Electrical Engineering is also a regulated practice requiring licensure.

Hi Doctor Nick!

What's on the exam? They outline the topics on a publicly available test plan. LMGTFY.

You need to crawl before you can walk. So yes, you need to pass the fundamentals and become an EIT, then work under a PE before you yourself can take, pass, and become a professional engineer. Hence why they linked the first step in the process. You could go straight to the Engineer application and try your luck there, but you will find that the first item on the list asks for proof of passing the fundamentals exam.

The licensing board, and the protection of titles there under, is set up in such a way to protect the public (I won't go into how or why). This is similar to a doctor of medicine or lawyer. While these latter titles have a long history and are well established and protected, the title "engineer" is there quite yet not. The licensing boards are now putting steam into cleaning up the mess, but the self titled engineers are fighting back because they feel entitled to use that title too based on their experience (without license), common misuse, unregulated practice, etc. Total BS, two fold. One, some engineering disciplines are just not well regulated yet which allows people to continue to work under that guise without limitations. These disciplines need to get with the program and adopt appropriate licensing requirements. And two, if you are practicing in an area that is governed by a licensing board, but you are not licensed, obtain your license (or appropriate credentials) or change your title. You are eroding the public's trust and confidence in the disciplines. Mills appears to work in electrical design, is a member of IEEE, and has a business that touts being a "full spectrum product design and engineering consulting company". Yet without an electrical engineering license that is complete bull. It sounds more like he likes the title he used when he worked under licensed engineers and wants to stick with it because it has weight. Yes, it does, but for him it is misappropriated. I work in a engineering consulting firm, but we actually have engineers in nearly all of the common disciplines (sans nuclear and aerospace). Appropriate alternatives: consultant, designer, technologist, scientist, builder, developer, fabricator, machinist,...

That is a good point. You can buy packs of replacement heads at the same time as you purchase the tooth brush for this reason. This will give you at least half of a decade of use. Assuming you replace the heads every 6 months and of course the brush doesn't crap out first.

They are costly to install and require regular (usually annual) certified inspection. Sewer laterals are typically the owner's responsibility to maintain. That means a sewer check valve is also their responsibility. However, owners are bad as maintaining these things. They will fail and will not be repaired or replaced adequately for this to work. Also this would put the burden on the owners to fix their lateral checks so that downstream improvements can be made. This is also not cost effective. It is easier to simply plug upstream lines. Therefore, checks are not the global answer especially when they are not needed. It seems more like the contractors need a better work plan for plugging upstream lines bypass pumping of those lines, and properly venting trapped gases (typically trapped at the upstream high points like manholes or laterals).

This would be useful where energy creation can be made in abundance but transporting it is extremely costly or technically infeasible to the point that the net efficiency is even lower that beaming the energy. Such as future moon based reactors or energy mining operations, etc. Similarly, beaming energy to receivers on space vessels or probes could also be useful.

Go back to sleep. Nothing to see here.

People in sales answer calls from unknown numbers all of the time. I know a handful of sales reps I regularly contact who only list their mobile as their contact number. While they probably have my number saved by now, it stands to reason that they would still get a lot of calls from new/unknown callers.

Verbatim from the settings: Calls from unknown numbers will be silenced, sent to voicemail, and displayed on the Recents list. Incoming calls will continue to ring from people in your contacts, recent outgoing calls, and Siri Suggestions. So, an unknown caller, even if they have a preset caller ID, is still an unknown caller because it is not someone you actively contact via phone/email/text/facetime. FYI: Numbers found via Siri suggestions (which you can turn off) are retrieved from Apple native modes of comm phone/email/text /FaceTime (Siri doesn't have the reach to pull from non-Apple apps, as far as I am aware). For example, you replied to an email from Bob in Apple's email client, and Bob listed his phone number in his email sig, and you also have Bob in your contacts but don't yet have his number saved. Siri sometimes can connect these dots when receiving a call from that number and list that caller a "Maybe Bob".
