Many, many times. One semester I took an elective Intro to Theoretical Physics class which was very math intensive. I spent hours looking at very difficult problems, sometimes I could have those "aha!" moments on my own, other times I had to go to my professor's office hours. That was the...

I have no idea about the commercial/general aviation sector as that's not my expertise (I work on spaceships, and I'm not that far out of college). However, I do know that there were a lot of jobs at Boeing that were canceled when I was applying because of delays due to manufacturing issues (at...

I don't think that AE is any more difficult than EE. I'd say that AE would be harder than ME (which was part of the reason I went the AE route). AE and EE are difficult in different ways. AE typically uses some higher level math, but it can be physically easier to comprehend. AE's also tend...

(I'm an Aerospace Engineer by the way) If I were to do it all over again, I would take a bunch of controls classes as either an AE or EE. I saw a lot more jobs available for EEs than I did AEs when I was looking, but that might not be the best way to pick a major. But yeah, you can get...

Going by what I remember from the movie, they never said what it was that gave him propulsion, or what exactly came out of his hands when he was shooting things with them. The important part of his technology seemed to be the immensely energy dense power source located on his chest. I...

IMPORTANT- Don't freak out go to grad school if you don't want to (I did this and ended up leaving grad school without a degree because I didn't want to be there) I graduated in Aerospace Engineering without ever having an internship in anything other than some civil related internships (no...

Move. Simple enough. I grew tired of grad school in engineering for various reasons, and the whole point of me going to grad school was to get a job in the private space industry. I found out I didn't need a graduate degree for that, and bailed. I moved across the country to do it as well...

Is it bad that I read Chakra and the first thing that came to mind was Fight Club?

To add to that, I wonder if you could take their turboprop set up, change the gearing, and drive a ducted fan with it. I don't know if you'd gain much from that modification or not.

It's been awhile since I've studied the subject, so don't take 100% of what I say to be valid. JetCats, from what I know, are reasonably popular engines for RC aircraft, and thus have lots of hours on them, and I've heard of just about every variety of engines made by them except for...

Update: The chicken thighs I recently got for whole foods, while still good according to their expiration date, smelled horrible when I opened the package. I had to toss them out and eat out instead. I also noticed that the bacon that I bought there only a few days ago actually expired in...

After listening to you guys i googled up a local butcher. I think I'm going to try them next time

Yeah, the walmarts here are entertaining in their own ways. The first time I went to one when I moved here there was an old lady, wearing a dirty wedding dress (that was turning gray), in a wheelchair, pulling herself forward with her feet and hitting herself in the head while laughing...

Okay I'm jealous now. I'd love to have fresh eggs since I eat them every morning. I have to settle for supposed Omega-3 eggs. I've never had 'em fresh before. I was upset because where I used to live there was a farmers market that sold fresh meat (but I couldn't afford it on a grad...

I don't think the meat had multiple stickers. What was weird was that it wasn't tough. It had almost no texture at all. There was no noticeable grain, like the muscles of the animal had never been used, it was almost homogeneous "meat substance" in the shape of strip/rib meat. ...I also...
