  • It depends what you want to do. System integration is sort of the broad name for people in my field. Its a software stack sort of like how networking layers work. Controls->scada->MES->janky messaging connector->SAP with other random stuff sprinkled in. The Wikipedia article has an OK introduction to it.

    If your interested take a controls class that actually uses Rockwell or Siemens PLCs, not the theoretical stuff. There is also open source stuff that runs on arduino or other controllers.

    Or see if you like programming. Python is used for inductive automations Ignition SCADA and visual basic/C# is AVEVAs wonder ware. Their are others out there, these are the ones I’ve used.

    I’m a system integrator, and though I don’t do it right now, I’d consider myself an expert in dairy. I could see someone specializing in chocolate similarly.

    The reason people don’t know about these jobs is because they aren’t advertised very well. My MS in mechanical engineering barely touched on it and I sort of fell into it on accident by knowing someone in the industry.

    Edit: thinking about it for a moment, I actually did some work for a European chocolate producer about a decade ago


  • It’s such a hard topic to discuss because everyone has varying exposure to how much ground empathy can gain. After living it, I can say that they are more lost than most people think.

    So start treating them the way they will treat you. Personally I’ll leave someone to die if they have a Trump sticker/flag/hat/etc, because they would do the same to me.


  • I’m ex republican. Higher education and having my life ripped apart by our state’s AG fixed me… barely. Compassion won’t fix these people. They fucking suck to their core and would rather die than change their opinions. I don’t have a good solution. Platforming the stupid in our country is a large part of the problem.

    Good parenting my dude. I kept telling myself that repeating the same failing routines was insanity, so I ran experiments on her. Some kids are just soooo difficult.

    This is the one thing my kids did well. First one slept through the night day one. Second took about a year to stay asleep once she was asleep.

    And I’m gonna be a hypocrite here. Sleep is a learned behavior which needs to be constantly reinforced. I know parents with super easy kids who never set boundaries around sleep time which caused their kids to be difficult sleepers. Don’t ever allow them to get up after bed time and you’ll suffer a lot less. Our super difficult second kid learned we will only come into the room for short periods to meet her needs during bedtime. We started setting timers of a few minutes to let her learn that we aren’t coming in immediately when she started crying. Saved our sanity and slowly taught her to self sooth. I know it doesn’t work for all kids. But IMO a lot of parents will try to solve issues without the assumption their children can’t learn to tolerate mild inconvenience. It’s a huge cultural issue in the US.

    I think it’s easy to dismiss the possibility of this kid existing. I am absolutely not a perfect parent but this kid is literally an asshole. Still love her though.

    My wife and I think we are mild abuse victims from this kid. We confirmed it’s hereditary with my MIL. My wife as a child was the same monster this kid is. If you listen to her scream she just purposely eggs herself on. She broke our nanny and almost a dozen daycare people. I always say she has like 3 toddlers worth of personality that she is trying to figure out and only recently she is starting to sort it out.

    We tried everything related to colic and nothing changed her. Gripe water with fenel seed sort of worked. Omg im just remembering, hiccups 100% of the time after feedings. She almost never ate more than a ounce of formula. My wife had mastitis which killed milk production. Kid was so noise sensitive that I couldn’t close a car door outside the house while she was napping. She needed a pacifier to sleep but would purposely spit it out. She whale tailed for almost a year. Naps were more stressfull than awake time because she needed to sleep 1.5 hours or she would screem constantly during awake time. We think she also had measles at one point, the hospital didn’t do anything about it even after confirming what it likely was.

    Kid broke my brain to the point where I understand where PURPLE crying is needed. My memory and anxiety are only recently recovering.

    I agree with everything you said and I used to think all kids could be fixed by schedules. But our second child was the antithesis to any of these methods. She screamed for almost 2 years regardless of anything we did. I constantly changed our approach to her to try to find a solution and nothing worked for more than a week. She is only recently getting better now that she can understand us.

    We are now the parents that discuss our shopping list while she screams on the floor in the grocery store. Some kids are kinda assholes. Fortunately she’s extremely cute while being an asshole.






  • The storyline is a fascism. Frank thought libertarianism would stop what he was writing about. He didn’t want fascism but wrote about it. The second book is mostly about Paul falling apart and dying. Even though he thought he could follow a perfect path to being a perfect leader.

    I personally don’t care much about literary complexity. I find it interesting, and that’s all that matters to me. If you disagree, that’s fine too.
