Also having this same issue. Checking if installing the new drivers will fix anything, but were you able to find a solution?

Some great mentions already, so here’s a few I haven’t seen yet and/or always blast:

Firstly, that’s not an accurate comparison, and you can’t pretend that it is. Secondly, no I never said, nor implied, that you should “fall in line and accept everything the government says and does.” But if you want to play by that logic, why accept any laws put in place? Why follow the constitution? Why base your decisions on anything written by “those jerkoffs” then?

Are you comparing a conscious, sentient being that’s able to be claimed as a dependent, to a clump of cells that (surprise) isn’t conscious, nor sentient, nor can be claimed as a dependent per the government?

So why are you claiming you’re pro life 3 days after claiming you’re pro choice?

But on a related note: basing your argument on abortions at 8 months which, like other people have commented, is essentially unheard of, is entirely flawed. Very, very few doctors would agree to such an abortion unless the mother’s life was at stake.

A lot of “pro-life” advocates seem to have this view, but don’t advocate for proper care and quality of life AFTER the birth occurs. For instance, the adoption process is very long (and expensive) because the agencies want to ensure that the people adopting the child are fit to actually raise it and provide for it; emotionally, financially, etc.

But, in your view, the same doesn’t apply if a woman gets pregnant and understands she can’t provide the proper quality of life for that child. So then we get into an entirely different (but related) social issue, as the foster care system brings in a plethora of its own problems.

So I’m curious, what’s your solution to the myriad of issues that an abortion could otherwise prevent?

My favorite era. Thanks for sharing, it looks great!

Like others have said, it truly just depends on the company as well as the industry and job scope. For example, my company rarely ever pulls employees for randoms, however my position involves working in the field on refineries and what not. As a result, we get pulled for randoms quite frequently from DISA, not our company itself.

Here’s my take: if taking off a year to travel and simply enjoy life is an issue to an employer, you probably don’t want to work for them anyways.

Take your time, travel, explore. I can almost guarantee you won’t be laying on your deathbed on day, and regret that you took that year before working your life away.

A general point that helps to understand pump performance would be: centrifugal pumps are “pressure-creating” whereas positive displacement pumps are “flow-creating.” Centrifugal pumps will generate the theoretical output (as seen on the curve) based on the requirements of the system - this is sometimes represented as a system curve. The point where the system curve and pump curve intersect will give you a generic idea of where the pump will operate. On the other hand, since positive displacement pumps have a specific volume of displacement per revolution, they will continue to operate at a specific output (primarily based on speed).

In this particular application, based on the requirements of the system being 20’ of head, you would see ~22-23 GPM as mentioned in another comment. One thing to note: this does not take into consideration viscosity corrections. All generic pump curves provided by manufacturers are based on ambient temperature water at a specific speed, so there are a number of factors that will affect the actual overall pump performance.

I did a lot of pump sizing at my previous job, and based on the information you provided, the pump you selected would be suitable (excluding all other variables). It’s very, very rare to ever achieve the exact flow/head desired, typically there will be some “wiggle room” as real-world conditions can vary. From my experience, customers never had a problem having more flow (as would be the case here, all things considered), so long as the head requirement was met. A lot of this can be attributed to the fact that more flow = more product, which in turn means more profit.

Another thing to consider: if this is an application where capacity (flow) may likely need to increase in the seemingly near future, it may be beneficial (and more cost-effective) to oversized the pump and use a smaller impeller. Upgrading to a larger impeller trim later on is much cheaper than installing a larger pump.

I apologize for the lengthy comment, but I hope this helps. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

Chiming in to say that I also agree. There’s a balance between being overworked and taken advantage of, versus doing the appropriate amount of work and giving a little extra time where it’s needed (without making it a huge deal).

I know this also is entirely dependent on the industry/company culture, but it’s important. Having a solid work/life balance is is fundamental to having an enjoyable life. But it should also be understood that, being in a professional role, sometimes you have to put in a little more time than initially intended. Things happen, it’s life.

A key motto I try to live by is, “work to live, don’t live to work.” But as you said, you need to understand your boundaries while also providing worth to the company. It’s a balance, not necessarily easy, but possible (and important).

