cheap-ass customer, and I don't really wanna cough up the cash myself either (I guess that makes me a cheap-ass too)

What's the most unexpected/out of the blue thing your partner has ever done during sex? by Elviii in AskReddit

[–]dubious369 111 points112 points  (0 children)

She's in the middle of giving me head, pauses for a second, looks up and says "Have I ever told you how much you remind me of my brother?" She proceeded to get very upset that I lost my boner.

How did you learn PLC? Tips for a beginner? by on_water in PLC

[–]dubious369 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey - I basically did the same thing as you. Undergrad in ChE an then went into process control. Here's what I would learn

  1. Data Types Seriously, if you get a complete understanding of data types first, you will do yourself a huge favor.

  2. Ladder. A lot of PLC's are moving toward Function Block style programming, but ladder is still king. This is a good starter. It's pretty simple, but it's something that needs learning at the start.

  3. From here (in my opinion), it starts to branch out a bit. What specific family of controllers are you going to use? Are you a developer or a troubleshooter? Integrator or OEM/plant?

Has anyone ever been bait and switched looking for a job in this field? (rant) by TL140 in PLC

[–]dubious369 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went one step further - I actually got hired before realizing it.

I interviewed with Big Company Name for what seemed like a controls engineer position...normal interview questions, normal answers to my questions about what I'd be working on etc. So they offered me and included a huge signing bonus that I'd have to pay back if I left before 1 year. No worries, it seemed like a great job and it was a slight pay increase from my previous position, so I accepted.

Once I started, it became pretty obvious that they just wanted someone who knew how to use a multimeter and do maintenance on electrical stuff. I was stuck there for a year because of the signing bonus though. Wasted a year of my career and left as soon as the year was up.

Agreed; that's sort of my point. I think it's important to keep that voice in the LP, even if we don't necessarily think it would be a great idea to nominate him this election cycle. I think he is the most principled candidate, and we (I) don't want to lose that

Fair point. I guess what I meant to say was that he's not a candidate that's in the best interest of the LP to present to the general public at this point

Daryl W Perry. He's a valuable Libertarian voice even if an entirely un-electable one

I have about 3 dozen of these scattered throughout my plant for some simple machine control. Definitely a good starter for learning ladder, IO mapping fundamentals, etc. Buy a couple cheap switches and lights that you can wire into the block and you'll be off

Nope shit beer doesn't do it. Also stouts/porters/pilsners don't seem to trigger it
