaper and they're faster. Since it's solely a media drive, i'm not dealing with an external. External drive over USB doesn't do well with streaming HD TV or movies, especially over WiFi or remotely.

Speaking of space- whats a good thing to send to someone to bomb their inbox with a huge file while not looking too obvious?
