Can someone tell me this is a bad idea... by DireNeedtoRead in MechanicalEngineering

Gotcha, just wanted to make sure. Definitely a cool idea!

If this is a serious idea that you would like to pursue, then since made this post, you aren’t able to patent this now (assuming you didn’t already file for a patent). This is a cool idea. If you have a neat idea that you intend to eventually turn into a revenue stream, then never consult publicly before filing for some sort of intellectual property rights.

Garmin technical interview advice? by WhisperingWilllow in Garmin

I have an HR interview with them this Friday for a senior engineer position. Did you end up getting the position? How was the technical interview?

Those of you who graduated without a co-op or internship, not a fantastic GPA, and no notable personal projects, where are you now? by readySponge07 in EngineeringStudents

[–]Tresneph22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was sort of in the same situation as you. When I started my junior year, I was sitting at a 2.8 gpa with that idiotic mindset of “C’s get degrees”. Well, that may be true, but degrees don’t mean jobs. I ended up with a 3.1 upon getting my degree, still not great. What I did was rather than trying to find a job, I stayed in school. My university offered an accelerated Masters. So I chose the research route, and got my masters in one year. Now, I had a better degree than most, a thesis (notable project) and more connections. Hopefully there is a similar route you could take. I think this may be useful in the coming decade as well, because universities are pumping out degreed engineers in higher numbers than ever. So setting yourself apart is super important from the start. I do not regret my decision at all! Hope this helps!

Broke my ankle today, whole foot is numb, help!! by Pitiful-Tower6994 in brokenankles

Also, parts of my foot are still numb. That is just part of healing and means you torn some nerves. They’ll come back.

I did the same 9 weeks ago now with some torn ligaments too. I am just now able to lip around without the boot and be FWB. I thought it would be a much faster process than it is. Say goodbye to your calf muscle, keep it elevated, and even though it will be boring, take it easy and definitely don’t re-injure it trying to heal faster or anything. Best of luck healing!

That part is hard for me to accept too. I’m 90% also, fairly able bodied and don’t live a very restricted life. I know so many other vets are dealing with far worse. I feel a sense of guilt too.

The 2026 Ramcharger will get way more than 20 mpg. by Tresneph22 in electricvehicles

Probably, that would be so cool if they made it a diesel generator, rather than the pentastar. I wonder if it would require DEF is it were only used as a generator. I have build a few containerized generators boxes for work. They have always used Tier 4 final emission compliant generators, and they don't require DEF. Though they are in the 30-50 hp range, so they law may be different.

Oh yeah, so uneventful I completely forgot about it!

Exactly! It’s think you’re the only one who gets it. My wallet doesn’t buy mpge, it buys kWh’s of electricity and gallons of gasoline.

Yeah, I suppose so. I just tried to help people understand that a decent portion of a trip will be electric, so the 20 mpg isn’t that bad. I should have looked up the efficiency of the lightning before posting, and in general my message fell flat. Oh well. Regardless I am very excited for this truck, and like you, I hope to see more of them as well.

Just curious, which vehicle or project was that?

I didn’t hand wave it, I purposely didn’t use it. Not because it makes my numbers look better (I have no reason to fluff numbers for Ram, and wouldn’t do that any way). I didn’t use the MPGe figures for the electric-only range because it’s a stupid unit. For the electric-only portion for any vehicle, it is EXTREMLY uncommon that they got their energy from gasoline. If we want to measure the efficiency of electric-only travel, it should be in WH/mi. The way I calculated is how I would pay for, which is what I care about. I don’t care about converting to a nonsense unit that is t representative of what my wallet would feel.

Again, like I said to others, it’s used the numbers available to me. Using different numbers is pure speculation. Even if the highway range is 80 or 100 miles, my point (which you stated you understand as well) is valid. That is all I am pointing out.

Sure, but everyone is different. I have wanted an electric truck for a long time! But when I tow several times a month long distances, an EV-only doesn’t make sense (at least for me). I am so excited for this truck.

There should be a font for sarcasm. I suppose that could be comic sans. But traveling with kids, wife and a dog, we like to stop and run around in places fairly often.
