You did it, you made me leave my cave to explore this cave, I am gonna lurk as necessary before contributing, but I did want to give props to the ad lad responsible for this masterpiece.
I'm going to start university this year (Engineering). I'll be 32 next month.
I've been working minimum wage jobs for 14 years since finishing high school.
Never really bothered climbing the ladder, never felt the urge to do more than what was strictly necessary to survive.
Last year I finally decided to do something different and ended up signing up for a student loan.
I'm scared shitless because my classmates will be one generation younger than me, I have no idea how am I supposed to pay the debt back, I don't remember anything I studied back in high school.
But I also can't wait to start. I want to believe that some of my classmates won't ostracize me for being old and maybe I'll make a few friends. I want to believe that I'm going to enjoy studying until late at night and hopefully get good grades. I feel some of my youth coming back.
What worries me most is that I'll be 36 or 37 when I graduate. Will employers be willing to employ an old guy whose only work experience has been things like fast food chains or convenience stores?
Am I going to be fine?
I started my course in Mathematics this present semester 2022 with the two goals of transferring to a 4-year university and then doing a Ph.D in Mathematics right after. Then trying the whole unsolved problems Mathematics list on Wikipedia besides teaching. It will take me 8 years with self-study in the summers. The plan looks fine and I know I can do it. But I'm off to a rough start. I have been doing bad in US History to 1877, a state university required course, and Pre-Calculus 1 itself. I might get B's, if not C's themselves. I'm taking 2 other classes. I was sick with Co-Vid 2 times in a row and missed study sessions. So far I've decided on the study system of drinking 5-7 cups of hot black coffee and spending 10 hours of preparation for each class. Will I be OK with this? The 6 cups of hot black coffee and 10 hours per class enough over kill? Another thing is my age. I'm 29 years old and I only started recently because I suffered 12 years of poorly treated schizophrenia. But now I take heavy doses of Zyprexa which makes the voices and delusions go away.
ok /mg/ didnt reply but i just thought that since robotics and simulation are now around and strandbeest exists
i just thought there is "definitely" ways to model locomotion cycle's limb trajectory correctly while factoring enough physics from weight, gravity, and attitude and intention? i dunno, could be wrong
just clarify this issue and how to best tackle it in theoretical works like, on paper, literally.
otherwise it ll look like a grotesque after images
i found stuff but im not sure myself and i dont know how to doublechec it either
