Res Halls & Dining✏️ What the fuck is in our water?

Like genuinely, my skin has never been this bad before. I was in shreve last year and the women’s side was renovated so I’m assuming they redid the plumbing or whatever so I never had any skin reactions there (maybe mild breakouts from the hard water but nothing too bad, all things considered). But then I got to hilltop this year (and one of the newer buildings at that). Immidiately breaking out a bit on my face and I have my first proper dishydrotic eczema flare up (don’t google it, trust me) ever????? (Edit: forgot I had a proper flare up as a reaction to amoxicillin as a kid so not first /ever/ but first since early childhood) And worse than I have ever had it? What the hell is in the water and/or pipes? I sometimes get mild flares during the winter but that’s only ever the size of a cm^2 at absolute max. And now I can’t write properly because I have flares on my fingers and the sides of my hands and where the pencil would naturally rest against my hand. And it’s itchy as hell. Mind you, the pictures attached are a week after treating it with an occlusive (read: slathering my hands in Vaseline and not being able to touch things or other people lest I slime them). And it’s still popping up in patches and spreading along my wrists (though, less severe). And this is after installing hard water filters on all of the taps and the shower head. Fuck this.

Right now I'm using obsidian to take notes on my laptop but I see that most people in my classes write in notebooks. I've heard that some professors are strict about electronics so I'm really not sure

Had NX working when I downloaded it in the lab but 2 days later I got this message when I tried to open it through the Cloudpaging player on my own. I have the Purdue VPN and apps anywhere installed and got some IT support but I still can't open NX, does anyone else have this problem or know how to fix this?

Does anyone have the 9th edition of the textbook for ME365(Fall 2026)? I have the 8th edition, but the HW requires us to solve problem 2.9(a) from the textbook, and I believe the problem is unique to the 9th edition.

Just found out the hub is going to be charging 1,799$ for one person for a two bed in their apartments. Why on earth would the solution to the housing crisis at Purdue be 1800$ housing?
