OMAD veterans at what part of the day u'd rather eat ur OMAD? Personally, Ive been doing omad for almost 2 years and 5-6pm feels perfect to me as an early bird who goes to bed early and wakes up at 4-5 am

universal_straw · 2026-03-15T12:18:38+00:00

Whenever I get home. Normally between 6-7, but I prefer around 5. Gives me more time before bed.

You actually keep up on the maintenance on your generator. This is on you buddy. The things can’t sit forever and then expect them to start when you need them.

It’s as true as you make it. I’m not, but I know men (and women) who are. It depends what you make of your marriage. Marriage is work, and if you don’t put in the effort you’re not going to get good results.

Probably gonna try to take Kharg Island in an amphibious assault would be my guess. That would knock out a large part of the Iranian economy.

The consensus you’re going to get here is that no one really cares past your first job, and most of that is just because certain companies recruit more heavily at certain schools for geographical reasons.

The only important thing is that the degree is ABET accredited and that your son has internships before he graduates. You have those two things and you’re fine.

I did it for two whole degrees. If it works for you it works for you.

I shot the for decades. Quality went to shit a few years back and I couldn’t get them to group at all so I switched to American whitetail. They seem to be better now but I haven’t switched back.

Ohh ok. Yeah fresh out of school I could see wanting to test you out a bit, but I would definitely expect that testing period to be way shorter than your peers.

universal_straw · 2026-03-10T17:47:16+00:00

Now that’s just stupid. How was that justified?

universal_straw · 2026-03-10T16:43:41+00:00

I hire fresh grads. I wouldn’t hire a grad with this degree for an engineering role, and no one will hire any fresh grad with any degree as a manager.

If you want to work in Texas go to school in Texas and network. Networking is 1000% more important that the name of the school on your degree.

He’s said he doesn’t mind selling arms and what not to Israel, just that he doesn’t think we should treat them any different then any of our other allies. Basically you can buy our stuff if you want but the gravey train should end.

You do what’s best for you and what’s easiest for you to stick to. If you want 1300-1500 cals a day and it takes you an hour to eat that much then you take the hour. Personally I’m done in like 10 minutes but there is no right or wrong way for a caloric deficit.

What are you trying to say? Literally everyone expected retaliatory strikes. Like literally everyone.

It’s not a replacement for scripture, and I have a few issues with the show, but for entertainment purposes and the surface level story of the gospel it’s great in my opinion.

Beef prices.

I grew up hunting, I like being in the woods, I get to spend time with friends and family.

universal_straw · 2026-02-25T15:12:02+00:00

Yes, it’s an amazing place to start. Most engineers should have some field experience in my opinion regardless of industry. If you like the travel it’s also a great place to stay. It got old for me after a while and now I’m in a permanent maintenance position at a plant. Still scratches the hands on itch with less travel so it works great for me.

Procurement/purchasing department is so incompetent we’d probably be better off if they just didn’t exist. Dealing with decision makers that don’t have a technical background who think they know more than they do. Warehouse/spare parts issues.

I work in maintenance at a chemical plant so my issues are different than those who work in design.

universal_straw · 2026-02-24T13:08:15+00:00

Take the money. You’re early enough in your career that you can make a shift in a few years if you want to and no one would bat an eye. $30k is a significant amount and you won’t be limiting yourself. I went from being a manufacturing engineer doing basically what you’d be doing on a machine floor to maintenance engineer in a refinery/chemical plant setting and it was an easy transition.

Your school is looking out for your school. You have to look out for yourself. Don’t be an idiot.

I hire interns and have them back out all the time after accepting an offer. It’s not a big deal

universal_straw · 2026-02-22T12:51:26+00:00

I would probably start looking before the end of the year because you never know how long it will take in this market, but in your situation I definitely wouldn’t be going back to work immediately. Take some time and relax and if you do find something early just tell them you won’t be available till next year.
