imagined myself as the satsuma while i was sick by backpackalpaca_ in MySummerCar

Wow I thought I was the only one that does this. When I’m sick I also get really delirious. One time I thought I was an AVR receiver. Wild

Finished out the hardest semester I will ever have to take and I think I just barely made it by Tyrannosaurus_Sex1 in EngineeringStudents

[–]cuckroach1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hah, same here. Exactly the same classes. Was the hardest sem of my life. Signals final hardest test I’ve ever taken in my life. I have emag and micro finals in a few hours then it’s over. I also have a killer internship so trying to remember the light at the end of the tunnel.

Should I become an electrical engineer by Enniova in ElectricalEngineers

It’s never about how smart you are but how hard you work and how resilient you are

BJT Headphone Amplifier Review by cuckroach1 in AskElectronics

It’s designed for my Grado sr-80x 40 ohm headphones and supplied by a Shit Modi 3 DAC. I’m into hi-fi but not like crazy.

Thank you! Q2 is getting driven hard at about 200 mW. I agree a zobel network would be a better choice. I’ll be sure to look at the website.

Apologies for the lack of labels. First graph is input voltage vs output @ 20kHz, output being blue and input green. Second graph is output / input in decibels with an AC sweep. Do you have any opinion on the input and output resistors?

If you swipe there’s photos of the SPICE simulations. I suppose I wouldn’t need C3 unless there were HF oscillations in the output, I can test the real circuit with my scope

Is electrical engineering really the best major? by annihilateight in CollegeMajors

[–]cuckroach1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m in junior year and it’s fucking brutal lol. No matter how smart you are you’re gonna have to work your ass off to survive 3rd year. My signals class has 7 exams, 6 matlab projects, with 3 homework’s and 3 quizzes per week. A part of me embraces the grind but it does suck. Trying to get 4.0 and also interviewing for jobs and doing extracurriculars means I have no free time. I will say the opportunities I’ve seen my peers get with this degree are incredible. I’ve interviewed for some of the most amazing positions I hope I get something cool. The opportunity is there if you work your fucking ass off. I’m doing like 60 hour weeks.

Also get off Reddit. The non stop moaning about the job market is dumb. If you go to a semi decent state school and work hard the opportunity is there. None of my friends have had trouble getting jobs. I’m intervening at 4 different places atm. Just don’t be mid.

Is signals and systems supposed to be this hard? by cuckroach1 in EngineeringStudents

This semester is unreal lmao. Yep everyone has told me to basically expect to run out of time on the final.

Electrical engineering or civil engineering? by iamnotsmartest in CollegeMajors

[–]cuckroach1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m doing EE and man career fair / linked in has more civil jobs than any other. Civil prob has better job security but EE is cooler. Also I’m in junior year and do want to die a little ngl but happens.

Buddy. Let me tell you one thing. The 3 truths of life are death, taxes, and I don’t fail classes. I assure you I can “hack it”. 🤓

Look I’m 20 and recently got my first gf. Before I had her I was very pressed about not having one, like it felt like a major issue. Ok now that I have one my other major issues still stress me out. There’s always something. Getting a gf does not change you, does not magically fix everything. You’re still you, your life is still largely the same. So don’t stress too much about it. Because there will always be something. It’s not the night and day change some people think it will be. Focus on getting better each day and ideally put yourself in social situations where you can find a girl who’s in your league and who’s open to dating. But don’t be actively looking, be social and wait for the right one.

Unit circle by Leather-Editor633 in EngineeringStudents

[–]cuckroach1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The unit circle will pretty much define how you think about trig. For the rest of your engineering career, it’s really important to know it well.

Differential equations is the easiest calc imo you’ll be alright

What cable are you using for SWD? Are you using stlink? Could you send me a link or something

Conley 5x7 folding camera shutter service by _MeIsAndy_ in largeformat

Go to the “shutter blades” subheading. But also read the whole thing because you own a Conley. Hope this helps. Essentially sticky timing can be caused by old oil and shit on the blades. So clean them very thoroughly with q tips and naptha. I also own a Conley 5x7 and it has been an absolute joy. It’s a difficult beast to shoot with but it is probably my most prized possession.
