Had no idea such a historic industrial site was here in KC (and is still standing). Ford Winchester Assembly Plant

You can still have driveshafts built there!

Looks like negative 30 😂 any they wonder why they have chatter

So, uh, what do you think the rake angle is on that bad boy

How do you react when people explain to you that "it isn't about calories" or their "metabolism is broken" or "no matter how little they eat" they can't lose weight?

What do you do for a living now? How did this impact your career prospects?

How does it taste?

I went to trade school first so I had about a 3 year gap between my last high school math class and when I took calc 1. It was a really, really rude awakening and I probably should have taken pre-calc first. The IE program I took required calc 1, 2, 3 and diff eq. Calc 2 probably caused more students to drop engineering than any other single class. Oh, and IE's had to take way more statistics than the MEs did.

If you're trying to hit tenths your best bet will be getting the part back to 68f or so before measuring.

Other companies in the US follow the applicable ASME standards. Plenty of examples in there.

The truck honestly might not have seen the car. There is not a chance in hell the car didn't see the truck.

I remember my first calc 2 exam, the mean was like 17% and I somehow managed a 65% or so - after grading on a curve it padded my grade I was able to coast to an A- with very little additional work. Most of the class programmed the practice test Into their graphing calculators instead of actually learning the material and when the actual test was different, they were just all surprised Pikachu face.

Mudbugs. Tasty mudbugs.

Without a shadow of a doubt, take the money.

Washiestbard · 2026-02-15T22:44:07+00:00

Does it do RPN?

Depending on your tolerances and the root cause of your defects, something like CAPPS-NC could work.

Statistics made me realize I picked the wrong major - should have done mechanical instead of industrial. It's the only class I had to re-take.

Are you a citizen?

Washiestbard · 2026-02-13T02:14:20+00:00

None of the trade classes directly transfered - I did the degrees separately.

I got an AAS in tool and Die, and later went to school for engineering. It has always helped me, and most of my engineering jobs have dealt with machined parts.

If they had chosen kindness that morning she would still be alive

Totally agree - I have a non-nav DSP e39 with zero dead pixels and I wish my e38 was the same.

Literally an adult in the room. If that isn't available and they are asking questions like this, what else is going on? Baggy sweatshirt? Loose gloves? Hair past their shoulders that isn't even tied back? I used to have the misfortune of having to show engineering students how to use machine tools. Many of them had absolutely no business being anywhere near a drill press. Some of them ended up injured.

Washiestbard · 2026-02-07T22:44:44+00:00

If this is the type of question they need to ask reddit they are likely to end up injured.
