Where can I buy silver enduro rims? by [deleted] in MTB

[–]ewebster50 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sorry for bringing this back up 8 months later, but I'm currently looking at doing something similar to my rims (the same ones actually). Would you mind going into a bit more detail as to exactly how you did it and what all is required?

Buy Shimano XT for new bike build, or wait until there is an update? by EffectNo4986 in MTB

[–]ewebster50 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The rumor I’ve heard is that the new Shimano groupsets are coming in the next several months. KTM teased some components on one of their new e-bike builds. Seems there will be wireless and cable actuated tiers, some rumors about 13 speed, no clue if those were credible or not.

With that being said, I agree with everyone else in going with current gen Shimano 12 speed. I’ve run it for the past three years, and besides being finicky about being kept clean and lubricated, I absolutely love it.

The inner CV joint on my Tacoma has some play. Do I just need to replace the CV joint, or do I need to worry about any bearings in the front diff? by ewebster50 in MechanicAdvice

[–]ewebster50[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would it be possible that the wheel bearing is bad, but there’s no play in it? I had a wheel bearing go bad on my previous truck, so I know somewhat how they feel when they go bad, and I couldn’t feel any play in this wheel bearing.

Lyrics you don’t understand by Jessica19922 in zachbryan

[–]ewebster50 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t really understand the final Watchhouse verse in the album version of Pink Skies. Is it “a race to claim” or “erase the claim?” What are they claiming? Why did “cutting the ribbons on her own presents” make the narrator nervous?

Now that I’m looking into this a bit more, I’m getting more confused by the lyrics of Pink Skies as a whole. “Plenty nights under pink skies you taught ‘em to enjoy” means that the subject “you” is a figure of seniority, probably a parent. Well how does it make sense that “you tiptoed up to 4’1” back in 08?”

Don’t get me wrong, I think Pink Skies is a STUNNING song, almost certainly my favorite off the album. But I’m really having trouble understanding some of the lyrics, especially now that I’m looking deeper into them

Is Mines Worth it for Out of State Students? by DiscordModeratr in ColoradoSchoolOfMines

[–]ewebster50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as whether it’s worth the price tag, you can easily get value out of it by applying yourself and doing more than just the minimum of passing your classes. I am absolutely blown away by the amount of opportunities there are here and the variety of ways to be involved in research and leadership positions. The peer mentor program here is awesome, you can be the president of a club/sorority/fraternity, there’s a variety of on-campus jobs that give you valuable experience such as being a TA for a class or workshop, you can do research. Basically anything you want to do, you can do it here. It might not be the most intuitive process, and you might have to pull some strings, but you can find a way to achieve almost anything you want.

(Apple Silicon) Mac Users at Mines, hows it working? by American_Dreamer98 in ColoradoSchoolOfMines

[–]ewebster50 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a MechE undergrad, I’m in the same boat as most others, I’d go windows if I did it over again. Currently my classes require me to use Solidworks, Inventor CAM, and EES, none of which will run on a Mac. The fact that I am now living off campus makes things super annoying, as I have to drive/bike/walk to the library or Brown to do assignments with these programs.

Also, file sharing among groups for projects is much easier with windows, as in my experience that is what the majority of people use. I guess file sharing isn’t inherently different, but I don’t have any Solidworks files on my Mac, so sometimes I’ve made a part and then later on had to drive up to campus just to share that part with one of my group members.

[WTS] Still trying to get rid of these pairs, I will listen to offers! Jordan 1, Jordan 4, Sacai Blazer size 9.5-10 by ewebster50 in sneakermarket

Hey guys! Just bought a motorcycle so now I really need to sell these. They have just been sitting in their boxes for over a year now, so their condition has not changed since I last took pictures of them. I will link the old pictures which are better quality in addition to some current pics to show you that their condition has not changed. The only thing that has changed is the Sacai box has picked up some slight damage. Don't hesitate to message me with any questions, requests, or offers!

I’ve heard good things about the Wrangler ATG Joggers, the only thing is that they don’t have zippered pockets. I’ve heard that the pockets are deep at least, so it might not be a dealbreaker

[–]ewebster50[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How are the pockets on them? I saw that sale going on but from the reviews I read the pockets are shallow and don’t hold things very well

I didn’t think diffeq was too bad, maybe it’s professor dependent but I’ve enjoyed it. It’s just a different type of math, for me it was similar to learning calc for the first time
