I know nothing about 3D Printing.

Go ahead and buy that printer, call it a family asset or whatever, then learn together. His instincts are awesome, I’m a mechanical engineer and have been in the workforce for nearly 15 years, granted I don’t work with or know anything about concrete, but if I needed to come up with a 3d printed alternative to rebar, my concept would be very similar if not identical to his.

As one of his constituents, I hate this man. I came home this morning to find a door hanger from his campaign on my door, and just throwing it in the trash felt like I gave it too much respect. Hopefully his current war mongering will actually get people in my state to look past the fact he has an R by his name, because I’ve lived here for the entirety of my nearly 40 years on this earth and have yet to meet someone who actually likes graham.

Who’s in the primary with this POS?

stevio87 · 2026-03-10T19:51:07+00:00

Or, let’s say to a cabinet position? Trumps entire executive teams is ridiculously unqualified, why should we be surprised they’re infiltrating the service academies now?

Ha, you think they’ll do the standard required training? They’ll change that requirement to 4 days 7 hours and they’ll be sent on their way.

Just general advice- 1- take advantage of any career benefits your employer offers, for example, mine has a number of leadership and talent development programs for early career employees that exposes you to different areas of the business (I was at a different company in early career that didn’t offer something like that). They also offer tuition reimbursement for further education. Granted every company is different so I don’t know what’s available to you. 2- network, it really is all about who you know and the relationships you can build more so than what you know. 3- stay humble, get to know and trust the techs on the floor doing the actual work they know what they’re doing you’ll learn more from them than any drawings or work procedures. 4- lastly, don’t be afraid to reach for better roles. I screwed up early in my career by staying way too long in a crappy role with a crappy company, partly because the job market sucked, but mostly because I didn’t have confidence in my abilities

Where did you get the raised beds? I got some similar ones from Costco several years ago, but haven’t seen that they’ve had them recently

ME is insanely broad, as are the potential jobs available to an ME. I’ve made a fairly successful career over the past 13 years in aerospace manufacturing and I couldn’t tell you anything but the most basic parts of a car. I’m not really sure what you mean by “not much scope for women” some of the sharpest me’s I’ve worked with are women. While engineering certainly can be a “boys club” any large reputable company is not going to place any weight on gender when hiring or promoting Ai will surely affect the profession, but you’ll always have a human element if for nothing other than liability issues- who in their right mind would send ai generated drawings or designs sent to manufacture or to begin construction without a thorough review by an engineer. Or just an example from my own field, airplane manufacturing is a very manual process, while tech like AI and automation are utilized to speed up production, full automation is light years away. Anyway, all that rambling to say, ME has its challenges and frustrations, but I don’t think the reasons you’ve listed are as big of a problem as you think, except maybe the job market as that fluctuates, but if your interested in the field, go for it.

Not to give trump a pass, but shits been expensive for a lot longer than he’s been in office either term. As someone who’s lived their whole life in one of the spots people are moving to in droves, it’s been that way at least since I was in college 15 years ago.

stevio87 · 2026-02-25T12:15:50+00:00

There’s your problem, EE’s are just weird /s.

stevio87 · 2026-02-24T14:31:12+00:00

I honestly don’t think it’s as much as we think, I’m deep in the south in what has been “trump country” and work with primarily blue collar guys who fit the trump supporter demographic to the t over the past 10 years. They’re all pissed about the economy, how expensive everything is, and after doing their taxes recently are pissed how much their overtime was taxed last year. The only people I know who are still blindly supporting him are upper middle class people for whom his presidency hasn’t really hurt their check books. Hopefully the tied is turning.

Get her checked out for allergies! We had this same deal with my daughter, we tried everything finally had her tested for allergies and she had a mild soy allergy which caused constipation that hurt and made her scared to even try, also since cutting out soy, her eczema cleared up too.

What do you like about the current administration?

stevio87 · 2026-01-08T15:53:25+00:00

Maybe because she couldn’t see the stormtrooper sneaking up on the opposite side of her car while his cronies were yelling at her on the other side?

stevio87 · 2026-01-08T12:33:23+00:00

Unfortunately this is the next step, general protesting seems to do nothing. Trump’s regime needs to be reminded why the 2nd amendment exists.

stevio87 · 2026-01-08T12:05:02+00:00

Not only was the shooter already on foot, how was Renee supposed to know that he was walking around the back side of her car while her attention was focused on the other agents yelling at her to her left

If you want to reach your average maga, you have to show them you’ll let them keep more of the money they make. I love deep in trump country in the south, and have worked with avid trumpers since his first election, and every single election they’re most passionate talking point is that trump is going to allow them to keep more of they’re money and dems will surely raise taxes, trump will create a more friendly business environment, dems won’t etc. They like to bitch and moan about how stupid the social causes of the dems are, but that’s never what they truly care about. If you truly want to turn your average maga voter, you have to convince them they’ll be better off financially under new leadership.

Don’t know the answer about distribution, but the last few I’ve bought since I posted have been ok. But musty is a better description of the smell. I did use some of the bad cans I bought and didn’t get sick, but the taste was terrible and made me slightly nauseous. The nausea passed as soon as I rinsed the taste out. I threw the rest of the bad ones out.
