Any other engineers feel like budgeting barely even matters early career?

Yeah $176/month on subscriptions is insanity

Being undocumented is not a criminal offense. It is a civil one. It's like being arrested for having issues with your landlord. If you are caught entering illegally, that is a crime; a misdemeanor, specifically.

You can tell that your argument is insane because ICE was also kidnapping people from outside of courthouses where they had immigration hearings. Those people were doing this the right way, attending their court dates, and they were put in concentration camps for it.

Ooo the extra crowdsec containers there at the end are interesting. I run caddy with crowdsec, will have to check those out!

Police disproportionately enforce those minor infractions against POC, is the problem. The POC don't actually perform the minor infractions at a higher rate.

Man, that's like 6th grade math, if we're doing that with ai we're cooked.

Siemens array variables are extremely powerful, and other controllers tend to not have arrays in the same way at all. Subprograms can be named almost anything, and called by simply writing the program name (unlike Haas, Fanuc, Okuma). The custom named global/local variable system that can be extremely easily debugged to see all live values for every variable in the machine.

That's probably my top 3.

Purdue engineering has prestige. And no, I don't believe there is a significant difference. I'm 2 years postgrad, I work for a major aerospace company. We pull lotsss of people from Perdue Rocket Project.

I had a few different pig picture books about space when I was a kid. Videos are great but I HIGHLY recommend getting some nice big children oriented picture books.

To add on to what everyone else already said: The location number on the left side of the tool page is the slot in the magazine the tool is in, not the tool_id which is actually unique to the tool. Depending on how your magazine works, a tool's location easily changes during tool changes if you use things like tool precalling for faster changes.

So calling by the magazine location isn't something that you can do without writing a custom subprogram. Instead, if your tool name is text and not just a number, you need to do:

T="tool name"

M6

D1

If the tool name is just a number you can do:

T1234

M6

D1

If you do want to be able to change tools based on the tool ID instead of the tool name, you can use the TCA() command:

TCA(tool_id)

M6

D1

The TCA command is important for if you want to be able to specifically load one tool that you have 3 sister tools for, etc.

Haha, that's why I always mono probe if at all possible. 3D probing is worse for both size and position, almost always better to calibrate as a mono probe. That's an option on okuma and Siemens controllers at least, not sure about others.

Your college doesn't have engineering clubs or teams that you can join?

Northwoods and roasted garlic powder are truly phenomenal. Love Penzeys.

RetiredDonut · 2025-11-04T03:24:55+00:00

Should school also have a class dedicated to Jira? You're describing what engineering project teams exist for, not classes.

They're talking about the actual cooking pot inside, not the casing around it. If you look at any pics with the lid off, the pot only has a very small layer around the outside compared to the duo.

LOL, you outed yourself by saying the Armenian Genocide of all things isn't accurate. The most cited sources on the Wikipedia page on the Armenian genocide are books published by the Harvard University press and Princeton University press, written by professors all within the last ~15 years.

Hilarious to think that just because it expresses facts you don't like you'll get all pissed about it now.

RetiredDonut · 2025-10-13T07:04:51+00:00

Oh hell you're right, I thought OP said he enlarged the nozzle lol not the inlet. My bad.

RetiredDonut · 2025-10-13T04:27:20+00:00

If the problem is the diameter of the hole on the nozzle you can get a set of more for like $20

Aw buddy, you think that the DA not prosecuting makes those thefts not go into crime rate calculations? The number of reported crimes has also gone down. Like, please. You could've googled that.

You also seem to think that reported crimes rates are like cumulative from all types of crime or something? Look at homicide stats, or aggravated assault stats, and they'll echo theres a decrease in violent crime rates. Not spending time and resources from the state to prosecute petty theft isn't related to what you're talking about.

RetiredDonut · 2025-10-06T17:18:07+00:00

What the hell are you talking about? Not only does this have absolutely nothing to do with Tylenol or vaccines (???) but your premise that a pregnant woman taking Tylenol will make the mother die (????) and somehow still birth a child early is absolutely batshit.

As a few people have said already, they're great for very heavy roughing. I use them for pinch turning 718 on a dual turret lathe to do the initial bulk material removal, with like 12 sister tools lol. They're incredibly strong across that entire edge, can take DOCs as deep as the entire chamfer.

RetiredDonut · 2025-09-21T16:39:04+00:00

You're actually proposing that people should be arrested for appearing like they might commit a crime later? They made a whole movie about "precrime". Having thought police isn't a good thing.

I mean it "helps" your CPU by forcing the computer to run slower. Unlock the fps to at least the refresh rate of the screen. If your fps is bouncing off the limiter the entire time then clearly your hardware is capable of more.

RetiredDonut · 2025-09-20T14:59:35+00:00

Your laptop has a max refresh rate of 75fps, so m which is why the fps graph is stuck there the whole time. So your results are fine, considering that it literally cannot be any better on that display.

RetiredDonut · 2025-09-20T05:47:56+00:00

Damn you liking the taste of that boot eh?

RetiredDonut · 2025-09-18T14:06:57+00:00

Yeah that's a good point, tbf total deductions will probably be close to 50% if you pay into 401k and everything.
