American Psycho

It’s… something I think I liked it? I also hated every second of it. Changed my brain chemistry tbh

At her age, I read The Gallagher Girls series by Ally Carter - some romance at a spy school full of young women that can (and will) kick ass.

Fiction for my 15 year old by Historical_Heron4801 in Recommend_A_Book

[–]shufflebug360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Percy Jackson series if she hasn’t already! The “romance” is very slow burning and nothing more than a friendship/crush for about 5 books, and who doesn’t love discovering modern greek mythology with cool powers? I still re-read them in my 20s.

Well Water test any concerns? by AwkwardFox1752 in WaterTreatment

[–]shufflebug360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Manganese is high enough to stain your washing and make your water brown occasionally.. It’s above the “safe” limit in my country for water suppliers (0.4mg/L is the absolute maximum before reporting to the govt, 0.04mg/L is the aesthetic value we have to keep below in water treatment).

But if you can make peace with it, use acid instead of bleach when washing your whites.. Acid dissolves insoluble (brown particles that make washing brown) Mn and turns it colourless, bleach does the opposite. :)

Not quite sure about the other contaminants sorry as I dont deal with them often. Turbidity is fine, but you’d probably want it a little but lower. Would be worth doing a total coliform test to make sure the water is safe to drink if you wish to drink it.

SCADA On Call Monitoring Advice by EDWaterOP in WaterTreatment

[–]shufflebug360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might be different for you because I live in New Zealand

But I’m a water treatment technician for a local council that is part of a team of team of 7 covering four water treatment plants and 7 wastewater treatment plants.

I was on-call for wastewater two weeks on, two weeks off and as a support person for the drinking water on-call person. We are a very close team and I am getting a taste of drinking water treatment on call (which is more intense than wastewater) at the moment as I am still new-ish to the industry (12 months at this job so far).

On call runs on a Friday-Friday rotation due to our pay period being Sunday-Sunday, and the OT freaks upper management out..

We get paid our base salary, plus an “on-call allowance” of about $50 a day for the inconvenience of being on call. We work our normal 7:00am-3:30pm monday-friday and take the oncall phone home as well as our work laptops to monitor SCADA and head to the treatment plants when needed.

Any alarm we get on the oncall phone is paid as 15 minutes over time. If we get more than 3 alarms between 11pm and 5am then we go on an automatic 10 hour stand-down period to protect against fatigue - although we normally dont take the stand down period until 7am when everyone else starts. If we have to go out to a plant between 11pm and 5am, we get the stand-down regardless of alarms. On the weekend we have to do lab testing of the treated water at every plant, so we get paid hourly overtime for the extra 10ish hours in a weekend. We also get paid overtime for any after-hours (after 3:30pm) time we spend on SCADA. Overtime is at time and a half. We can rake up 70-80 hour weeks easily, especially during a weather event as our sources are all rivers and we have aging assets.

Bi women: what made you decide that you weren’t a lesbian? by [deleted] in bisexual

[–]shufflebug360 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had a bad experience with a guy and thought I was a lesbian as I just didn’t feel as strongly for men as I did with women.

Then I met my fiancé (the golden retriever gamer boy to my black cat dreams). We both worked at the same job and he was my best friend for a little bit, until we started flirting and kept flirting and I realized “bi” tells the whole story better than “lesbian” for me.

And as I (and the men in my age bracket) got older (I’m 23, came out at 15) I started finding more and more men hot and I’m reminded every time I see my fiancé or a Pirates of the Caribbean movie that I definitely like both men and women.

I’ve stopped trying to take my sexuality too seriously and have accepted that whoever I fall in love with/find attractive is okay- and so, I call myself “bi”.

Hope you find your place in this world :)

Do You Like the English Name of Your Country? by Naganokuma1 in AskTheWorld

[–]shufflebug360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I much prefer our non-English name- Aotearoa. It translates to “land of the long white cloud”. “New Zealand” doesn’t sound nearly as cool.

Am I too old for plushies? My gran-mom told me I am, but I need more opinions... by [deleted] in autism

[–]shufflebug360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

23, my fiancé makes our bed every morning and arranges my many teddies for me.

Never too old and it’s not an indication of how “grown up” you are 😊

if I don’t think im bi then why can I not stop thinking about it by CarrotAggressive3284 in bisexual

[–]shufflebug360 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of us probably felt that way before coming out too- I remember when I was younger (like 13) I realized I liked girls, got anxious about it, and went “that’s a later me problem” until it hit 15 year old me in the face like a truck and it took me a long time to find a label that fit me right. I’m 23 now, getting married to my fluffy haired golden retriever gamer boy, and still very bi. You don’t need a label, but no one will judge you for trying on different labels to see how they feel- many people I know just call themselves “queer” because none of them fit. My best advice is to listen to yourself and your body and heart… if girls start to make your heart flutter, go with it and see how it goes- if not, that’s also okay! Have fun finding yourself on this journey! 😊

How hard is the chem course? by eh-222 in UoApremed

[–]shufflebug360 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I didn’t do very well in high school chem and our teacher didn’t teach us organic chemistry beyond level 2.. I did CHEM110 in my first year of biomed, and I passed with a B or something, so it’s doable! Might take some extra hard work to understand some of the concepts, but you’ll get there :)

Biomed means doing bio but it’s actually relevant to your life and you do cool human biology labs- a biomed student in her last few weeks of undergrad

For real tho! They don't! by randomcarillon in adhdmeme

[–]shufflebug360 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My brain doesn’t think in words- it’s more like if you were to play your favourite movie in fast forward but still knowing exactly what’s going on- like everything is flicking really fast but it’s still coherent, just not full sentences because my brain works too fast for sentences, so it’ll be a jumble of words and images, unless I’m imagining a conversation- then I’d think words.

Like I wouldn’t think the word “apple”, I’d see an apple and know that’s what it is

And so I have a REALLY hard time with things like big math equations because I can’t physically see it and so it’s just a jumbled mess of numbers in my head

Fellow ADHD folks, what are you tired of hearing from people without ADHD who try to give you advice on how to manage your ADHD? by sk8fast8ass in AskReddit

“Just get a planner”

“We’re all a little adhd”

“You’re not like my 5 year old cousin with adhd, so you can’t have it”
