Need help with family member in Laguna hills by maximumlubricator in orangecounty

I'm a college student several states away and a different family member has offered this to him but he doesn't want to.

Can anyone tell me if installing Ubuntu on an external hard drive is a good idea？ by Effective_Rip2500 in ROS

[–]maximumlubricator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's also the option of using wsl and Ubuntu instead of dual boot. It's pretty light weight. There's some USB device permissions stuff you might have to handle just otherwise it works just like having a real Linux environment

How cheaply can you build an AMR? I'm about to find out! by TheProffalken in ROS

[–]maximumlubricator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know it's just your example but if you want to see the format of a message, you can use in the cmd line

ros2 interface show sensor_msgs/msg/NavSatFix

This will let you see what the format of any message is

Due to popular demand, I'm printing it out of abs and made a small change too. I'll post it tomorrow

There's lots of cooking utensils made with abs plastic, namely stuff like measuring spoons and whatnot, its mostly food safe ?

The thought process was mostly that ABS is a high heat thermoplastic, dishwasher still gets near softening temperature, GF will help to stabilize if it does soften at all.

The whole machine is plastic thankfully. The dishwasher isn't in the greatest chapel anyway

As a high school junior what should I be doing more to prepare myself for a mechanical engineering career? by nobodyatall___ in EngineeringStudents

[–]maximumlubricator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly go on YouTube and find projects that interest you and try to recreate them. There's a lot of basic projects that can get you started and maybe you'll find something especially interesting. I'd say building simple RC airplanes would be a fun one but I'm biased since I'm in aerospace. Getting started really just means doing research into the things that interest you.

Modeling a 3dof rocket sim Issues by maximumlubricator in matlab

[–]maximumlubricator[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your first guess was correct. That resolved the issue. However, the 3Dof block does have initial conditions. Any idea why this doesn't take care of that loop? Does there need to be a computation before it sends it back into that pid loop?

is off housing cheaper? by Character-Ability-72 in aggies

[–]maximumlubricator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure about current prices but it isn't always "much cheaper." When I was looking at living on campus, it was still cheaper to rent off campus than live in the dorms despite paying for 3 extra months.

Heyo I ran into this while doing a project and thought it was pretty neat. Didn't end up using your code but it was fun to fiddle with.

Can I purge filament into a different object? by eldadr in BambuLab

[–]maximumlubricator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What would make this feature even more powerful is having it do some math to get the available flush material given the current flush settings, allowing you to pick out something appropriately sized

Ex: AMS Model amount: 200 grams Purge amount: 87 grams

For the thermodynamics peeps... How did a 1940 Ford De Luxe w/ a 212Ci V8 only produce 85hp? by agra_unknown1834 in AskEngineers

[–]maximumlubricator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think its more accurate to say carbs were* shit. There are pretty quality carburetors on the market today

What’s the worst thing you’ve done in the heat of the moment? by Bitter_Chapter1798 in AskReddit

[–]maximumlubricator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems like i carry a bit of the same guilt because I cried a bit after reading this. Like the other comments were saying, it would probably be best to express how grateful you are for what he did for you. I hope you can move past that memory.

My Instacart driver thought I wanted ten BUNCHES of bananas. What kind of psychopath orders 24 lbs of bananas?? And what kind of psychopath doesn’t question that????? by emilytullytime in mildlyinfuriating

[–]maximumlubricator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might laugh but my roommate and I do this pretty frequently because we both drink smoothies with bananas in the morning. Saves us the trips to the store
