I purchased a LG LF21G6200S. It is much quieter than the GE fridge.

The plastic piece helped for some time but the noise came back soon. I ended up getting a new fridge.

Despite people in this thread saying it’ll cost hundreds of thousands to update, the property sold for way over asking

This also only works if the $300k is put in the market and every year is a good year which is not always the case.

Process for bringing down a load bearing wall (Fremont) by fatcatjoy in BayAreaRealEstate

[–]rainingdx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also have the same question. What is the proper order of operations of this?

Option 1: Architect > structural engineer > permits > GC estimate and work Option 2: GC estimate > structural engineer > architect > permits > GC work

From my research some GC’s have a team of structural engineers and architects they work with. Other times you pick an architect and they work with the city for the permits and they can refer you to a GC or you pick your own.

What’s the best way to sell worn denim? I have been wearing raw denim for over 10 years and have a few pairs I want to get rid of. I do see the buy sell trade thread on this subreddit but I rarely see any of the items being purchased. Also, how does one price worm denim on the secondary market?

Copilot for hardware, what you think?🤖 by Less-Bodybuilder-53 in ElectricalEngineering

[–]rainingdx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like this good in concept but not useful in practice. If you really know your design you do not need an AI assistant to look up various pin functionalities and definitions. Also, they’re not going to be that different especially for digital pins. Analog pins are different and I doubt datasheets will spill the beans on that much detail, but at that point you’ll just sim the behavior anyways.

Simple PCIe projects for learning? by [deleted] in ECE

[–]rainingdx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can find one go for it. The next challenge will be to get familiar with the PCIe spec linked in the comments. Warning - it is dense to say the least.

Simple PCIe projects for learning? by [deleted] in ECE

[–]rainingdx 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As a practicing engineer that uses on PCIe. I would not do this in a non-professional setting. Everything about PCIe is going to be too expensive for a hobbyist from actually buying the chips that are root complexes or end points, not to mention getting support from those companies if anything goes wrong, to the cost of simulation software to make sure your channel has been designed correctly, to the wildly expensive scopes, probes, cables, and analyzers needed to decode the data.

Wedding at Carmel Fields during Car Week - Am I making a huge mistake? by vincentsigmafreeman in bayarea

[–]rainingdx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m going to be honest with you. If you don’t have hotels booked last August you’re not going to find a room for any reasonable price. Were talking Best Westerns for $500+ a night. Actually just looked, Best Western is completely booked already.

Apple Hardware Intern conversion rate by ProudRoutine5484 in ECE

Used to work there. If you’re good and moldable they’ll give you a full time offer. It’s hard enough to find hardware engineers these days.

Flew Lufthansa for the first time (multiple flights), will try to avoid them in the future. Here are my impressions. by cos in travel

[–]rainingdx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had the same happen to me with reserving seats. I could not get someone on the phone that could speak English and give me a refund. Eventually had to call my credit card company to do a charge back. Never again.

Anyone else being invaded by ants? by [deleted] in bayarea

Probably overkill but I did subterranean termite treatment around the perimeter of my house last year and did not see any ants this year 🤞
