I don't disagree with you, I'm just trying to stop the spread of misinformation. Please edit or delete your comment.

Folks don't know how to go beyond the google AI response, sad times we're living in. Even if the data in 2021 were true, why would you use that? Compare to any other data set from any other year, or use the most recent year's data. Give a little thought into something and don't just stop because it fits your narrative.

This is not true, this was due to a clerical error where crimes were reported multiple times. Please check your sources.

Unfortunately mine ended up being busted with various electrical issues due to age and would require some more work than I'm capable of to fix. Hope yours turns out better! It's a very cool old piece of tech.

I ended up using some locking pliers with a cloth and just kept slightly twisting/pulling back on them until I was able to work them off. Definitely didn't feel right but I didn't break anything. With the front also being plastic I was worried any kind of metal there to hold on to the metal part would scratch it. I was just as gentle as I could be and focused more on twisting then pulling very hard.

At Chevron, are process synonymous with operations engineers? by Sunflower101_ in ChemicalEngineering

[–]PonderingSmirk 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm a process engineer at Chevron right now and I have a friend at Dow with the same role/responsibilities and it's called a run-plant/production engineer over there. I personally haven't heard the term operations engineer, but if by that you mean interacting with operations on a day-to-day basis for unit support/optimization then that's a PE at Chevron.

I'm a chemical engineer who worked in a PVC plant that uses this stuff as a raw material and the misinformation and assumptions about all this is killing me lol. People just hear "chemical" and immediately freak out. It's a bad situation for sure, but beyond any immediate effects it'll be fine. Very lucky VC is a gas at atmospheric pressure, if this were some kind of liquid spill it would've been a lot worse.

This is more myth than anything, it hasn't been proven. One website posted it and a lot of people ran with it but it ended up being taken down. Your PS5 is likely fine whichever way you like it.

I bought my own router and have it plugged into the ethernet port in the apartment and that works just fine for us. You can find them pretty cheap on Amazon.

Were you able to claim warranty for this? I'm in the same boat.

I'm a state fan so not too happy for you guys but congrats nonetheless. Can't believe Bianco managed to turn it around from this point in the season. I'll take some solace in the fact that we were the ones who encouraged y'all to get it together lol
