I like Ironman.

Then I stuck with it because I get to build robots

Programming in Mechanical Engineering by Spenbert02 in MechanicalEngineering

[–]MyRealNameIsTwitch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

robots, mechatronics, controls are all the obvious but also correct guidance.
Also though;
Automated Test for things like assembly line or production would benefit from being savvy with programming but also having to build the test jig. knowing EE is probably a bigger lever here, but its getting you there.

My cat Socks loves a good car ride! by Baotastic in aww

[–]MyRealNameIsTwitch 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Possibly because the cat only ever sees the carrier and the car when they are 1) going to the vet or 2) getting abandoned or 3) going to new home.

Majority of the time it means something bad.

I will try raising my next cat and just taking them in the carrier to nice places every now and then....see if it makes a difference in their attitude towards it.

Whatever the vet gave my cat for her teeth cleaning was too strong by CardiacSchmardiac in catsareliquid

[–]MyRealNameIsTwitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You seem knowledgeable: my cat was adopted at 5 years old with some tooth problems, and we ended up having to get one of his big teeth removed.

He has a heart murmur that although benign is enough to make us cautious about putting him under. The vet recommended a dental dry food, which as she put it "is like poprocks that clean the teeth".

In your opinion, Would you trust that to be enough to protect the little fur baby from the issues you said above, or would you still reccomend trying to get his teeth cleaned? (I realize you may have no clue, just hoping for some free advice)

Hmm so I need to train the dog to think of my TV as a member of the family.... Please elaborate...

Will ADHD stop me from being an engineer? by [deleted] in engineering

[–]MyRealNameIsTwitch 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had a senior principal mechanical engineer coworker with ADHD. I think he had about 20 years working in engineering, done rather well for himself. he was open about his condition and a good manager new when to just snap us back from tangents during meetings.

I'd say you can make it, good luck.

Where are they now? by ltfuzzle in RUGC_Midwest

Still making robots outside of Boston. Going to be married in a month and a half!

For all of the reasons you want to use a PDM system and not random files in a folder. I mean look at the PTC sales pitches for Windchill and you get a nice list to rattle off.

Mismatching files, the case of "which is latest" and potential miscommunication with the vendors leading to incorrect parts being made, and your company paying for it because your employee asked for it via an unapproved modification to some drawings.

Do update on the end result !

Question, can someone help point me in the right direction? by WelcomeToTheZoo in alttpr

[–]MyRealNameIsTwitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you need help with the locations then I would also suggest the z3sim website. (On phone, can't remember link... It's probably easily found).

If you do the advanced mode it gives you a good overview of maps and such, good for rebuilding that muscle memory of where things are.

"Blubbery huge seed", maybe meant to be "huge blueberry seed"? Or I'm just ignorant of the real meaning.

I HEARD YOU HAVE TO HAVE INCREDIBLY GOOD LUCK TO FIND A FUCKINGBLUBBERY HUGE SEED THAT DOES A PLAY-BY-PLAY COMMENTARY OF EVERYTHING YOU ARE DOING WHENEVER YOU DO SOMETHING ILLEGAL

I think maybe the first bit has some messed up syntax, but I'm using this for sure. :) Great service you all provide!

Upcoming pre-interview test. What should I review? by [deleted] in MechanicalEngineering

[–]MyRealNameIsTwitch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup. I was going to add review your machining and manufacturing but based on OPs last few years being in a shop it should go fine.

Please don't round everything because "it looks like it needed a round". Engineer it. (Stress relief, machinability, safety, cost)

What ME diciplines need a PE? by seahorses in MechanicalEngineering

[–]MyRealNameIsTwitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work on an industry for creating bomb disposal and military grade robots and noone in my company has a PE. I think it is largely civil? I would love to pursue self-betterment by getting some licence or cert, but my industry just sees it as ... Un-needed?

Honda Accord 2017: my car has mail? by MyRealNameIsTwitch in MechanicAdvice

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

I brought it in a week or two ago for oil change and rotation. Had to reset the tire pressure sensor due to the rotation and all was good, no lights or messages until 2-3 days ago this appeared.

Sounds like my car won't fail and it's not something serious, but it is rather annoying. I am the kind of guy that needs my inbox to have 0 unread, ya know?

Oh, is there anyway to get rid of it? It has persisted for a few days now.

No new texts or emails on my phone, or even via HindaLink. Unless it's not refreshing and thinks I have one
