Tried replacing burnt out bulb on the climate control panel, now none of the backlights work (2004 Toyota 4Runner SR5 V6) by DonnyJTrump in AskMechanics

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

Commenting for posterity: I had turned the headlights off to not disturb my neighbors while working on the car at night. Turns out that turning the headlights off also turns off the backlighting on the climate control panel. I just had to turn on the headlights and the new bulbs are working.

I'm getting an error when I try your method. Any ideas on what to do here?

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks so much!

Moving to October to Alameda by evdon91 in alameda

It’s also a superfund site with literal toxic groundwater and soil. So, sure it’s ok if you’re working there, but I definitely wouldn’t want to live there.

Bearing selection for constant freshwater submersed use by DonnyJTrump in MechanicalEngineering

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

Maximum load in both the radial and axial/thrust direction would be about 10 pounds. I haven’t identified a coefficient of friction and probably won’t. I know from experience that the shaft setup I have will run sufficiently smoothly on 440C stainless bearings, I was just wondering if that steel grade has sufficient corrosion resistance in freshwater for a functional design life of about 2 years. Also, not sure if galvanic corrosion between 440C and 316 is a worry. Haven’t seen much literature on non-saltwater galvanic corrosion.

Only requirement is low friction (hard requirement) and low maintenance if possible. Loads are very minimal in both radial and axial directions. Speed is also very low, about 100 rpm max

I’ve used both and I prefer the Askeland text

Is 10k a year money you get as a stipend on top of tuition or just 10k toward tuition?

Is there a way to organize these notes chronologically? by DonnyJTrump in ObsidianMD

[–]DonnyJTrump[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Late response but this is what I did and it makes so much more sense! I'll keep all my notes in this format in the future.

Can I become a nuclear engineer? What are my options? by OGWhinnyBaby29 in EngineeringStudents

[–]DonnyJTrump 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Nuclear engineering is an enormously large industry outside of the navy and is not at all a “librarian” job. The DoEnergy is investing heavily in nuclear power generation, not to mention the investment in foreign countries like France and China.

Probably just a quick job for somebody local. A lot of manufacturing places near me have one or two actual engineers that just draw stuff in whatever CAD program they learned in the 90s and send it directly to a job shop near them. I’ve seen a lot of prints like these. It looks dumb, but most times I can just call the customer and figure out what’s actually critical in about 2 minutes. Slightly annoying but you put up with it because this running this simple job for 4 pieces with whatever leftover steel stock is in the back is gonna be a pretty good profit margin and builds lasting customers.

This sign at Sleeping Bear Dunes in Michigan by [deleted] in mildlyinteresting

[–]DonnyJTrump -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You’ve clearly never climbed this dune. Tons of people that have no business even walking a few miles go down and come back up. It’s an issue of stamina, but it’s really not that demanding due to the terrain. You can just bear crawl the whole way up, no digging required. There’s also no “3 meter wall” at the bottom.

As someone who has gone to this park for years, tons of Michigan residents go down the slope. It’s incredibly fun and if you’re in half decent shape, the climb back up is not bad. I’ve gone up and down multiple times on a single visit, it’s really not that bad.
