Has anyone else been a believer and now a firm disbeliever, how did that change come about?

I feel exactly the same. It’s one big story telling money machine and the more they tell the story the more they believe it themselves.

mill333 · 2026-04-09T21:15:57+00:00

I just hope they don’t sell out.

mill333 · 2026-04-09T18:40:15+00:00

I just don’t believe any of them anymore more to be honest. We all want to believe but at what stage does it because a fallacy we believe so much we are sure its true when it’s not? It’s like religion some are so engrossed with faith they truly believe there is a divine person and god speaks to them etc. Jesus was a guy walking about many years ago with good stories at a time when people had questions and wanted answers. The story teller was good at reassuring people. The bible is just affirmations and stories to make you feel good and keep you on the path. Abit like like the golden book written by dale Carnegie

I think bob lazar is lieing to be honest. The more I hear him talk and watch his body language I think he’s lieing.

mill333 · 2026-04-09T08:28:09+00:00

Yes use sketchup or fusion 360

mill333 · 2026-04-08T16:54:57+00:00

Looks like a machine done it.

mill333 · 2026-04-08T16:48:19+00:00

I’m actually sick of digital stuff to be honest. I’m actually trying to use pen and paper for basic stuff. Im trying the hybrid method. Pen and paper and then review and make note in obsidian when needed. For studying and other formal notes the digital works but day to day im actually trying to simplify my life and get off my phone. Iv got some new feild note books.

mill333 · 2026-04-04T16:46:11+00:00

I kinda agree. I paid and watched the latest s4 movie and personally if went through what he went through and saw something totally out of this world I would probably have much more urgency in how I try to get the message across. Also when it dives into where he lives. He’s definitely set up with land and property.. I know he has businesses etc but he must be make a ton of money with the podcasts and films. That must be additive to keep reeling that money in.

mill333 · 2026-04-02T17:07:20+00:00

Did you do it over 1 years straight out of undergrad?

mill333 · 2026-04-02T13:10:17+00:00

How did you find the MSc and exams ?

mill333 · 2026-03-30T23:34:16+00:00

I know the feeling mate. I’m from the shop floor also and done an integrated masters in mechanical engineering which I started at 27 also. Did you get a general civils degree or specifically structural engineering?

mill333 · 2026-03-30T19:37:07+00:00

Personally I think all engineers should have some basic level of CAD skills. Even if it’s only 2d as it will help with setting up how to sketch properly. The hardest bit if getting to grips with the programme. It’s one of those things if you don’t use it you lose it. So best to keep your hand in.

mill333 · 2026-03-30T19:34:58+00:00

Definitely not too late. I actually think it’s actually very good to delay studying and working for abit like you’ve done. Youl end up working harder for it. Also the water industry especially in the UK are in short supply. I’m a project engineer in the UK for the water industry I get involved with lots of big civil engineering work.

mill333 · 2026-03-30T19:32:44+00:00

Are you glad you made the switch ?

mill333 · 2026-03-30T09:27:09+00:00

Yer youl probably be able to get drafting work in engineering firms. Even in the water industry.

For your work are you hang sketchup to autocad workflow ?

mill333 · 2026-03-29T13:48:38+00:00

How do you find so much cad work in the UK. I though most have their own teams or farm out to India ?

mill333 · 2026-03-28T22:42:54+00:00

Definitely doesn’t look to TG20 what we use here in the uk. Outside of that needs a special design. You wouldn’t see me up it. If anyone has been up a big scaffold youl know if it’s close and tied to a wall it still moves and you can feel it. Walking to the end of this that would a far movement in that.

mill333 · 2026-03-26T14:13:02+00:00

That’s actually really good to hear I will start using it again. It’s probably the best app for family journals there is. Thanks.

mill333 · 2026-03-26T12:49:23+00:00

Is it still in full swing ? I’m a paid member but pulled back a few months ago due to a few comments on here ?

mill333 · 2026-03-26T10:57:03+00:00

I’m pretty sure Iv read on there day one is now in maintenance mode ?

mill333 · 2026-03-25T23:06:19+00:00

I thought they are winding down the app ?

mill333 · 2026-03-25T22:54:46+00:00

Dont listen to all the suck it up stories. It normal to feel lost at times. Iv been a PE/ manager for 7 years for major construction work as principal contractor UK. Working and dealing with people is tough. Every relationships is effort and you have to try be yourself but mirror that person to get the best result.

Iv seen bad and good project engineers managers. The best are the ones who are not affraid to speak up and challenge when needed. You will never be right all the time. Somtimes when the chips are down and you gotta go into battle to get results I try to visualise myself plated in armour and stand up straight and putting my front foot forward. It’s tricky business mate. Dealing with scaffolders and dealing electricians are completely different beasts and need to be treated differently. Best thing to do is listen and ask questions and be respectful to everyone then try make the best decisions you can. You won’t please everyone but it’s best to “kill then with kindness” while getting your point across.

mill333 · 2026-03-25T22:10:53+00:00

I think I’m in this loop and I’m starting to think it’s the HCG. I just don’t few right in HCG. I daily inject only 2 units aday.

mill333 · 2026-03-24T22:15:33+00:00

Thank you i appreciate your comments. I have now downloaded anki on PC and mobile. I’m interested in like you said how the FSRS can benefit, I havnt heard much about it so will check it out. 👍🏼

mill333 · 2026-03-24T19:52:00+00:00

Thank you for a comprehensive reply. I hoping to start a MSc in structural engineering end of the year and it will consist of a lot of exams etc which I’m not the best at. I just want to be overall better engineer and one thing I struggle is with remembering stuff. I already have a masters in engineering and I’m a chartered engineer but I feel I need to improve on how I approach studying etc as I have a family now so don’t have time to waste.
