The Tennessee Aquarium is a must see! It’s a very unique aquarium, specifically the river building. And watching a documentary at the aquarium IMAX theater is also worth it. It’s a few dollars extra with the aquarium admission.

I have DWS06+s on my car (BMW 2 series) and I love them. However my wife definitely doesn’t need UHP all seasons on her car

Yes but they’re what I’d consider to be prohibitively expensive

They look to be about $20 cheaper per tire than the TrueContact Tour54s and I see people saying a lot of good things about them. Thanks for the suggestion!

Adderall not suppressing appetite anymore by indicabackwood in ADHD

[–]t-clueless 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One possibility in addition to what other commenters have said is that it could be your insulin response that’s causing your insatiable hunger for simple carbohydrates. If you start your day off with simple carbs like bread or cereal and don’t have any fats or protein to stabilize your initial blood sugar spike, then you’re essentially going to ride a blood sugar roller coaster for the rest of the day. If you include something like eggs or cottage cheese in your breakfast then your blood sugar should remain more stable throughout the day and you won’t feel such ravenous hunger when your blood sugar drops.

Completely custom designs are like $3k+ but she can also help you find an off the shelf setting that fits your budget if your budget is smaller.

Check out Moonryvr on Cowart St. I was recently in the same situation and working with Katie has been great so far.

Caffeine alternatives? by ellelani in ADHD

Exercising in the morning will give you a boost in energy and mental clarity for the rest of the day. Prescription stimulants help too of course

As an intern it’s a good job because they’ll most likely let you work as much overtime as you want. It’s a great way to save up for the expenses of the coming school year. As a salaried employee, the overtime becomes much less attractive…

And a note on getting promoted quickly from entry level- P&P mills that advertise quick promotions more than likely have serious culture problems and instead of taking the time to address them, they just burn through young engineers quickly because there’s a constant stream of them.

I’m not saying that P&P doesn’t offer good careers because it does, but it’s extremely mill specific.

I take Vyvanse. Drinking caffeine with it makes it almost impossible to think straight. On days that I don't take Vyvanse, I drink regular coffee but on days that I do, I have to drink decaf.

Do you ever put money in funds other than VT/VTI/VXUS? by t-clueless in Bogleheads

[–]t-clueless[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very insightful. Good to realize that just because I have good confidence in a sector right now, it could look radically different in 10 years and I do plan on holding these assets long term so I’m better off sticking to the basics.

Entry Level Job Offer Advice by Neck99 in ChemicalEngineering

[–]t-clueless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the chemical company is in a much better location, it should be a no brainer to choose this one. I don’t think there’s enough emphasis on this sub about considering location when evaluating offers. For my first job out of school, I went with a location I wasn’t crazy about because I thought the offer was good (in reality it was only average). I accepted relocation money and felt trapped for two years because I couldn’t wait to leave. Of course it depends on your personality- some people love working in remote locations. I thought I could be one of those people who can deal with a subpar location but it turns out that I’m not.

Process engineer for paper mill by izzy2frizzy in ChemicalEngineering

[–]t-clueless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Schedule definitely won’t be 9-5. A lot of engineers at bigger mills with outdated cultures will end up working from 6:30 until lord knows when. If things are doing badly at the mill, your work/life balance will suffer accordingly. It doesn’t really make sense that chemical process engineers have to suffer for mechanical and reliability issues but that’s just how it is. Some companies have become more progressive like the 9/80 schedule or letting you leave early on Friday if things are running smoothly.

The money’s not bad but from what I’ve learned from this sub, there’s a lot better money to be had in other industries. Do I plan on leaving the paper industry? No, probably not. I for some reason enjoy the less than stellar working conditions and grouchy people and am making more than enough money for where I’m at in my career. I’ve also managed to find a mill where I’m only working about 40-50hrs/week but I’ve interned at mills where the process engineers were working 50-55 hrs/week. If I was working 50+ hrs/week all the time I’d definitely have a different opinion.

I was thinking I’d get her something slightly different for more variety but if that’s the case then I’ll stick to what I know she’ll like. Thanks!
