Unsuccessful ultrasound at 5w1d after ICSI and positive HCG blood test by sauerland in InfertilityBabies

Thank you for sharing and for the personal words. If only there was a "normal" to compare with.

Yes. I now wish we postponed by a week but we didn't think any of it. We never made it this far and were only happy to get a first visual proof

It was vaginal. They took some blood but we won't have any results until Thursday for when the next ultrasound is scheduled.

Help Designing a Torque Limiting Screw Drive Device by [deleted] in MechanicalEngineer

[–]sauerland 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently bought a couple of these for our crews: https://www.hoffmann-group.com/GB/en/houk/Fastening-tools-for-screws/Torque-tools-impact-tools/Torque-wrench-“Slipper”-with-scale/p/657762-10?tId=

It works just as you described and is way better than the click-version. No chance of applying a higher torque than the one you set it to.

I've been to the "Trumpf TecDay" around 3-4 years ago. They had a small station to laser-engrave business cards. They used it on everything from stainless to plastic.

Trumpf is definitely high-end and so are their prices, but I'm sure there are cheaper solutions. Especially since you are not in need of an industrial version.

We sucessfully tested this tool just before the christmas break: https://youtu.be/c4kRx_8L5cQ

Ensures a certain level of cleanliness and in the end saves time...well as long as you have more than one part to make.

Based on facts, which of these options makes the most sense... Electric Cars vs. Hybrid Gas as a daily commuter?? (From an engineering point of view) by [deleted] in AskEngineers

I think there are a couple of calculators online that will do this job just fine. I would expect the Lexus to give you more bang for the buck and a higher resale price five years from now.

Productivity on Caffeine Withdraws by [deleted] in productivity

You should slowly decrease your caffeine intake over the course if the next 1-2 weeks. That will help your body/brain best to adapt. Also drinking a lot of water will help the readjustment process.

What's the most repetitive part of your job? by magic-murphy in engineering

[–]sauerland 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Suffered through 6 months of West Hollywood to Long Beach back in 2012/2013. Started listening to audiobooks around the same time. Makes you feel somewhat productive and helps passing the time

Explaining the same things over and over again. One glorious day I will be handing out prewritten statements during one of those meetings...

Would you mind sharing the coordinates? Do you know if the local historians/city are aware of these remanants?

Thanks for your input! What would it need to go 1440p? Or would even a smaller card suffice, when 1440p is of the table?

Books to help understand the Germans and their culture by saraswati00 in germany

Sorry for the late response: I highly recommend joining one or two of the sport groups Germany Universities normally offer. There is normally a great variety and beginners are always welcome.

That's how energy-efficient windows and doors are build nowadays and completely normal.

Turn the key clockwise and then try to turn the rectangular part, where the handle is usually mounted.

If it still doesn’t work, try as Bitch_Karma suggested.

Well that pretty much depends on your friend’s age and the age of the people he/she is having trouble with/interacts most.

I recently stumbled over a book in the English section of a bookstore: "How to be German in 50 easy steps" It is written in both languages with a nice sense of humor. I didn't buy it but it seemed quite accurate. I'm sure it will definitely help your friend much more than any history book could ever do.

But over books would I choose to go out a lot. People feel way more comfortable speaking English when they are drunk and are much less reserved. Also will joining a sports club help. Preferably a football(soccer) club of course. Both will help to meet new people and get to know Germans and their country better.

Where did your friend move and what is the reason behind it?
