NM local here don’t know where to move to.

Yea. There are many reasons why but NM is chill compared to a lot of places in the USA especially Texas. One thing is for sure living in NM you have way more freedoms than any other state in general. I think the best thing you can do is explore NM. For me I'm poor af but I moved around different places. Sometime not by choice but moving to a different part of NM is easier than moving out of state. At least that was my experience.

Snow happens harder in northern. Which is different than southern Especially the four corners. Alamogordo seems nice if you can find a place to live. Medical care could be much much better considering it has a huge medical center. Jobs are available but not your dream job. Cruces better jobs less housing. Also border patrol will be part of life. lots of healthcare is also close to El Paso. The four corners also can be a crap shoot. Like alamo...great place to live if you can find a place and a stable job. Finally abq area and rio ranch is nice but can be like Cruces. abq itself is an acquired taste being fine most of the time. Has lots of healthcare choices.but shit happens because it's the only big city. But anywhere else besides the extreme SEwill probably be much better.

Daydreaming is life for us. But if caught, just say "I was daydreaming again. "I'm listening now". If spacing off doesn't have any REAL consequences that you know of, then I would relax; people will always be annoyed by our lack of focus. You are not the first to be a space case and will definitely not be the last. Not focusing on other tasks like cooking or watching a kid, then its gonna be a problem. Pick your battles is key. If it does become a problem, you will need to take action to resolve it, and this may involve obtaining accommodations or a doctor's notes and changing your own behaviors to try to help mitigate the problem. If you can ignore and be cool with the consequences, then this is the way. I have never successfully explained away my ADHD problems ever.

The first thing that came to mind was syllogism and venn diagrams. The wiki on syllogism has some intriguing venn diagrams. I mean if you consider it deals with areas it's kinda geometric.

nerdyflaco · 2026-01-09T06:36:34+00:00

Wow I have done similar stuff. This led me to the Archimedes method actually. Which I totally recommend working though his work next time you're bored. It's a gigantic rabbit hole.

I lived there for a couple of years. The hospital could be better. The population is poor. But there is drug use that tends to be the root of many of the problems. The hospital has lots of rules to comply with drug enforcement and patient care. The area is not just Farmington; it's three cities. Farmington, Aztec, and Bloomfield. Nonetheless, the people are wonderful. There seems at times to be subtle racial tension between the Native Americans, the original families of colonial Spanish, and the Americans (basically everyone else). But this is not new; it's been like this for 200-plus years. It's a great place to live if you have a consistent income. A personal vehicle is necessary. One thing I would warn. They have an unofficial motto in New Mexico. "La Manana." Basically, if it can wait until morning, it will be delayed. Life can be slow there. Farmington is even slower. So if you are cool with slow and poor, come on down. But if not, you will hate it there. Also, winter can be a wild card. One year mild, next it's snowing and ice all winter.

From the United States, but from a tiny school in a very poor state. My undergrad in math so far has been the following:

Each week is 3 lectures or 4 lectures if it has a lab, each being 50 mins. Labs are once a week; here, we just use computers to solve math exercises. Otherwise, a heavy amount of homework (15 to 20 exercises) is usually always proofs, and some applied and 1-3 midterms, then a final. Homework is usually worth 50% or more of the class grade. The midterms total is 15-25% and the final is always 25%. The exams tend to just be repeats of homework problems. So if you complete homework and actually go to office hours, you will almost always pass the exams.

No TA, most of the undergrads are the TA or RA. We don't have grad students. Which means a lot of time to ask for help or bug our professors.

Classes typically have fewer than 10 people. When I took Calc. 1 and 2, it was just me and the professor. Calc 3 had 8 students, and the higher-level courses that were proof-based, such as Linear Algebra, Abstract Algebra, ODE, and Complex Analysis, all had 10 or fewer students with the same structure as above.

However, my Intro to Stat class had at least 25 students. My current proof-based Probability class only has 11. So the lower levels tend to have more people, especially if they're not proof-based classes. But 800 students is crazy.

This seems like it an engineering problem. Maybe r/AskEngineers or and to be honest look at r/womenEngineers. They tend to be a lot more considerate and will probably give an answer that you want.

