got it . thanks again . I wasn ' t entirely sure what all hot swap does . sounds like it is just a stability buff which the PB roll already has . <| sep |> Good advice , but the last part about programming is totally wrong . If you want to do CS , you should do CS now , learn a bit , see if you like it , and come in to school with the advantage of having started . Putting off learning any CS until your sitting in CS 61 A totally lost is a huge mistake . <| sep |> i would love to apply but i know i ' m inadequate . <| sep |> I have been training hard for about a year and am very lean for a female to the point that folks think I ' m training for a fitness comp . I watch cal . and macros very closely . However as this is a long term lifestyle for me , I am not giving up everything such as alcohol . I do however swear that shots are the best way to go when honestly and accurately counting macros . More bang for your buck , and you feel it quicker . I do not drink any wine , sulfites make me feel sick , and one night a week I drink half a yummy craft beer . Otherwise , I just take shots of tequila . I feel much better drinking this way and am less stressed about over doing it calorically .
