I'm an electronics engineer and routinely design schematics and supervise PCB layout. I have a PE license but I'll never have to stamp anything in my current job function. All of my work is considered "exempt by statute" since it is performed for my employer and doesn't directly impact public...

No kidding. My youngest is 19 mo right now and he's impossibly cute and just barely starting disobey and throw tantrums. Two months ago, he was just old enough to understand most of what we'd asked him to do and would try so hard to do anything we said.

This. We've got 4 Britax convertible car seats-- two for each vehicle. Yes, they are expensive, but keeping the kids rear-facing as long as possible is worth the expense. We found it ironic that when one of our cars was broken into in Chicago, the thief broke a $100 window, took a GPS that...

I used engineerseals as well. I went old fashioned with an inkpad and a fixed stamp.

A rolling suitcase. There were lots of people with crates or backpacks, but almost everyone who had more than ~8 references had a suitcase. I had folded big pieces of corrugated cardboard to convert my suitcase into a make-shift bookcase, but the proctors made us put all the books on the table...

Was the serving temperature the same the whole time? If the beer you guys drank from the middle of the keg was consumed at a warmer or colder temp, the vanilla would have seemed more or less prominent. I'm now sure which way it would go, but probably more bitter at colder temps and...

In Hillside (Chicago Area) the tables were about 20" deep by 6' long with 2 people to a table. I had a mountain of references for the Computer Exam so I put them all on the floor but was later told that all material had to be on the desk for inspection. As I was stacking everything on the...

I forgot that movie even existed until just now. I loved that movie when I was a kid.