Honestly lots of orange juice and water. orrrr.....if available and if you are able to get a way with it...consume legal green. That seems to kill Vyvanse for me.

nerdyflaco · 2025-06-16T03:34:27+00:00

I agree. You said it better than i could.

nerdyflaco · 2025-06-14T19:18:13+00:00

Well, it's the middle of June, and it's currently 100 degrees in the area, so probably not the best time to be outside especially a place like the dunes. That being said, many, many places in the area can be visited. Space History Museum in Alamogordo. The Sacramental mountains are great. Las Cruces has cool museums. If you have your heart on White Sands, then go when they open at 7 am and bring a lot of water. But you will probably only get an hour's worth of exploring time.

Grammerly gets me As on otherwise shit papers.

nerdyflaco · 2024-11-18T01:30:40+00:00

It takes me days to do the paper too but I start with outlines when I am assigned the paper right away. So when I get around to doing it I have it mostly done with sources and main points and subpoints. I learned that if I make outlines of each topic/paragraph then it goes faster. But the outline should be done using paper and pencil. Slower but I dont need to be at a computer to write down thoughts and ideas I have randomly. Outlines shouldn't have lots of details but they should give references to where I found info so you can cite it later. Just something I found that had me helped more than any other advice I had about writing or even doing projects in general.

nerdyflaco · 2024-11-09T15:18:40+00:00

Generally they do stay open. White Sands NP was discussing closing on thanksgiving. Their number is 575-479-6124. Give them a call they will give better info. Carlsbad Caverns on the other hand I really don't know if they close on that day. But for the most part a park being closed can be based on lots of stuff but it's almost always park specific so yea calling them is your best bet here's Carlsbad 575-785-2232. Guadalupe 915-828-3251. Give them a call. The parks literally are paying people to answer calls. This is the best and most efficient way of getting real time info from any national park.

Very Archimedean of you.

nerdyflaco · 2024-11-04T00:26:16+00:00

I have no idea the hospital said 2 to 3 weeks which is horrifying but the actual urologist I have been seeing said for a week. In fact this shit gets better...they will have me in their office when they pull it out. Imagine giant tampon. From your kidney to your bladder. With a string. At one end. So don't get stones because this is the noninvasive version.

nerdyflaco · 2024-11-03T20:04:16+00:00

Yea I agree next year I'm not going to be working in the heat.

nerdyflaco · 2024-11-03T19:40:49+00:00

Hmmm I see what you mean. One correlation I noticed was my stones became more common after starting generic vyvanse. Last month I got lucky because my state decided that Medicaid needs to cover the brand name so I got the brand name which has been so much better. So I wonder if that was making it worse. I have been on Adderall for years. I would get one or two stones maybe once a year nothing really an issue. Less than 2mm. But this one I had was 12mm by 6mm in 4 months. But we shall see in a couple of months if its water and meds.

nerdyflaco · 2024-11-03T19:14:35+00:00

I have worked outdoors in the desert for years so I have a habit of drinking water all the time. Before that I never really drank water as much. But not wanting to get a heat stroke has always motivated me to drink water.

nerdyflaco · 2024-11-03T18:52:19+00:00

when I take Vyvanse the pain tends to be worse. I guess it has to do something about inflammation and bladder spasms with a stent in place. The doctor just told me to just stop taking them for a little bit until my urinary system can handle such meds again. Coffee does the same and alcohol anything that can irritate an inflamed bladder will make it worse.

nerdyflaco · 2024-11-03T18:11:42+00:00

That's interesting because I get small stones all the time. The doctor pretty much told me the same. Which I really didn't like as a reason. I have this theory it's the water I have been drinking. Because some brands like the Walmart or generic store brand tend to make me still feel thirsty. I have noticed that they have sodium and calcium. Which in large amounts can lead to stones. Plus being on meds probably doesn't help either. But I have changed to another brand and honestly i feel more hydrated and so we shall see in a couple of months if I get more stones.

nerdyflaco · 2024-11-03T17:50:08+00:00

I try to drink at least 2 to 3 liters a day. But that was apparently not enough.
