Concrete is an excellent and versatile material, but it's not without its limitations. One of the biggest problems materials scientists are keen to find a workaround for is its brittleness. Concrete doesn't have very high tensile strength at all, which means it's prone to cracking under stress. One way of resolving this issue would be to develop concrete that can fill in its own cracks, and a new method could be that panacea. A team led by mechanical engineer Congrui Grace Jin of Texas A&M University has developed concrete that can heal itself by harnessing the power of synthetic lichen.

Employee: Hi welcome to McMasterCarr can I take your order?

Me: Hi yes, I'd like two carbon steels. One with Cheese and the other is plain carbon steel

engineering degree is worth it. it is worth it. i'm gonna make fucking bank. it is worth it. i should've paid attention in calculus class.

I forgot to post this yesterday 'cause I got home so late from uni 😭

Yesterday was a pretty tiring, but worth it, day of studying since I missed an entire week of class and had to study all of the content from last week's welding technology class + study from a texbook on science and engineering of materials.

Content studied yesterday:

> Stress-Strain of metals under tension, compression, sheer and torsion tests ;

> Stress-Strain graph (elastic and plastic strain, recognition of ductile and brittle materials, points of elastic limit, yielding, ultimate strength and rupture) ;

> General types of welding ;

> Concepts of welding technology .

My welding technology class went great and I was relieved when I found myself following the explanations with ease and being able to participate because of successful studying and absorption of the last class' content through photos of the board that my classmate sent me. I was really scared I would fall behind but I feel pretty confident and intrigued by the subject and engineering in general... I think I'm finally falling in love with it!

POV: you take a break from f1 fic writing to walk across the stage for your degree in mechanical engineering!!

Some of today’s tasks, I find that I always overfill my task list.

I’m entering chapter 3 harmonically excited vibration and I’m still a bit confused but I’m gonna try my hardest.

I’m recovering from my lung infection, it was at its worst yesterday hence no post.

Happy studying!! (do u like my nails? :3 )

To-Do Today:

1. AM Exercise Sheet 4-13

I attended a mechanical design workshop yesterday, and now I am definitely like 5% more aware of wtf I am doing. It ended at 9 pm. Then, I went to the library and completed AM (Advanced Mathematics I) Worksheet 2 and 3. AM I exam is in 5 days. Crazy.

It's 5:30 pm. I hope I'll manage to meet my goals before 12 a.m., but that's undoubtedly a tall order. A girl can dream tho :/

A pretty girl complimented my nails and outfit today :)

Overall 8/10 kinda day so far. Would be a 10 if exams weren't looming around.

The Federal Aviation Administration receives thousands of complaints every year about the characteristic loud buzzing produced as drone propellers slice through the air. That noise is an issue in other countries, too: Canada and England, for instance, report a sharp uptick in similar complaints over the last several years. Experts believe noise pollution caused by these unmanned aerial vehicles will only worsen as they are increasingly used for package delivery, photography, emergency response, and more.
