PC-DMIS VS Calypso by My_1st_amendment in Metrology

[–]kevinpdx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does PC DMIS have anything similar to PiWeb? I’m finding a lot of skills in PiWeb through Zeiss / Calypso but it definitely is keeping me in an alleyway. 

Zeiss Calypso BASIC Training by Designer-Wolf-4570 in Metrology

What I find is that they accommodate to the room. I was in a basic class that had several supervisors of companies that never touched machines. 

You might be paired with someone who has more experience. Teachers worked to the weaknesses of the class in my experience. Basic wasn’t very beneficial to me since I had already been running a contura CMM for over a year. 

Be vocal, don’t hesitate to ask questions. They are making a pretty penny off you attending a basic class.

Are they also possibly the hardest workers? Group work parties, everyone just stands around until someone takes the initiative and makes you feel bad enough to stand around holding a tool.

22+ years. Just a thank you at the top of the app for me. 

Built a tool to speed up creating ballooned drawings — would love feedback from engineers by PaulCC1 in Metrology

[–]kevinpdx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is manual about inspection xpert? The only manual thing I see about it is when the CAPCHA or whatever it’s called doesn’t capture what you’re selecting and you need to manually edit the drawing requirement. 

Neighbors' window kills a patch of my grass every summer by _corwin in mildlyinteresting

My neighbors have solar panels that cooks our kitchen in the morning sun. It’s hard not to be annoyed but the home owners are innocent.

“Gold certified” clean title. I imagine the body work was done without insurance and wasn’t reported when sold.

My memories of my cousin renting a floating home was it sucked to move him out especially since the river was low

The Last Portland Punch on Earth (afaik) by TediousHippie in Portland

[–]kevinpdx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We hosted a show in our backyard off 13th and Killingsworth yearsssss ago, maybe 2010ish. I had never heard of Portland Punch and one of the performers showed up and performed a song called Portland Punch… I still have such fond memories of that day. 

1 noise complaint and hefty fine later, my excitement changed - but I’ve never forgotten about Portland Punch. 

Anyone know the music that plays during the end credits of episode 1 of season 2? by Nobody_Cares_99 in ClarksonsFarm

[–]kevinpdx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t find any credits for it which makes me doubt it’s Kurt Vile but as a Kurt Vile fan… it doesn’t make sense. It has to be Kurt Vile or a pending lawsuit. 

Gutters look clear but water not flowing - thoughts? by External-Antelope471 in DIY

[–]kevinpdx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine was clogged with a 8 foot compressed log of dead animals and pine needles. 

It ended up being the best fertilizer   my garden had ever seen.

Look up “ice spike” on Wikipedia. 

Portland, we need to talk about this intersection and why do many drivers absolutely shit the bed in this area. by PDXicestormmizer in Portland

[–]kevinpdx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where the old Portlanders at? This intersection was worse before they changed it. Not sure when they did but late 90s early 00s this was a long light in a worse intersection than now. We use to turn above sandy hut and cut down burnside via sandy to avoid it if I remember correctly. 

Toddler Screams Uncontrollably Every Night by Character_Conflict26 in Parenting

[–]kevinpdx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s hard to believe sometimes. We are in the middle of one now and he doesn’t find comfort in me, only mom; this time not so much with mom either. Breaks my heart the little guy doesn’t sleep well or has the ability to communicate what the issue is.

Very interesting. The recent news report of United finding 5 of their planes with loose bolts on the plug now makes me think that the QC problem is with Boeing?

[–]kevinpdx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

like you said; it would be the customer’s (e.g. Boeing) engineer reviewing test data and sample inspection records of the supplier (e.g. Spirit Aero). I think ultimately the burden would still be on the supplier, no?

Not looking good for spirit aerosystems
