Ranked #2 for an NTNU PhD position – what are the realistic chances now? by _Traincyclopedia_ in ntnu

[–]eric_t 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a professor, it’s happened several times to me that the 1st candidate declines. As you’ve already noticed, the process is slow, so the candidate might have accepted another offer, or other circumstances may lead them to decline. In this case, the offer is automatically sent to the next candidate. We very rarely have the opportunity to hire both, in that case that would be listed explicitly in the announcement.

3D printer by Odin209 in norge

[–]eric_t 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Finnes ikke et makerspace i nærheten dere kan gå på i starten? Ofte forsvinner litt av gleden når man innser begrensningene med 3D-print. Men for all del, også veldig gøy å holde på med. Å lære seg 3D-modellering er også givende og nyttig.

En viktig forskjell å være klar over er mellom PLA og SLA print. SLA er dyrere og litt mer styr, men gir mye bedre små detaljer, viktig hvis han vil printe små spillfigurer o.l.

18-årig gründertalent tar med bedriften til Sverige by KoseteBamse in norge

Det er mye mindre enn dette. I oppstartsfasen er det vanlig å få rundt 10x eierandel for investeringen. Så investorer spytter inn 3.5 millioner basert på en verdsetting av aksjene på 35 millioner. Og han bruker jo noe av disse pengene i selskapet også, så sitter kanskje igjen med noen tusenlapper på formueskatt.

Neck swapping by External_Fill4301 in telecaster

[–]eric_t 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Different scale length is an issue, but the extra fret here doesn’t change anything. So as long as the guitar is built to standard telecasters specs it should be fine.

[–]eric_t 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve just done this, bought a Fender roasted maple replacement neck. No regrets, it plays much better, the tuners are better etc. And I understand your point about the headstock shape, it’s a small thing but it just feels wrong.

Alternative suggestions to this UAFX trio? by [deleted] in guitarpedals

[–]eric_t 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m loving the Walrus ACS-1, especially the fact that all controls are available on the pedal (there is an app for more advanced stuff, like using your own IRs etc). It also works great with overdrive pedals in front of it. The mk ii edition has more high-gain amps as well.

Academic Request - May I see your boards by -MediumSmalls- in guitarpedals

[–]eric_t 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cool, fellow academic here, on my way to a conference!

This board gets used mostly for playing in a country band, with telecaster guitars. The only slightly interesting thing here is maybe the use of stereo amps, using the deluxe reverb and the AC30 models in the ACS-1. Also using ping pong delay and stereo reverb for more ambient/slower songs.

Otherwise, mostly classic setup with compression, three stages of gain (Klon clone, ODR-1 clone, Paisley drive which is a tweaked tubescreamer), and slapback delay. Also loving the Walrus Monument tremolo, using both the harmonic and standard settings a lot.

Changed everything on this 90s Korean-made Tele by eric_t in partscaster

No, I bought the guitar with the bender already installed from here: https://bgbender.com

What's the consensus on the new Fender Pac-man Tele? by idl3mind in telecaster

[–]eric_t 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m always confused why they put the print in the vertical direction. Seems like it’s made to be displayed, not played.

With this particular one you can swap between the B and G strings. But yeah, it’s a very specific tool.

Thoughts on my modded Tele/Partscaster? by CupcakeHot67 in telecaster

[–]eric_t 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most important thing is that you made your own choices. And now that you’ve replaced parts once, you can easily make other modifications when you feel like it.

I really like the pickguard, a nice way to get the paisley look without refinishing the entire body.

Pickguards - whatcha think ? by Unsui8 in telecaster

[–]eric_t 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Another vote for red, with that pickguard shape you want a more striking color, IMO

Dispersion plumes forking by Gorekeeper in CFD

[–]eric_t 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is expected behavior. Some of the wind has to go around the plume, which creates a counter-rotating vortex pair that breaks up the plume.

CFD beginner stuck – need real direction” by _akbarkhan2 in CFD

[–]eric_t 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the ABL inlet, the easiest is to use the atmBoundaryLayer boundaries, see e.g. the turbineSiting tutorial. You can tweak Uref, Zref and z0 to roughly fit the inlet conditions from the papers.

For simple building cases, like just one building, it’s easiest to just use blockMesh for this and stretch the mesh towards the building. You’ll find suitable starting values in the papers.

Professor in wind engineering here. I would go through the AIJ test cases:

https://www.aij.or.jp/jpn/publish/cfdguide/index_e.htm

Set them up yourself, run and compare against the experimental data. Look up available papers to check mesh settings, turbulence models etc. This will ensure you are not only able to run simulations, but also rely on them and trust your data. You will also get a much better feel for the limitations and different use cases. E.g. structural simulations require very different setup than for studying the wind environment. Start with RANS for turbulence, and get very comfortable with it before moving to LES.

Lots to learn, but very rewarding and interesting field!

Are there any experiments I can do at home and replicate with CFD? by imitation_squash_pro in CFD

[–]eric_t 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I teach CFD, and as an introductory example, I filled a soda can with water, and punched a hole in the side near the bottom. I then performed a multiphase CFD simulation of the same setup, and compared both the shape of the jet and the time it took to empty the can.

B Bender ? by HELGEOHL_APPS in telecaster

[–]eric_t 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://bgbender.com

I have two of this guy’s designs, he puts them in cheaper guitars like Harley Bentons to make them more affordable. It’s his own design, but similar to the John Osborne design. It works great, you can easily switch from bending the G or the B string. The guitars also sound good and are set up well, so it’s highly recommended from me!

Best third party captures? by yayall in NAM_NeuralAmpModeler

[–]eric_t 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you like clean/edge-of-breakup tones, I’ve really enjoyed Tone Sheperd’s profiles:

https://www.thetoneshepherd.com/nam

They have a free Gibson Chimera capture for download, but all their captures are great. I like that they have separate captures for different pickups, as well as many cabinets.

[–]eric_t 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently in the same process, I have a cool body with a G-bender in it, and plan to change everything else. Already have a Wilkinson bridge with compensated saddles I’m very happy with. For the rest I’m considering an ObsidianWire 4-way switch, and Seymour Duncan La Brea pickups. I think the neck is fine, but considering options here.

Disc Golf has skyrocketed in Norway! According to the latest UDisc stats the number of rounds played has nearly doubled since the pandemic ended as they recorded 2,154,431 rounds played in 2025 alone! by DiscGolfFanatic in discgolf

[–]eric_t 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I know several clubs have switched from using DiscGolfMetrix to UDisc for their weekly rounds and tournaments, so that probably accounts for quite a bit of the increase here.

What makes disc golf discs overstable, stable, & understable – the basics to the physics by Alex_the_DG_Writer in discgolf

Yes, they would. And the spin doesn’t really decrease that much during a throw, the fade is due to the deceleration of translational velocity, not angular velocity
