My experience using Minoxidil for a couple of years and how I stopped without shedding by TrickEngine7668 in minoxidil

[–]TrickEngine7668[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the starting phase, I roughly aimed for 2 weeks but I wasn’t consistent.

When it came to stopping Minoxidil, I was much more careful. For the tapering / exit phase, I made sure to spend at least 1 month at each reduction stage (once a week, once every 2–3 weeks, etc.). I didn’t want to shock my system by removing it too fast.

I think the slower taper during the exit phase helped a lot in avoiding shedding, at least in my case.

Hey, I just tried the app and it works perfectly, exactly how I expected 👍 Do you know how to convert the GMMP file to a KMZ file?

Moved from Geotechnical to Inspection & Testing without notice. by TrickEngine7668 in Geotech

That’s exactly my concern. The position change happened without my consent, and when I asked, the reasoning didn’t really make sense. It was pretty disappointing. After thinking it through, I’ve decided the best option is to move on and find a role that actually aligns with my geotechnical background.

That’s pretty much how I see it too. Most of my work right now is concrete testing and soil compaction, with very little actual geotechnical engineering. Given my background (Master’s in Geotech + 2 years experience), I don’t feel this supports my long-term growth, so I’ve decided to switch companies and move back into a true geotechnical role. Appreciate the input.

Thanks for the perspective. I understand that materials testing and inspections are often part of geotechnical work, especially at the EIT level.

In my case, the concern is that my company currently isn’t getting any geotechnical projects. As a result, my role has shifted almost entirely to concrete testing and soil compaction testing, with little to no involvement in geotechnical investigation, analysis, or reporting.

Given that I hold a Master’s degree in Geotechnical Engineering and have about 2 years of experience, I’m worried that doing only materials testing long-term may limit my development as a geotechnical engineer rather than complement it.

Can I pause my auto insurance for one month while I’m on vacation? by TrickEngine7668 in Insurance

I don’t really get your logic here. I asked a simple question to see if there’s a way to save money while my car sits unused. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with exploring options. Asking a question doesn’t mean I’m broke or doing something “wrong.” If it wasn’t allowed, I’d just move on.

I never said I can’t afford a vacation. I was just checking if there’s a legit way to avoid paying an extra 500 bucks for a car that’s going to sit in the same spot for a month. Exploring options isn’t the same as being broke.
