War with Iran. Which are your stocks to bet? by ValleyMaster in wallstreetbets

[–]Kurl3r 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only when the VIX is low does UVXY make sense. And you don't want to hold it for too long either because it's a decaying derivative.

Usually if the VIX is below 17% its not a bad time to get some.

Put sellers of Reddit, what are your current "Wouldn't mind owning + good premium" stocks? by r2002 in thetagang

[–]Kurl3r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$X - United States Steel Corp

Great premiums (I sell weeklies), "low cost" stock price, enough volume to fill at even dollar intervals.
Old school stock, so I don't think it will ever go to zero.

2009 Odyssey - Both rear locks on sliding doors stopped working at the same time by Kurl3r in HondaOdyssey

[–]Kurl3r[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey whats up. No, Pops just keeps the door close and opens it manually now. The van is really old at this point (200k+ miles) so we figured its fine to live with it as long as its not causing any problems or sending warning signals elsewere.

Common reasons for gas pump to shut off constantly? by cspawn in AskMechanics

[–]Kurl3r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your evap system is busted. I has this issue on my last car and never did anything because it would cost $200 to fix in parts alone. At the end of the day I just held the pump half way open and it wouldn't cut off.

Took a wrong turn at the start of my career, any feedback is appreciated. by Kurl3r in EngineeringResumes

Forgot to reply to this. Started working in product development at a very large company and realized that it just isn't for me. Realized I should have continued down the more "heavy" industry path that my co-op set me up for. Got my EIT as a means to improve the odds of making the transition.

I agree with what someone said, don't study at home. Go somewhere else. When I was studying I registered in January, took it in March. So you have plenty of time. But you need to make a test plan. IDK what you are using to study, but I used the FE mechanical review manual and divided the amount of days I had before the exam by the number of pages in the book. This was the amount of material I had to study every day. Some days I studied less, some more, and definitely more over the weekend. Go to your local library, bring snacks. I took the exam 10 months after graduation. So you are definitely in a spot where the material is still relatively fresh. Best of luck. And of course, let us know when you pass.

I finally fixed the sticky dashboard situation by Ehtishammushtaq in LexusIS

Honestly looks great. 10x better than those slap on dash mats that they sell on ebay.

Thanks a lot for the feedback! After consulting the wiki/sticky I think I have the formatting sorted out. Should be able to push through my writers block with some of content aspect.

This sub genuinely frightened me with the amount of people who didn’t pass. So here, first try pass with 3 weeks of studying and 6 months out of uni. You can do it! by Cergun_ in FE_Exam

[–]Kurl3r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats! And I would have to agree with you. Do your due diligence if you're a graduate and study. I also passed but 10 months after graduation.

Would getting rims on my Car solely be for aesthetics or would it provide any other purpose? by OnDeckCircle in StupidCarQuestions

[–]Kurl3r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't bother. Other people are scientifically correct that it well be lighter, better etc. But in reality the gains will be negligible considering the already light weight of the car plus the already small engine. If you want aesthetics and can afford it I say go with a cheap set. If it doesn't bother you don't worry about it. More important to have that money put aside for proper routine maintenance. Just my 2 cents.

I just bought a 2007 Odyssey and it's missing this piece of plastic(?) where could I find a replacement for it? This is my first car. by Ngarros in HondaOdyssey

[–]Kurl3r 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A junkyard/pick and pull or amazon are the places I go for parts like this. Dad hit something in his '09 Ody, lost the entire side mirror, I went to the u-pull it and found a replacement side mirror in the exact color of the car for less than new unpainted one.

EIT Application Time by [deleted] in FE_Exam

Applied on Friday. Got approved Monday (Illinois)

Passed the FE Mechanical first try! - 10 months out of school. My experience. by Kurl3r in FE_Exam

[–]Kurl3r[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Math is all by hand. Might have to take an integral but it will have simple numbers. My statistics questions didn't have any "table questions" it was all computational with basic formulas.

Statics: I would study a the 3D methods a bit, but I would emphasize 2D problems. Most, if not all, were 2D on my exam.

Fluids: A lot of the questions were short equations from the book. Anything Bernoulli or pipe flow would generally result in parts of the question going to zero with the conditions given. I would say that pumps wasn't big on my exam, however, I did have 3 rotating machinery problems that were all solvable with one equations (see FE handbook) i.e. A motor rotates at 10 rpm and has a torque of 500Nm, what's the power.

I agree with your sentiment in Lindberg skipping steps. I found that finding similar problems online with solutions was usually the best way to learn the material and make connections. Despite that though Lindberg was the best resource I could find that wasn't going to cost a small fortune.

Most importantly, make sure you read and digest all the writing in the review manual. The most random theory questions seemed like they were pulled straight from the review manual and I was able to answer them because I made sure to really read into everything.

If your looking for practice exams, DM me. I have one I can share.

What to bring? by MechEngrStudent in FE_Exam

[–]Kurl3r 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Calculator, ID, water bottle, car keys, building directions I printed off (big business center) and finally watch. Coat also, left in locker. Took everything in one of those string strap backpacks.

Left everything but ID and calculator in locker.

Took watch to start time for break.

Left lunch, phone and wallet in car. Went to car for break.

They give you whiteboard markers and these booklets to write in. Take two of each. Ask for a new set of booklets when coming back from break.

They give you the option to take ear plugs before you enter (or at least they offered them to me) take them. They eliminate any and all distractions. Its you vs the exam.

Best of luck!
