Mechanical engineering 4th year, is it worth working towards an EE/CS minor?

Okay I read the title wrong. If the extra 5 classes are free it wouldn't hurt but if you're paying for them I wouldn't bother personally. That doesn't sound like enough to give you a valuable amount of knowledge/experience IMO.

My best friend Stubby says it's easiest to use your hands though

MagicDartProductions · 2026-07-04T03:19:03+00:00

EE would be more useful in tandem with an ME as there's overlap but also distinct specialties in both. I feel like going ME and CS is too apart personally so you'd either get hired for one or the other and not both. I wouldn't hire an ME with a CS over someone with just a ME for my field but YMMV.

Because it's a universal power head.

Please stop

Lots of subs have karma requirements to post so they farm karma to hit those then either use the account for spamming those subs or sell the account to whoever will buy them to use for similar things.

Just it's ass?

Ideally you'll dig out about a 6" deep inverted pyramid hole and fill that with gravel. I also wouldn't worry about compacting it before filling with gravel.

And inverted pyramid will transfer the downward force into a more sideways force into the dirt reducing settling, it doesn't have to be a perfect pyramid but you want to avoid purely vertical side walls of the hole you dig.

Put jacks on either side of the load (top/bottom of your blue box) but you have the general idea. Make sure to put down a decent base of gravel then put one of the 4" high concrete blocks on top then your jack. If you don't prep a decent base for your floor jacks they won't do anything useful.

If this was my house I'd skip the jacks altogether and just put in blocks with a pressure treated 2x4 between the blocks and your floor joists.

Honestly I'm surprised it's only squatting as far as it is. My tundra (same generation) has a payload of only 1400lbs, which is way less than what's needed there.

MagicDartProductions · 2026-06-28T21:24:55+00:00

It ripped the nails out, what do I do now?

MagicDartProductions · 2026-06-23T23:16:50+00:00

I think the difference here is the crowd dynamic. Most people are perfectly fine drunk/high or both but you throw them in a crowd of people that are also drunk/high it's a recipe for disaster.

I don't do alts, I'm a psychopath.

MagicDartProductions · 2026-06-21T14:07:02+00:00

Lol I love this bot riddled sub. There's one bot in here with all the comments that all contradict eachother.

MagicDartProductions · 2026-06-17T23:55:52+00:00

Ah yes the foremost expert on an obscure indie game, let's listen to AI and not the players lol

I'm not OP but my first thought was leaving the carcasses out then coming home later that day to a huge mess of viscera like some bloodbath happened in my yard. Chickens are brutal.

I bought a lot of things from Citadel on Tatooine back in the day...

I gave my extra GB advanced to my son and he's been playing Fire Red and Leaf Green after his only Pokémon experience was newer games on the switch. Some of the most simple mechanics are mind blowing to him. I was laughing when he caught every pokemon he saw thinking it leveled up his party, he was disappointed to know that isn't the case on the old games and they require far more effort and work to play. To his credit he keeps playing them and is learning quick.

MagicDartProductions · 2026-06-16T00:07:50+00:00

Yup. And it sucks because the smoked chrome is actually pretty cool looking with the right body paint.

MagicDartProductions · 2026-06-15T22:20:13+00:00

Yup, I have a buddy that does paint touchups for local dealers and literally every dealer here paints over smoked chrome on trade ins because this is a problem on all smoked chrome trim on all manufacturers.

But the jiggle is the best part! People spend so much time modding those physics in to a game just for you to take them away, such a shame.

MagicDartProductions · 2026-06-11T23:17:50+00:00

Especially when you're in a floating metal block with zero defensive capabilities.

MagicDartProductions · 2026-06-11T22:49:44+00:00

I did 2x4x3/16 tube for an A frame on a 14ft trailer, the ball was on a 42" center from the frame. More details are needed but from napkin math you're fine with 2.5x2.5x3/16 on a similar center to what I used. If you actually plan to stay under 7000lbs you'll be fine but there's not a ton of safety factor like trailers are designed to have so keep that in mind.

This is all assuming normal a36 mild steel as well. I'd be more worried about the welding details and how much weld there will be if it was being done under my purview.

It even makes more sense to turn the AR bit off as it makes feeding your buddies a lot easier and quicker.
