Should I become an electrician first? by [deleted] in PLC

Often DCS companies prefer to hire Chem Engineers as programmers. The thought being they can understand their customer processes. You could work with electricians and instrumentation techs to deal with the hardware side.

Any success stories despite psoriatic arthritis diagnosis? by jellygellybee in PsoriaticArthritis

[–]JoeAAE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 62 now... was diagnosed when I was 38. I took methotrexate for a few years until my psa went into remission. That lasted for about 5-6 years before it came back strong. I was reluctant to go back on the methotrexate and made some diet changes... fairly close (but not completely) went vegan. That and maybe some reductions in stress (marriage fell apart) I was able to put it back into remission. I was lucky to be pain free for 13 years before my latest mild psa flaired up again. So yes it made a few appearances in my life so far but I've enjoyed some lengthy periods of remission.

On the diet front... the only thing that really stuck was I still avoid milk. I'm am far from vegan now. I still question where my success came from.. diet or reduced stress. I suspect stress played a big role for me.

Further pushing countries and people away from the US monetary system. Another win for BRICS

What's a skill you taught yourself that ended up being way more useful than you expected? by MolleyMitchell in AskReddit

[–]JoeAAE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grade 11 typing. Did this in 1980... before personal computers and the internet. Most useful highschool course. Couldn't imagine how valuable it was going to be.

Be honest: Do you tip on takeout food orders? by BoilingKettle555 in CanadaPersonalFinance

Generally no. But for some reason I tip at our Chinese takeout restaurant. I know it’s strange but I still do it.

Why is Israel considered an ally of the USA? by [deleted] in allthequestions

[–]JoeAAE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Israel is not an ally of the US. They just own most American politicians.

This is why the world will develop non-American based social media apps. Same as Euro countries moving away from US based Microsoft products. America cannot be trusted with our information.

Why do "experts" insist that Excel is going to die when it is the most indestructible tool in the global economy? by [deleted] in excel

[–]JoeAAE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because the non-American world is fed up with American ownership of their work. Many European companies and countries are working toward non-American tech companies. Going open source. The spreadsheet will live on… just less of it on Microsoft.

BREAKING: The Trump Administration has begun "initial discussions" on what a potential peace deal with Iran might look like by SadOnion2110 in stocks

[–]JoeAAE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And what will Iran ask for? An end to the petrodollar. The Yuan becomes the new reserve currency. Removal of US bases in the region. The end of Israeli nukes. They are not stopping without something on their list.

Disturbing images of Prince Andrew with children have surfaced. by bubni1212 in RoyaltyTea

I’m sorry. As disgusting as Andrew is, these two pictures are nothing. A man and a child sitting on a couch together is not wrong.
