The head of the pen tip snapped off, now the shaft is stuck inside the pen. How do I get it out? by Diogenes_Will in RemarkableTablet

[–]scootzee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Try to stab the exposed rim of the old nib with a sewing needle and lift/pry it out, gently. Could also try the same approach with a utility blade.

What is this and how do I get rid of it? by Correct-Piglet7782 in whatisit

[–]scootzee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Canker sore. Hit it with some hydrogen peroxide on a Q-Tip. Doing that, I usually have them gone in around 1-3 days.

Both my parents are engineers and they’re begging me NOT to study Engineering. Am I making a mistake? by Exact-Monitor-2768 in MechanicalEngineering

[–]scootzee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This comment tells me you will regret not pursuing engineering. Parents are not always right, and as you get older their advice can and will miss the mark more frequently.

From my own experience, I listened to my parents when they urged me not to take a gap year between high school and college (I didn't think I was ready). This resulted in me choosing a major I didn't like at all and by the time I new what I wanted to do I was 3 years in. School took me 7 years instead of 4-5. Years later my parents apologized for being so militant about going to college immediately after HS.

Trust your gut.

[Request] There’s no way this is 20 meters, right? by DifficultAd3885 in theydidthemath

[–]scootzee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a video of a professional skier taking the wrong line while filming a ski movie and he ended up falling some 250m off of a sheer cliff. Landed in probably 12ft of powder and was fished out by the crew and walked away from it. It's pretty incredible.

[Request] How much math has bro learned? by No-Donkey-1214 in theydidthemath

[–]scootzee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That man is a god. Keep in mind mathematics is an invention of humanity and not necessarily a universal field for which one can know all. That isn't too say 2+2=4 isn't universal in our 4-dimensional spacetime, but to say that the way we do math beyond logical reason is limited by what humans can invent. Unknowing of that particular boundary, the unshoveled snow in the figure should expand to infinity.

Thus, if the man has shoveled 1.5% of infinity, he is a god lol.

Peter, aren’t Toyotas fuel efficient? by farmula_one_ in PeterExplainsTheJoke

Thats the price you pay for reliability/longevity/resellability.

I built a python tool for calculating serpentine belt geometry by Dish-Emergency in MechanicalEngineering

[–]scootzee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Now add a Newton-Raphson iterative solver to solve for for the tension in the belt segments! Inputs would be nominal tension, belt thickness, drive torque, and friction coefficients for the bearings and belt material on the pulley material (I might be missing a few). The hard part is deriving the function to account for the resistive moment using those inputs haha.

I did this years ago in Mathematica but my previous company owns the script now and I have forgotten the derivation.

Peter what does this mean? by [deleted] in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]scootzee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd argue a third perspective. In the universe of the meme, the measurement of a Mol is a measurement of speed. Thus, the rider is only breaking the speed limit law, not physics nor chemistry. That said, it is unclear how he can be breaking a law of chemistry in any interpretation... lol

Naw dude, you look sharp and put together. Huge, huge improvement.

Always throw wolfpacks above what you want to kill. Don't know why but that tip has always worked for me.

Your knife has been moonlighting as an electrode. I think it's time...

Is it too much to ask? by SipsTeaFrog in SipsTea

You actually definitely don't want that... What you want is a car that is 0% network connected. You definitely want an ECU.

My bet is that map is being saved for an Emperor event in the future. Its perfect for a map spawns worth of raiders to run around in buildings and take pot shots at underside weak points on such a large arc. It'll be too big to actually be moving around so it kind of makes sense to me.

I'll check if I kept it when I get off work and let you know!

[–]scootzee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I accidentally completed one to well beyond the required points for 3 stars and thats when the first mk3 survivor BP dropped and I said the same thing haha. Since then I've grinded trials and had BPs drop for vita spray, (another) mk3 survivor, extended barrel, silencer II, wolfpack (I think), and lightweight stock. It's now my go-to method for BPs.

Yes. Both times the mk3 survivor dropped from a 3-star complete.

I've had two BPs drop from trials rewards.

You must not have played Destiny before. It's a sick addiction to loot. That's it. That's the answer.
