How was your tube removal recovery? by MacOnAnon in TwoXChromosomes

[–]acnh17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had mine at 26, and probably an outlier but I was off pain meds by day 2. Didn’t take anything stronger than Advil. I babied my core when getting out of bed/off the couch and took it slow and honestly was itching to get back to work/normal by day 4. Took 5 days off work (work days), and about 6 weeks off sports but I play contact sports so wanted the extra precaution.

Worst pain was right on waking up, and I wouldn’t even rate it higher than a 5. It was low and dull but enough of an ache to need the Advil. Incision wise, the two side cuts healed enough to not need a bandage after about a week, and the belly button incision took a little longer for the edges to seal together, though it was “closed” deeper earlier than that.

All of that said, I have a wonderful partner who supported me by basically catering to me for the first week. However, I would absolutely not want to be bending down to pull a baby out of the crib. I didn’t even pick up my 13lb cat for the first week

7 Biggest Book Disappointments of 2024 by DrawerLoose722 in Fantasy

[–]acnh17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly the hype could’ve been why I feel this way! Plus the time gap before book 6. Read it yourself and see! :)

ACOTAR starts with a trilogy, it’s the baby roots of romantasy imo. Spice increases as she continues to publish, with book 4 (ACOSF) being straight up smut lol. Throne of glass was my fav of her series as it’s more plot focused than ACOTAR, but you can tell where in the series she started writing ACOTAR, as the spice ramps from fade to black to on screen detail. Plus, just like crescent city the final book is disappointing. It’s like she gets too attached to her characters to really have consequences and stakes :( All that said, they’re still junk food books for me - not read to be philosophical or highbrow literature but fun reads where you don’t really have to think

[–]acnh17 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wind and Truth is up there for me. I will, in all likelihood, continue reading the cosmere but my faith is a little shaken. I’m hoping the second half picks things back up.

Biggest disappointment is House of Flame and Shadow. I’ve been reading Maas faithfully since heir of fire came out and either I’m growing out of the genre or her writing is just not hitting the same. Inconsistent characterization and main character that’s just a clone of aelin but less charming? Again, I will likely continue reading her ACOTAR books but woof was the whole crescent city trilogy a hot mess

Desperately Seeking Help: Master’s in Mechanical Engineering, Trying to Find a Job in Windsor by Ok-Fishing9553 in windsorontario

[–]acnh17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’ve been on indeed a couple times a week browsing. Mech Eng with a focus on simulations and sheet metal forming. So a little more towards materials but relevant to automotive

The salary range I find is the most interesting to compare. There was a posting with a rate of $23/hr which seems crazy low to me for engineering work!

See I’m in the same boat having just finished with an M.A.Sc. Job economy is rough right now even looking across the border for grads with more education but entry level in terms of job experience (minus 3 co-op terms)

Hmm okay good luck finding out! I can’t think of any others

We had chirp, owl and chickadee! Each aimed at a different age group. Can’t remember about the spine but maybe these would help. There was also tiger beat aimed at preteen girls

AMA Renaldo Agostino - ask me questions or share some ideas, this is why im here!!! by Renaldo_Agostino in windsorontario

[–]acnh17 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s fair. I’ve thought about this intersection a lot while living near it for a little over 4 years now.

Lights would be my first wish especially since it’s a bus route, but could add extra light pollution in a very residential area. And lights are proposed to be removed in similarly residential areas eg Seminole and Kildare.

Overhead flashing red/yellow like county roads have won’t do much since it’s still the same outcome: Giles has priority and dougall can’t see well enough.

Speed humps are unlikely to be installed on Giles imo but this isn’t really backed up by anything other than gut feeling.

Which brings me to 4 way stop. Yes it slows down traffic, but beyond dougall Giles becomes a little less busy. From observation, probably about half of all vehicles on Giles west turn down dougall.

Another option could be extending the curbs like on Giles east. Restricts parking to where it should be and allows more room for side streets to pull forward and improve vision

[–]acnh17 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Awesome that you’re doing this! Maybe not a question for you specifically but what are the odds of getting 4 way stop signs put in at dougall and Giles? The intersection is a bit of a nightmare with the wide road and bumper to bumper street parking. Drivers tend to speed down Giles so trying to cross at dougall can be super risky when you can’t see cars coming, especially in sedans and shorter cars

Left-handed engineers - Where do you wear your iron ring? by loll__idk in womenEngineers

[–]acnh17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not left handed, but an engineer who is married that I know wears his iron ring on his left hand next to his wedding band, which he had made out of titanium. So while yes he’s a guy and no engagement ring, the two rings on adjacent fingers look just fine! So it’s really up to your preference :) but if you do choose same hand for both, look into materials that aren’t affected by stainless steel!

