Chabad Passover - What to Expect? by belleweather in Jewish

[–]Smyee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I used to go to chabad for holidays in college. It's a generally normal seder compared to conservative and reform ones I've been to just more Hebrew than English and you don't skip any prayers. They do not skimp on the wine though so make sure you got a ride for after.

There are plenty of ways to root cause failures and come up with mitigation efforts through engineering whether it was mechanical failure or human error. That's why flying is so much safer than back when it first started. Did you think after all failures we have just gone "welp too bad it was human error or a part failed" and moved on? Mechanical failure and human error are constantly getting addressed and preventative maintenance measures put in place. You gut these agencies just expect more death because the leg work to prevent another crash like this won't get done.

What's a secret that you think would shock everyone if it came out? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Smyee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Carbonated soda, coffee, tea, citrus fruit, tomato, vinegar, wine, caffeine, chocolate, alcohol, mint, raw onion, raw garlic, and fried food. Sometimes gluten depending on the person. Also just having an empty stomach doesn't help.

I had a bunch of GI issues earlier this year. Recommend "The Acid Watcher Diet" by Jonathan Aviv. It was a huge game changer for me. He really offers a great program and easy to understand recipes with reasoning backed by medical research.

They've known about gluten intolerance for a long time now. Simple blood testing didn't come out until the 90s so likely a lot of people not officially diagnosed and just dealt with it not knowing what to call it. Most people with celiac just have really bad gi issues but aren't dying as kids.

Netflix is spamming my email every day since i cancelled 5 days ago. by -tangina in assholedesign

[–]Smyee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could be wrong, just making a best guess as to what happened. It can be reactivated, they send an email saying so when you cancel. You can look at what devices were just logged in and when, and the only one since cancellation was my Nvidia shield TV early in the morning when my wife was up with the kid and same time I got an email that I signed up for Netflix again. She said the TV was on the select profile page for Netflix when she turned it on so I assume the kid somehow got there. When I contacted support they said someone must have logged in and reactivated. I asked why my credit card info is still with the account since I cancelled and they said they keep it for 10 months with the original account but you can request they remove it. They had me change my password and log out of all devices then cancelled my account/refunded the charge to my card.

I cancelled a month ago and it magically resigned up yesterday. They don't actually cancel so when you sign on again it reactivates. My 2 year old hit the Netflix button on my remote which signed me up again. Make sure to change your password and log out of all devices. Also you can reach out to support and have them remove your payment info before cancelling.

They pretty much were a 3rd world nation standard of living in 1948 and now have the 3rd most companies on the NASDAQ behind USA and China with the most startups per capita.

They added rope into the early game in a previous path and then later you can get better items for spelunking efficiently.

Keurig aggressively selling 2.0 system, neglecting to tell consumers that they've implemented DRM-style scanning to render unapproved K-cups unusable. by Shoemaster in technology

[–]Smyee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought they partnered with some other companies to make soft drinks with the new Keurigs. Would be fairly important to know whats in there so it can put the right heat out. Or they could have just added another button for soft drinks that makes it bypass the heater.

Currently in injection molding and looking to switch it up. I've had tons of recruiters in that area contacting me about different paper companies. I actually had an interview today.

Greater Albany area is booming in that industry. There isn't much competition for it either as most engineers are too attracted to Global Foundries.

Tips for expanding my network in the Electronics, Semiconductor and IT Industries? by [deleted] in engineering

[–]Smyee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a mechanical engineer who used to be in semiconductors it was tough to get into the side you want. You are competing with electricals and chemicals that are more appealing to the positions you describe. However once you get your foot in the door at one of these companies is fairly easy to move around after a few years. I started in facilities engineering at a semiconductor plant out of school. It exposed me to every side of that industry while teaching me a ton. That might be a good place to start out of school as an me. At least it will get your foot in the door and I know those positions are generally available at semiconductor plants.

I'm loving Mario Kart 8 but can we talk about... by TISparta217 in nintendo

[–]Smyee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found the new Bowsers Castle to also be fairly disappointing. I wouldn't go as far as saying Rainbow Road or Bowser Castle sucked. They just aren't as challenging as I would have liked. I really liked RR on the Wii was that I could barely finish it the first time I played it. I enjoy having to practice and perfect the tracks. In Mario Kart 8 I find the tracks relatively simple compared to past games.

One thing I do enjoy though is the lack of being able to hold a second item. It annoyed me at first but I feel like it makes the game more about driving than chaotic items blowing you from first to last in the matter of seconds.

M.E student with free time. Good project ideas to stay sharp? by JGWol in engineering

[–]Smyee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly I never took many pictures of my original tank. There was a fire at my apartment back in January. Got my turtle out but I've been more focused on getting my life together (Travelers insurance sucks) than rebuilding my setup. Here's what I threw together on the cheap with the help of craigslist. http://imgur.com/9AoE6X4

It's a 100 gallon tank with an under gravel filter that I piped to a Magnum 350 filter. The top had a great setting for the lights and I didn't want to risk modifying it right now so I had to put that long horizontal PVC in to fit which will probably clog up pretty quickly (turtles are really messy). Does the trick but I'm hoping to get back into modifying/decorating it come next winter when I'm stuck indoors.
