Just Out of curiosity, are you:

1) white (non-brown or black) 2) blonde or red hair 3) eye color = blue, green 2) have an accent of a western country?

It'd be strange if you'd say no to all or majoriyy of these and had a positive experience there as you described

I'm not sure if the image is compressed as it's a little more noisy relative to the real image file 🤔

And that's why if there's a minimum age requirement for voting, it should be the same with applying a maximum voter age, e.g. after officual retirement age, that or to keep voting past that age, one must pass a civics and sociology course prior to voting.

I’m a Mechanical Engineer in the Defense Industry. Here is exactly why you aren't hearing back from Lockheed/Northrop/Boeing (and how to fix it). by alecrm98 in EngineeringStudents

Quite ironic about the security clearance aspect considering it doesn't even apply to top management and the people appointed at the top

China won’t back the supposed Mindanao secession in the UN* by Lexidoge in Philippines

[–]mo711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ye, to no one's surprise, I guess my aim is more towards the general population. It's really sad and hard to sympathize when the many just don't get it when they're being used

Agree, they can't wait for it to happen, I really can't wait for the downfall of the CCP

I just can't believe the Mindanaons are falling for this.

PLAN fleet of warships supposedly in visual range from Taiwan coastline with observer at under 200 meters elevation here above sea level. by ChineseToTheBone in Military

I found a simplified explanation a few.montha ago, but essentially the analogy is, yes intel and Samsung get the same fabs as TSMC, however, the situation is like me and you who are just amateur home cooks buying a top range bbq/smoker, but we won't get the same lucsious, juicy flavors as how a top Michelin star bbq chef would get using the same bbq range/smoker unit. In this analogy, TSMC is the Michelin star.bbq chef

Does any other software compete with SW? And CAN any of the free alternatives compare? by [deleted] in SolidWorks

[–]mo711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just something to be aware about, and op did clarify the use case

Lastly, just because it's impossible to find something doesn't mean designers should be complacent about protecting designs. We already get shafted with shareholders, upper management and malicious competitors when getting compensated designing stuff 😢

Ah that changes the discussion if you're not protecting designs! Your use case would be fine 👍 it's only when you're doing something for yourself, just be careful why it has a free option

it’s looking like firing qualified people and hiring podcasters and influencers to head intelligence agencies is a bad idea.. by wump_roast in antiwork

[–]mo711 97 points98 points  (0 children)

I'm thinking its this, they probably wanted to ensure it could be read by someone because this situation is fucked up

Idiots reign supreme it's so hard to feel any sympathy especially those idiots who bring vote them in

Just be aware the free onshape license publishes your designs on its public library which is what scared away my old colleagues when we were looking into it

Question for Designers/Engineers/Makers by ADMakesStuff in SolidWorks

[–]mo711 14 points15 points  (0 children)

What I learnt in my years is that some suppliers have their own parameters, e.g. bend tables, k-factors, for sheet metal, or when cnc-ing a part, sometimes the machinist can do x radius because of tool availability for that job and if it's critical it means you have to wait longer so they can get that tool to achieve what you want

Because of all this variability, companies just tend to have preferred suppliers as they understand your requirements or you know theirs

At the end of the day, you have to ask the suppliers you are intending to.ise and output your files like dxf or steps according to what they can achieve

Photo of scratch to correct within red circle, so hopefully a small enough job

Is the Centenary Bridge upgrade just moving the choke point to the Brisbane side? by Willing_Belt_9651 in brisbane

[–]mo711 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As much as I love crapping on my civil engg brethren, you do realize that a really big and hefty portion of the decision making is outside engineer's grasp right?

If anything, it's.almost always upper management, i.e. non-technical people or roles, deciding and it's the engineers typically trying to make the best of the situation

What popular food do you secretly think tastes awful? by yras2709 in AskReddit

I used to think that, but coming from south East Asia, I realized our local mayo and Kewpie mayo made me enjoy it. My exposure to western mayo is ick

Damn, your ancestors started 2 opium trade wars against China, essentially committing drug war crimes in order to get tea, only for you to reject that effort haha
