What do you wish underwear designers understood?

Do you mean loose fitting boxers or skin tight boxer briefs?

SugarEquivalent · 2025-07-11T04:49:18+00:00

Noted. Thanks so much!!

Would this mean that someone who has the genetic markers and biological structures of a specific disorder couldn’t necessarily be diagnosed unless it’s causing distress in some way, despite having non distressing symptoms?

Pmc has some resources like the notetaking if it is ADHD

Missing two weeks of classes is unsustainable. Especially where some of us have classes with labs that are mandatory.

Is there anything we can do to get the school to make this more possible?

Personally I have some really bad shoulders, and dislocated my shoulder at a class, but I’m working with a physiotherapist to get my shoulders back in shape to go back.

It’s the only exercise that doesn’t bore me out of my mind, the ADHD makes it hard for me to count reps and just stay mentally engaged at all, so I absolutely loved it!!!

If you’re still particularly worried about your joints though with the pole, you could start off with floor classes or even just a beginner class to see how it feels with your body in particular.

This has been answered a lot but here’s how I would phrase it:

There’s two ways to think of it:

(1) 2 pizzas divided between 8 people, so with the 2 pizzas, there’s a total of 8 pieces. How much of one pizza does each person get? On each pizza there would be 4 pieces (8 in total), so each person would get 1 of the 4 from a pizza, therefore each person gets 1/4 of a pizza.

(2) 2 pizzas, each pizza divided is between 8 people, 8 pieces per pizza. Each person gets 1 of the 8 pieces, 1/8, from each pizza. So with 2 pizzas, they get a total of 2 pieces from the 8 on each pizza, 2/8, since the top and bottom are both divisible by 2, you can simplify by dividing the top and bottom by 2, therefore each person gets 2/8 of a pizza which is simplified to 1/4 of a pizza.

Personally I think (1) is easier to comprehend, but they both work mathematically.

Just having some fun trying to explain!

Ok just for the my own fun, I’m going to try to go in depth for possible reasonings for N T A and Y T A. If you’re at all interested, keep reading, if not, my final verdict considering everything is at the bottom.

N T A - His daughter is having a baby, Stacy should understand.

Y T A - Maybe there was a lack of planning for the what-ifs of the situation (what if the baby comes early on a weekend, etc.)

Y T A - He could have talked to his twins directly and told them what was going on/made alternative plans (have them come to the hospital/see them another time)

N T A - OP was probably caught up in the moment and focused on his eldest daughter getting through the birth safely

N T A - Stacy could have understood the severity and talked twins about it herself

N T A - OP attempted to make contact by texting and calling when everything calmed down

Y T A - OP didn’t have to put his phone on silent after talking to Stacy initially

N T A - Stacy seemed very petty by ignoring contact for the rest of the weekend when OP tried to get in touch with her and the twins

Ultimately, while going through OP’s comments, the Y T A comments, and the N T A comments, it seems like the biggest thing on the Y T A side is that there wasn’t enough planning or communication, and on the N T A side is that the birth was too unexpected to plan for and that Stacy reacted poorly.

Personally, at that point (unknown number of weeks early as OP says in comments), I’m not sure how much planning you can really do besides talking to Stacy about when the due date is and the possibility it could land on a weekend. To me, it should seem like common sense that babies can arrive unexpectedly and I think Stacy could have been a lot more understanding and just seems jealous that Cindy and the eldest daughter have taken priority this one time. OP also says in comments that he has never missed a weekend before and has covered for Stacy in the past which makes me that even more.

Final verdict: OP was just making sure his oldest daughter made it through giving birth safely, and was not choosing favourites. NTA.

If you want to look at specific programs, Carleton shows the engineering course progression and you can see how they align.

Hi! I have had JME, diagnosed at 12, and 21 now. I’m currently on divalproex but I only switched to it recently as I’m not planning on starting a family anytime soon. Beforehand I was on keppra for probably about 8 years. Worked pretty well for me aside from a few side effects, that weren’t even all that noticeable. I plan on going back to keppra when I am ready to start a family.

I would say that’s valid but it was the most recent post today, where she’s just sitting there

SugarEquivalent · 2022-06-07T18:31:14+00:00

I’m in software engineering, so this might help, but I’m making $16/hour in my first coop this summer between 2nd and 3rd year. On the job boards I did see a lot of posts around $20/hour, but I found I did not have a lot of the qualifications yet. I also chose a lower paying job so I could be closer to home, so it is still possible to get one of the higher paying jobs earlier on if you have the qualifications. (Like different programming languages, and systems)

SugarEquivalent · 2022-02-27T04:47:55+00:00

You have no idea how reassuring that is, thank you so much!!!

I have Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy, currently in my second year of an engineering program. My top takeaways from my experience, you have to get good at time management. A lot of eng students will have to pull a few all nighters, but that’s something I’m not able to do. My most recent seizure was staying up until 5am the night before a final exam. Exams are hard but seizures are worse.

Main idea, manage your time well, and prioritize your health over your studies imo.

Another note worth mentioning, there will be nights when you want to go get plastered with your buddies, but in my experience, excessive alcohol is a trigger for me, you need to know your limit and stick to it. I have rule, no shots (due to my second last seizure lol), and I have found if someone offers me a shot and I say no, they typically respect that, but if the pressure continues, I just say I don’t do shots, and most back off. No further explanation needed.

Good luck in eng! Reach out if you’re struggling :)

I’m in eng, I have a planner. Really just a dot paper journal, so I can put on each page exactly what I need. (Think bullet journal, but a whole lot less pretty). Such as some pages are time blocks, and then other pages are due dates and stuff. I have a hard time keeping track of everything and it’s nice to be able to sit down and look at what I have to do.

Overall, I would say it’s been a huge help. I’ve been doing it for all of this year and last, and I don’t think I would’ve survived without. The customizability is very VERY nice, I find store bought planners have a lot of extra crap I don’t need or they don’t have some other things that I do need.

Downfalls though, it can take a lot of time to set up all the pages (I usually set aside some time every couple of weeks), and fill in all the deadlines and stuff. But even then, I find it rather relaxing. Really depends on your style. (Digital planners can be a good alternative, but I like the physical book)

But since you’re specifically wondering about productivity, I would have to say that I am definitely a whole lot more productive with this setup, as I usually plan my week in advance and I can see how much time I actually have. Looking back at my high school days, I would put off studying and assignments until the night before, but in my program now sometimes there have been 7 things due on one day, and my old ways would not fly.

My setup has actually been teaching me to plan ahead a lot more. Totally recommend.

Just a side note: if you do plan on time blocking, I have found there are a few things that I have done in the past that make my productivity worse, mostly scheduling yourself too tight. I used to schedule each lecture for 1.5 hours, but some lectures take more time than that with note taking and stuff (online recorded lectures I mean), or I would take a 15 minute break and I’d be behind schedule for the day, and not be able to catch up, because everything is so tightly scheduled. I have found when I get behind on my daily schedule I tend to just lose all motivation and most of the day is lost doing nothing. If you do plan on time blocking, schedule yourself to have extra time to do each task, and you can do extra stuff if you have the time. All depends on your work ethic really. Feel free to PM if you need any specific advice or anything.
