    PE POWER PREP MATERIALS

    Also, if you have access to the TOC, you probably have access to the entire book. Just take the whole thing and get some easy points with a layup question.

    Life plateau after 30

    The definition of insanity is doing the same predictable thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome. If you've hit a plateau, it's time to shake things up. Push yourself. Get out of your comfort zone. You won't have to worry about life being boring at that point.

    What has been your best investment % gain to date?

    130% gained on a condo I'm selling and had for only 3 years. It's definitely more of a one-off. I did it because at the time I bought, I was a young guy only out of school for a couple of year and I was single. I wanted something that I could eventually sell when and if I got married, so I could...

    Becoming an Online Lecturer

    Hey everyone. Now that I've passed and hearing the various feedback on the review courses. I think I'd be interested in being a lecturer for one. I took School of PE. Info on applying here: http://www.schoolofpe.com/TeachForUs.html I was wondering if anyone on here had done that and if so...

    Which is a good crossover/SUV (V6) with price < $18k and odometer < 50k?

    I like Jeeps. I'd like them even more if they put the 4.0 I6 HO engine back in them. That thing was bulletproof.

    Standards for gf/bf

    Well, if that's the case, getting a gf/bf will probably be second from the bottom of that person's list of problems.

    Standards for gf/bf

    Also, I found my fiancé when I quit looking and just lived my life for me. I know it's gonna sound cliché, but it really does happen when you least expect it and just stop trying so hard. Being yourself is a good thing if you want it to work past just a few dates. Good luck!

    Standards for gf/bf

    Depends on what you're looking for. Something quick: download Tinder and/or Bumble, have fun. Something long-term and/or religious: download religious-based dating app of your choice, have fun Something in-between: meet a girl at a bar, buy her a drink, BE A GENTLEMAN (don't try and hook up...

    Dumping Direct and Cable TV

    I was an early adopter of DIRECTV Now. Yeah, it's got its bugs but generally works well for me (but I have fiber optic internet hardwired to my Apple TV).  But I got an email last night.....free HBO for a year. Not a bad little perk, along with 100+ other channels for $35/month.

    'Day Without A Woman'

    My thoughts are with you all. Hopefully, it'll all workout. I'm a big believer in working problems out (I'm a hopeless romantic).

    Conceptual Questions

    I'm not talking microelectronics, I'm talking power electronics. I remember working a few practice problems on them and if I remember correctly, the NCEES includes those in their breakdown of question topics that are fair game.  I think everyone in power is glad there are no more questions on...

    Conceptual Questions

    It took me awhile on these as well. I mainly drilled myself on the CI problems and tried to understand the WHY? in their explanation. That's the key so that if I got a similar but different problem, I knew how to think through it.  In looking at these, ask yourself questions like: What are they...

    R.I.P. Bill Paxton

    Apollo 13 is one of my favorites. Nobody on the news has mentioned that one.

    History of PE

    The world of PE's didn't thrive in the 21st Century until EB.com was created. It was a revolutionary concept: a forum dedicated to the best and highest standards of trolling in any online forum. This mission continues today and we are the custodians of its care and continuance.

    Power PE Question For The Week

    Yeah. That aux coil A is sometimes called a "seal in" contact. That is, it seals in coil A to prevent it from opening up once PB Y is released.

    please advise

    I took School of PE and passed the first try. Out of curiosity, what were your strategies the previous 3 tries? There are many reasons why one could fail this test (bad day, illness, technical problems with calculator(s), etc) but most of them boil down to not having the correct strategy. I have...

    TENNESSEE!!!!

    FINALLY got my license and wallet card in the mail....envelope said "Delivered To Wrong Address" on front. Glad to know my $400 "privilege" tax, $180 registration and 9 and a quarter percent sales tax is going to make sure these things don't happen.... :oldman:
