I actually didn't mind my chem and physics classes. C++, on the other hand, knocked my dick in real good and I had to take it twice to bump my 1.0 up to a 3.0.

But as manufacturing began to wane here it developed into logistics as well, think FedEx delivering a zillion packages with a thousand distribution centers and a trucks/planes Now its kind of like business engineering, there are even entrepreneurship courses where we had to develop a full business plan. A lot of other disciplines call us "Imaginary Engineers" because its basically having an engineering background so you can quickly understand and improve standard processes regardless of industry, we dont really make anything tangible....except money

Not gonna lie, I celebrated like Bluto Blutarsky when I got a D in our 200 level chem engineering course. F yeah, never thinking about that again. Of course that was my sophomore year when I was realizing college was much harder than HS and I couldn't get stoned and do crosswords during class

It’s not ideal at all. We did go a couple times for a long weekend in September, which wasn’t too bad. Once was when the Pope came to Philly. Lots of Philly people were down there that weekend.

My wife is a teacher too so we’ve only gone in the summer. She loves Disney World so we take our kids every couple years. We went one year on my wife’s birthday in the middle of August and it was insanely hot. I’ll never do that again.
April 22, 20232 yr Last time I was in Disney World was a trip starting the day after the Phillies won the WS. Made the entire thing tolerable. A gazillion fist bumps with people in Phils gear and even several spontaneous Eagles chants. As for Chemistry, yeah it ****s. I took the two early weed out classes with all the pre-med and wanna be pre-med types. Used it as my science requirement as part of my CompSci/Math degree. Could have just done the kiddy chem instead to fulfill the requirement but that wasn’t how I rolled. B in one class but a tough C in the Organic Chem class. Both blew chunks.

Of course that was my sophomore year when I was realizing college was much harder than HS and I couldn't get stoned and do crosswords during class We only had to take a 100 level chem. Had to take 200 level physics, which I was not a fan of either. 2 physics classes in college and both professors I had seemed incapable of actually teaching physics. They were smart no doubt, but didn't know how to actually TEACH the subject. Classes were typically maybe 1/3 full. I ended up going to class and would just read out of our class textbook and take notes on what I was reading, as that was more productive than listening to the lecture.

My wife works with a bunch of bio-mechanical engineers. When she told them her husband is an engineer, and they asked what type, and she said Civil, their response was, "oh....so not a real engineer then".

Quote In its email to parents, three district administrators say student privacy laws prohibit them from getting into the details of the incident but said a Fox News story about it provides neither an accurate nor complete account of the events that occurred,” and said the district had previously addressed the incident and said "steps have been taken to ensure that it does not recur.” Quote WILL spokesperson Erin Voelkel said the firm is declining to release the names of the freshmen "at this time” but provided a screen shot of an email from Sun Prairie East Principal Renee Coleman that appears to reference the incident and reportedly included a district policy on the use of bathrooms and locker rooms by transgender students. "Let me reiterate that the situation your daughter was in should not have happened, and we will continue to work to ensure no one has a similar experience,” she said .

April 25, 20232 yr Author Still simply in awe of how quickly libs fully embraced the idea of feeding puberty blockers to minors just because the tv told them to. They truly are the dumbest people on the planet.

I didn’t buy sheet, I’m not the one making judgments and getting my panties in a bunch on incomplete information from a tweet. Maybe you missed the part where the privacy of the students is why the SD can’t say more. Let’s see what the parents have to say, or not.
April 26, 20232 yr Author Imagine how disgusting and sick you have to be to support "gender affirming care" for minors. And yet, every single democrat whole-heartedly supports it, and if some state tries to ban it they'll say that they are genociding trans people. So are they just completely stupid or evil or both? My money's on both.
