Just want to say that you have a great perspective on life. Don’t lose that.

That doesn’t apply to all engineering. In ChE, it’ll literally blow up later…

The issue with engineering is that if you don’t solve it efficiently and correctly enough, it’ll blow up later.

Yankee is a nickname for all Americans in the rest of the world.

This will ultimately lead to world peace as every army is in meetings all day.

Currently Firefox on the iPhone is still running Safari. It’ll soon change for folks in the EU only.

Smart. I’ve seen it on manufacturing lines for operators logging into SAP. They put the barcode on the back of their badge.

Didn’t they also live through all of what you just mentioned? What makes their experience of those events different than yours? It is all perspective. How do you know what it was like to be alive during the civil right’s movement, the Cuban missile crisis, the oil crisis, the assassinations of JFK and MLK Jr, the Vietnam war and the draft, the real estate crash in the 1980’s, etc.

It turns out that people are rubbish at understanding others perspective and life experiences. There is no hand book on how to be an adult and how to live. Giving advice is difficult. Give your parents a break and realize that they are people too.

Unfortunately the Reverb G2 will be junk when WMR is removed from Windows.

Pure shot of nostalgia thinking about that. I used to play it all the time with my Dad and brothers back in the day.

I loved my green GTO in that game.

That’s a really great point. I like to reserve my Friday afternoons for side projects or learning. This gives me something fun to look forward to and keeps me in touch with engineering.

It is most efficient to leave the toilet seat in the position it is used. The same argument applies for the bidet settings.

A 3.75% of the cars total value as a “document fee” is the same as a 3.75% sales tax. The only difference is that you also pay it when you bring in a car from out of state.

Cars are taxed in Delaware.

Bezos isn’t even involved in Amazon anymore.

The stainless in the cyber truck is 301, which is less corrosion resistant than 304 or 316. You can read all about stainless corrosion in Appendix A.

Stainless steel still rusts when exposed to salt and water.

There are only a few manufacturers of robotic arms, and have this feature as it is required by law in many countries. This was a new installation and I’ll be happy to bet all sorts of money that it had it installed and wasn’t used.

There are many ways to do this safely. All robotic arms come with a disable key that powers off the axis motors, latches all the brakes, but leaves the sensors and end of arm tooling powered up to troubleshoot. Troubleshooting can also be done via PC and watching inputs/ outputs on the program.
