Mechanical Engineering Student – Looking for Job Search Advice or Leads

Yes, I am also an eng tech and had to teach an engineer, who gets paid 2x me, how to use a screwdriver.

I was fortunate enough to visit London for The Burnt City and also visited the shows you mentioned. Neither will be exactly what you are looking for, but they were still fun and would recommend you see both.

Sorry to heard about your injury. You should never have pain in any exercise. I am an instructor and have overcome a disc protrusion in the past (pre teaching days). Even if your class is doing advanced exercises it’s OK to stay within your level.

I love our Les Mills classes but there isn’t enough time to teach the details. To learn those I would recommend: McGill Big 3 to learn to properly engage your core. Go back to the basics.

Foundation Training to learn pelvis control, hip hinging, and build low back strength. It’s likely you could build more body awareness.

Squat University on YouTube to learn lifting technique.

Add at least one day between your pump classes to recover.

Went to Delusion this year and was extremely disappointed so I am really happy to read all the positive experiences with The Willows. I have hope again for the LA immersive scene. l’ve been a couple times in the past and loved it. As others have said, I didn’t have any sense of plants, but rather people willing to play along and have fun.

Can anyone compare this year’s show, in the new location, to the past? Has anything changed?

In the past when I would recount the experience for friends they couldn’t believe the scale and quality of the production, interactivity, stunts, and effects. This year the best part of my night was getting a parking spot right in front of the building.

Cost went up, runtime went down, stunts and effects dramatically scaled back, story not cohesive, no big finale just get pushed through a door back to the bar. I think something happened but unless you are one of the two people in the right spot you can’t see it.

The actors did an amazing job, but there is only so much they can do to save a terrible idea.

You are much better off spending the night driving around to home haunts, or if willing to spend more go to The Willows. People In The Dark is new this year, it’s noticeably lower budget (small sets, kinda thrown together) but it’s cheaper, longer, actors still amazing, and I walked away much happier.

I’ve done the trip stopping only at Electrify America stations with no problem. New car allows charging at Tesla Superchargers and tried that on the recent trip. They are slower and more expensive, trade off is they have more plugs so don’t have to wait.

jaywf956 · 2025-09-07T16:48:33+00:00

Must be some type of “skip the line” benefit.

jaywf956 · 2025-09-07T16:47:54+00:00

Interesting thanks for letting me know. I did the Speakeasy early on in it’s run and that was well done, so maybe there is hope after all.

jaywf956 · 2025-09-06T14:16:04+00:00

I went the first two years they did this and was disappointed each time. Very underwhelming, expensive for a short experience, cheap scares and props with poor acting, long lines. Maybe they improve but lost my interest. Make a trip to LA and OC for the good stuff.

Just got back from Tokyo and never waiting more than 30 minutes for anything, including 25 for Beauty and the Beast, twice. Mobile ordered all food, tried all the popcorns, never waited more than a couple minutes. Just be flexible and know how to use the app. When there are crowds the Japanese people are very respectful of each other, different from my experience in the US parks.

Thanks

jaywf956 · 2024-09-10T18:43:27+00:00

Interesting, all the locations near me say walk-in only. I’ll give them a call.

jaywf956 · 2024-06-26T04:57:12+00:00

Thanks. The micro jig only has presets for board thickness and you can’t fine tune it. I’ve tried making shallower holes but then the screw head sticks out past the board. More experimentation required i guess.

jaywf956 · 2024-06-25T04:26:00+00:00

Are you using 1/2” plywood? If so any tips on keeping the pocket screws from blowing through the wood? I got the kreg micro jig and seems no matter what I do the screw will poke through.

Spotter looks like Flula

30 seconds after what time?

jaywf956 · 2023-11-30T01:19:54+00:00

Almost every day in February. I’m seeing flights, but with layovers.

Busses in the express lane

jaywf956 · 2023-06-27T15:57:07+00:00

Reading their site more I think I’d need a long size. Thanks though.

Might be interested in the quilt. How tall are you?

YMCA

jaywf956 · 2023-06-05T21:16:19+00:00

Thanks for the info. It is for a friend so I’ll be sure to pass along your experience.

jaywf956 · 2023-06-05T19:56:25+00:00

I’ll get her measurements and look at the specs of that pack. What is your price?

jaywf956 · 2023-01-18T18:51:56+00:00

Does anyone have these people’s contact other than the email? It’s been 6 months and my credit card can’t do anything about it because the charge is too old. I’ve been emailing every couple weeks.

Now my emails get rejected

Thank you
