on March 6, 2023 2:11 pm

Are you a collector for any sort of hobby? If you collect multiple sorts of things, I would love to know your largest collection and the collection you are most proud of

I don't really intentionally collect things for the sake of collecting. That said I've got quite a few classic video games.

What advice would you give to someone who struggles with professors who might be perceived as far less than great? (Note: Its day 2 and I can already tell that you actually care about teaching and seem to be quite good at it. Thus, the contents of this question don’t apply towards you.)
Also, will you be teaching the microcontrollers class next year? I sure hope so…

If you had no budget what car would you purchase?
Shanereplied:
on January 11, 2023 6:35 pm
Honestly I first interpreted this question as if no budget meant no money available. For that interpretation, I'd say a pretend Bat Mobile. But if money was no object, I'd get an Alfa Romeo 4C. I rode passenger in one of them before at Chelsey Proving Grounds and that car was fire.

A Strangerasked:
on January 11, 2023 4:15 pm
If you were given the opportunity to take a one-way trip to Mars in an effort to establish a colony there, would you take it? You would not be able to return to Earth but could keep in contact with it.
To give another perspective, would you if you go if you could take family with you?
Shanereplied:
on January 11, 2023 6:40 pm
Nope. I like my 20 acres on earth too much.

How hard is this class

A Strangerasked:

Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise?
I thought not. It’s not a story the Jedi would tell you. It’s a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life… He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural

Would you rather fart every time you laugh or burp every time you cry?
Shanereplied:

Shanereplied:
on March 6, 2023 2:06 pm

Shanereplied:
on January 11, 2023 6:26 am
I want to go visit Scotland and England. I can't do it this summer because most of our discretionary income is getting dumped into home updates - but maybe next year?
A Strangerasked:

What’s your most played game on steam?
Shanereplied:
on January 11, 2023 7:03 am
The answer to this question is misleading. I have 500 hours in Microsoft Flight Simulator. But it's only because the download was huge, and it has to be done with the game launched. When I purchased the game I had super slow internet, and I had to download it over the course of a month. The "runner up" is Albion Online with 70 hours.

What is your favorite animated movie?

Do you like the snow or just put up with it?
Shanereplied:
on January 10, 2023 7:19 pm
I like the snow until we get a 55 deg day on March. Then it gets cold and dreary again, at which point I am over the snow. But I really do enjoy pushing around and tending snow with my tractor. It's nice to have a closed ended task that I can definitively say "Alright it's done"

Favorite RHCP/Frusciante song?
Shanereplied:
on January 10, 2023 4:27 pm
Favorite RHCP Song - Venice Queen. Though Heavy Wing has some mad energy when played live that is undeniable. Favorite Frusciante Song - Unchanging, I like the unconventional song structure, it feels like a poem. I relate to the lyrics and quite dig the solo.
