I need to split this part but it is not symmetrical and neither is my intended split. For reference, this is supposed to the a carbon fiber shell that will be made out of two half molds. But I cannot figure out how to split this part that has twists in it.
Very similar premise to a complex airfoil that is made out of two bonded half-shells.
Am doing the right thing by not trying harder?
There is more to this relating to family but I will keep this between me and him.
Me and my brother almost no longer speak at all, even though we have been living in the same room for the past year. We grew up very close (I think) and would go on adventures together all the time everywhere.
Things started changing when I went back to college to finish my undergrad. I was in a serious relationship at the time and so was he. He was very supportive of me going back. And he seemed to be supportive when my relationship crash landed in the middle of uni.
But when graduation came, he seemed a little uninterested. I could argue he really only came to my ceremony to accompany mom who is technologically incompetent.
I moved back home while taking my gap year before grad school. He introduced his friends to me but only because he had to through circumstances, like being at the same party or random run-ins. He has refused to accept any invitation of mine to hangout with me. Literally anything; coffee, lunch, day trip, movies, out for drinks, a drive (we used to do so often). He has also invited me out with his friends 0 times in the past year (not kidding). And he goes sees his friends at hangouts or night outs at least 2x a week. He made it pretty clear he has no interest in meeting my friends but did not explain why.
In the past year, I’ve also successfully gotten accepted into graduate school. I’ve made so much effort to grow and network in my hometown and try more things. I’ve also help redesign the interior of mom’s home. He had no interest in helping despite him living there. I’ve tried to hard to ignite a true loving home (we were raised by a single mom).Not that I’m seeking validation, but he has been the least supportive of anyone that I know very well
Im considering going NC with him (and most of the rest of the family). I move out in 1 week for school and I don’t intend on staying in my hometown after grad school. Our relationship is literally weaker every day. Our average interaction is about 3 sentences per week now. It has been beyond hurtful to live through this. It almost feels like PTSD from a failing relationship all over again.
He is half-assing junior college rn and his biggest priority is going to expensive EDM festivals (1-2 per month). I have made so much progress in turning my life around in the last 2 years. I’d love to take him with me in that direction be I actively feel rejected whenever those conversations come up. I feel like I have to cut him out of my life to continue towards the life I want.
TLDR
Close relationship with brother has been gradually deteriorating ever since I started getting my life back together. Every recent milestone for me feel like he rejects me even more.
I think he was waiting for me to become responsible. Instead I feel like he’s lost his childhood friend and no longer recognizes (or accepts) what I’ve become
Incoming graduate student, I’ll be staying in San Clemente. I’m a guy, looking for other active lifestyle grads to join me as housemates. I love my grad program but I don’t want to only live with them. I’ll already be spending 95% of my research time with them. Want to also meet peeps in other programs.
Don’t be shy! Lmk if you’re also interested. I’m already here in SB so we’ll have a coffee chat but can also video chat with anyone who’s incoming. I run, cycle, lift and overall just like being active and traveling. I’m also very social so always look for something to do and don’t mind guests coming over. Also open to starting a friend group like this! Just comment or message me.
