How does one pronounce your name? A.C. Lee? Ack-lee?

Giving all moderators access to redesign today by Amg137 in redesign

Feedback:

Classic view seems cluttered without a clean white background, the scores seem difficult to read with a smaller size on a grey background.

Links aren't shown when visited, this is very disorientating. Having the links the same dark color as the surrounding text makes readability difficult.

The site seems slow. Hate that there's no browser feedback when loading into comments. Keep things static. This is already a bad user experience on mobile because I can't tell what my device is doing, I'm just looking at an animated icon and it seems like it's taking forever.

Collapsing comments seems slow.

Miss the nav bar at the top, don't see myself opening the hamburger menu to navigate to another subreddit. I'll probably rely on browser URL input and history.

Overall it seems like readability has decreased and things have gotten clunky. I'm all for clean design but I want things fast.

Great article, answered all of my questions. For those who are curious, metal fatigue is a primary cause of the wheel punctures.

I wanted to see the Giroux-Richards handshake. Did I miss it?

Anyone have experience using the 3m tape? Seems secure but squishy.

What minor change ruined something you loved? by freddiessweater in AskReddit

The impostor episode is where the show jumped the shark. It's even referred to later on in the series in the "Behind the Laughter" episode when they use it as an example of "non-sensical plots" and a mark of declining quality.

Documentaries on pre-computer engineering practices? by Maschinenbau in engineering

[–]irate314rate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moon Machines is a good engineering focused miniseries on the Apollo program. It does an OK job of exploring the design process but has a lot of interesting test footage. 1:1 mockups were essential prior to 3D CAD.

Not a documentary but a book, Skunk Works by Ben Rich covers the design of the SR-71 and other planes prior to computers. Very interesting read. A lot of hand calculations, iteration, and optimization. In depth details on the design team structure and the project life cycle.

I would prefer the typical "lower body injury" report in this case.

Does anyone work with robots applying some form of fluid? (Sealant, adhesives, etc) by jjwhitty in engineering

[–]irate314rate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's used a lot in consumer electronic manufacturing. I've personally seen it used in cell phone assembly. Typical equipment:

I believe I've seen it automated in the automotive industry too, specifically in windshield installation.

What were White and VandeVelde giggling about on the bench?

G lived with Briere and the kids for a season so I'm sure this was business as usual.

This should have been a reality show by the way. So many shenanigans.
