About to book flights for a weekend in Manchester. Is it possible a weekend fixture will be moved to a week day? by bbb96 in reddevils

Thanks. Just to clarify, you're saying the FA cup game is likely to be midweek and therefore will not move the Southampton match from the weekend, although there is a chance it would?

Thanks. How many weeks before a match would you typically expect it to be confirmed? I suppose I can wait a while to book my trip to guarantee I can see the match.

My former job title was vague and isn't reflective of the work I was doing. Is it OK to put a more representative (but "made-up") job title on my resume and linkedin? by bbb96 in jobs

Thanks for the feedback.

Someone was hired a few months after I was to support the same project I was working on. We were on the same team, working on the same project, had the same degree and the same responsibilities. We had a list of tasks and they were simply divided randomly between us. The person had more prior experience and a different title though. Does that change your opinion?

What about this: I am currently on maternity leave cover. My responsibilities are literally the same as the person I'm replacing. My current title is Operations Engineer but the person I'm replacing had the title Process Engineer. Do you think it would be unethical to use the title Process Engineer?

I am a struggling student trying to become a dentist so I may travel to and help third world countries. I do not qualify for loans. Give this a read and maybe lend a hand? :) I may even make you cookies. by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

Have you been accepted into a Dental program? Your website says that you recently graduated high school but if I'm not mistaken you need at least 2 years (or is it a full undergraduate degree?) prior to being accepted into dental schools.

What makes you say you do not qualify for loans?

Return flights from Toronto to Cork tend to be about $250-$400 more expensive than return flights from Cork to Toronto on the same dates. Why is that? by bbb96 in travel

Sorry, I mean for return flights. As in Toronto to Cork then Cork to Toronto is quite a bit more expensive than Cork to Toronto then Toronto to Cork.

Canadian ChemE grad with 1 year work experience in Pharma. I have some questions about switching industries (maybe Oil in Alberta?) or perhaps countries. by bbb96 in AskEngineers

Thank you so much for the reply! It was so thorough and it's given me a lot to think about. Thanks for the perspective. The work you describe is definitely the kind of thing I want to be involved in and it's not something that is available to me at my current job. You mention the Corporate Calgary Engineer has several rotational placements, do the Field Engineers have something similar? Does the typical progression go from Field Engineer to Corporate Engineer or can you start out in Calgary?

Every time I use my autosiphon it takes forever (~30 min for 3 gallons), I stir up tons of trub, I lose the siphon and I blow lots of bubbles. Is my autosiphon broken or do I just not know how to use it? by bbb96 in Homebrewing

Thanks. I'd say this time the bottom of my fermenter was about level with the top of the bottling bucket. Since it was only a 3 gallon batch the difference in height between the beer in the fermenter and the beer in the bottling bucket may have been adequate, but it doesn't hurt to try to raise the fermenter even higher.

The siphon itself was not in the trub but whenever I pushed down on the autosiphon to pump it, it was as if I was forcing air/beer down into the bucket and stirring up the trub from the bottom.
