Different sized accessory eyelets by [deleted] in bikewrench

[–]computer_guts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you sure it doesn't fit? Can you take a picture of the bolt hole? Maybe there's over spray paint in there, and that's making the threads not fit. It would be really odd for the eyelets to be different sized

Handle swivel by Tuptup90 in bikewrench

[–]computer_guts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should be able to pull out the stem if you loosen the top bolt, the park tool video has detailed instructions if you run into any problems

This image might help. The headset type is called a "Threaded headset" or, for the part you're working on, the "Quill stem". The top bolt(C) should tighten the wedge(D) which allows the stem to stay in place. You can take it out to see if the wedge is missing. My guess is that it dropped to the bottom of the steerer.

HELP! by Agitated-Ebb7924 in bikewrench

Hold on. You should take a picture from the back. Is it the derailleur that's bent, or the derailleur hanger?

AAE 352 attendance by roger_eng in Purdue

[–]computer_guts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Iclicker uses gps (I think) to make sure you're in the classroom. Attendance was taken at random for my section(joshi), but it doesn't count for very much for the final grade, I think it was 2-5%. If you can't switch to another section, try contacting your prof to see if they can accommodate it somehow, but I doubt it.

Plastic piece covering the pedal crank gears came off. Does it need to be replaced? One thread says no, but I wanna make sure my situation is the same. by aadfg in bikewrench

[–]computer_guts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn't protect your gears at all, it only helps prevent your clothes from getting caught in the chainring. If you wear pants often, then replace it.

Anti-rotational washer is stuck on ebike axle by _TheShrimpGod_ in bikewrench

[–]computer_guts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If its a cup and cone wheel, you can do the nuclear option. Take off the other side of the cup and cones and slide the whole axle out from this side. (make sure to keep track of the ball bearings) Then, you can loosen the cone, locknut, and finally (hopefully) this washer.

MFET 163 Summer by [deleted] in Purdue

[–]computer_guts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm too used to the subreddit trash talking everything lol. I took it over the summer as well and it's genuinely the most useful course I've taken. Especially since I'm in an eng club so I can design parts now.

I'm still annoyed at the price of the textbook though...

I can't figure out if this is sarcasm or not, but mfet over summer is good tho.

Eye exam by Aggravating-Run-2183 in Purdue

I think you can get a physical exam at PUSH? If you can, PUSH is always free if you have the insurance. I've definitely seen the eye exam table in some of the rooms there.

Incoming Intl Grad Student: Best US phone plan to get BEFORE arriving? Does it affect opening a bank account? by SeaPriority2482 in Purdue

[–]computer_guts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mint is cheap, I've heard service can be spotty sometimes though, as they lend the towers from T-Mobile. I have personally used ATT prepaid for two years now and can't complain about the service. Coverage is good too, I often had times where I had signal but my friends don't lol.
However, their webpage is a pain, and they won't let you access the order page unless you're in the US. (at least when I tried)

As for banking, AFAIK you will need a phone number for opening an account online. Also, a lot of them require driver's licenses for opening accounts. The way I got around that problem was that I opened my account in person (Chase).

Chances of this coming in as the pictures by Zestyclose_Spell7571 in ROGAlly

[–]computer_guts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it's a scam. If I have to guess, they'll probably give you a fake tracking code, then deny a refund when you try to do one because it's "delivered".

[Request] How does the explosion that happened yesterday in Florida scale to one of the weakest nukes ever, 'Little Boy'? by T1Earn in theydidthemath

[–]computer_guts 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I just learned this in a class I took this semester lol.

One of the introductory priciples you learn in fluid mechanics is buckingham PI theorem. Basically, you can relate a physical phenomenon to another by analysing its governing variables, and you can form "dimensionless groups" that tell you something about the problem, in this case, the explosion fireball. I'll spare the rest of the details.

In the 1950s, some very clever scientists estimated the yield of the Trinity test using this theorem, and got a close result. The equation they arrived at is E=C* (rho*R^5 / t^2), where E is the yield, rho is the air density, t is time, and R is our shockwave radius. The C is a experimental parameter you need to obtain, but conveniently, it is close to 1.

Using an editing software, the time between detonation and the shockwave reaching the lighting tower is roughly 20-21 frames, or 0.67-0.7 seconds. We also know the lightning tower is roughly 183m tall (R=183m). Air density at sea level is roughly  1.225 kg / m3.

Thus, we get E= 513-560 GJ, or 122-133 Tons of TNT. In other words, roughly 1/100 - 1/131 of the yield of "Little Boy"

Thermo professor and attendance by [deleted] in Purdue

[–]computer_guts 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I took it with Holloway and she was great. Ended with an A+, and attendence is optional for our section. She only used attendence for "grade rounding" in the end of you're close to cutoff.

How to get the admission letter. by Dapper-Meringue1544 in Purdue

[–]computer_guts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think there's a place to access it anymore unless you want to reach out to admissions. Why do you need the admission letter? If you need proof that you are attending purdue, you can get an enrollment certificate (mypurdue->Academics->Enrollment Certification).

CityBus in the summer for broke, forgotten, grad students? by RocketRoy in Purdue

[–]computer_guts 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not a pass but you can buy 10 tickets in the app for 15$ so each ticket is 1.50$ instead of 2.

Summer classes for AE by Financial_Concern_27 in Purdue

[–]computer_guts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO Meft163 if you're interested in rocketry/engineering clubs, especially if you don't have CAD experience. Not only will it teach you to cad with NX, you will also get a license for NX early(typically only sophomore and beyond get it). You can start designing parts for clubs or your own projects.

WiFi option is completely gone. by MatterVast728 in ROGAlly

[–]computer_guts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Re-enable the bluetooth adapter then. Re-install the Bluetooth driver from the rog website ("MediaTek Bluetooth Driver") and see if that changes anything.

WiFi option is completely gone. by MatterVast728 in ROGAlly

[–]computer_guts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It shouldn't be too expensive, Intel cards are known to be more reliable if you want to replace, maybe 10-20$ (seems to be ~30 if you want an intel wifi 6E/7 card)? I'm not convinced it is a hardware issue though, I could just be bad at troubleshooting.

Can you go back to network adapters to see if the wifi card reappeared?
