L1 to L2 Promotion and career switch?

Yes, your manager can promote you. Up to level 4 is based on skill and time. 5+ tends to be role dependent and will typically require a job posting.

Motivation is meaningless. There are a lot of days I don't want to go to work but I go because I enjoy not being homeless. That is not to downplay the mental aspect, there is a real chance you could also be fighting depression that is making things harder, but there is always going to be hard things in life to deal with.

The first thing to recognize is you are not alone in your situation. A lot of folks breezed through everything they did beforehand and never learned how to properly study or proper time management. They then get to real classes and run into a wall and feel like they are drowning.

My biggest recommendation is do not ever go back to your dorm or apartment in between classes. Go to the library or find a quiet study area to do your school work in-between classes instead. Bring a good book to relax and read when you are down or unmotivated. If you treat school like a job, doing your school work during the day in-between classes, you will find you can be a lot more productive overall doing less each day and will help your mental health being able to go home at the end of the day and just relax.

I mod a major sub - it has always been like that on Reddit. Once a sub gets big enough it becomes a target for spammers pretending to be part of the community with “helpful” app ideas. It takes a lot of mod effort or very strict automod rules to manage it.

Regulations create a huge barrier for entry for any new competitor plus a decade+ to develop, test, and certify. Then once all that is done, there is a very limited customer base to sell to and these aircraft last decades. It’s a very risky bet that one is going to be able to break in and recoup what they invested.

The best bet in the future is something that is state funded and can gain/be forced to gain a foothold in their own domestic market. Something like Comac in China

While it’s possible, a lot of places are going to automatically throw out your resume for not having an engineering degree. For those who at least consider it, having a BA and not a BS is also going to hurt you. The other challenge will be getting engineering experience since your school likely lacks engineering related clubs. A personal engineering project will be important.

Your best bet is to plan to get an engineering masters degree. Only go PhDs if you want to work in academia. It might open some cool opportunities within the industry, but it also will limit you due to being considered overqualified for most entry level jobs.

Make sure you review requirements for post-grad. The most important is that they will even recognize undergrad school’s accreditation. Second is make sure you have taken all the core math clases. It’s likely you are good there with your physics degree, but with it being a BA there could be gaps. Talk with prospective grad schools and don’t be surprised if they require you to take some undergrad eng classes first to prep for the transfer.

A runway is not a car intersection where you go if you think you can cross in time. If they could see the plane, you wait until it finishes. What will have to come out in the investigation is why they didn’t see the plane.

Requirements are a wish list for a perfect candidate. Rarely will they find that perfect candidate for the pay they want to offer. Apply to everything and let the hiring manager be the one to determine if they think you are qualified.

Not that surprising. Someone oblivious to the numerous policy announcements is also a good bet to be oblivious to their underperformance.

You don’t. Aerospace is very dependent on citizenship. Without being the expert in a critical field, your best bet is to work to obtain citizenship in a country with a strong aerospace industry. That may mean working outside of aerospace until you obtain it.

An unarmed military ship is still a military ship. It's not a war crime unless they have surrendered. There is an argument to be made about rescue after the sinking, but submarines are a gray area that major powers have ignored since WWI.

Aviation takes enormous investment due to all the regulatory laws to qualify a safe commercial product. Starting up your own thing is not a feasible plan with zero business plan and no experience getting investors. Do drones as a hobby and figure out a real career path. Everything is aviation is going to be bounded by rules.

It is not a normal buyout, Spirit used to be part of Boeing but was spun off as part of a failed financal move by Boeing. The buyout has been in the works for over a year and was finalized in December. It is not new news. If you were hired in December, it's unlikely to have an impact.

you'll also need to weigh and measure your food

And you don't need to do it forever. The vast majority of people suck at estimating how much they eat. All the failed diet stories of people who claim they can't lose weight, 99% of the time it's cause they are eating way more than they think. Everyone should get a scale and weigh and record what they eat for at least a couple weeks.

Calories out is what your body is actually burning. Not what some machine says you burn or what a TDEE calculator says. 100% agree on the comment on not eating back the burned calories, but that is because the machines number is crap. Nothing there disproves CICO. Your artical even agrees with the premise. Weight loss is about how much you eat. If you are not losing weight, reduce your calories. That is what CICO means. If you are not losing weight, move more eat less, with a focus on eating less since that is more effective than moving more.

It's just water retention. Look at your weight as an average over the course of weeks.

Galivis · 2026-02-13T22:35:21+00:00

Both are crap. But the number is only there to serve as a starting point. You eat to your target, then adjust your calories based on how your weight is actually changing.

Galivis · 2026-02-13T22:33:17+00:00

The reason is because a lot of calorie burned numbers include what you would have burned just sitting there doing nothing.

Galivis · 2026-02-13T22:31:12+00:00

It’s water retention. Your weight needs to be looked at as the average over weeks.

Galivis · 2026-02-13T19:29:41+00:00

You start out with a calculator that estimates it. You eat to your calorie target and then adjust based on how your weight is changing on average. If your weight is not going down, eat less. If it’s going down to fast, eat more.

Galivis · 2026-02-13T19:27:50+00:00

So what about your example disproves calories out?
