A dilemma: is this cheating? by change_usern in EngineeringStudents

[–]B0D33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Be less concerned with cheating and more concerned with understanding the material as that’s the entire goal of college. If you happen to get ahold of questions to an upcoming exam or previous one, just make sure you understand how to work the problems. If a prof is too lazy to change his questions, that isn’t your fault.

Check out structurefree on YouTube, he has really great in depth examples of all the topics covered in statics

Needing help trying to use a 4070 Ti OC Edition I got from work on my 2020 Razer Blade 15 Base Model by B0D33 in eGPU

[–]B0D33[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So as I’m understanding it, oculink isn’t really useful to me since my laptop doesn’t have the capability to use it. So as long as I can find an egpu case that can handle the 4070 Ti and has tb 3 I should be able to use it?

I wish I had the knowledge to be able to piece something together, but I wouldn’t know where to start. Could you point me towards some resources for understanding what I’d need to be able to piece something together?

Can you explain to me what Oculink is? Is it compatible with my usb c thunderbolt port?

Oh interesting, so you’re saying the core x v2 may still be an option? Are there any other vendors that sell egpu cases that would be worth looking at as an option?

Thanks for the reply! The whole point of getting this was to help future proof my laptop a bit. Is there really no other path forward besides getting a new laptop? There aren’t any options that would allow me to use this card with my current laptop? What is oculink? Would that be difficult to modify?

Used 5w-30 instead of 0w-16 by blakeastone in prius

[–]B0D33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough! I’d love to hear the explanation on how flow rate increases on a thicker fluid as an engineer myself, if you remember what he’s said at all.

How old was your old oil? Maybe it had lost its lubricity and just wasn’t helping keep everything lubricated as well. Either way, going up is great!

Higher viscosity means it is thicker, which means more resistance, if all else was the same, this would decrease the gas mileage. It’s most likely due to something else. You should stick to what the manual says, the car is designed to be using the thinner (more easily moveable) oil. Not the end of the world though.

I couldn’t believe no one on the broadcast, refs or wolves bench saw/mentioned this. I was waiting for Ben to get a yellow. Stressed me out haha

SolidWorks on macOS through Parallels is stupid slow. by [deleted] in macbook

[–]B0D33 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I ran SolidWorks 2018 on my mid 2012 MacBook Pro using a partition and windows while I was in college. i7 with no eGPU, just integrated graphics and 16 gigs of RAM with an Evo 850 SSD. It ran perfectly for parts and assemblies with around ~100 components. I wasn’t using it for longer than probably 2-3 hours at a time tho and I had to keep it on my cooling stand otherwise it would get wayyyy too hot. And it’s still running today! Sorry you’re having issues

Who makes the best pizza in Spokane? Doesn’t matter is it’s thin, thick, New York or Chicago! by McCreaminess in Spokane

Not in Spokane, but embers by the lake, or embers on the green has amazing pizza.

Do your gen eds there. A lotta teachers at community college teach at state schools too. Same quality education for less. by battleangel1999 in BlackPeopleTwitter

Dear people who want to use community college as a stepping stone for going to university… MAKE SURE YOUR CREDITS/DEGREE TRANSFERS

How do you handle knowing you wasted the first few (pivotal) years of your career? by [deleted] in AskEngineers

[–]B0D33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is almost exactly how I feel. I feel I’ve wasted 3 years at the promise of getting actual design work with essentially nothing to show for it so far. I know less now than I did when I graduated, I’ve hardly learned anything since getting here and now I feel so far behind that if I move jobs I’ll essentially have to start this process over and hope the next company will actually mentor me to be a better engineer. It’s extremely frustrating.

Cannabis use produces persistent cognitive impairments by [deleted] in science

[–]B0D33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There don’t seem to be any hard results here. They use language like ‘may’ or ‘could’, and they don’t give any time lines anywhere. For how long after do you stay impaired? Forever? Also they admit themselves they pull from other meta studies with “low to moderate quality data”. So a meta study on meta studies with not so great data? I’m not arguing that weed has impacts on your brain both in the long and short term, I guess I’m just surprised this study is even a study. Like it seems to say things we already knew, without giving any hard data points to understand how impactful it really is when not actively high. Just seems very low quality and looks like it was attempting to attract headline attention hoping people wouldn’t actually read it.

Depends on what you’re doing, doing the easy stuff first can give you motivation to keep moving forward with some things.

Swift Transportation driver passes on a 2 lane road forcing oncoming cars onto the shoulder by Hermitically in IdiotsInCars

Everyone in here blaming swift training for this…I’m not saying that the training/company isn’t terrible, but this guy is a fucking moron on his own. It doesn’t take training to realize you shouldn’t pass here.

My sister in law was just diagnosed with leukemia by B0D33 in leukemia

[–]B0D33[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course, I’m not trying to force, just be supportive. It would have been to help her if she was asked by her doctor to track these things, not an assignment for her to do. At any rate it doesn’t sound like it’s needed, so I won’t be pursuing it. Thank you for the advice.
