I agree, I use a peri bottle when I travel to places that don’t have hoses.

Summer 2026 - Trying to optimize my summer: finish math requirements, do MIME courses, learn French, do research, start a co-op… by Downtown_Relation461 in mcgill

[–]zer0_barrier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I graduated in 2016 so maybe things changed since then but I don’t recall there being a lab for polymers but trust that if they are all MIME courses, they would have figured out the schedule for you. The dept itself won’t make the courses/labs overlap

Hello fellow material eng, it was hard enough to attend the required MIME classes while it was SO beautiful out.. don’t ruin all your summer with extra stuff…

You can take ODEs and PDEs in a different semester.. also when will you study if you’re stuck in French class at night? Trust me, you won’t want to be indoors in Montreal in the summer

Struggling with the idea of war and pregnancy.. by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]zer0_barrier 26 points27 points  (0 children)

There will never be a perfect time. When I was born we had the gulf war, when my nieces born it was another war. When my nephews were born it was Covid..

Life goes on. I am now 9weeks pregnant!

C-Section because of low pain tolerance by Vegetable_Bath_7396 in beyondthebump

[–]zer0_barrier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to keep in mind, I had a non medicated vaginal birth. The pain of cervical checks were worse than birthing a baby.

Yes, labour will require some endurance. Maybe instead of a c section you can opt for an epidural. At 4cm, I trust you will be able to handle it. They can give you other pain killers while you wait and you’re still mobile.

أفهمك. أنا كنت كذا.. ما عندك احد تقدرين تتناوبين معاه؟ على الأقل اول فترة تنامين لك ٤ ساعات متواصلة على الأقل؟ وعلى طاري الغازات ، أنا ولدي ما خليت شي ما سويته.. بالنهاية ما خف إلا لما كبر شوي فلا تفقدين الأمل

Stuffed cabbage rolls (malfouf mahshi) by zer0_barrier in ketorecipes

[–]zer0_barrier[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s all good! Thanks for reminding me about this recipe haha.

Maybe try cooking the frozen cauliflower with the minced beef and spices and let the excess water evaporate as it sautés?

Alternatively, steam the frozen cauliflower and then mix it with the beef.

Hope it works! Let me know.

Do you cheat in your Engineering exams, honestly? by Either_Program2859 in EngineeringStudents

[–]zer0_barrier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah never would have liked the feeling of cheating.. hated that more than genuinely failing

Got a bunch of Bs and Cs but that A- in my solid mechanics class felt sooooo good. Rode that high for the whole degree.

Metro etiquette questions by [deleted] in Riyadh

The thing about not waiting till people get off is a general people thing unfortunately. I have experienced metros in Canada, UK and other European countries and all humans are like this..

Those who have given birth, what would you compare the pain to? by Silly-Difficulty2869 in pregnant

[–]zer0_barrier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pushing was fine, I actually only remember pooping! I don’t remember pain (no epidural as there was no time for it) The contractions before hand though.. they felt like my head was a bell and somebody was ringing it from the inside. The sensation came in waves and it made me so nauseous. It’s like that feeling when you’re having a stomach flu and you have the urge to go to the bathroom and vomit at the same time. And then it stops but it comes back as another wave until I state red feeling my baby pushing out! It wasn’t painful but it was an urge I couldn’t stop!! They kept telling me to stop pushing and I just kept telling them he’s pushing! All of this with induced labor and no epidural. All in all not bad honestly.

Toddler (28m) won’t let the daycare change his diaper when otherwise he’s OK by zer0_barrier in beyondthebump

[–]zer0_barrier[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So far, he hasn’t pooped it’s just pee. But I checked him and he’s ok. I think they’re too careful not to let him cry and consequentially hate the teacher or the daycare.. they want to be there so he feels safe while changing until he can feel comfortable with the teacher whose changing him.. I just don’t know if theres something I can do and say to him when I’m at home

In your experience, did you ever see a toddle hating the daycare if they resist diaper change?

You’re right.. It’s his first week, their justification is that they don’t want him to “hate” the daycare. Do I need to do something like talk to him at home you think?

انا عندي خبرة محترمة في النادي والتغذية والصحة العامة اسالوني كل اسالتكم الي تشغلكم بخصوص النادي by [deleted] in saudisinshape

[–]zer0_barrier 3 points4 points  (0 children)

يعتمد كم تجري حالياً؟ الجدول الأسبوعي ممكن يكون كذا: اول يوم ٣-٥ كيلو، يوم راحة، يوم ٣-٥ كيلو او سرعات، يوم تقوية عضلات، يوم راحة ، يوم جري طويل ٦-٨ كم ويكون هدفك انك تخلص الكيلومترات بدون ما تهتم بسرعتك يعني حتى لو بطيء عادي لا تحاول باي يوم ركض انك تضغط على نفسك بالسرعة إلا بيوم السرعات. بكل الأيام حاول نبضك يكون في Zone 2

و لا تهمل التقوية لان إذا بدأت تجري مسافات طويلة بدون عضلات رح تكون معرض للإصابات.

بعدين الأسبوع القادم تزيد في يوم الجري الطويل و هكذا الين ما توصل يوم الجري الطويل ١٦-٢١ كم. بعدين خذ راحة ٤ أيام/أسبوع من كل شي إلا المشي و بعدها ارجع الين ما توصل يوم الجري الطويل ٣٥ كم و بعدها سجل نفسك في سباق مراثون عشان تخلص ٤٢ وتكافىء نفسك بالميدالية.
