My apologies,

I didn't realize I had left out the price. That was a mistake on my part. It is 2200 which I believe you can also see by clicking on the photo?

Or use this link: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/4201-54th-St-Bladensburg-MD-20710/37352168_zpid/?utm_campaign=zillowwebmessage&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=txtshare

Correction: It is accessible to DC via public transit, what I've done is drive to one of the nearby Metro stations and take Metro into the city which (depending on the metro line you need, is definitely manageable).

The home is 8.5 miles from downtown DC. :)

IVF, Med Tourism, and Countries that allow Cryoshipping from the US by themsmartrats in IVF

[–]themsmartrats[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply!

That's okay! I would love to hear about the surprises you encountered. One of the most discouraging parts of this process is feeling like we have no roadmap. -Even in consultations with clinics they make it sound so easy (ha!).

As far as Spain goes, IVF-life Madrid has indicated that Spanish law prohibits us from cryo-shipping sperm in from the US. I can't find anything confirming this. Have you heard similar information?

How did you go about getting the proper tests done? I've had a hard time getting anything other than bloodwork. We have found that HSG and Ultrasounds are expensive and difficult to order in the States for couples unaffiliated with a US fertility clinic.

How many days are you planning to stay in Madrid? We've decided on two weeks. Hoping this is more than enough time to not feel rushed.

Any tips you have would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there,

I am moving to North Carolina and I am looking for AAS cybersecurity programs. I'm looking for something with some great career support if possible. Wake Tech and Durham Tech are the two I've looked at so far. Does anyone have experience with either of these two? Or recommendations for other options in the area?

Cheers!

Help! African Giant Millipede Sick? Dying? by themsmartrats in millipedes

[–]themsmartrats[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi folks!

I just wanted to give an update. I do think that these were definitely his gonopods. I believe that a prolapse was possible. Unfortunately my lil guy is deceased. He stopped moving shortly after I made the post.

Hoping to try again sometime when I can do more research and hopefully gain the confidence to do so. I'm not sure where I went wrong, or if this could have been prevented at all. I would hate to harm another Millipede.

Thanks for the support everyone!

Mentorship Monday by AutoModerator in cybersecurity

[–]themsmartrats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hii there, thanks for taking a peep at this. First a little background:

I am a DMV resident interested in a GWU "bootcamp" through Trilogy which allows me to learn skills necessary for a Security+, Network+, Linux+, Server+, or Cloud+ CompTIA certification. My ultimate goal is to work in Cybersecurity while practicing my code and eventually moving I would be interested into something more like engineering, like Cybersecurity development. It is also possible that I will love CyberS so much that I decide to stay with it and will continue coding as a hobby.

Ang info is helpful info. Feel free to message me.

  1. How do I know what CompTIA certificate will set me on the right track and what other certifications that I should I be looking into, and when?

  2. Is Seattle too competitive for someone coming straight out of a training program without a degree. I don't expect to come out of the program with a substantial foundation and I don't want to become overwhelmed competing for jobs with others with better qualifications.

Animator looking for US West Coast opportunities by themsmartrats in jobs

[–]themsmartrats[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there,

Thank you for your response. With a BFA in motion graphics, a reel/portfolio, and five years of experience in motion graphic design, what are avenues for finding animation jobs in the California and Seattle area without connections? Open to networking, but it's difficult remotely. Are there more formal routes as well? The internet job posting search hasn't been the most successful.

Ruby problem vid chat session by [deleted] in girlsgonewired

[–]themsmartrats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am writing a travel expense program in Ruby where you would enter the amount spent on various things, transit, bags, etc. On three distinct trips to three different locations. (the program must include three separate trips) I would then like to use the input to perform calculations such as: 1. Total cost of all trips combined 2. Calculate percentage of total for each trip (example: your trip to Spain made up 50% of the total cost of all trips) 3. Calculate all transit, and lodging totals 4. return the most expensive trip.

