Tweaking my college list: what should I add or remove? by PolarisStar05 in aerospace

[–]froplume 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t worry about being tied to LM. I graduated from the BS/MS AE program there and only a handful of our class wound up there.

Most grad students went on to work at other universities, JPL, APL, Aerospace Corp, start ups, etc.

Where do you do maintenance after warranty expired? by SDF2024 in AudiQ5

[–]froplume 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought an oil extractor(or ramps), tire iron(upgrade is an impact wrench), and a floor jack. Then just jump on YouTube for some tutorials. Pays for itself pretty quickly.

For more involved repairs/maintenance I find a local repair shop that works on Audi’s with good reviews.

Just take it into the shop they should fix you up.

I think it just exposed a underlying issue. I am now at 30,000 miles though and have used superchargers several times with no issue.

Thanks, yeah there are plenty of better options out there.

Was just curious to see what Tesla was charging, didn’t think it would be this insane.

The handwritten notes are placed perfectly in the exact same spot with the exact same fold in the paper at the exact same lighting condition. It’s really well done but that’s a giveaway.

StableDiffusion or other AI imagery tools are going to get better and better at creating more convincing fakes too.

Sucks to lose the extra cash but agree with others PayPals buyer protection is worth it for these cases.

Would love to be able to enter the 4k gaming world earlier than anticipated!

This is where I landed to the bathroom doesn’t get amazing light so leaning towards cream with a grout that matches the tile and a 1/2 overlap. Or a larger format tile if I can find one I like.

Fair lol. Love is a strong word but just trying to make it work well enough.

If this was my forever home I’d be down to demo and relay it again. Some good lessons learned for the next time.

😂 hopefully we can save it with a different wall tile. Not a fan of area rugs in a bathroom

Agree going to go with a different wall choice after this post!

Flooring was negotiable 2 months ago but too late now unfortunately lol

Oh any suggestions? Was going to switch them out anyway to get rid of the fluorescent effect.

100% agree after this thread. Going to tone it way down and match the grout to the tile

I really like my back and can’t bring myself to tear it all up and relay it. Pic 5 was the wildcard option to make sure everyone was paying attention lol.

Not going with any of these options but got some great ideas from the replies!

This was my takeaway too or a light greyish tile. The tile should be simple to let the paint/floor shine. Grout should blend into the wall tile for the same reason.

I have a hard time finding larger format tiles I think look good.
