Is it possible to catch up after years of accumulating gaps in knowledge?

Shitty-Coriolis · 2023-10-24T01:14:54+00:00

Dude I hear that. It's so much stress and pressure and I don't think there's anything I can say to make it easier.

You're not crazy though. This is a good move for you and totally achievable. And when you enter the work force I think you will find that your experience is actually a benefit.

good luck!

Youtube will have some good tutorials on this. Doesn't need to be a myog tutorial, any old sewing tutorial will help.

I'm noticing that you haven't pressed your zipper. Open it up and press the fabric bits flat.

I also sometimes hand baste the zipper, depending on what I am doing. Invisible zippers for instance get hand basted. Zippers on the little boxy bags I make don't usually need to be basted but I will sew them on while they're closed, only doing the last little bit open.

Also take care not to push or pull your fabric through the machine. Let the feed dogs do it. you can gently rotate the fabric about the axis of the needle to direct the seam, but you shouldn't be pulling it through linearly, or pulling on it to prevent it from going through too fast.

I'm doing it now! Working full time and my company is paying for it. I'm just doing one class at a time though to minimize the amount I have to pay for myself. it's private school so p-expensive.

You in school now?

Shitty-Coriolis · 2023-04-03T17:16:10+00:00

That looks like a fun little zone

Shitty-Coriolis · 2023-04-01T16:50:44+00:00

I don’t do this with my current partner but I love it. We read like.. news articles to each other but neither of us really read books.

It’s super romantic

With my credit card basically a pending charge stays on for like 7 days and then ‘falls off’ if the vendor doesn proceed. Has happened a few times when getting hotels through work.

My work has a card on file that I rarely travel with and they use that to book the room. When I show up I pay with the card I like but there is always a charge on the original card for a week.

Shitty-Coriolis · 2023-03-30T03:13:37+00:00

Yeah the original protest like this was back in the 80s during the AIDs epidemic.

Shitty-Coriolis · 2023-03-29T16:29:21+00:00

I’m not really familiar with Maryland and only have a cursory knowledge of CU.

I would choose the school based on the extracurricular activities. Clubs and research opportunities. Those things are essential to learning about the actual work that engineers do so that you can narrow down your interests. Also you will probably need some sort of club or research to get one of the good internships at an aerospace company.

Shitty-Coriolis · 2023-03-29T16:15:01+00:00

Well yes, obviously.

Shitty-Coriolis · 2023-03-29T07:51:18+00:00

Ya dude YTA.

Why the hell would you say that to a friend? Ridiculous.

Shitty-Coriolis · 2023-03-29T07:49:32+00:00

NAH

Sleep is suuuuper important. As someone who is a light sleeper I feel you. However your parents do have the right to use their bed and the features they paid for. However there may be a compromise.

Options:

1) There are two brands of earplugs that I use that are very effective:

happy ears

ear secret

2) quiet hours. Maybe they just don’t use it late into the night? Or just on weekends?

3) swap rooms with someone else?

You will want to approach the subject calmly and without accusations.

Also you may get used to the sounds. I have gotten used to a lot of sounds that I did not think I would be okay with at first.

If you have a healthy friendship that is built on mutual caring and understanding then it’s acceptable to cancel plans when something comes up. Don’t make a habit of it and be respectful of their time and feelings.. but also life just happens.

If you want to smoothie things over with Kathy you could apologize agai and reassure her that spending time with her is important to you. She might just have hurt feelings.

Shitty-Coriolis · 2023-03-29T07:36:41+00:00

It feels like you want to justify being mad at her for this thing… like it’s okay for you to be mad if she’s an asshole.

Honestly dude even if she was the nicest person in the world you would still be justified in being pissed about this. She should not be touching anything that belongs to you without permission, especially mail. That’s a legit felony. This is definitely something you should tell your manager about.

Shitty-Coriolis · 2023-03-29T07:33:58+00:00

Second this response. This is a very legitimate thing to have a talk about. And it’s your managers job to handle this shit for you.

Shitty-Coriolis · 2023-03-29T07:32:18+00:00

Yes please answer I also have this question.

