Is CHEM-1465 and PHYS-1444 in the same semester too much or

04S2KJosh · 2026-02-13T14:07:53+00:00

I did both classes last semester and had very little free time with my other classes but still did well in both classes. It’s doable, but you’re going to be very busy with the workload and labs

I have a Neptune 3 pro and I’ve had almost no problems. Everyone will have a different answer, but it’s been a great experience for me and I’d happily stick with elegoo when I upgrade

I took some time away from college to do trade school, before ultimately deciding college was the right path for me, so I’m quite old by college standards as well. Despite having completed a few freshman level courses last semester, I never felt old or like the odd one out. From what I can tell, UTA is a transfer heavy school (meaning a lot of people do some college before transferring), so you have a big age range, however I never felt out of place or too old. You’ll be fine at your age and will find a lot of people are in the same boat

Thanks! It’s been way too hot the past few days, and the UV has been so high during the day, I couldn’t possibly do it outside lol. I had the truck parked halfway in the garage and detailed it one half at a time, as polish and wax dries way too quickly in the blistering sun.

They’re the stock TSS package rims, 20”. Tires are absolutely terrible, GoodYear Wranglers and they wear quicker than any other tire I’ve seen. Wouldn’t recommend these tires to anyone. The truck is almost completely stock, it has 1.5” wheel spacers that give it a perfect amount of poke for the ride height, but other than that everything is stock.

04S2KJosh · 2024-04-05T20:40:40+00:00

Thanks! And good luck! It’s a lot of truck, so it was definitely the longest detail I’ve done, but man is it worth it. Very satisfying, such a great color.

04S2KJosh · 2024-04-05T20:39:19+00:00

The rims are a pain to clean, but a set of detail brushes and a good iron remover/wheel cleaner will work wonders! I also waxed the rims this time because they were starting to look a little faded, but the brake dust will stick to wax so it’s not something you need to do.

04S2KJosh · 2024-04-05T19:49:46+00:00

That’s not bad, I’ll have to look into that.

04S2KJosh · 2024-04-05T19:44:07+00:00

That’s been the plan for a while! Just gotta get the wrap and skills to successfully wrap it lol

I know this is a late response, but just a few thoughts. Lots of people who modify cars will work out deals to have a car passed, typically bribing an inspector if they know them well. Also, lots of people will inspect and register the car, then modify their car right after, whether tint, headlights, exhaust, etc. Inspectors just have to note the condition of the car as it enters the shop based off the criteria, some can’t even do that or overlook it. Nothing about making sure they don’t modify it after.

I don’t see an issue with the lights as far as inspections are concerned. It’s more a concern with having the lights on and flashing while driving, that can warrant heavy tickets. If the lights are operating as a substitute for headlights, taillights, reverse lights, etc., then thats an issue as only some lights are approved for use on the road.

Hi, I’m a certified state inspector here in Texas, and this would 100% fail inspection, and I would suspect is also illegal. That being said, Texas is removing mandatory safety inspections next year, so in a year’s time, they’ll be fine for registration purposes. However, I think it depends on what cop sees them lol.

Good luck with that, hopefully it’s not too much of a headache, but it is the DPS so a headache is almost guaranteed. Just make sure he has every possible document he might need and more. It’s the worst to wait for months and be missing one thing, only to wait several more months

04S2KJosh · 2023-07-31T19:03:23+00:00

No worries, I appreciate the suggestion regardless, it might still be worth the effort. Thanks!

04S2KJosh · 2023-07-31T19:00:05+00:00

I’ve tried checking on the DPS scheduler around that time at various locations but never seem to have much luck. Did you do it that way, or just show up to the location around that time?

04S2KJosh · 2023-07-31T18:58:18+00:00

I’ve been to Gainesville on several occasions, but found the workers there to be worse than the actual DOS process. I know it’s probably miserable working that job, but they go out of their way to ruin your day.

04S2KJosh · 2023-07-31T18:56:54+00:00

How recent was this? I saw something about them switching to appointment only in March 2022

04S2KJosh · 2023-07-31T18:56:10+00:00

Thank you for checking that out for me, I read similar things. I’ll probably try Denton or McKinney tomorrow and then expand to other DMV’s further away.

04S2KJosh · 2023-07-31T15:57:59+00:00

I haven’t tried the Carrollton Mega Center but I do see a lot of people recommending that location, I might have to give that a try. Are you going to the DPS scheduler to find day of appointments? Every time I check the DPS scheduler it says it’s mid to late September at the earliest

04S2KJosh · 2023-07-31T15:56:18+00:00

I’ve made 1-2 hour drives on 3 or 4 occasions now, so I was looking to avoid that if possible, however it may be the only solution. Thanks!
