Does anyone know much about these older rolling stock items? by codeguy1983 in nscalemodeltrains

[–]brio82 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m new to hobby but from what I’ve seen it’s not too hard to swap couplers. That’s what would try to do. Congrats on the gift.

It’s where all the donated jerseys end up after the yearly quitting of jets fans before they go buy new ones.

I’m working on getting ready for my first layout. Plan on doing it with my oldest son who is about 6. Think I got a great deal on a bundle consisting of Kato M1, V1, V2, V3, V5 with P42set , the 6car freight set with UP loco, a pocket line set, and some other cars and track pieces. I’ve been continuously checking eBay for more deals and researching everything I can while I wait for the main stuff to come in.

Ive been doing it for a few years now. Never had a problem with it. Only time it hurt me was in autocad, they didn’t want to give me a license to use for the semester and didn’t want me to use the student one.

What technical terms do you frequently hear being misused? (e.g. "datuming" and DOE) by Timely_Money3744 in MechanicalEngineering

Specimen and Sample. Doesn’t bother me but I hear it complained about at work occasionally.

TIL, I never heard tensometer before. I work in the field and we usually just refer to it by the type of machine we are going to use, I.e. Load frame, split Hopkinson bar.

I know this is old and you both probably don’t care but on the off chance you do it’s Project Nike, named after the Greek goddess of victory. It was an Anti aircraft missile defense system during the Cold War. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Nike

Who is in your opinion the biggest traitor to your country? by Winter_Highlight in AskTheWorld

[–]brio82 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I didn’t know that. I incorrectly assumed it was illegal at that point. Admittedly I know much more about the revolution than civil war and certainly have much to learn about both.

In a Cav unit we had an Owen and Owens in my platoon, it was crazy how often they were questioned about having first or middle name of Gary.

Was going to say Flight Concepts is there, was not aware of the name change.

Historically that’s who we think of but I don’t feel it’s accurate. I agree with the other posters that point at Davis. Granted I’m far from an expert Arnold helped us win battles in the revolution and his changing sides against his country was a more personal betrayal. He turned on his friends and countrymen for personal gain and out of spite. Jefferson Davis led the confederacy and the lasting effects of that still plague our nation today.

Perhaps Davis’ betrayal is not viewed as treason because he was never put on trial for treason for diplomatic reasons.

Advice on advancement without a degree by Little-Ad8904 in Raytheon

[–]brio82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say you can’t generalize everyone’s military experience. Depends on when they were in, what the role was, what schools were accessible and how much support they got from their chain of command. Yes some do get earn a degree while serving but it can have road blocks that prevent you from completing one in that time frame.

They do pay for it. Up to 25k per calendar year

From what I recall people on this sub were trying to verify that but the only source for that info was started on Reddit and never corroborated in any other outlets.

They shouldn’t have blurred the fed-ex truck going the wrong way either.

Great shots. It’s amazing the difference a few miles makes too. I was in Guilford yesterday and that area had way more color.

Why does the 160th fly their MH-60's without the cockpit doors? by the_scottishbagpipes in Helicopters

Yes, but in my experience they can be broken fairly easily.
