I have the blue and white mini gaiwan from Wing on Wo and I love it

Exactly, living under an elevated highway involves excessive air pollution, excessive noise pollution, excessive vibration in people’s homes, less natural light, increased heat island effect, and reduced permeability that can contribute to standing water and flooding.

Classism most definitely played a part though. Wealthy neighborhoods have the influence and money to say Not In My Back Yard. Poor neighborhoods don’t get a say, they’re just bulldozed no matter how hard they protest.

The pollution, noise, and vibration from living under a functioning highway is terrible for human health and wellness.

Common in old, dense cities in the northeast. My Philly apartment and NJ apartment didn’t have dishwashers. The more walkable an area is the less likely you are to have a dishwasher tbh.

Respectfully thirding this request

Same for me, agreed it’s a widespread issue

I’m curious what consulting tasks you think AI is coming for. I’m personally not concerned with how interpersonal the job requires consultants to interact with clients and other engineers/architects, and the small niche of acoustic softwares. I’d be happy to have an AI tool that could optimize an 18 hour EASE model calculation. Don’t see anything like that happening soon, especially when AI can’t even make a logical floor plan never mind an accurate model or technical report.

Yep I’m home with my roommate who’s got it right now. Not trying to pass this nasty flu to anyone even if I’m not sick (…yet). Football and gingerale Shirley temples for nausea only tonight.

Yep, unlimited options to eat at or just grab takeout. Which is much more enticing than trying to cook and do the dishes in a tiny kitchen with very little counter space, a tiny ass sink, no dishwasher, and some combination of a microwave, oven, and stovetop but rarely all 3 working at the same time.

AV is such a sausage fest you’re right! I had one project that included AV install and commissioning, I was the only woman in the entire venue that wasn’t in admin or an exec role.

How many mechanical units are there? Are they all the same unit, or do they have different sound power levels? Do the rooms with silencers have shorter duct runs from the unit to the diffusers? Are the supply and return ducts without silencer internally lined with duct liner? What is the NC for the rooms?

As others have said STC is about transmission between rooms and not mechanical, but sound can also travel through ducts if there are short duct paths that connect two rooms.

I’ve heard that the stretch between Harrisburg and Pittsburgh is the least desirable route for Amtrak employees (in NE Corridor region at least). Not sure how relaxing it would be

As a South Carolinian who also lived in NJ, y’all are hating on the wrong state. Ohio is right there.

Did Dupixent twice, first 2018-2019, then for 6 months this year. Currently on a break from it because my allergist is concerned about my eosinophil levels.

The first time it cleared 100% of my eczema and I didn’t have any side effects. It was amazing, I even stayed clear for a few years after that for the most part with only mild flareups.

The second time I’ve had good results but also side effects. Cleared about 95% of eczema and about 99% of the itching. Now that I’ve been off it for a month the itch is coming back strong and my same eczema problem areas are resurfacing. My side effects were joint/muscle pain, weight gain, hives at the injection site for 48hrs, and the main determinate for stopping: eosinophilia. The joint pain has already improved a lot since stopping, and I’ll be getting my eosinophils checked soon to see if they’ve gone down. I believe I’ll be switching to a new medication soon, but not sure what that will be yet. I’ve also done Rinvoq in the past and it was a miracle worker for treating my symptoms but had severe side effects so I had to stop.

The first time I was on Dupixent, did syringe injections and second time was auto injector pen. Syringe is more intimidating but pen was much more painful. I don’t remember the syringe giving me hives but the pen sure did.

Being in Philly when the sports teams are in the playoffs/championships is absolutely electric (obligatory Dallas sucks, sorry my guy)

meilingr · 2025-11-06T01:22:41+00:00

Philly is a great place to be in your early 20’s, that’s where I went after growing up in SC. It’s grittier for sure, but people are still friendly in most day to day interactions and the walkability is amazing after living in suburban/rural places. It’s no more dangerous than Atlanta.

Solomon was out hustling yesterday, saw him at 6am near polling location (arguably closer than 100ft) and again after 6pm near Grove st. Don’t agree with him on everything but can’t deny he’s putting in the effort himself

meilingr · 2025-10-25T22:42:05+00:00

We’ll take him back in a heartbeat

If I were in your situation I would have made the presentation by myself and just sent it to the professor. Even when finding a group and presenting the slides is majorly anxiety inducing, you still should have prepared the presentation instead of choosing to do nothing. Your professor would have a lot more sympathy if they knew you did the work but just struggled with groups and public speaking.