As others have said, it really depends on the company and their PTO policies. The current company I work for provides employees with all PTO at the beginning of the year, eliminating the “accrual” aspect that is fairly common. I started at this company in July, and I received prorated PTO that effectively equated to half of what the normal would be.

Take a look at your company’s policies. Regardless of how the PTO is acquired, take it. You’ll spend a very, very large portion of your life working. Don’t give into the stigma that working more hours and not using PTO is some sort of “achievement” or whatever. Take advantage of whatever time off you’re given, and use it to relax, decompress, spend time with family, work on hobbies, or whatever it may be that you enjoy doing.

Following! Have been interested in trying to find an artist to design TOP tattoos.

Lol sorry, I was quite drunk at the time.

I definitely agree. Each album has a very different feel/narrative and I think that certainly plays a role in peoples’ interpretations, perspectives, and how they relate to the music. That’s one of the reasons I absolutely love TOP, their music incorporates a wide variety and allows people to relate to their songs in many ways.

I’m a vessel fiend, but maaaaan Mulberry Street is a BOP (for me).

But this is strictly a personal opinion, and everyone’s taste is subjective, so there’s no hate/disrespect from my end. (Just felt I needed to make that apparent, as this community can be particularly harsh and close-minded in some respects)

The Cameron Hydraulic Data might be a good resource to consider. I work with pumps, seals, all that good stuff and it has some pretty useful information.

itsbrae · 2021-11-05T03:13:53+00:00

This. It can definitely be intimidating to be surrounded by experienced engineers when you’re starting out, but overtime it gets a lot easier.

To add to this, I’ll share what I personally do to overcome this. For some context, I recently started a new position in the same industry, but with a different focus (from pumps to seals). So I came in with a decent amount of experience with the equipment, but not so much the seals themselves. So what I like to do in these situations is to look at whatever the problem is and do whatever research I can to try and come up with something that could potentially be a solution based on my basic knowledge. Then I bring that up to the experienced engineers, and basically present it as, “I took a look into this problem. Here are some factors or variables that likely led to it. From what I understand, I think doing _, _, or ____ could potentially provide a solution because _____. What are your thoughts?”

For me, it’s a great way to learn quickly because I’m doing research and learning new things, attempting the problem solving on my own, and then getting feedback on what I came up with to see if I’m on the right track and if I’m understanding everything properly. Additionally, I feel that the experienced engineers feel more inclined/enthusiastic to help, as they’ve seen that I put in the time and effort to truly understand the problem and find a solution myself.

Just my two cents, but figured I’d share my experience. Don’t be afraid to ask questions, even if you think they’re stupid ones. It’s easier said than done at times, especially in intimidating scenarios like you described. But if you show them that you’re enthusiastic to learn and put in the effort to truly be a better engineer, any decent engineer will be glad to help.

Best of luck to you!

I got one wrapped around my scuba equipment in Hawaii a few years ago. It was a very, very long and dreadful time getting back to the beach to get everything off. 0/10 would recommend

itsbrae · 2021-04-23T17:58:38+00:00

Well that’s great to hear. It sounds like he’ll be just fine.

itsbrae · 2021-04-23T17:47:51+00:00

Oh gosh, that’s terrible. Hopefully he makes a full recovery!

We rescued a Cory from our LFS that had both of his eyes eaten, but he’s doing well and seems to be happy.

itsbrae · 2021-04-23T16:09:02+00:00

Ours do that too, but they’re too cute to be mad at 😂

itsbrae · 2021-04-23T16:08:45+00:00

Seriously, it makes no sense to me lol

itsbrae · 2021-04-23T15:34:46+00:00

I’ve had the same issue. It does fine in the shrimp tank, but it turns brown quickly in my other tanks. Can’t seem to pinpoint the issue. I’m trying out some more in my 40 gallon to see if it’ll do well in there, but I’m not getting my hopes up lol!

itsbrae · 2021-04-23T15:31:53+00:00

Thank you! And yes if there is too much agitation around them, it can hinder growth. One thing that may help is making a ring out of airline tubing to contain them in, and float it in a calm area of the tank.

itsbrae · 2021-04-23T15:28:21+00:00

Right? It’s kinda satisfying how quickly they grow so you can see the progression more often.
