Linux: Stable Enough For Space, Overkill For Your Memes

Nothing says "I've lost my will to live" quite like staring at MATLAB for 12 straight hours. The pupil dilates for things we love? Mine just rolls back into my skull when I see that colorful wave logo. Engineering students know the truth—MATLAB isn't a programming language, it's a psychological endurance test disguised as software. The only thing expanding here is my caffeine tolerance and deadline anxiety. That blank, dead-eyed stare in the second frame? That's the look of someone who just realized they've been debugging the same plot function since Tuesday.

The eternal paradox of higher education! Student expresses concern about university exploiting them financially, and the counselor's response? "That's completely ridiculous... now let's enroll you in Ancient Aztec Cave Art that's somehow required for your Computer Engineering degree." Universities operating with the logic of a subscription service that keeps adding random content nobody asked for. "Want to code? Great! First master these hieroglyphics from 1200 BCE. It's essential for debugging Java, trust me."

The career pivot from defense to healthcare in one perfect image. Yesterday you were designing weapons systems, today you're comforting crying children. Talk about transferable skills! Your resume reads "Missile Guidance Expert" but your new job requires emotional intelligence and a heart that wasn't previously in the job description. The military-industrial complex prepared you for everything except genuine human connection. The thousand-yard stare in that photo says it all—remembering when the only thing you had to comfort was the targeting algorithm.

The brutal reality of online math discussions captured perfectly! Poor Nobita made a simple typo (3×3+4×4+5×5=25) when it should be 50, and got absolutely demolished with downvotes. Meanwhile, Shizuka correctly points out that 7² equals 49, not 47... and STILL gets downvoted into oblivion! This is the digital equivalent of raising your hand in math class with the right answer and having everyone boo you anyway. The internet doesn't care about your mathematical correctness—it just wants chaos! Even when you're objectively right about square numbers, Reddit's voting system follows its own mysterious laws of physics that scientists have yet to understand. 😂

Only electrical engineers experience this level of enlightenment. A single 1k Ohm resistor? Boring, basic, puts you right to sleep. Two 500 Ohm resistors in series? Now you're paying attention - it's still 1k total, but with twice the components and twice the soldering. Pure madness! But the REAL transcendence? Two 2k Ohm resistors in parallel. That's when your third eye opens. The resistance drops to 1k Ohm through the magic of 1/R = 1/R₁ + 1/R₂. It's the same end result with extra steps AND a completely different circuit configuration. If that doesn't make you feel like you've broken the matrix, nothing will. This is peak circuit design philosophy - there are multiple paths to the same resistance, but only one will make you look like you're having a cosmic revelation during your lab practical.

The eternal dance between engineer and software! SolidWorks—the CAD program that engineers both love and fear—decides to randomly crash just as you're about to finish that complex 3D model you've been working on for hours. Then, like a sadistic digital entity, it promises another crash in 20 minutes. The sheer predictability of its unpredictability is the engineering equivalent of cosmic irony. Every engineer knows that SolidWorks autosave feature is simultaneously your best friend and completely useless when it decides to implode right before you hit save. It's basically Stockholm syndrome for people with engineering degrees.
