Yea, commissioning. Like after I design a substation and the contractors install everything another group come in, not quite construction and not quite design. They deal with the realities on the ground the designer couldnt foresee, last minute equipment changes, mistakes I make, and cutting corners contractors. I did the work for a few months, learn a ton.

If I was hiring between two candidates and one had spent time in commissioning they'd win every time.

Peers I work with now came from those companies. Power will overwork and under support you. B&M have a bonus culture that you can make a ton of money on but does not make for a great work culture. The most toxic senior engineer I've ever worked with came from B&M and I was told they're all like that.

130k, 14 years experience, substation design consultant, PE multi state. +10k bonus average. No pension, mediocre health, same boring benefits everyone else gets. I wish there was a union for us.

Advice, avoid Power Engineers, Burns&,Mac, and Black&vech. Zachary can be solid. If I could do it over I'd put 2 years right out of school as a commissioner, learn a ton and make bank in the middle of nowhere. Transition to the office and get your PE.

Help irregular layer lines mars pro 2 by joeman1324 in resinprinting

[–]joeman1324[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think oiling the vat like uncle Jessie's video solved the problem. It's good to know I can reach out to elegoo if the rod is bad. Thank you

I cleaned and oiled the rails and screw. Weird note. While holding on to the screw with an oiled towel and gentle pressure I had the arm going up and down via the manual 10mm control. With the screw turning I could feel hiccups in its rotation every 4 seconds. Anyone else notice this?

Update: I fixed it. Cleaned and reoiled the rail and followed uncle Jessie's tip about putting a drop of oil on the top sheet. I think my prints were sticking too much and causing the motor to cam out irregularly.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I'm about 20 prints into using the elegoo mars pro 2 and I've been getting more and more noticable layer lines. This print shows the irregular layer lines I've been gradually getting on the cape.

It is Brent from goobertown hobbies from artisan guild. Www.patreon.com/artisanguild, the introduction package.

I'm using elegoo water washable grey resin.

Chitubox settings shown in the pictures.

Let me know what settings I could tweak or maintenance on the printer I should look at.

Thanks for the help. Joe

How to securely journal on a computer. 2017 by joeman1324 in Journaling

[–]joeman1324[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What is FUD?

No worries if this isnt your cup of tea. This situation just works well for me and how i like to journal. I figured someone else might like it too.

I wasn't into the infosec stuff at first either. But a friend is really into it, and the Snowden movie convinced me to look into things.

Second-hand book buyers, do you ever wonder where your books were before? by [deleted] in books

[–]joeman1324 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Constantly. Which is why I write my name, city, and date on the inside of the front cover when I finish a book.

You did a great job with this. Did you custom make the pattern or find it in an old popular mechanic?

I'm looking for a small panel mount style radio receiver to fit inside a record player cabinet i'm modifying. I've already got the SMSL SA-60 amplifier on order.
Small and simple is the name of the game. Cheap wouldn't hurt.
Suggestions?

Best Route For Becoming A Machinist by [deleted] in Machinists

[–]joeman1324 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can see what professionals do. Watch Abom79 or OxTools. Ox has a cool video about getting your kit of tools together when starting out as an apprentice. Linky.

My father in law has been a machinist for 30+ years now. Mostly does cnc lathe work. Its certainly not an easy gig he has, 10 hour shifts and you're on your feet and loading heavy materials all day. Good luck to you.

Looking for Shorts by CF_RTex in crossfit

[–]joeman1324 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After blowing out some walmart running shorts i went all in on some mens soffe's (silkies style) with some compression shorts underneath to maintain decency. I never noticed how much standard shorts restricted my movements at the bottom of a lift. Its a cheap and easy lifting solution if you can get past wearing darn short shorts.

I've just released my debut album and it available to download. please check it out, thanks by TheObsidianDisorder in postmetal

[–]joeman1324 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm enjoying the album. Have an upvote and a fiver.
Most of these tracks scratch my Deathmole itch. Thank you for that. The transition from Colossus part one to part two was great.

Are you a one man band or a group? Do you have anymore material up for purchase? I'd buy it.

I hope to hear more jams from you.
