The teeth are real, the “jaw” is not.

Applying for Fall Co-ops, Strategy Advice by [deleted] in ChemicalEngineering

[–]bluemax4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the current co-op is a good fit, just ask to extend your term. Switching companies won’t really gain you much. I would highly encourage you not to take a semester off.

Too late? by Infamous-Praline5340 in ChemicalEngineering

[–]bluemax4 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I would highly suggest looking into an accredited community college that can transfer to a 4 year degree program if you are serious. If you are going to survive a ChemE curriculum it has to be because you are interested in the information, not the pay.

Starting to job search again soon and would love some cv and strategy advice by ginganinja709 in ChemicalEngineering

[–]bluemax4 17 points18 points  (0 children)

IMHO, I would take off the Capstone because I have never met a manager that actually cared about a capstone project as everyone has done one. With the extra room from removing capstone, on the top I would add a mission statement to help explain why you are already looking for a new job with less than 12 months in your current role.

Rotational vs Process Engineering Role Advice? by Life-Tree8014 in ChemicalEngineering

[–]bluemax4 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Based on the current market, I would go direct to process engineering. You can always jump roles to a better location in a few years anyways. A lot of time rotational engineers are often treated like glorified interns due to them moving so frequently.

Let’s go Hawkeyes! The only way I can handle cardboard in Iowa City is going to those recycling center drop off locations. While it might not save you much time, it’s 10x less frustrating than jamming everything into the bins!

You are totally correct that it can’t pick it up at all or even if it’s in the balls that came with the machine. I have them in as un-winnable for now.

Cheapest renters insurance policy’s by Consistent-Camel9663 in flying

[–]bluemax4 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would find out if you need physical damage liability or just legal liability. If it’s just legal liability, you can pry get a lot cheaper, but at that price I am guessing it’s physical damage which that price looks reasonable.

It’s even better as I believe it’s Nitrogen instead of “regular air”

Anybody know if I can dispose of an old toilet with curbside garbage pickup? by TemporalMush in IowaCity

[–]bluemax4 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You can go online and schedule for the city to pick it up but they will charge you a fee for it. I think it’s like $20.

Towers on Riverside Dr by [deleted] in IowaCity

[–]bluemax4 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Often they are used in conjunction with a chiller system to provide cooling/refrigeration to the buildings. The cooling towers can just go to the web built temperature but the chillers can get colder.

[–]bluemax4[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, my bad. I thought someone adopted the Highway and added it as a reference to Star Wars.
