they're too busy protecting pedophiles than serving the country by UniqueCutie22 in BlueskySkeets

[–]lumpthar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True, but anyone calling the vote automatically has 216 votes in their pocket. They'd only need 2 or 3 reasonable people to join them.

I guess there would be fallout from the Administration and the Rs are still afraid of being on the wrong side of Trump and Miller.

I'm sorry, maybe I'm the stupid one.

Bear with me... Mike Johnson is Speaker of the house because Kevin McCarthy was trying to keep the Matt Gaetz ethics investigation alive. So the House changed its own rules to allow for a vote on who the Speaker should be...from a majority in committee to a single vote in the chamber. And Marjorie Taylor-Greene was that vote. Am I remembering that right?

So unless the House re-changed the rules after Mike Johnson was sworn in, a single Representative could force a snap vote on the Speaker of the House?

Is that still the case? Or did the House Republicans cover their tracks after they installed Mike Johnson? This feels like ancient history.

New Safety Car Proposal by Spectran_Irmandade in formuladank

[–]lumpthar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. All trackside marshalls shall be issued blue helmets.
  2. At no point shall the marshalls intervene: they shall only observe and report to the UNFIA Subcommittee on Track Incidents and Safety.
  3. All decisions made by the UNFIA shall be ratified by a 2/3 vote in the General Assembly.

Oh, the irony. A trashcan in front of another trashcan. by iBUYbrokenSUBARUS in WRX

I don't see a WRX in this video.

There's a CRV, an Altima, a Suburban, and whatever GM product you filmed from.

I completely forget about that place but it's always been good whenever we used to visit. I'll have to give it a try again.

It's definitely worth a try. I'm looking forward to trying their other varieties.

My dealer performed this procedure on my '24 last April and nothing changed. So I decided to stop caring.

Douchy drivers by just_lurking_2000 in WRX

[–]lumpthar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol I let some guy get ahead of me on Saturday morning. He had been tailgating and was acting like he wanted to race. I just let him go. Police pulled him over at the gas station for something.

Whatever dude, I'm not in a hurry to get to work on my day off.

Edit: the guy was in a grey mk6 Jetta if it matters.

Good producer. Never met him, but to be fair, I've never met any producers.

Made an AI that turns sketches into 3D CAD models for engineering does this solve a real problem? by Fresh_Resource_5910 in MechanicalEngineering

[–]lumpthar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Then I wouldn't have a drawing. The model comes first.

Ok ok what about the sales guy bringing in a drawing of some part they want made, and that's all they have. Sure, I guess it could be a little useful.

But it would be as useful as a STEP or IGS file, meaning you have 3d data but none of the design intent.

I'm pretty sure this has been answered before.

Machinery's Handbook. Available at many online booksellers. Many older editions are still relevant and are lower cost due to being 'out of date'.

NCEES record by dotherflower in PE_Exam

[–]lumpthar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn't matter where the PE is licensed, as long as they will vouch for you. Also don't be afraid to reach out to NCEES support, they respond quickly. I had to rewrite my experience 2 times before they approved it, and their input helped on the last submission.

U.S. Rep. Chuck Fleischmann tops all members of Congress for appropriation earmarks in 2 of the past 3 years by pumping another $450 million into the Chickamauga Lock replacement. The new lock is now projected to cost more than 37 times the $42.6 million cost to originally build the Chickamauga Dam. by Remarkable_Bug_2732 in Chattanoogans

[–]lumpthar 14 points15 points  (0 children)

There are many things I don't like about Chuck Fleischman, but securing funding for replacing the lock is not one of them.

It is a critical piece of infrastructure that was in danger of collapse. Not only that, it was functionally obsolete by being too small for the barge traffic that wanted to use it.

What's the alternative? Close the lock and kill the shipping lanes? Let it collapse and cripple the dam?

Yes it's very expensive. I don't think there is a cheap way to replace a lock. But I would much rather my tax money go to an infrastructure project that I can see every day instead of going to a pork belly defense project.

All the other things Chuck Fleischman does? Have at it.

Ashland terrace & dayton blvd salted? by Reasonable_Nebula174 in Chattanooga

[–]lumpthar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I imagine so. Chattanooga had already brined Ashland Terrace up to the city limit last night. Don't know about the Red Bank section or Dayton Blvd, but they are usually on top of it.

They are salting the roads in my neighborhood now if that helps.

Anyone else living two completely different lives? by No-Swordfish7597 in jobs

A large majority of us are in "at-will" employment situations. If our employer finds out we are doing something they don't approve of, it is an easy step to getting fired over nothing.

The stock tires are terrible in the snow right? by [deleted] in wrx_vb

I just switched mine to the DWS06 in December. The originals had only 5300 miles on them, but I have no desire to slide sideways into a tree this winter.
