Unsure of where to post this but is the EUR-ACE Accreditation worth it? (beehaw.org)
 

I'm trying to think where this post fits on Beehaw so I'll try here. I recently flunked out of my physics degree but my university gives me the chance to go to another program and try my luck there, I was thinking of going for an aeronautic engineering degree (I think this is the correct translation in English) and among their international accreditations they have this thing called the EUR-ACE program and it SEEMS like a good thing but to be honest this is my first time going for anything engineering related so I'm actually unsure of it's worth.

Anyone knows anything about this? I'm already researching on it but I think some opinions from people that are more familiar with this could be worth hearing.

Could the 2020s be the decade of decentralized social media? (beehaw.org)
 

So last decade was filled with corporate social media: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Reddit, etc. And I mean it still is but perhaps if we play our cards right we can make 2020 the age of decentralized social media? Maybe we won’t end up being the top 5 pages on the internet but we just have to grab a good portion of people to compete more directly with the big corpos. Descripción

They've been doing this for a long time now. Thanks for the info my friend I will make sure to spread that page around and make sure everyone knows about this dirty tactic that big corpos use to kill competition.

Drinkers, what is your preferred alcoholic beverage? in c/chat@beehaw.org
[–] Cowbob45@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

I really like this drink called Rompope, it's popular here in Mexico but I prefer to not drink so much so it's more of a drink every once in some months.

You guys need to know of Louis Remme's race against a steamship to withdraw his money from a bank! (www.lrgaf.org)
 

I just read this amazing account of a man who had deposited $12,500 dollars worth of gold on a bank in Sacramento only to realize later in the day that the bank had declared bankruptcy! Looking for a solution he realized that a branch of the bank in Portland hadn't heard the news yet if he could get there before a steamship carrying the message arrived at Portland he could potentially get his money back!

You guys need to read the story, it has all of the wild west drama you could want.

When was the last time you thought about the game? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

how’s your week going, Beehaw in c/chat@beehaw.org
[–] Cowbob45@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks for the kind words stranger, your story rings so many bells to me too, I basically cried internally once I knew it was all over and then to my family, I am thankful that I have a lot of support at home so I was able to process it in peace.

I have been placing a lot of pressure on myself for this but it's in the past all I can do is learn from it and do better which is what I am planning to do.

I hope you find a lot of success in your life my friend! Thank you for your words.

Thanks my friend, not gonna lie I actually cried, I thought I had it I studied hard for the final exam but it still wasn't enough. Whatever it is I enter next I'll make sure to change my studying habits.

What's your favorite internet "oldie"? in c/chat@beehaw.org
[–] Cowbob45@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I was a kid in the 2000's so for me the oldies were playing the flash games on cartoon network, miniclip and armor games. My first real exposure to social media was YouTube 2006-2008 somewhere around there watching Smosh and whatever crap was there back in the day.

What subreddits would you like to see replicated on the Fediverse? in c/chat@beehaw.org
[–] Cowbob45@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I want to know what do you guys think of national/local subreddits? I found it pretty interesting to see the different national subs on Reddit like the German one or the swedish one or the french one, I found that my own nation's sub would sometimes give me information about something before it hit the local news.
