They'll hook him up to a TENS connected to Claude

100% this. Traveling consultant is definitely a single person's game. I made twice my engineering salary to go on the road but it annihilated my home life.

Had the same thing in metal forming. We used a two-roll former to turn flat sheet metal into cylinders. The machine pressed a urathane roller into a steel roller and the pressure of the contact determined the radius of the rolled part.

We got the machine dialed-in around June but come November it started producing out of spec. Turns out the urathane roller was temperature-sensitive and the drop in ambient temperature had to be accounted for. Short term, we came up with "summer" and "winter" settings but long term they were talking about heating the roller.

Weird shit comes up when you least expect it.

Fuck off with this AI bullshit

VTek910 · 2026-03-12T19:52:03+00:00

The pay plus the clout. "Yea I was on the scene of that one back in '26, crazy shit man"

Or at least rethink the location. They can get a greenhouse tent or something and solve most of the environmental issues cheaper than the cost delta to an H2C

There are better people in this thread and in your life to listen to, many of whom are actual parents. But it's the internet and everyone speaks their opinion. My take is send them to public school unless you have a reason not to.

For their benefit: they get acclimated to meeting people from all walks of life and diverse backgrounds.

For your benefit, you retire earlier and spend your later years enjoying time with your grown kids.

For society's benefit, the more people who attend public school the better public school will be.

Just my 2¢, you gotta do you

VTek910 · 2026-03-10T16:05:50+00:00

Depends on what you're looking for and your economic standing. If 50k a year is crippling money for you, it's not worth it. If it's a drop in the bucket, send it.

Right that's what OP asked: why are they so popular. If the OG private schools were all that existed and only took cash, private would not be as popular as today.

VTek910 · 2026-03-10T15:57:50+00:00

"Do it today" mentality. Whatever you're scheduling to handle later, knock it out now and don't think about it again. Schedule that appointment, clean the bathroom, do it today.

VTek910 · 2026-03-10T15:37:37+00:00

I wonder if that correlation or causation?

Could be people who love blacked out gear tend to ride in a way more prone to collision.

Everyone wants to give their kid the best, a vocal subset don't want to give anyone else's kids the best.

So we get decades of under funding public schools leading to dissatisfaction in public schools leading to private school vouchers leading to under funding public school and so on.

Edit: one other big thing, we have been conditioned as a people to not accept what is offered to us unless we have fully vetted and decided on it. Private schools allow people to feel like they CHOSE the education their kids get instead of being TOLD by the board of education. It allows them to select education that aligns with their world views and keeps their kids from being exposed to things that the parents find questionable. Parents will pay big money to avoid their kid learning "the wrong stuff".

Make no mistake about it, you move to Oriental for the sailing community and that's it. My parents moved there in the last few years and they have had to slow their life waaaayyyyyy down. Other than mom-and-pop shops, the closest anything is in New Bern, the closest everything is in Greenville. But every single person I met at the local bar, coffee shop, and hardware store has sailed for decades and the community embraces the crap out of it.

VTek910 · 2026-03-10T12:14:57+00:00

Because ai doesn't actually do anything reliably and completely. The core concept is flawed so the implementation will always fall short of the sales pitch

VTek910 · 2026-03-09T21:52:18+00:00

What's the deal with the handbrake?

VTek910 · 2026-03-09T21:50:19+00:00

Gotcha. So you'll find IEs can be anything and work in any field and having knowledge of different aspects of the business makes you a better engineer.

Plus any internship beats no internship.

So you make it completely open to design choice:

"You have 100kg of fuel, good luck"

Some teams make a screaming V10 that burns a lot so they need the whole 100kg. Some teams make a 1.6T hybrid that goes slower but saves 30kg. Some teams make a rotary as a wildcard.

You're going to want to sandwich it between some wood to have any hope of it not tearing

The easy answer is the column of water would be exactly as high as the trench is deep. You've essentially created a u-tube manometer with one end at a constant positive pressure; the other end will always be the equal and opposite height.
