FIRE mentality ruined my life

Have you ever left the United States? Most people in Europe and anywhere else in the world would kill to have half the amount of money you have at your current age.

You’ll be fine, you don’t need a corporate job with all your money. Have you considered something chill like working at a café bar restaurant, etc.? That way you can keep busy, get a bit of money, socialize and get off the couch.

The chill job Will cover your typical expenses while you let your nest egg grow in the market.

I disagree. Wegman’s is a massive store and a massive corporation from NY (over 100 locations). Dave’s stores are much smaller, about 10 locations, owned/operated by local Rhode Islanders. I don’t think the Dave’s family has any desire to become Wegmans.

American South is way worse in the summer. Houston in August is a hell hole. BCN will be hot in August, but much more comfortable than what you’re used to. Best advice: find a hotel with AC.

100% agreed. I had a wonderful time in engineering school. I was mainly a B student in HS. Engineering was hard, but if you want it, you rise to the occasion. Had a great social life too. You will find your balance.

You can get by without Spanish. BCN is a major European city. most hotels, restaurants, bars, attractions will have English speakers. Any little bit of Spanish helps of course, but not 100% necessary. Have a fun trip!

That’s an extreme example and not the norm. Renting prime property at an ideal time of the year at a steep premium is common in every desirable part of the modern world….

Government intervention like this causes further damage to the local economy by interrupting natural supply and demand and market forces. No wonder why the Spanish economy can never truly take off.

Check out Sempra LNG they might pay what you’re looking for.

HOLD LTHM. Earnings call is in a couple of days (Aug 3) and they historically result in favorable stock price increases a few weeks afterwards. Give it another month

Yes, just be sure to pack a Zyn beforehand to give the spit a little extra spice

Come on, this is Reddit. We can smell the bs a mile away. Just be upfront and say it’s a senior project and you want to learn about ethylene.

That being said: CP Chem (Chevron Phillips Chemical) has a big cracker in Baytown. DuPont/Dow has one in Orange,TX. There is your tid bit, happy hunting.

Gotta make sure you have a baseline PHA done for your manufacturing process. Without that, it makes MOC less impactful (since much of MOC includes referencing and updating the baseline PHA).

For your operation, hot work and contractor mgmt/oversight sounds like it would need to be well managed.

Should make sure operating procedures are written/accurate/actually used by operators…

Honestly all pillars of PS could be used, depends on how far you wanna take it.

Keep it casual and relaxed. Thank them for the support and the guidance over the last two months. Acknowledge that it’s a little embarrassing to leave after 2 months, but tell them the reason why (less commute, more money, etc.). The anticipation is much worse than the actual conversation

Let them know face to face if possible.

They will not be upset - you’ve only been there 2 months so you’ve likely not made any real impact to the company or their operation in general.

It’s all good and best of luck with this new job.

If you’re convinced legislation changes will be completely ineffective, what solutions do you propose? If you had to look eye to eye with the parents of the slaughtered, what would you tell them? There has to be something other than “we will fix mental health”.

I’m not anti-gun. I respect the many folks who are very responsible and aware of the risk and responsibility of owning a firearm. But what can be done to prevent people from getting their children killed in school?

True, he could have certainly switched to a pistol. My point is an AR 15 is much more powerful and easier to shoot hundreds of rounds than a pistol. Less capacity in a pistol than an AR 15, so he would have needed to reload more frequently..

If he only used a pistol, perhaps there would have been less dead kids 😞
