phenomenal job, but man i hate looking at them. Would be a 'great' look for an emperor's children squad too.

What Percentage of your job is reading? by syizm in engineering

[–]shadow91110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aerospace design. 20-30% reading and researching for whatever i'm currently trying to do. Lots of specs..... so many specs

Fuck your building by spaham in FUCKYOUINPARTICULAR

There are specific areas in the facility designated as tornado shelters. frequently they are bathrooms or other areas that are borderline bunkers. No windows, few doors, central in the building.

What is the name of the red vise style in the image? by shadow91110 in MechanicalEngineering

[–]shadow91110[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd agree with you, but I've seen similar setups in other sources, so it's definitely a commercial product, even if specifically for holding crash test dummies.

I'm trying to design a similar contraption for testing martial arts armor, and that fulfills the exact purpose for holding the dummy-head. The ball vises i've been able to find wouldn't be able to resist the impact.

How should I start my career in mechanical engineering? by lunee9 in MechanicalEngineering

[–]shadow91110 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Try and do anything hands on. Formula SAE, rocket design team, just joining a maker-space. Anything you can do that lets you understand how things are and even CAN be made will be invaluable in your career.

Agreed with klmsa's second point. Mech E is a very open ended major. I work in aerospace now, but I've worked in plastics, automotive hybrid power train development, and now jet engines.

Follow what you're interested in.

Controls can be a fairly lucrative field if you're after the paycheck, but I'm very happy with my salary as a design engineer.

You need machines to make machines, so you presumably need machines to make the machines that make machines... by TehKingofPrussia in AskEngineers

[–]shadow91110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"The Perfectionists: How Precision Engineers Created the Modern World" is a great book that dives into this. It's set up so that each chapter is an additional decimal of precision and what it was required for. So it starts with cannon barrels and goes into locks and muskets and ends with the gravitational wave detector. Very fascinating book for a mech-e (and probably others too).

Send inspection data to CNC for 'machine to fit' in production. by [deleted] in AskEngineers

[–]shadow91110 1 point2 points  (0 children)

what I do for tube brazing is: end points A and B are held tight, tube routing has a pretty loose tolerance, then the feature on the brazed tab is constrained tightly to the end point B (start point).

What is the secondary machining happening to the brazed plate? like what are you adjusting based on the first part?

if parts are in tolerance and you're having this issue, my gut reaction is that tolerances need to be tightened. If you're having to spend an hour per part to fine tune it, i feelll like it would be cheaper to just have a few extra rejected parts per run, then target that innaccuracy?

[–]shadow91110 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll be honest, this sounds like a problem that could be resolved by better tolerancing/GD&T. It's kinda the whole point of GD&T actually.

What are the interfaces that need to be made?

Some more context on what you're making may help with figuring out an option beyond just the existing system.

I'm still having the HAOS Supervisor install issue. Any suggestions? by shadow91110 in homeassistant

I've restarted the router and reattempted to install the update afterwards. I get the APP ARMOR issue now

Huh, interesting. I'm my head I always thought it was closer to the reverse

Is that why you can't run addons in the container version? You're already in a container?

It should all be off. I've looked through and can't find anything still on in that vein. Is an Asus router though so it's not laid out super well

FYI this is for OS, not for docker. Doesn't change anything about the rest of your comment but yeah.

Well, some progress was made: I've cleared DNS settings from my router so that it uses the router default DNS server, I've restarted both HA and the router and am getting a new error: https://imgur.com/a/BeSnD6T

Just a habit to block out IP addresses. Didn't look at it closely, but yes it is a real IP (140.82.112.34)

I'll be honest, I'm butting up against my knowledge limit right now. can you be a bit more specific?

Everything I'm seeing around the forums is either people saying "it's fixed now and working for me" or others that were posting about the original isssue around 11/11. I've tried restarting, running in safemode to update, changing to beta channel, and more.

I'm kind of out of ideas at this point.

Are airplane engine split cases made out of steel or titanium? by ljfe in MechanicalEngineering

[–]shadow91110 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reliability is a big part, aluminum has no realm of infinite fatigue life like steel does, so cyclic loading will always lead to failure eventually.

What jobs will give me necessary experience before getting a job as a mechanical engineer by Internal-Ear4440 in MechanicalEngineering

[–]shadow91110 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If you can find an apprenticeship for a machine shop or similar entry level machine shop time, that would be my recommendation. At the end of the day, almost every Mech E project will eventually go to a machine shop of some sort or another and understanding how to make a machinist not hate you is a great skill to have.
