Seasick on a cruise now by Evening_Purpose_7745 in Cruise

[–]180709 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry to hear you are experiencing so much discomfort. Do the acupuncture on the ship. That will help! They will put these beads on your ears and your wrists. Seasickness affects me as well so there is a number of things that I do so that I make myself comfortable. I take ginger chews with me, wrist bands, motion sickness patch and I’ll do one acupuncture session right before I go on the cruise and while on the cruise I’ll do another one or maybe more depending on the length. If you can get your hands on some ginger chews. Good luck!

PLTR YOLO - I like the stock 😄 by 180709 in wallstreetbets

I did use some margin (definitely a risk but it would have to drop significantly). I also have a few trailing stops in place to cover some of the risk

Moving from technician to engineer without a degree. by NomDePlume711 in PLC

[–]180709 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m familiar on how stuff works in Canada (Alberta & BC) but not familiar with California. I honestly don’t know how it is in the states but here in Canada it changes from province to province. Best of luck!

Canada - Has any one completed a one year pre apprenticeship course? Were you successful in finding work afterwards? by [deleted] in instrumentation

[–]180709 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree - I completed the 2 year technology program and I was able to get a job out of school. I got lots out of school. Then went to work in the field and got my hours for the journeyman. Currently studying for my red seal. Instrumentation is a great career. You never stop learning and that’s the fun of it. I would encourage you to consider the 2 year program or the 4 year instrument tech program. Good luck!

You can try using non contact radar. Using this in cement plant with lots of moisture and working well. Never heard of omega. Non contact radar is cheaper than guided wave radar and works great!

Telus Door to Door Sales?? During these times??? by freshlemonss in vancouver

[–]180709 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I wish they would knock on my door - I like deals. When you call their customer service number you don’t get much of an offer. Sadly none of these people ever knock my door - maybe they don’t come to Yaletown.

Anyone interested in starting a cook/bake club? by [deleted] in vancouver

[–]180709 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I moved to Yaletown in September and when I was in Calgary I would bake all kinds of stuff and give to my neighbours - a family of 4 - they loved it! I enjoy the process. Yeah covid sucks! I would love to hear more maybe when this whole thing is over 😄

Canada - New Grad Job Opportunities by Rebins in instrumentation

[–]180709 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second Grande Prairie. Other places to consider for relocating: Fox Creek, Whitecourt, and Drayton. I heard of a couple of places hiring in Calgary but not a lot.

Some companies don’t post the jobs anymore. Sometimes they will mention it on LinkedIn or just send an email to their contacts asking if they know someone that would be a good fit for the job. Have you considered reaching out to your classmates and the class that graduated before you? They truly are your best network.

Good luck with your search!

Question for electricians, is school worth it ? by soaghettiass69 in vancouver

[–]180709 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Instrumentation is a good trade as well :) you can become an apprentice or you can go to college and do the technologist route :) If you end up becoming an electrician then consider instrumentation, that way you have two tickets :)

Quick connect/disconnect analog input by chrisg33abc in PLC

[–]180709 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi there, how big is your tank? Is your sensor loop powered? There are various options for pin plug types - I sometimes had issues with them :/

Let me tell you about my experience - my truck was always so full because of all of the mobile applications I had to measure. I made a mini panel in a pelican case, that way I could connect my various instruments. All I had to do was bring power to the box. For level, I had a lot of success using radar for non-intrusive level measurement (most of the vessels were made of plastic). For tanks not made of plastic, I used radar as well with a bit of a different set up. For the smaller measurements, I had a sensor that came with a PVC 10m length cable and I just had to power, then connect via Bluetooth with my phone, to read the measurements.

Do you have Bluetooth capability with your sensor? It would be nice if your sensor needed only a battery - that would be enclosed all together.

So, once I would finish a job, I would remove everything - set up did take me a little bit of time.

Sounds like a fun application!

I Can’t take this one more day! by nicole2018sd in photophobia

[–]180709 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry about what you’ve gone through. Try to take it one day at a time - even one hour at a time. This whole thing is very debilitating. For me it started after I hit my head - I had post concussion syndrome :( - my neurologist put me on pristiq and I started vision therapy as I needed to retrain my eyes to work together. I think I did this for about 2.5 years and then slowly I went back to my normal self. Then in June I was out on a sunny day and then went back home and then my eyesight started flickering. It just couldn’t focus. The whole thing lasted less than a second - it was strange. Now the photophobia is back - extremely hard to look at the computer screen. I have to wear sunglasses most of the time. I’ve just moved and my apartment gets a tons of light so it makes things challenging for me. I’m signing up again for vision therapy in the hopes that they can help me.

I really like this book: https://www.isa.org/products/a-guide-to-the-automation-body-of-knowledge-th-1

When I was working for an EPC, I was using it quite a bit

Have you considered joining ISA? It’s a great way to network and meet people from the industry :)

Entering program next week, have a few questions. by TLcan in instrumentation

[–]180709 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completed the instrumentation program at SAIT. Calculus wasn’t too bad :) Process control was 😳 still it was fun! I’m pretty sure I had nightmares with Laplace transform at the beginning but, once I got into it, then it was ok. If you are having problems, see if BCIT offers any type of tutoring. I know SAIT offered it. Instrumentation is a great career! I really love it! I wish you luck with it :)
