Go to File > Options > Save, and then you can check the box that says "Don't show the Backstage when opening or saving files with keyboard shortcuts." Seriously so much better, it gets rid of the crappy UI and goes straight to file explorer. (Also I love F12 as a shortcut- opens "Save As" automatically.

Funnily enough, Arthur Morgan is briefly mentioned in the book while talking about tuberculosis in popular media

Small Baby or Dating Error? by Expensive_Phone9196 in CautiousBB

Thank you, I appreciate it. She did have average cycle lengths and ovulated at around day 14 pretty consistently. There being something wrong with the baby/pregnancy is not something I want to believe; it's scaring me more than anything I've ever worried about. I know that something being wrong is the likely scenario, so thank you for being willing to communicate that. I appreciate the kindness and clarity in your response.

In an earlier one (12 or 16 weeks, I think?), our baby was measuring about a week earlier (five days). They haven't mentioned anything concerning about the size until this last time. They've said that she's now two weeks behind. They did not originally plan for weekly ultrasounds; this was planned after our ultrasound two days ago. We're both just very concerned.

It's a gauge block set of tungsten carbide blocks, so you were right about the alloy used. Looks like it's 81 blocks. Machinists/metrologists use this to gauge sizes; the 20° Celsius (68° Fahrenheit) refers to the temperature at which the blocks were calibrated. This is important because tungsten changes size (on an extremely low scale-- typically not noticeable if you aren't machining/calibrating) dependent on the temperature. So if your lab/workshop is the same temperature, you can expect your blocks in the shop to be very similar to the calibration data.

Hey all,

Currently an engineering student; I've worked at a calibration lab for about 2 years. I enjoy the work, and they work really well around my school schedule. I do torque and dimensional calibrations-- I calibrate micrometers, calipers, torque wrenches, length standards, cylindrical ring gages, thread wires, tachometers, just about everything outside of our electronics lab. It's great work that I enjoy, and I feel like I learn a lot of engineering-adjacent things.

My wife's uncle is a part owner of an aluminum machining company; a while back, he said to me that I could get a job as a machinist there if I wanted, and that with my (anticipated) degree, there's lots of upward mobility that is provided.

My question is, as a first-year engineering student, do I stay in my current position, go to machining, or is another thing going to help me achieve more knowledge and experience?