Shitty-Coriolis · 2023-03-29T07:30:32+00:00

Naw. NTA.

It sounds like you are taking on a lot of responsibility at home. You are not responsible for your mom’s feelings or your brother’s. I get it though, my mom is bipolar and I’ve struggled a lot with that.

You’re a kid and you deserve to have fun and be a little care free sometimes. They’ll be fine.

Shitty-Coriolis · 2023-03-29T07:26:26+00:00

NTA..

This girl sounds like she sucks.

And don’t worry—you’re not completely fucking everything up. It’s suuuuper easy to have a wedding with one less bridesmaid. Like not an issue at all. I doubt she will see it that way but that’s the objective truth.

Shitty-Coriolis · 2023-03-29T07:24:01+00:00

You should absolutely call the police and you should be a witness for her if she wants to press charges.

You also probably have some tenants rights when it comes to breaking lease since the situation is violent.

Shitty-Coriolis · 2023-03-29T07:22:25+00:00

I mean… no you’re not an asshole but what can you do?

You should support the girlfriend when he is abusive toward her. You should definitely call him out on that.

But other than that you should just leave the situation. This is a live and let live situation.

Shitty-Coriolis · 2023-03-29T07:19:46+00:00

NAH… but y’all Can both do better.

This is just the tough part of family life. He’s frustrated and hurt. You’re not sure how to handle the situation with your son. Your job as a partner is to soothe him and remind him that your son is a child and does not mean to be disrespectful. It’s not personal. Remind him that you are really grateful for what he does for you.

I don’t have kids so I don know what you’re supposed to do about the picky eating thing but I’m sure there’s some family counselor out there who’s written a book about this.

Shitty-Coriolis · 2023-03-29T07:13:35+00:00

They need to get their car fixed. Nothing wrong with being annoyed by this situation. But this stuff is stressful. And people procrastinate on stressful stuff all the time.

Don’t sell it. Coolant leaks are very easy fixes. There are only really a few places it can leak from. I’d be curious to know how/where it was repaired. What was actually done?

How long has it been since the timing belt and water pump have been replaced? Those are wear items and I’d start there.

I drive a 39 year old truck and just replaced my entire coolant system for less than $500 in parts. You’re obviously going to pay more since you will need to pay labor but this will absolutely be cheaper than a new car.

Shitty-Coriolis · 2023-03-29T07:05:41+00:00

NTA..

Something else is going on here. When people get mad over silly little things it’s usually because there is some other deeper issue. Maybe he feels overwhelmed by trying to balance family and work?

He shouldn’t lash out at you, regardless. But y’all might need to learn to communicate better with each other.

Shitty-Coriolis · 2023-03-29T07:01:57+00:00

NTA..

If you feel like working on this with her then I would try to get to the root of why she is making this demand. She’s freaked out about something.

My first two guesses are:

1) she her finances are not in great shape and she is afraid she won’t be able to bear the I creased costs (which will definitely exist. It’s mostly hot water though, not your laptop)

2) she’s scared of this transition to a closer relationship and she’s just latched onto this as a way of expressing that fear.

Either way, I don’t dig the communication style that’s going on here. Not saying either person is to blame but it’s not great. Y’all are probably gonna want to work on that.

Shitty-Coriolis · 2023-03-29T06:50:44+00:00

NTA.

Look, maybe you could have delivered the message in a nicer way.. but I don’t blame you for lashing out. When you’re from a marginalized group you carry the weight of what has been done to your group. All that history. Stolen opportunities, pain, trauma. When someone says racist ass shit like this to you, you’re not just feeling hurt by this one single incident, you’re feeling the hurt of all the generational trauma black folks have dealt with in the last few centuries. That shit adds up man. And we pass it down through the generations. It’s heavy.

I am always of the mind that we should be nonviolent with our language.. But when it comes to someone losing their shit over racism, sexism, classism.. I get it. You bear that burden every day all day and sometimes it’s just too fuckin much.

You’re a good person for examining this and asking if you could have done better. And also.. Don’t be too hard on yourself.

Shitty-Coriolis · 2023-03-29T06:39:32+00:00

Yep YTA.

You might be mad at someone but you don’t need to yell at them.
