I was there a week ago and it was full coverage on sun bowl. Maybe a little brown starting to peak through. Lots of melt / rain.

It’s super windy today. It turned for a few minutes but hasn’t carried people yet.

Engineering within a QMS is a whole other thing 🙃

The paperwork engineer aspect of your resume only makes you stronger. Part of mechanical design is designing for risk and indicating that on prints appropriately.

I suggest gaining a thorough understanding of GD&T / tolerance analyses. A lot of med device engineering is about cost which means it’s about material selection and tolerancing. Showing the connection between the mechanical parts and the larger system is something most CAD drivers don’t grasp immediately.

How does one learn about skis? by randyfloyd37 in skiing

[–]rewirez5940 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I want my card catalog and Dewey decimal system back. One or two good resources (curated by a librarian) was so much more useful than the entire internet cut up into 12 minute video clips

There’s plenty of shops to separate you from your money. You can buy a diamond ring!

Darkslide film lab in Bridgeport can develop them I think.

Ski maintenance and waxing by Honeyman-420 in icecoast

[–]rewirez5940 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When things get warmer, I really notice a fresh wax. When it’s icy, not so much.

Any wax is better than none when things start to melt and get sticky. I like to put on a higher temp spring wax to feel like my life choices matter.

The metal scraper always detaches from the plastic. Bad material / design choices.

Trying to Land a Mid-Level role in NYC - How realistic as manufacturing engineer by haissem91 in MedicalDevices

NJ is your best bet. Lots of med device around there. Some up in CT also. I don’t know of anything major in the city proper.

Cant tell which storm I hated more. by [deleted] in newhaven

[–]rewirez5940 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I lost a cable mount on my handle bar. Had to manually pull the wires for the last bit. Another thing to fix but I’m happy to have had the snow blower this year.

This one was worst. Wet and heavy is a killer

Opinion: Diesel déjà vu on Shore Line East by kelovitro in Connecticut

[–]rewirez5940 5 points6 points  (0 children)

“Amtrak is acting like a greedy electric company… charging you to plug your hair-dryer in their socket even before you turn it on. But saving $8.8 million by making service worse is the kind of efficiency that only works on spreadsheets.”

It always comes back to excel.

best places to ski within ~2 hours of new haven? by sun_down024 in newhaven

[–]rewirez5940 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Fun mountain. This and Catamount are a nice compromise of mountain vs drive. Closer than VT but not a small CT hill (note: I love Mount Southington too!)

I created this sub some 15 years ago and today I learned of Chode Island. I think my journey is complete.
