[TX] Overqualified...? I’m not sure how being overqualified can eliminate you from getting a job. If someone applied, it means they want the job, no matter their experience or education.

You cost too much to employ. That's always been my takeaway. Being over qualified means you have a very good grasp of what is required of you so they can't ask you to do any and everything that they normally would of someone new to the work force or little experience.
You've received insight about why companies shy away from old, I mean "overqualified" candidates. As for how to avoid it - adjust the resume to the position. They don't need to know about a master's, or under-state what you did. Leave off entry level experience.

I mean… trains weigh millions of pounds lol
Trains are heavy. It takes a lot of power to accelerate that mass at an acceptable rate. There's a limit on how much power you can make for a given displacement. Therefore to move a big train, you need a big engine.

If your pet is sick and you take them to the vet and it’s an ongoing issue, insurance won’t cover it because it will be considered a pre-existing condition. If you do get insurance, don’t determine which insurer based solely on price. Cheaper insurance covers less and has more exclusions.

You can justify it any way you want, but it is still stealing. If you find "nothing wrong" with that, then you are of course free to make your own decisions. BTW, I'm not judging you on this. I've done it myself, but I don't try to make moral justifications about it.

If the bolt was left out, the caliper would have shifted as soon as you hit the brake pedal. Leaving the bolt in, but not tight would loosen the bolt with every pedal press until it fell out. Aside from that, it’s not actually illegal to make mistakes. So, legally, they don’t owe you anything aside from what you orig...

A little balsamic vinegar in whipped cream is amazing! Especially if your pavlova has some strawberries in it. I have an espresso balsamic that I got from a fancy shop and it is amazing in whipped cream but I have done it with reg balsamic too. Start with a bit and taste as you go
Try eggnog whipped cream, it’s so good! Add nutmeg and sub vanilla with rum extract.

HR can’t do anything legally, so ok they fire her for something frivolous, then what, she has more time to do this? Go to the police and file a harassment complaint. It may not do anything right now, but you want a record should this escalate. Beyond that literally ignore her, tell your friends and family what’s goi...

Can I use watered down heavy cream instead of whole milk? So heavy cream is 36% fat and whole milk is 3.25%. For example, if I needed 11 oz of whole milk in a recipe, could I just use 1 oz heavy cream and 10 oz of water?

depends what you're making. In bread, it's the protein in the milk that's useful and not the fat.
I usually dilute by 2 parts water to 1 part cream to substitute for whole milk.

I found this on a google search: The Basic Rule: Inheritances Aren't Taxed as Income. An inheritance can be a windfall in many ways—the inheritor not only gets cash or a piece of property, but doesn't have to pay income tax on it. Someone who inherits a $500,000 bank account doesn't have to pay any tax on that amount....

People like Jocelyn Wildenstein who get repeated and extreme plastic surgery often have body dysmorphia disorder, where they have a warped perception of themselves. They often obsess over certain "desirable" features (as determined by society) like big lips, small noses, pronounced cheekbones, etc. And every time the...
This is what I always say for people who get plastic surgery...they don't look their age but they do look 'done'! Jennifer Aniston to Katie Price. Big pillowy faces. I think it's just stretching the skin and pumping lots of shit in.

I'm in intro to quantum mechanics, using Griffiths. I've been reading the text and still feel unprepared for the questions. What's the best book to supplement Griffiths with so that I can answer the questions? I'm considering Zettili, but if there are better suggestions I'll try it.

In my experience, "we'll give you a raise/promotion in x months" always means they are not giving you anything and want to keep you around longer. Find another job now and get your raise that way.
Sorry pal, you're hosed. If they thought you were performing at the right level, they would promote you. Ask your boss what you need to do to meet the requirements, other than the three year thing as you can't move time. If you could move time, well, they would probably make you CEO.

Using a basic rum ball recipe, you can vary the alcohol used as well as the type of cookie crumbs.

With the bourbon ones I use...
Soak raisins, or even just oats to capture the rum. Then use a no bake cookie recipe (most likely using chocolate to encapsulate everything together) to avoid getting rid of the alcohol.

Dealerships make WAY more off of their service departments than they do off of new car sales. Anything they can do to make the repair take a little bit longer increases the labor charge and therefore the profit and overhead the dealership makes increases.
A serious part of this is how vehicle engineering has changed in the past 20 years. The powertrain is modular and engineered largely independently of the vehicle the powertrain goes in. With vehicle development schedules shrinking, there's less time to go back and change this type of stuff. Program start to ok to sell ...

Not a chance. Maths is the one subject I could be entirely confident of failing dismally. Almost everything I do is numerical analysis.
I'm a mechanical/electrical engineer that does a reasonable amount of reasonably complex math. My son is studying aerospace systems engineering. He asked for help with his 1st year maths. Nothing. My ability was the limitation but I think set math practice problems are different to real world applied math. At least th...

