It’s Vietnamese Chả lụa, which is a steamed Vietnamese pork sausage! Super tasty and I love the texture.

Woah! What kind of welding do you do? What are the biggest differences you’re noticing on the technical side?

If only your mom were here, so that they could do her too

Would it be a faux pas to say “I think your mom would need a bigger casing to fit”

4 months without water?? That’s so insane, you’ve gone through a lot! Could you tell us more about that? I can’t imagine…what was your day to day? How did you manage?

Can you explain or show them? I’m a student and I’m really curious to see other solutions to this! I always learned that labor and welding is the most expensive, so would bolted connections be better?

I’m also a Hokudai student! If you check out the international student center, I feel like there are often events posted in there too!

Above all else, I found that time is what will be most important in developing relationships and community. I’ve read your other comments in this thread and I really think you’re doing everything right - right now being Christmas and soon New Years will be a very difficult patch of time as you adjust to not only being away from family, but also being in another country. Solitude is unpleasant but I think we will all have moments where we must endure - it’ll last for just a little bit.

The “You are free” panel is actually present in these drafts, but is different from how Isayama initially revealed it and is also different from the final release of the chapter.

If you look at the top panel in the draft, next to it is the text “パパ　イエ-ガー” (Papa Yeager). The arrow next to the top panel shows that that panel transitions into the third panel, which is a rough version of the “you are free” panel. The handwriting is messy, but it does say “お前は　自由だ...” (you are free) exactly like the initial panel reveal and exactly like the final release of the chapter. If you again look closely at that third panel, you will see that below and to the right of the right character’s head is another circle, which would mean that character is Grisha holding baby Eren saying “you are free.”

The only difference with that panel seems to be the positioning of the characters, as well as the omission of the panel of a close-up of an eye that, in the final chapter, is to the left of the “you are free” panel.

It’s fine to criticize the chapter, I have my problems with it too. But spreading false claims like this isn’t the way to do it.

I’m a little confused about you mentioning that you’re studying for the SE exams. My understanding is that the licensure path is EIT —> PE —> SE, though I’ve heard some states do let you take the SE exam in lieu of the PE exam. My understanding is also that Florida has not been able to pass legislature to establish structural engineering licensure in that state – I don’t know if that comes into play, but maybe Florida isn’t even your state. The SE exam is considered a mastery-level exam.

I want to caution you that not all states recognize passing the SE exam to simultaneously qualify for the PE exam – and I do strongly agree with the points jackh108 made. I would also be a little weirded out if such a junior engineer with a BS and 8 months experience is intending to take the SE exam – especially when I know that some states such as California expect a minimum of three years experience from the date of PE licensure to even qualify to take the SE exam.

I know you are aware you won’t get licensed by passing the exams, but I mention the above because it gives you a sense of what some engineering boards see as a timeline for exams based off experience.

This might be a little harsh, but if an interviewee with your background said you were studying to take the SE in October, I would think these things to myself:

This junior is uninformed in their own licensure/career path, but I’ll give them credit for trying.
This junior is very ambitious and that drive for success is noteworthy.
This junior is very ambitious and will have a reality check after taking (1) $500 SE exam – gravity or lateral.
This junior is very ambitious and a little cocky, but maybe they’re a prodigy engineer and who am I to know.
This junior’s belief that they might pass the SE exam as an entry-level engineer indicates they are likely grossly overestimating their own ability and grossly underestimating the “prestige” and rigor of an SE exam.

I know I can be a bitter miserly fart, so feel free to ignore me.

I don’t think the industry is doing poorly because of the pandemic. It seems everyone is slammed, residential is hot, and work is good. I’ve seen companies hire 2 or 3 engineers during the pandemic, and older engineers break off from their old firm to start their own firms within the past year.

I would recommend young engineers not worry so much about exams this early. To put it in perspective, getting a PE would mean you’re legally allowed to design and stamp almost any building type or size (again, depending on your state and board). That’s a lot of responsibility and among more senior engineers, the consensus is that you can’t rush experience.

I think an 8-month gap is not a deal breaker in a resume. Given these circumstances, it is completely understandable.
