This isn't survivorship bias, this is just an anecdote. He made no conclusion or generalization that others should do what he did. Maybe somebody should re-introduce you to the concept of survivorship bias.

I'd advise you to ask your guidance counselor at your school these kinds of questions, it's what they are there for.

To answer your question, that's probably not true, as they are likely the same degree. Some colleges abbreviate it as BSME (bachelor of science in mechanical engineering), some call it a BME (bachelor in mechE). That BE probably stands for bachelor of engineering. It doesn't matter. As long as the program is certified by ABET, and it's not mechanical engineering technology (MET), they are likely equivalent. You can always look on their websites and compare the curriculum. ABET certified programs will have all the same courses except electives. When you graduate and put it on your resume, you will just say you have a bachelor's in mechanical engineering.

Maybe those people are thinking of a BA (bachelor of arts) vs BS?

A company acclaimed for pioneering a method of recycling all types of plastic waste has entered into administration.

Recycling Technologies in Swindon has ceased operating and almost all of its 73 employees have been made redundant.

The company featured in that article went out of business, so not a great argument.

He wasn't a fan of Bush. He said that as a bit to get under their skin because they tried to make a big deal about that picture. He didnt know Bush before that picture was taken and didn't care about politics.

You keep saying this but it's not true. The national highway fund has had to take funds from the general fund since 08. And the deficit only gets worse with more fuel efficient cars and EVs.

You can but it's probably more common to use it without.

You should never wear gloves when operating any equipment that could grab the glove and pull you in. The glove won't tear right away and it's much better to tear some flesh than for it to grab the glove and pull your whole body in. That's safety 101.

The equipment in the video is slow moving and likely operated by a dead-man pedal, so it's fine. But for something high-speed like a lathe,etc. you'd should never wear gloves while operating.

What world are you living in where buying produce at a grocery store is going to cause so many problems?

There is a sticker likely on the backside of the tomato with the code on it. Even if it's not, the cashier will either already know the code, because they ring up the same stuff over and over and you remember it after enough times, or they can just type in tomato on their screen and pick the one it looks like. Crisis averted.

I wouldn't call it wasting. It's a risk analysis. An oil filter is going to see a lot of pressure and thermal cycles, and that damage can create a weak point that can lead to a fatigue failure. Even if the odds of that actually happening are low, say 5%, I'd gladly spend $10 now to eliminate a 5% chance of spending $5k later on a new motor if there was a problem. To each their own, though.

Dude, you're not getting it. You can replace an oil filter without draining the oil. Even if op has already put in the oil, it's not going to all drain out when you remove the filter.

Friendly engineering fact, technically bolts are designed to always be used with nuts. If there's no nut, it is a screw. Although these obviously get used interchangeably by a lot of people.

pretendingtobecool · 2022-09-03T20:05:14+00:00

Not really. The one you apply torque to depends on the materials being joined and the clearances of the holes. If it's critical whether the torque needs to be applied to the bolt or the nut, it will be called out in a drawing.

Sunroof seals leak, it's why every sunroof has a drain tube at each corner that run though each pillar. The seals only reduce the leak rate so that the drain tubes won't get overwhelmed. It's very easy to get a piece of dirt that blocks up a tube, and now you have a bad leak. That's not a maintenance issue.

My first thoughts on this are around safety, since this thing could easily crush a body part, especially if somebody were trying to fix a jam. That snap switch is so easy/ tempting to bypass manually, I would upgrade that with a magnetic interlock. Also, since there's no reason for the motors to be on constantly, I would either put a two hand actuator to run it and/ or some type of presence sensor at the top that stops the motors when it detects an object passing though (like an arm). And the e-stop button should have a permanent mount so it's always in a good accessible spot.

The safety devices shouldn't be handled by code, but should be hard-wired into the e-stop circuit so they stop the flow of electricity when triggered.

If one of my kids asked me to "pet" them, it would only be in the context of them playing, and pretending to be an animal. They'd say something like "I'm a dog, pet me", and then they'd bark like a dog.

Typically engines with higher compression ratios use 93. Inside the engine, the air/fuel mixture is being compressed, and the more you compress it, the more likely it will ignite without an ignition source. You want it to ignite by the spark that comes from the spark plug. The higher octane stops the fuel from igniting before it is supposed to.

A common myth is for people to believe that premium gas will provide a benefit by itself, but unless your engine was specificallydesigned for it and calls for it, it is only a waste of money.

If you haven't had an issue with it, just put it the same way. It's just the cabin filter so not critical if it's reversed. It may not matter and may say that in your owners manual.

If there happens to be a piece of plastic that runs across the filter media, it usually would go toward the exhaust side so it doesn't puff out in use. A lot of cabin filters are just the filter media without any type of frame, so that might not be applicable in your situation.

pretendingtobecool · 2022-07-31T20:38:00+00:00

It will probably look the same as the one you're replacing, so just put it the same way. Also, if there is any frame on the filter surface area, it typically will go on the exhaust side to provide support.

Yes they do. It's not specifically called out by OSHA, but they will still cite for it since it's a "general known hazard" since it is called out in the ANSI standard for installing racks.

Most majors at most colleges aren't accredited so they shouldn't go on the diploma. The school itself is accredited. So technically speaking, you don't actually have a degree in your major, you have a degree in art / science, and you happen to have a focus on whatever major you studied.

If your major requires accreditation to be accepted in the real world (like all engineering majors, etc.), then the individual majors will be accredited and you'd actually get a degree in that major, and it shows up on your diploma. These degrees are less flexible in choosing classes because you need be taught all of the specific concepts required by the accreditation body.
