I actually haven't had one of those yet but I understand they're pretty common and often it's a scummy move by the professor to push books.

I haven't seen a whole lot of that but you have to be careful about required book lists whether the professor's written them or not. I've bought a few books that never ended up being used for the class. You can usually go a week or two without buying any of the books to feel it out.

Also definitely look up the "International Edition" for everything on the list. They're usually softcover, black and white editions of textbooks intended for sale in poorer countries and they come with a sticker that says "Not for sale in the US" (lol gently caress you). You can save a ton of money buying those, but keep in mind that engineering textbooks will have everything translated to metric units instead of imperial.

Also just torrenting PDF versions of textbooks has saved me a few hundred dollars

I haven't used anything but metric for scientific applications. Outside of civil engineering or construction related poo poo you're going to see metric in STEM.

all of my aerospace textbooks favored imperial (loving lbm and lbf is retarded), but stuff that isn't tied to a century or more of US manufacturing legacy is going to use metric. one of the things i'm grateful for with my degree is that i'm pretty proficient in both.

Actually though, I think I'd start looking at something like a used Fusion. They're pretty good on gas, and they'll have more useful room and probably better options for the price. It's probably a little more fun to drive than any Camry or most Accords, too. I'd stay away from a used VW, personally. I don't think I know anyone who's bought a VW in the last 10 years that hasn't regretted it within 6 months or so because they're steaming piles of poo poo.

The used Fusion market was poo poo in my area, for whatever reason the 2nd gen ones hadn't dropped much in value compared to the new models. 20,000 got me a new 2014, but I didn't bother going for the new ecoboost engine that gets slightly better gas mileage.

$20,000 gets you well out of "shitbox" territory unless you're asking AI or something. I'd look for a used Focus ST because I hear those are fun as poo poo to drive and Minis look gay as all hell.

My Audi is pushing eight years old and the only non-scheduled-maintenance repair has been a window regulator that went bad. I haven't broke 40k miles though, and I still wouldn't recommend a Volkswagen product or probably buy another one.

If you're bitching that a 10+ year old car that probably has six-figure mileage needs non-trivial work, or that your total ownership cost for an aging vehicle isn't nothing, you're being silly. This is one hell of an enlisted conversation about cars, too

My Impala had 60,000 miles on it and needed a transmission and steering linkage rebuild. It was 12 years old but gently caress me I expected to just be replacing seals and belts with that kind of mileage on it. God drat thing.

I like how D&D says that Al Qaeda won because its aims were to financially bankrupt the US with a massive war, when in reality it turns out the US can blow trillions without stumbling and what really hurt us was a mortgage crisis

Also people have a real hard time seeing through statements like "Oh, the US is bombing the poo poo out of our senior leaders and weapons systems? That's exactly what we wanted them to do". Pretending every setback is part of your Master Plan is like Rule #1 of how to get hosed in the rear end without having everyone desert you immediately.

Hi,

You could use the name of an object and a cat name together like in the book Tail chaser's Song or Warriors. I have a cat named Mud fur, and it is really fitting for the girl (she has black splotches on her white fur). You could name him or her:

Brambleclaw
Bramblethorn

other examples could be: dapple, spotted, pelt, fur, tooth, ear, etc. The best part of these kinds of names is that they are interchangable.
