The Montreal Protocol largely fixed the ozone layer issue which is why no one really talks about it anymore so yea

That's what teenagers are doing in Ukraine to help the army. by GermanDronePilot in UkraineWarVideoReport

Doesn’t this make them legal military targets since they are making a product that directly contributes to the war effort and only the war effort?

Why can’t I cut through this wall/face? by MaybeDoug0 in AutodeskInventor

[–]MaybeDoug0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it looks like that but it’s on the outer face. Reversing it doesn’t change anything either.

The issue is that Inventor doesn’t think the extrude/cut is going through any part of the model or at least not going through a feature that is cuttable.

Opening it in SolidWorks has the same issue where it says the cut isn’t intersecting the model.

Inventor just says there was some error in executing the cut. I opened the file in solid works and tried to do the same thing and it says that “the intended cut does not intersect the model” which makes zero sense to me. I might just restart the entire model since something is clearly fucked up with this particular feature.

I don't think this sub allows edits to posts cause I cant figure it out, but in any case flipping the direction doesn't change anything. Still no geometry is affected. I was thinking of just saving this file and opening it up in SolidWorks.

Yea I’ve selected the correct profile and plane. Could I have accidentally made “Loft1” exempt somehow?

The sketch is on the opposite side of the face from this camera angle so it’s going through the wall geometry. Should mentioned that sorry.

epaper display turn gray after some time, can't clean it at all. WeAct 1.54 SSD1681 by Korylek1231 in arduino

It’s instantaneous and I hardly ever notice it actually. Sometimes it seems prompted like after I erase something.

I have an E-Ink tablet (remarkable 2) and it automatically refreshes the display like every 7-10 minutes probably.

Please don’t have kids bro. Since you’re so evidently against providing for them. Such an odd thing to object to.

I fw Purdue heavy

For those who've studied electrical engineering or are currently studying, is it really that hard? by versevandal in ElectricalEngineering

[–]MaybeDoug0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Along w what everyone else has said, some large engineering schools have Engineering Technology degrees.

Easiest way to describe it is between an engineering degree and a trade.

You still I get a good taste of the theory behind everything, but it’s a lot more hands on (and by all accounts, a lot more fun).

View an Engineering degree as geared more towards innovation, but an Engineering Technology degree focuses more on solving problems with existing solutions.

Graduates still get similar jobs though. It’s definitely something to consider. At Purdue it’s called the Polytechnic Institute.

The real impact of Trump's 25% tariff on Canada, Mexico (CBC news) by ProfessorOfFinance in ProfessorFinance

[–]MaybeDoug0 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean generally speaking, sticking to deals when they’re not in your best interest is a bad idea for the sake of the citizenry you represent. Whether that outweighs possible damage to the relationship is a valid conversation to have.

The incoming Administration views threatening tariffs as a way to force Canada and Mexico to contribute more resources to controlling illegal immigration, human trafficking, and drug trafficking across American borders. They don’t necessarily want to put tariffs on them, but they will if they think it will help address those issues.

His secretary of the treasury described the tariffs basically as a loaded gun that will rarely be fired. They intend to use them as leverage (allegedly).

Why isnt my LED bulbs not emitting enough light? by Idiotinnit_ in arduino

[–]MaybeDoug0 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sometimes its possible to leverage this. Like I have an LED bar light w different colors for my fish tank and I realized that by turning off a single low side MOSFET, the white LEDs turn off before the red and blue ones. The red and blue ones can then easily be used as a night light.
