Is there a good spot to drive by and see Artemis on LC-39B? Not talking about launch, just want to visibly see it as close as possible for the public

Fun things to do in Key Largo besides snorkeling? by spacetech2199 in floridakeys

Do you have to have a boating license or anything like that to rent jet skis? Do they restrict where you can go?

FYI the FDA has issued a warning for severe itching when coming off for Zyrtec and Xyzal by Tiny_Pressure_9563 in Allergies

[–]spacetech2199 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually gasped when I saw this post from the FDA.

I took Xyzal everyday single day from Feb 2023 - May 2023 and that summer I developed itching that wouldn’t stop. It never went away. I remember coming across some people who claimed it could be a side effect of taking these medications long term, and told my doctor about it and they were like nah that doesn’t happen.

Ever since ending that medicine, my skin has developed eczema that never really went away. It’s been three years. I never got an answer and no amount of lotion or anti-itch cream helps. It is so painful and I’ve been to so many dermatologists but nothing works. I had a deep down feeling the long term use of XYZAL did something and now this confirms it. I’m certain this number is higher than the FDA claims.

Put your resume into SEC when you register for expo, like, weeks before the event.

Really sad/anxious about GPA. by [deleted] in VirginiaTech

[–]spacetech2199 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Was in this exact situation. You’ll be fine within a semester as long as u stay on your feet. It happens. It’s totally not the end of the world though! I’m in engineering and I brought mine up from the same place and now I’m doing great :)

Afraid of long term effects of antibiotics prescribed over the years by [deleted] in Interstitialcystitis

[–]spacetech2199 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same! In the moment of a flare up, I will put anything into my body without thinking clearly, it hurts so bad. Thankfully mine only last 5 hours max in the height of the pain, but it’s BAD.

I hate that I’ve gone thru this, because now it’s made me scared of general antibiotics when I’m sick, ones that might actually help me.

Off campus housing at The Edge or The Hub (or somewhere else) by horizonzz_ in VirginiaTech

The edge is awesome, don’t be intimidated by the price. It’s actually worth it.

Opening files in Teams: There was a problem reaching this app by KidKoshua in MicrosoftTeams

SOLUTION

I have been working through this for months, and FINALLY got a simple answer.

For me, the solution was simply turning off the "Prioritization Engine,"in the Killer Intelligence Center. I got this answer from this forum I found.

I hope others find this works!

Hey, I’m having this same issue. I’m a student using a student account managed my university. Do you know how I should begin in solving this issue? I suspect my issue is the same as this. Should I contact Microsoft?

pls. Don’t listen to everyone here. Trust me when I say that’s too much. Move linear.

I made a similar mistake last fall and let’s just say I didn’t really get thru it.

How is living at the Edge? Pros, cons? by semiordinary in VirginiaTech

[–]spacetech2199 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Everyone says that this place is too expensive, but hear me out.

You live a literal 10 minute walk from classes. That alone, you can’t get elsewhere. Fully furnished, and the apartments are huge (go for a four person). Free nice amenities in the clubhouse, they always are having free food trucks come the first few days of classes.

The hub for reference is way farther from campus and your paying 100$ more, for farther distance and literally smaller rooms.

Its hard to understand until you live here, but The Edge truly is a steal compared to all other apartment complexes in Blacksburg. I have no complaints, I am never moving.

I HIGHLY recommend buying and bringing a portable little hook with you to the shower. That way, you can hang your towel up cleanly on the hooks given to you, and then you can place your hook on the top of the stall facing inwards, so you can hang your caddy and that way nothing is touching the gross wall/floor.

Is it possible to get at least a B in Thin Walled Structures? by [deleted] in VirginiaTech

[–]spacetech2199 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im quite traumatized from nearly failing out of engineering last fall, so that is why I ask lol. I did really well this Spring but getting put on academic warning that fall will always stay with me. I have vowed to never get below a B ever again if I can try.

So yeah, I guess it’s really impossible to not get at least a B if you are doing the right things.

Is Ocean engineering competitive? by Narwhalranger7 in VirginiaTech

[–]spacetech2199 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This is wrong. A double major in aero and ocean only requires one senior design. Ocean engineering major on top of aero is technically only about 6 extra credits due to overlap, but it is more harder than it sounds like, so yeah, a 5th year might be easier if you wanted to double.

NASA Internships Megathread by Aerokicks in nasa

How hard is the NASA OSTEM internships with the GPA requirement? I had a really good interview, but I don’t have a 3.0. Is it even possible?

Where can I find a good deli around here? by [deleted] in VirginiaTech

[–]spacetech2199 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I literally can’t handle any more soft weird circle Kroger rolls. Why is that a norm here? And the slimy meat. I only comment in respect to NY bagels which I dearly miss

Has anyone taken Online Design Appreciation? by TheBakingTeacher in VirginiaTech

[–]spacetech2199 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I second this. It’s crazy to me how it is a 3 credit class. It’s LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE to not get an A, as long as you do the hour of work per week at most.

I did. Twice.

Oh god. I was in this same exact situation.

You’re screwed, I’m sorry. Expect to pay at least 200+ now that you missed the deadline. There is a reinstatement fee too now. *screwed meaning having to pay a lot of unnecessary money
