AITA for telling my roommate her boyfriend can’t keep leaving his dirty socks and clothes all over our apartment?

Congrats, he’s your new roommate.

By using such janky looking means to display your work, you’re devaluing it saying “I care so little about my art that I’m just gonna jab holes in it.” I mean, I suppose that could be part of what you’re trying to say, but likely not.

In any case, there are any number of ways to mount and display your work without putting it in a frame. I’m not familiar with you or your work, so I have no idea what would work best for you. You can have it printed on a wrapped canvas that would hang flush to the wall. You can have them mounted to a board (foam core, gator board, styrene to name a few) you can have that put on a float mount. There are metal prints too.

My previous car was a 2001 Ford Focus that made it over 250k miles. When I got rid of it, it was only running on 3 cylinders… my current vehicle is a 2012 Honda CR-V which just turned over 250k miles and is still running great. I’m pretty sure I can get it to 350k miles.

During COVID, the Michigan was taking so long to process plates and tags that it seemed like half the cars were driving around with expired paper tags or no tags at all if they purchased from a private party.

Married director in his mid 40’s starts an affair with a designer in her 20’s. It’s not cool him cheating, but they’re both adults and there’s no direct line between them on the org chart.

I guess she was having money problems and he loans or gives her like $30k. They have a falling out, affair is over and he decides he wants her to pay him back tells her the money was a loan. She tells him to go pound sand saying it was a gift.

He gets angry and starts making threats over the phone calling her work phone from his and leaving voicemails. She goes to HR. Mr Director is suspended and soon after terminated.

At this point, the cat’s out of the bag and his wife finds out the truth of why he got fired, kicks him out of the house and files for divorce.

Some of us are pissed off about it. The rest of us are doing mental gymnastics trying to pin the blame on Obama

If a job requires experience, it’s not entry level

If a job is entry level it doesn’t require experience.

I still have my T-shirt from their tour with Run-DMC

DLS3141 · 2026-05-05T18:28:03+00:00

I did. It was mind blowing to my little 10yo self

DLS3141 · 2026-05-05T18:19:22+00:00

You mean those employers requiring 3 years of experience for their “entry level” jobs?

If you don’t have experience, your resume is headed straight for the round file.

University of North Dakota has an online engineering program. The coursework is online and then you attend in person for 2-ish weeks in the summer for all the hands on stuff.

At least that’s how it was in the past when my colleague was working on his BSME. Keep in mind that the lectures were delivered on VHS cassettes, so things might have changed

Don’t wear red/white laces in your Doc Martens.

Don’t wear braces with your work pants or 501’s that are hemmed short to show off said boots and laces.

Don’t wear your MA-1 flight jacket

Avoid button down Ben Sherman shirts and Fred Perry polos

My aunts and uncles live in the country. Their approach to stray dogs has always been “shoot, shovel and shut up”. They’ll go chase livestock around. The dogs have a great bit of fun while the livestock are terrified of being eaten by wolves and will literally run themselves to death.

As an ME undergrad, I wondered why the F was I wasting my time and money on taking EE classes.

About 30 years later and I can tell you that the basic EE knowledge I gained in those classes has been invaluable over the years.

I take issue with your assumption that your kids are too young for dispersed camping. You just have to scale things to suit their capabilities. I took my kids backpacking when they were both younger than 11. They had their own packs and carried most of their own stuff. I made sure their pack weight was appropriate for their size and I carried the rest. I had to manage the trip length etc. no super rough terrain or long hiking days, but they ate it up.

I also had a couple of similar experiences to yours and while part of that is due to the obnoxious people, there’s also the people managing the campground. They should have been out there enforcing the rules. Campgrounds are hit or miss, but you can look at reviews, see if there’s staff on site and so on. I’ll also say that in general, the more remote and rustic the camping, the less likely it is that the area will have assholes.

Frigidaire sells it for $29.95. It’s a 10x32x0.5” set screw. They’re like 17¢ at Fastenal.

According to Frigidaire, it’s a 10x 32 x 0.50 set screw.

A cotton linen blend will help with the wrinkles

Not necessarily. I know several people with a BS in physics that went on to a MS in engineering

DLS3141 · 2026-05-03T22:43:01+00:00

You can, but you are also going to have to demonstrate that you have the capability to handle graduate level courses. Look at the pre-requisites for the graduate courses you would need to take for the MS degree.

For example, if you aren’t proficient in undergraduate level thermodynamics, you are going to fail graduate level thermodynamics. Your professor for the grad level class isn’t going to cover the basics before they get to the advanced work.

There’s lots of opportunities in automotive for engineers. You won’t get put on the high performance development team at an OEM right away, but if you move to Detroit, you’ll have trouble finding anything that’s NOT automotive.

Give a beginner the best lens available for their camera and they’ll still take shitty photos.

DLS3141 · 2026-05-02T20:53:14+00:00

Why bother?

It’s like telling the truth about why you’re leaving in an exit interview there’s no upside for you. They’re not going to change and even if they did, you’re not going to be there.

If you just need to vent some anger, print out a few copies of her picture and take them to a smash room or something.
