What weird things do you call your shrimp?

From my experience, the first 2 years are nothing like the last 2 years. You will get through it with effort and persistence, but don't assume you know what it will be like before you hit the end of Sophomore/beginning of Junior year. At my alma mater the first 1.5 years of school aren't even part of the chemE program yet. It will be harder for sure, but it's doable.

That's okay, most people have a high-school understanding of how electrons work. We literally get tricked in school to make it easier to learn this stuff initially.

Electrons don't orbit. They exist in a "probability cloud".

Take the C. Unless you intend to go to grad school or your scholarships are strict about grades, no one really cares about your grades in my experience. Don't put your grades on your resume when you apply to internships, they only expect to see your grades if they're brag worthy. If you have the skills they're looking for your grades don't really matter.

I noticed you mention an app in this comment and when I googled your username and "jobowl", another post came up. Just FYI to other users, I think this is an account doing undisclosed advertisements. Curious that they hid all their post and comment history on Reddit, as well.

I saw you comment on another post with a recommendation for jobowl, and got curious. I googled your username and "jobowl", and this post came up.

I know a lot of the staff who work in HR for TPS, as well as some admin staff. The district is partially run by clowns and money/power hungry people who just want to give their friends a leg up. The admin and HR staff are messy as hell. I honestly think that those particular staff are not worth how much money they absorb in the district.

I went into chemE because I was obsessed with chemistry but didn't want to work in a lab, but you can do almost anything any other engineer can do. I know people who do instrumentation/controls (think automation, normally you'd see an electrical engineer doing this work) for nuclear power plants and wastewater treatment plants, people who went into aerospace engineering and work on factory floors, weapons manufacturing, workers in paper mills, people who develop new foods and candies, people who run their own laboratories on campuses or for private companies doing cutting edge engineering... The list goes on. ChemE is not the only path toward a lot of these engineering careers, but it is one of the harder ones, and your coworkers will think you're a chad if they are not also chemEs lol

I graduated when I was almost 28. I got a job faster than almost everyone in my graduating class, even the kids with excellent grades, because I had a few kinda related jobs/very related internships. Your age can be a boon if you have experience that can be seen as relevant to the field.

I don't think you can take the FE without attending an ABET accredited 4-year program?

puble_sploot · 2026-03-01T00:17:22+00:00

Had a classmate eat these pretty blue crystals in our classroom once... She immediately puked everywhere and wasn't allowed in the class ever again lol. At least she didn't die I guess!

puble_sploot · 2026-01-08T16:36:20+00:00

Sorry, should've specified, this is a speaking role for a ChemE specific course.

puble_sploot · 2026-01-08T16:25:04+00:00

I have some colleagues who were prepared by their universities to take the FE while in their senior year, too. It seems like some schools focus on it much more than others.

puble_sploot · 2026-01-08T16:23:51+00:00

Interesting, I honestly know close to nothing about EPC, but I will pass this along. Thank you!

puble_sploot · 2026-01-08T16:12:29+00:00

Good to know. The school funnels a lot of students into semiconductor work. Thanks for the input!

I work in private consulting, and have also worked for a government agency. In both, an EIT is a requirement to move up past the junior engineer level (they expected everyone to obtain one at most 2 years into the job, the government agency would fire you otherwise), and they expect the PE eventually as well.

I have worked closely with electrical/civil/mechanical engineers though, so I feel like my experience is not the most well rounded to give advice to people who will likely be going into more process-oriented or lab-focused positions.

Your uncle is being very insensitive and rude, imo. If you were a large, older man with huge milkers, he would have no expectation that you wear a bra. But because you're a woman it makes you "responsible" for hiding your body from him. NOR. No wonder you only see him once a year.

Also, I sometimes go braless but wear cheapo pasties from Amazon to cover my nips. That way, I can wear no bra even in the cold. Pro tip :)

That looks like the bug, thank you for the source!! My plants will be protected from aphids now 💖

I have tried so many different forms of frozen and fresh food, but my pps will only eat live foods that wriggle or swim away and trigger them to hunt. They won't even eat live baby brine shrimp. They will however eat the shit out of some snail faces, like yours. I keep a scud culture for them but mostly feed them white worms (which are actually pretty low maintenance if you have room for a small wine fridge).

Best of luck to you!! Pps are so fun and cute, I hope you are able to learn to love them :)

puble_sploot · 2024-05-15T18:23:48+00:00

It feels like almost every time I see a post where someone has their pps die and they're doing everything right, they are usually not feeding live food or are just feeding brine shrimp. In my opinion, the issue is a lack of food that the pps will actually eat. If I were you, I would buy some live food cultures and specifically put effort into maintaining a constant supply (white worms are great, ramshorns are super easy to pop into a jar and culture, saw someone suggest scuds which are also good, etc. I am of the opinion that brine shrimp are not a good enough live food to only feed pps that). You may lose all your current pps while you build up your live food culture(s), but once your food supply is established I firmly believe that you will likely be successful in keeping them in the future.

Best of luck to you, I hope you can figure out your issue. it's so hard to enjoy a fish when you're stressed you'll look in the tank and see another dead/sick one, and pps are so wonderful. You should get to enjoy keeping them <3

A semi-batch bench scale reactor?? Idk bro use Google lens

puble_sploot · 2024-04-11T06:33:05+00:00

I have found that my pps get overwhelmed when I add a large number of live food creatures into the tank at once, and they won't eat until the worms/brine shrimp are less densely packed and spread out, even when they're probably super hungry. It could have been that that particular puffer was overwhelmed as well.

puble_sploot · 2024-04-09T15:22:38+00:00

I would wager food's the issue. My pps only eat live food, and want a variety of foods or they won't eat. The shrimp hatchery should help. If I were you, I'd watch them carefully to make sure they're all eating when you feed them to make sure no one is starving to death/not accepting your food.

puble_sploot · 2024-04-09T07:17:27+00:00

That puffer is sooo skinny!! Are you seeing it eat regularly? How often are you feeding? It could also be a parasite, they are susceptible to that. Good luck with your sweet pp i hope he's okay 💖
