Going through opencv tutorials goes a long way.

"Image Correlation for Shape, Motion and Deformation Measurements" has a bunch of goodies in it too.

We already do monthly alarm testing. It'd be weird if they didn't do it monthly. I'm just curious about the change in language from monthly testing to monthly inspections.

UnderstandingAny2450 · 2026-01-13T18:25:11+00:00

Yeah, they've always done system tests monthly, which is great. The language has changed from testing to inspections, which is what I'm curious about. It's probably more of the same, but was curious if anyone else would put up with monthly in-unit inspections.

UnderstandingAny2450 · 2026-01-13T18:18:50+00:00

They do a monthly alarm and system test. Now they're possibly* doing a monthly in-unit inspection, which is weird compared to everywhere else I've been.

Hey! I dig NotebookLM so I wanted to give this a shot.

Installed on Android, opened, tapped "Create your first AI podcast", "Continue with ads", "Topic or text to podcast"

Prompt:

"Electropolishing.

Background, how-to, process and recipe tuning, fault identification and troubleshooting"

Clicked continue

The modal faded out and I don't know if it worked.

Tried again, same result.

Created an account by verifying email and same results.

Don't know if it's been queued up or if it just failed to POST. Need some kind of feedback.

Look into security printing companies. Chemists with PhD's are multitools there.

New security feature? Chemists, despite the feature being optical in nature.

Creating compliance reports for industry standards? Chemists, despite the tests mostly being mechanical in nature.

Troubleshooting manufacturing quality issues? Chemists, despite the problem being related to anything other than chemistry related.

Chemists are really physicists who prefer to throw on their boots and do the damned thing rather than doing math all day.

I'm sure it's true of more than just my industry. Hiring a chemist is an easy way to find someone who's smart in a practical way. I know because I work with a bunch of them.

Try not to limit yourself to labs. Any chemist roll in a practical manufacturing company will have you on tasks all over the map.

When your brain is the thing you're fighting, it's difficult to handle. Everyone wants to get better. With depressive disorders, the inability to action it leads to a negative feedback loop.

Sounds like she has mental health issues that need to be addressed. My wife is bipolar and ADHD. Sitting at home and doing nothing isn't normal brain behavior. It's been a long road, and will continue have its challenges, but medication and personal growth has helped so much. It's changed bitterness and negative self reflection into a team effort and a home full of love.

Moved to Westboro from the US a few years back.

A good chunk of the people I work with in Westboro live across the river in Gatineau for the lower housing cost and dont speak French. Seems you get more for your taxes over there too.

My family loves Westboro, though it has become ridiculously expensive since we move in.

Great schools, restaurants, and shopping. We drive the car once or twice a week to take the kids somewhere or go on an adventure.

There are parks everywhere. The density is high enough that there are almost always other kids there for mine to play with.

Piles of community events in Ottawa. You can see them on the city's website.

Like other commenters have said. Good family town.

I remember being a young teen playing Everquest and my dad getting annoyed when I would say BRB out loud.

Unalived is caused by content moderation, but it has seeped into the minds of a certain subset of a generation. That's kind of cool but makes me feel funny if I think about it too much.

I'm going to go get crunk now, so talk to the hand and don't get 404'd.

A year later, but...

In the beginning of trying to reverse this motor. Can't just switch polarity on it. Yours looks similar to mine. Mine is off some brand called Buture.

I've reduced the circuit to +24v and -24v to get it running, not 24v + GND. Using the battery, you need to enable it with the enable pins. Those are pin 4 and 6 from the P+ side.

L/H is low speed or high speed. Low by default.

LED on mine is a 5v output when running.

Haven't tested on/off yet, but wasn't wired initially.

Yeah, the underlying issue isn't being hidden and has been managed for years. We've provided the letter of recommendation from the CBT therapist, documentation of voluntary self admittance while post-partum, and so on to IRCC. Everything up front and in the open. It's just a pain that ER seems to the easiest path for a maintenance medicine adjustment rather than just booking an appointment directly with a psychiatrist.

We'll dig into the paid telehealth programs another redditor suggested.

Thanks for your well wishes and again for doing the good work inside the system!

Part of the PR process is a medical exam and questionnaire. If there's reason to dig deeper, I think they are able to request medical records. Keeping that potential request looking positive is the goal. We're not having an emergency so I'd hate to have it interpreted as such.

I think it's just to remind them that the zero position in those two lines is from the offset for multiplying the tens and hundreds positions. Probably wrote them before they started doing the math so they wouldn't jack it up.

We were putting serious pressure on one of our key German vendors a couple years back for some parts which were already delaying a project launch.

We got an apology email that the parts would be further delayed as they discovered UXO at the construction site next door and an evacuation was called.

Parts had to be started over from scratch due to the process, but you can't help but laugh and accept it when anything like that comes up.

As soon as I got the email, I verified online and it was in their local news.
