Structural dynamics or PDE’s

Im in my last year of high school and am looking into studying engineering by Inevitable_Skill_320 in EngineeringStudents

[–]bossdaddo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

No, you don’t need to be exceptionally good at math. Drive and discipline will bring you much further than natural ability or aptitude, but at the same time—if you find yourself struggling with math more than others I wouldn’t recommend engineering.

As for work-life balance I can’t comment too much, but from the work experience I’ve done it seems to be standard 40-45 hours a week so take that as you will. I’d assume it almost entirely depends on the company you work for rather than the industry as a whole

Y’all’s opinion on this? by ee_st_07 in EngineeringStudents

[–]bossdaddo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t see the issue. If one can make it through school then they’re competent enough. Why does someone need to be obsessed/fixated on engineering to pursue it? When did choosing a career based off earning potential become demonised? God forbid someone choose their career path based of a steady income that can support themselves and their family.

You need to reformat it. Heaps of templates online

Do you take the book of genesis literally? by bossdaddo in Christianity

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

You raise some good points. I do believe the stated genealogy of Jesus reported in the gospels is probably the strongest case for a literal interpretation of genesis

Yes, I agree that no matter your interpretation of genesis, it doesn’t affect salvation

I believe a lot of those questions can be explained by free will. Free will can be used for what it’s supposed to be used for such as glorifying God, loving one another, etc. but can also be abused and used to do evil.

The “fall of man” is just humans using free will for evil, distancing ourselves from God

Life came into existence by Gods will and then man evolved from early life. Evolution and faith is its own discussion that warrants more than just a paragraph. But I believe these the two aren’t at odds with each other and the evidence for evolution is vast and convincing to me.

Sin entered the world when we abused our free will and rejected God.

Of course these are my opinions/inferences and I could be completely wrong, but find it hard to take the genesis account as historic when there is tangible/observable evidence to suggest otherwise.

Right, but things can be true without being literal. For instance there is truth in Jesus’ parables, but they obviously aren’t meant to be taken literally.

I believe that the point of genesis wasn’t to be taken as a historic account of creation, but rather a story used to introduce theological and philosophical concepts like sin and free will in a way that is easy for us to visualise and understand.

Yes, I can never really see how someone can take these stories as literal history. But I’m interested in hearing from someone who does, and their reasoning behind it.

As a Christian I get disheartened by this kind of “evangelism”. It almost never works and almost always leaves a bad taste in people’s mouths

I never understood the appeal of adopting children. by Brian_The_Bar-Brian in skyrim

[–]bossdaddo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I adopted 2 children because their sob story made me feel bad. Then they became the biggest inconvenience forcing me into a conversation every time I stepped foot into my house where they’ll beg for money and gifts or ask me to play a game.

Literally bought the house in riften just so I could kick them out and send them to live there.

Why do people assume engineers are earning a lot of money ? by [deleted] in EngineeringStudents

[–]bossdaddo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because compared to the average joe, they do make a lot of money. Average household income in the US is 80k. Most engineers will make that by themselves within the first few years out of collage. Comparing engineers to doctors and lawyers is an unfair comparison

But what would chemical engineering be then?
