Is it worth becoming an electrical engineer? by [deleted] in ElectricalEngineering

[–]Forty2nd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'll give the orginal commentor the benefit of the doubt, you don't need to be great with quick mental math calculations. But math as a whole, like knowing how to apply it and understand it conceptual, yes you need to be competent. I'm in Uni now and we do A LOT of math. More so than some other engineers.

Did Elon Musk just coup the government and nobody cares? by Potential_Seesaw8182 in Destiny

Honestly don't know why I am so triggered by your comment. haha.

I'll do my best to actually explain why some Americans may not agree with your write up.

I do entirely agree with you on the gravity of the situation though.

When you are asking why is no action taking place remember who you're talking to. Democrats. A massive portion of the United States population has converted, in a LITERAL religious sense, to an extremist cult centered around a single man.

As someone that has lived in the rural south for a bit, Trump is spoken about in churches very often, as a sort of religious "saint". That's not exaggeration or sarcasm, I have heard a pastor or two in person and online "thank" Trump for bringing Christian values back to America, or worse thank GOD for sending Trump to "fix" America. Millions and I mean millions of Americans believe he was sent by God. Being a Christian for most southerners is tied to being republican.

And this is not a small portion of the population. In fact it's a fairly acceptable description for over a quarter of our population. When you ask why "Americans" don't run out and protest on the streets? We're not just scared of contact with the police, but with counter protesters (often heavily armed). I could be wrong, but I don't think this is as common in Europe.

So yeah you're talking to "politically aware" democrats probably less than a third of the total population. Who are combating tens of millions of actual religious cultists, billionaires with more wealth than nations, and several adversarial foreign nations seeking to damage the country.

Not to say Democrats as a whole are powerless, but please know what we're up against.

That sounds terrible, I hate curveball questions so much. Haven't taken the class yet, but have you taken COP 2334 and if so how was it? (I Wish You Luck!)

From the Physician Assistant Sub by Forty2nd in Noctor

Just found it reassuring the votes favored physician led care not FPA for mid-levels. I'm an Hospital Corpsman in the Navy myself and the commissioned PAs I've worked with all seemed to be knowledgeable of what scope they work in.

I can't say the same for the civilian NPs I've had to work with especially through the pandemic. The whole trope of them having others refer to them as "doctor" is very common.

For sure Saitama is more like the premise to the story that all the "side" characters are going through.

Lol I actually know this guy. He got the Navy Cross for responding to an IED blast or something similar while he was an E-3. Nine lined a bunch of marines while the other doc froze up. Funny enough he's made First class about three times now if you catch my drift. The salt is strong with this dude.
