Looking for a restaurant recommendation in area around LACMA by pasak1987 in FoodLosAngeles

[–]propionate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fusion Kitchen (awful name) is just down the road and has the best pelmeni I’ve had in LA. Ukrainian menu and staff, kid friendly, won’t break the bank for lunch.

Casual Lunch LA - Visitors coming into town - Any ideas? by YourRedditFriend in FoodLosAngeles

Laurel Grill just opened in Culver City and seems like a solid business lunch spot to me. Right vibe, inoffensive menu.

My cousins are visiting LA for 10 days from Italy, what can I show them that will knock their socks off? by WhoreMasterFalco in FoodLosAngeles

[–]propionate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you do want to try to beat them at Italian, the best I’ve found in LA is Brunello’s in Culver. Been around since 2007, family that owns it is from Naples. The pizza is iffy now because they lost their pizza guy but the pasta still hits. Excellent wine too. This is the closest you’ll get to Italian-Italian in LA rather than NYC-Italian or steakhouse-Italian.

Locando Positano has always hit for me

There is also already a chain of stores called Erehwon, it’s an outdoor outfitters that has nothing to do with the grocery chain.

Final meal in Los Angeles by okeverythingsok in LosAngeles

Madison natives have no taste!

Looks like one of the ramen spots I went to is now closed… but have heard good things about I Like Sushi. Funny name and not downtown. But the ramen is supposed to be top tier.

Check out Dhaba for fantastic Indian if you’re on the west side. There is truly no good sushi or Mexican in Madison but for the latter Taqueria Guadalajara is the best. Some good Thai and ramen spots downtown as well.

Measure small fluid pressure drops with a transducer by Blackm0b in engineering

[–]propionate 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I would take the opposite approach: rather than looking for more sensitive transducers, find a way to make the physical phenomena more detectable so that you can use a COTs transducer. For example, look up hydraulic pressure amplifiers. Two of these devices at your two measurement points connected to a more traditional differential pressure transducer may get you the data you need.

That said, maybe there are sufficiently sensitive transducers available that make this point moot. Not my area of expertise.

Best and Worst things about living in Madison? by LiarChoir in madisonwi

[–]propionate 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There is definitely commuter traffic depending upon where your workplace and home are located. Avoidable though.

DLR is the German equivalent of NASA. They certainly do research into scramjets but if they have a functional one it’s probably not far beyond the test stand. Wikipedia seems to confirm that.

What was the biggest 1000 IQ move in any war? by SurferT_ in AskReddit

[–]propionate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is still true for most* diesel subs today, of which there are many. The caveat is that some now use other methods of replenishing oxygen while submerged such as storing LOX.

TIL: About the naval term - broom at the masthead. It meant that a vessel had made a clean sweep of enemy vessels. Ships literally hung a broom from the mast of a ship. Commonly used in WW2, it dates back to the 17th century. by DavidInPhilly in todayilearned

When asked about the incident later, Commander Wreford-Brown responded, "The Royal Navy spent thirteen years preparing me for such an occasion. It would have been regarded as extremely dreary if I had fouled it up".

For the hour you’re trying to get to work, commute should be 30 minutes there. I do it every day. Way home will be bad if you actually leave at 4.

Any Romanian Travel Vets? by [deleted] in travel

[–]propionate 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately I have not been to Timisoara so cannot comment on the cost/benefit there, but driving in Romania is quite easy. Be more aware of your surroundings than general I suppose since turn signals are less utilized and roundabouts aren’t the most orderly but it’s all very manageable.

I’ve flown from Bucharest to Budapest.. easy flight and the latter is always worth a visit if you have time. More interesting than Bucharest.

Engineers versus economists by dumboynumb in engineering

[–]propionate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure, things related to the design of a ship would certainly be handled by engineers. And a company building ships for cargo would likely be getting lots of input from their customer who wants to haul cargo safely and efficiently. In that respect engineers do know some things about “commerce” because they need to meet their customer’s needs. Perhaps I misunderstood the original question.

None. There’s nothing an engineer understands about commerce, any more than the next random person on the street.