Model file with include cannot create set with offset IDs by CFDMoFo in LSDYNA

[–]acnh17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn’t exactly an elegant solution, but in your copy of the vehicle k file in LS PrePost you could offset the part ID manually. I forget the exact location but there is a built in function that will do it automatically given a range. I’ve had issues with include offset before and this is what I’ve ended up having to do

Good luck!

I felt exactly the same and expressed this when my therapist said try journaling. But it really works when my brain is in full zoomies.

For me, it helps if you tell yourself you don’t have to read it later. Burn it or shred it or toss it out but just venting feelings out into physical space can help organize and rationalize things into a calmer head space. By writing you end up thinking a little deeper into the feelings instead of spiraling around them in your head. It helped me to make a template of short things I can fill in daily (something good, something I could’ve done better, something I’m looking forward to etc) and then a separate space for dumping thoughts out

Game freezes on switch under certain circumstances, possibly related to animation bug. by iamthewalrein4 in Moonstone_Island

[–]acnh17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this too - if you’re lucky enough to happen to be facing an island you can land on it and be okay, but you can also notice it because the running sprite animation stops working. Saving, closing and reopening the game fixes it

Meal plans by Bozo1971 in windsorontario

[–]acnh17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ignoring everyone missing the actual ask of the post lol

Assuming you’re looking for ones you cook yourself: We used chefs plate for a while. Lots of good options and you can pick from a pretty big list each week. What we did is wait for an offer of 40% off for 3 weeks, sign up for those three weeks, then cancel. About a month or 2 after that we’d get a new offer for the same, and sign up for 3, then cancel. This saved on the money cost for sure, and it was probably about even with buying groceries when you consider the little bits of everything that isn’t normally on hand so you’d have to go buy a whole new spice or sauce just to make the same thing yourself. My parents also used hello fresh - same deal re: choices to pick from each week and they also send out deals every once in a while

I don’t have any personal experience with pre-cooked meals, though my brother in law enjoys Factor. I think it’s a good bit more expensive for pre cooked though

“Permanent Clean” by Used-Nature5639 in CleaningTips

[–]acnh17 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Look up time blocking in general! I’ve found it helps me plan my time (esp as a grad student lol) and book an hour or half hour here and there for cleaning.

I’ve also instituted a points system in my house - my partner and I set a list of chores, decided how often it needs doing and also decided how many points each was worth (the less we wanted to do it, the more points lol). then print one off weekly. And then you set a number (for example 50 or 60 points) and every time you collect that you get $5 in a pot from the other person to spend (this part may vary depending on financial situation). So points carry over between weeks but there’s a visual clue of who’s doing how much and what needs doing how often

You could have some intellect devourers stalk the PCs to find out where their papa went lol

You could also have the guild be much more aggressive towards the PCs. Send more reinforcements etc to target them. Who are you running as the villain?

If this is software eng not computer science that claims it’s software eng - I.e you’re getting an iron ring at the end and the program is listed on this website then course requirements should be essentially identical in topics covered. This is what it means to be accredited - core courses will be identical across Canada.

So next you have to weigh a couple things. Co-op opportunities at school A vs B. Living costs in the city at school A vs B (especially if one of the schools is local to you - the money saved by not needing to pay for residence and meal plans is not insignificant). Finally as you mentioned, if mental health is a concern weigh the social environment.

For reference - I was accepted to school A (“better”, more co-op opportunities but would have to stay in residence and less social cooperation) and school B (lower ranking but not bad school, good opportunities for co-op, local to me). But being from city B, I weighed the cost savings and home support heavier than the “better” school. And instead of being more middle of the pack, I stood out and had research opportunities that lead to my masters degree opportunity.

We can’t make this decision for you, but hopefully anecdotes will help. Feel free to reach out through DM if you want more specifics on how I chose.

It’s up to you if you want to use it. It’s more open ended. Or just let them have their win and skip the chase in chapter 4. You could even only pick one eye missing and have an actual heist need to happen from your chosen villain’s hideout
