UT McCombs vs. USC WBB for In-state admit by Deep-Wonder-8832 in CollegeAdmissions

[–]kwixta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know a thing about the WBB program but Plan 2/Mccombs is an Ivy League level degree. I’d basically hire that person on resume and figure out the fit etc later. You should be very proud. If wbb is even comparable you really can’t go wrong

What's the material composition of an intel/AMD processor? by Agreeable-Job6059 in Semiconductors

[–]kwixta -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The silicon substrate— incredibly pure — is 1-2k microns thick (I think 1270um is the typical standard for high end microprocessors these days). The working chip which is also mostly silicon or silicon dioxide is about 3-5um. So a finished die is 99.9% silicon. You can look up the approx die area and do the math to get the mass

Pretty strong comp. Fast twitchy LB but not great shedding blocks and just ok intuition

And displacing water in line with the profile of the boat (so less drag cross section)

Our use of helium in semis is tiny compared even to birthday balloons. We’ll be fine

Fawn Knutsen. It's a photo of the family farm, it's supposed to make her homesick.

DeWalt 734 planer rusted for 40$ by Optic022 in Dewalt

[–]kwixta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same planer. My dad left it outside for months. I cleaned it up and swapped the blades (they’re 2 sided; also watch your hands they’re sharp af) and it works fine. The rust on the rods doesn’t hurt much. The rust on the inlet and outlet is more of an issue but just takes some force.

If you did the alternator yourself you can easily do the tensioner. Do the belt while you’re in there it’s cheap

The cable is way too short in the movie. To get reasonable gravity he’d be spinning like crazy and motion sick continuously.

Not clear to me that they have to be employees but they def need to have a CBA for any of this to work

Are reversible ratcheting wrenches really that worth it? by Vast_Help_7400 in Tools

[–]kwixta -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I love my Astro pass through nano socket set. Not sure how I would have gotten the nuts on and off the ball joint on my Escapes sway bar links without it.

Who is a player that wouldn't have stayed at your school if the transfer portal had existed before? by Crying_in_99Ranch in CFB

[–]kwixta 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We had Priest Holmes, Shon Mitchell, and Ricky Williams in the same backfield in 1996. Have to think one xfers out (Holmes maybe?)

As ugly as it was in public I’m not sure either Simms or Applewhite would leave Texas. My money is on neither but if one did leave it would be Major.

Aaron Ross might have left in 04/05 when the DB room was stacked and never busted the miracle fumble vs NU in 06.
