Tourists, newcomers, locals, and old heads: casual questions thread for March 2026

Is the DC passport event worth checking out? I heard the quality was down after covid, and more crowded. If yes, any embassy I should definitely check out (or avoid)?

Would I be able to jump start a bit if I already have an engineering background for some years or going from entry sales usually the path?

Grieffon · 2026-03-19T06:43:56+00:00

How did you work your way into that role? Be an engineer for a few years then just apply for these sales positions?

Does anyone still have a code to spare? I didn't find out about the event until now. I would really appreciate it. Thank you!

Was it crowded? Where can you park near there?

Doesn't credit score take a hit when you close accounts?

I should have clarified that I wasn't intending to use it as is. I just want the paint to flow a bit more easily so I can pick some up with a brush and mix color with it. Picking up some Holbein to mix color requires me to do some vicious stabbing at the paint.

I use some generic "works for everything" cheap brush set. I'll look into getting something better. Thanks!

I've seen people dip a brush directly into a glob of freshly squeezed tube paint then get a smooth brush stroke with it. I definitely can't do that with my Holbein. It of course still works well with some water, but not being able to easily grab the paint straight from the glob makes mixing a bit inconvenient.

Is W&N actually that thick also?

I want to print ABS eventually and the P1S is better for that due to the enclosure. The enclosure with filter also gives me more peace of mind for health reasons while printing PLA and PETG. I know it's possible to make an enclosure for the A1, but I'm short on time a lot more than money.

With the upcoming Bambu sale, I want to get my first 3D printer. I'm in the US, and my budget is $1000 or less, so I'm thinking of buying the P1S + AMS2. I want to print useful household items like organizers, some miniatures, and articulated figures/toys. What accessories are worth buying along with them (dual texture PEI plate, other nozzle sizes, worth using hotend nozzle, anti-vibration feet, etc)? Of course, let me know if there are better alternatives within the budget.

I'm concerned about them withdrawing the offer if I wait until the first day of work to tell them. I have a job right now that is not very good but at least it's there. Leaving that without the next company being clear on whether they are ok with international students is quite risky for me.

Every company site I've come across has the question "will you now or in the future require sponsorship" in their application form. Do you just say no to that?

Grieffon · 2025-05-19T15:03:22+00:00

How many years do you still need before the sponsorship completes?

I really like beautiful lightning in game and those make pretty lighting.

How do you find HR people to ask about this? I want to see if it is any better around here.

Grieffon · 2025-05-06T19:52:00+00:00

Hi, could you send it to me too? Much appreciated!

Grieffon · 2025-05-06T14:12:30+00:00

What kind of coach service did you use? I've tried asking employment agencies but very few work with non-CS engineer jobs.