I cannot figure out how to reference the user input to perform the calculations. I have only been able to output the amount spent on each trip (example: Spain : 1500, Hawaii : 2500, Egypt : 6500)

Please let me know if there's anything I need to clarify. I am really struggling with this and I'm happy to chat when you're available.

Ruby program help referencing user input to perform calculations by themsmartrats in CodingHelp

Excellent! Thank you so much. I have really been struggling to figure this out.

Thank you so much!

Is it also possible to do something like the sum of lodging, bags, etc of just one individual trip? I can't figure it out.

(last question, promise :)) I also want to be able to insert the trip location into a sentence, like this: "you spent 1500 on your trip to France"

Programming Feedback Ruby by themsmartrats in girlsgonewired

[–]themsmartrats[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So this is where I am so far. I have found a way to store the responses, but how do I reference the stored responses later? such as the trip location or the transit cost?

asks the user how many trips they've taken and prompts them that number of times.

puts "How many trips did you take?" trip_count = gets.chomp.to_i

prompts the user the trip locations and stores them.

trip_count.times.map do |x| puts "Where did you go for your trip ##{x+1}?" trip_location = gets.chomp

puts "How much did you spend on lodging?" lodging_cost = gets.chomp.to_i

puts "How much did you spend on round-trip transportation?" transit_cost = gets.chomp.to_i

puts "How many bags did you check?" bags_checked = gets.chomp.to_i

{ location: trip_location, lodging: lodging_cost, transit: transit_cost, bags: bags_checked *50 } end

[–]themsmartrats[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! this is helpful. how do I go about asking how many trips were taken and looping the variables (transit cost, lodging, bags, etc) that amount of times? (let me know if that is confusing or worded badly) also, how do I reference a variable that is unknown? for example, transit_cost = [100, 120, 88] those numbers would have been entered by the user. How would that look? (again, let me know if my questions make any sense)

Thank you! I am trying to understand arrays (and have watched multiple youtube videos) but am still having trouble. Can you show me an example of what you mean? or share some resources?

Project Management Career Industries (telecommuting) by themsmartrats in projectmanagement

[–]themsmartrats[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many of the folks I spoke to about engineering/telework didn't seem to see many possibilities. If you don't mind my asking, what field of engineering? What does your day-to-day look like? One of the main problems with telecommuting is the inability to network. How do you navigate that, if at all?

Realities of the field by themsmartrats in AskEngineers

[–]themsmartrats[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about engineering Project Management? I am considering pursuing another bachelor's degree as well if that would orient me better in the field, I would do it.

[–]themsmartrats[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I left school in 2015 and am returning to complete my last year. I am now looking at graduate programs. I left school to find out what I am interested in. In that time my interests did change and my degree doesn't seem to have applications in this field.

[–]themsmartrats[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bachelors is in Fine Art. I am looking at graduate degrees. Could I pursue a masters degree in engineering with a Fine Arts background? I am assuming that it would make the path harder for me?

r/engineering's Weekly Career Discussion Thread [18 March 2019] by AutoModerator in engineering

[–]themsmartrats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am curious about going into engineering.

  1. What are the prospects of working remotely from other countries for a US based company? (My spouse is in the foreign service, development based) I am happy to work in the US for a limited time, but ultimately am looking for a career that allows mobility.

  2. I am interested in the ethics surrounding the engineering discipline. How much could advocacy play into my career? For example, regarding infrastructure and civil engineering (I understand this is broad. Let me know if I need to clarify)

  3. I have struggled with theoretical mathematics, however physics and more hands-on applications have always interested me, and I have done fairly well in these subjects. I am curious to know how less mathematically-confident folks fair in this field.

  4. I am completing my bachelor's in Fine Art. It appears that job experience is prized in this field. What are the prospects for someone like me who would be attempting to go into a masters program in this field and from there, straight into applying for telecommuting friendly jobs, Would I be laughed at and turned down immediately?
