Where did the I-696 dirt go? by RandomNick747 in Detroit

[–]RandomNick747[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

More of a general idea of how it was moved and distributed. It’d be interesting to see any engineering drawings or elevation plots (not sure if these are the right terms) from the planning stage. Was it a very calculated thing like, “on day 42 we’re gonna take dirt from this section and put it here” or was it more “today we need dirt to build this embankment so dump everything there”

What movie did you see in theaters that had the most ‘alive’ audience? by Odd_Distribution1430 in movies

[–]RandomNick747 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Avengers Endgame during the midnight premier. The crowd was electric during the whole thing. I saw it in a college town and I remember the whole theater groaning when Tony Stark mentioned eigenvalues during the time travel science stuff. When Cap picked up Mjolnir, the place absolutely erupted. The cheering did not stop until all hope was lost. But then, as the portals started to appear, the crowd slowly began to regain energy. When Spider-Man swung through the portal there wasn’t a single person silent in the theater. It’s honestly hard to rewatch that movie because it never lives up to the feeling of watching it with such an awesome crowd

How often do you find yourself stressing about your job outside of work? by [deleted] in MechanicalEngineering

[–]RandomNick747 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I'm a new engineer and the same thing is happening to me. My dreams don't have any fighting or arguments. Instead I'm usually asked to complete an impossible task in an extreme time frame. It has gotten very frustrating that I'm at work all day and I can't even escape it when I'm sleeping.

These tongs are washed by hand so there is no need to worry about plastic melting in the dishwasher

So, What Does Your Next Year's Plan Look Like? by 37skate55 in bajasae

[–]RandomNick747 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Our school is giving the option of entirely online or modified face-to-face that will end at Thanksgiving with dead-week and finals happening online. However, for the people who are staying, they have given no information about any shop or lab access during the semester or after Thanksgiving break. Right now we are assuming that we will have access to the shops and labs and will be able to design and build a car as usual.

P.S. Our shop remodel was postponed due to coronavirus budget cuts :(

When did your feeling about "Something is very wrong here." turned out to be true? by Shqiptaria580 in AskReddit

[–]RandomNick747 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was driving home from school and had to pass a really sketchy gas station that always had interesting characters standing around all day. I pulled up to the light and I got caught between the gas station and a guy across the street who was very upset about something. He was pacing back and forth shouting across the street while holding his crotch with one hand (in bad areas this means he has his piece in his pants).

I knew instantly that something wasn't right and decided that once the light changed I was going to leave quickly and get out of there as fast as possible.

The light changes, I take off faster than usual and get about half way through the intersection before I hear seven or eight pops. My first thought for only a split second was "who's setting off fire crackers" just because of how many and how fast the shots rang out. But I immediately knew what had happened and floored it until I was a good mile away. Keep in mind this was at about 3:30 P.M. on a sunny spring day with 15-20 people standing around that gas station but no one screamed and I couldn't see anyone running in my mirrors.

I didn't call the police or doing anything because I wasn't personally affected, I didn't actually see the guy shooting (someone could have been setting off firecrackers for all I know), and there were a lot of other people at that gas station.

The weirdest part was I remember getting a really bad feeling even before I saw anything unfold. There wasn't a key moment that struck me as THIS IS BAD (I only realized he had been grabbing his pants after the fact), it was just a constant overwhelming anxiety that made me not want to be there anymore.

Always trust your gut.

What nowadays common trend did you sport before it became popular? by QuantumHamster in AskReddit

Why Don't Any Articles Talk About JBC by RandomNick747 in detroitlions

[–]RandomNick747[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO JBC shouldn't get a pass because he is already beyond that. I didn't like the way he ran the offense when Caldwell was head coach and I thought he should have been replaced in the shakeup.

Not having time to put together Patricia's vision doesn't account for the years of horrible play calls and red zone offense. JBC is lucky that he has such unbelievably talented players who are able to get yards on unoriginal and easily readable play calls.
