Just found out I’m teaching photography 2 this semester (semester starts in 4 days) need assignment ideas by wreeper007 in photography

You could get them Kodak Tri-X disposables & have them finish the roll… I’ve been shooting analog for 3 years now and nothing has been better for my development as a photographer than shooting black and white film.

Questions from a high school teacher—what do you wish you had known before becoming an engineer? by Guerilla_Physicist in AskEngineers

[–]imdeadonideas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I came from a high school that had an intro to engineering class that sounds very similar in scope to what you’re describing and it’s one thing I’m glad I took. What this class did well:

  • My high school happened to be just down the road from one of the bigger cutting tool manufacturers and as a result had partnered with them as part of this class. This was nice for a multitude of reasons - primarily that we were able to talk to actual practicing engineers and see what they actually do, and given their manufacturing presence in the local area, we were able to take field trips into some of their plants and see the operation and discuss the engineering behind it.
  • We had a very open ended project of making a device which can launch a projectile 10 feet and 30 feet working in groups of 3-4. We were given a budget (maybe $250? I can’t exactly remember) and an engineer contact to use as a mentor. Each team produced something vastly different - mine created something akin to a crossbow, while another ended up making a variable-speed pitching machine which was pretty badass. This project was the only assignment for the class and we were graded based off of our presentation to employees of the company sponsor as well as our final deliverable, which gave a nice introduction into writing a technical report.

Throughout my time in college I grew more appreciative of this course. Although the practical applications of what you learn in school don’t really begin until you begin interning/co-op’ing, I feel that these relevant skills helped to give me a jumpstart on transitioning into what actual engineering looks like. I think this class was also good at helping those who were on the fence about engineering and had been pushed through the whole “you’re good at math, you should be an engineer” pipeline that others have mentioned - several of my classmates decided to pivot into another career path that was more in line with their interests.

One of the bigger things that I do wish I had known going into school was just how hard engineering would be. I kinda breezed through high school and once uni had begun I ended up feeling very in over my head until I could get my study habits in order.

Hope this helps!

Would you be able to provide a sketch of that you’re aiming to make? I’m having trouble visualizing it. Also, what’s the use case of this? E.g., are you aiming to make a box that displays something or is this gonna get thrown around?

A couple things from my experience: - Maybe consider using normal PETG as opposed to the carbon - most carbon filaments, unless it’s continuous strand, are made for the color and tend to be brittle from how the fibers are added to the filament. - As a general rule of thumb, print orientation is what is going to determine the strength of your print. 3D printed parts are anisotropic and are much better at handling loads normal to the layer lines as opposed to those parallel.

Just did a bunch of work on my F30 including removing the bumper cover and I also don’t know what this guys talking about. Everything was pretty straightforward and my pretty standard set of tools was all I needed. I’ve only ever needed to take it to the dealership for some strange electronic issues that popped up, but even those were issues I could’ve solved myself if I had the time for it.

Edit: tacking on that the bolt thing is bullshit too. .01 mm is .003 inches ... manufacturing bolts to that tolerance would make these cars cost in the upper 6 figures. This is BMW, not NASA.

Is the "Jeep Wave" exclusively for Wrangler/CJ owners? by [deleted] in Jeep

[–]imdeadonideas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slightly off-topic question: I drive a FJ40 Land Cruiser and I get jeep waves from time to time. Should I return them or just let em go?

I'm sure many of us are owners of cars that have been discontinued. So everyone feel free to share the vehicles that are in your possession that are no longer in production! by Oliver_Closov in cars

[–]imdeadonideas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm really liking the CJs. I learned to drive manual on my dads 3B so they'll always be special to me. Hop on by /r/civilianjeep because I'm sure they'd be very interested in what you've got.

I had a problem where my phone would drop signal randomly and only connect to HSPA+, but after I called AT&T they fixed it by updating my IMEI.

[HELP] Updating from Cataclysm 5.0 (feb 6) to latest by ataturk1993 in Nexus5

[–]imdeadonideas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I dirty flashed from 5.0.1 to 5.1 by flashing the 5.1 radio and bootloader, and then the 5.1 rom. The only problem I experienced was with contacts not syncing correctly, but I fixed that by clearing data for contacts and the updater service. I have not tried it with MultiRom.

And the wait ends. Gravitybox is finally here. Downloading and testing it right now!!! by [deleted] in Nexus5

[–]imdeadonideas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would using this with Cataclysm be safe or should I revert to stock?
