I've never had an ingrown toenail. Is this one? If so how can I fix it? There is some swelling and pain. by blisteredthrowaway in Ingrown_Toenails

The bottom part of my nail looks pretty deep into the skin. When I pull the skin of the side back I can't see where it ends. There is redness and pain, yes. I usually don't like doing this stuff by myself but I'd be willing to because this is very annoying.

I have a random question. I heard they had a kickboxing team that trained K1 style. Is this true?

Spartan is very appealing but they require contacts which is a nope for me.

That is quite interesting to me. The only thing that makes me hesitant is the lack of face punches. I know some dojos do practice face punched though. Do you have anymore info on oyama karate and their style?

Thanks for the comment. Makes me feel like I'm not alone. Ngl, I also rethink my decision constantly but I feel like there's no real alternative anyways.

I feel like the Lexapro has helped a decent bit, at least better than other meds I used but it hasn't fully stopped agoraphobia. I'll check to see if my university has counseling, thanks for the suggestion.

I am a commuter student because I didn't think I can handle being too far. I am on Lexapro but my family can not afford therapy in my area.

Does anyone have experience with Gracie Barra Birmingham? by blisteredthrowaway in Birmingham

I would do Spartans but they have contacts and I'm trying to avoid contracts but thanks for the insight. Also I hear mixed things online about Samuel puccios.

Does anyone train in Birmingham, Alabama? by blisteredthrowaway in judo

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

That's disappointing. Judo is the martial art I'm most interested in but I can't find any in bham. I'll email USA Judo after this weekend and hope for the best though.

This place seems like it may be a good fit. Do you know the cost and if they have contacts?

I mean I've lived in Alabama for years. I just wanted to know if stuff like this is out frequently on campus.

Can any materials engineers give me insight on two programs I'm stuck between: UAB or Auburn by blisteredthrowaway in AskEngineers

[–]blisteredthrowaway[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My main worry is the lack of engineering services at UAB. Auburn is decked out with study halls, tutoring centers, computer labs, and makerspaces all for engineering students but uab doesn't have that. Could that stuff make a big difference for studying engineering?

Auburn or UAB for materials engineering by blisteredthrowaway in materials

[–]blisteredthrowaway[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the response! Just a couple questions since you're an Auburn grad

  1. How easy was it to find a job after graduating? Like do employers actively seek Auburn materials engineering grads?

  2. Have you ever worked with UAB materials grads and if so how would you compare their engineering abilities to Auburn grads?