Automation is your best friend if you want to bring manufacturing back to the US. You won't be able to compete on labor price with China or other 3rd world countries. Automation allows you to make labor a small(er) part of the production cost.
It would be hella difficult. It would take decades. So not really feasible. I am both a native English and Chinese speaker, I work in Asia for an American company, and I work extensively with both Chinese and American teams, so maybe I have some perspective here. Engineering design talent and know how wise, I wouldnt...

This is a social awareness thing that you seem to need to develop more of and I genuinely don't say this as an insult, for what it's worth!).

Religion and politics are heated topics with strong views that are often core to the identity of the individual. And are not light subjects. A party is about hanging out, having a good time and taking a load off. This completely antithetical to the idea of discussing religion and politics. Many if not most people CAN...

Yeah, every 3 years or so it’s probably best to move if you want a significant raise. Some companies will hook you up, many won’t
I switched jobs after 2 years and got a 20k raise then got an interview shortly after that gave me a 10k raise so it's certainly doable. The nice thing about having a job is that looking for other jobs is something you can do "for fun" rather than having pressure to do something. Some employers care if you job hop thou...

Body alignments used to have just one hole that was mouth and butt. When body plans got more complex so that there was a nutrient hole and a waste hole, it makes sense for those to not be neighbors. It does make more sense for the things that see and sense to be closer to the hole for nutrients than the hole for waste....

Yes. Most of my coworkers have other things they like to do outside of work. Also it's actually much healthier to view a job as a job. If you let your job define who you are, it becomes difficult separate from the job when the time comes. And believe me, the time will come whether you like it or not.
Yup. I own a firm and this is my attitude about it. There's more to life than just working away at the PC all day. Be a human that does engineering, rather than an engineer who occasionally does things on the side that remind them they're human.

Companies will gladly hire any type of engineer for software development roles because they know you're capable, the only thing you have to do is perform well in the interviews and you're in. I skipped pursuing further degrees beyond my bachelors and now make more than double what I made as an electrical engineer.
DO NOT GET A 2nd BS. HUGE WASTE OF TIME. Sorry for all caps, but I am absolutely dead serious here. Get your MS if you're going to continue education. And only go to a school that will fund your MS. Most schools do. ​ PS I have several friends in AE/ME that do software.

Why the hell can't I sharpen my knife? I bought a 6.5 inch Miyabi knife a while ago and it's gotten pretty dull. I want to learn to take care of my stuff on my own and would rather not send it off or pay someone else to get it sharpened. So I watched a ton of videos and read up on how to sharpen a knife with a whetston...

You may not be sharpening to the right angle. European knives tend to have 40 degree angles (or 20 deg one side (40/2)^(1). Japanese knives are ground to 30 degrees or less (or 15deg or less (30 deg/2). I scanned the Miyabi site is it looks like they grind to 9.5 to 12 degrees (or 19 deg to 24 deg). I can't tell if t...
Hey, everybody who is mentioning burrs- this is the right advice. Sharpen one side until you feel a burr, then do other side, once you have done that a couple of times, go really light or use something really fine to get rid of the remaining burr. Some people get really technical with multiple really high end stones...

I have a Masters degree in (non-biological) engineering. What steps should I take to eventually get a PhD in biology? Since I graduated college, I’ve sort of realized that I’m much more interested in biology than I am in engineering. I’ve been self-studying a lot recently, but that’s obviously no substitute for a four ...

It would all depend on what biology route you want to take (biology is a big subject), depending on the sub-branch of biology (e.g. ecology, biochemistry) and type of biologist (e.g. lab, field, computational) you want to be. The other thing to consider is using your engineering background to help answer biological q...
Depending on your specific engineering background and specific biology interest you could be try for bioinformatics fields. Understanding command line would put you miles ahead of a typical person with a Biology BS.

I have a 13 lb pre brined turkey that I cleaned and marinated in spices overnight in the fridge. It's roasting now and has a strange smell. It doesn't smell rotten or like sulfur or rotten eggs, it smells very game-y. Is this normal or is this bad news?
https://www.modernhoney.com/the-best-homemade-dinner-rolls/ I'm nervous about my dinner rolls. I tested the recipe a few weeks ago and the dough was SO wet - more like a batter - that there was no way I could shape them into rolls. Even after adding more than an extra cup of flour, I ended up just plopping handfuls of...

There's probably no definite answer for such a question, as it's highly subjective. My view is that it's better to keep it as focused on his own work and professional plans as possible. If his wife studying / job contributes to his plans in some direct way (maybe facilitates him getting a visa or she'd provide financia...
I assume from your description that the application is an Emmy Noether? If yes, I'd mention this during the interview stage, since the discussions there typically also ask more pointed questions about your motivation to apply. The first (proposal) stage review is mainly on the scientific merits of the proposal and pe...

If a non-expert might chime in, traditional Indian Brahmin food is vegetarian and prepared without onion/garlic. Hing/asafoetida is sometimes used as a sort of substitute. Look up lentil recipes like this one and skip the ghee for regular cooking oil or a [curried vegetable medley] (https://www.yummly.com/recipe/Vegeta...
This is more brainstormy than we usually allow in the sub, but it's a high level of difficulty, so I think we'll do a better job than /r/cooking.
