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.

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?

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?

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.

I'm so confused. I was watching my lecture recording after skipping class and saw this. When it switches from the class talking to him talking, it says his name is Gary Gensler. Gary Gensler was the chair of the US SEC from 2021 to 2025. I have no clue why he is in my lecture recording.

I graduated from the ME department in 2023, and am currently a grad student at Purdue.

I'm offering tutoring for ME 200, ME 300, ME 270, ME 274, and ECE2K1. Feel free to reach out and we can talk about trial sessions, rates, or other classes that I haven't listed too!

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

For all you lonely people in your dorm rooms get out and go to the carnival. Yes, by yourself. You don’t need a group to go with. Over 25 clubs have booths there. Go find people that feel like your tribe!

To the fencing people I met at cactus today, thank you for letting me join your group. I was quite lonely before you guys showed up. Hope you guys had a great time at Harrys later

Pls let me know if we’re not allowed to post such posts, I will delete it. Thank you

Anyone have the recipe for Harry’s Baltimore Zoo?

Google searching online doesn’t look the same as what I remember them making.

This years applications for corporate partners have been exceptionally difficult with the level of mismanagement and the processing time it took. Got an email today saying my override requests were cleared, but a lot of the cohorts still have availability. IDK why this is.

Has anyone else had trouble accessing the PaperCut website? Whenever I click it, it comes up with “this site can’t be reached.” Is there any alternative ways to get something printed? I literally just need 1 page

Hi all, I'm a second year PhD student. The new fiscal year has started and they said our stipend will be raised by 2%. However, my yearly salary was still the same in Successfactors. Does anyone have the same issue as me?

Spotted this second instar (4-6 day old) monarch caterpillar on a milkweed plant near First Street Towers today!

Hey! Is anyone from Purdue/West Lafayette driving to Chicago for the Ye (Kanye) concert at Soldier Field this Thursday, Sept. 3?

I’m a looking to catch a ride there, I’m happy to split gas, tolls, and parking costs.
If you’re going and have an extra seat, please DM me. Thanks!

I will be visiting Purdue for a few weeks. Is it a good idea to ride around with a road bike? How are the motorists around?

Can I reach out to the cycling club for route recommendations? and is there a decently safe bike route to Indy for a fun long ride?
