    incredibly inconvenient

    Imagine sitting in the corner near the plug with your weird resistive heater waiting for the water to get hot. You’d probably become the laughing stock of the whole campus pretty quickly

    Also, things get pretty heavy when you have a 4 hour daily railway commute. There has been times when I didn’t take a bottle of water because it hurt my back

    So I’ll just stick to carrying grounds and buying hot water. It costs practically nothing compared to my current habit of buying coffee which is a huge hole in my budget

    It is pretty commonplace to sell hot water in my country?

    Because bringing a heater with you is hard, the places which sell tea will also fill up your cup with hot water. For a fair price usually +5TL (~0.1 cent) more compared to bottled water of the same amount.

    I can bring a heater and spend my university’s electricity for it but why would I so that when hot water is already very cheap.

    edit: I just remembered my school’s water dispensers have a hot water tap. Students drain those very quickly though so I gotta go there right after my lecture ends

    Yeah they do sell hot water.

    Currently planning to pack a french press. We’ll see how it goes, but I still want the thermos.

    Since I use Hoffman’s french press technique the only thing I do is to dump coffee in water and wait anyways. So I might cut the filter from a french press and put it inside a thermos. I could then get it set up at home and just add water™

    I am a first year student in electronics engineering.

    I loved watching fun youtube videos on math (ex. 3blue1brown) but was not fond of high school math, due to the lack of proofs and deeper understanding.

    Nowadays the stuff I used to watch for fun turned into my job and I couldn’t be happier. Finally getting to do real science feels good.

    Unlike high school math, I loved high school physics but that one was mostly due to my way of learning. Which is with lots of visualisations in my head and lots of calculus to prove the formulas they made us memorize.

    These days, even though my books give me the proof right away, I sometimes don’t look at the proof because I miss the magic of fiddling with calculus for hours to find it myself.

    I love computers but I felt like my love would diminish if I picked CS as a major. Mostly due to the monotonous nature of the job environment. But i am pretty sure my love for electronics is undying and unlike computing I have heaps to learn about electronics so I picked it.
