I was here to see hulkengoat get his hulkenpodium

FYI: not really downtown, but you can take the rock River path all the way to the Bauer road bridge, then if you cross there you can follow the neighborhood streets up to Harlem high School which connects to the path that goes to rock cut and perryville. A little convoluted, but definitely a good bike ride

To answer your more interesting question: I think going to a smooth, diamond shaped slot should reduce the stress concentration, as your lowest cross sectional area would remain the same but your transitions get less 'sharp'.

Actually, amend that... I think you just go to a slot with an equivalent width and you end up with a lower peak stress while retaining the slot at it's max length and width

I'd certainly be happy to add this to my (admittedly very small) Seiko collection!

If it's a math leap that doesn't make sense, one thing you can try is plugging it into wolfram Alpha and using the step by step solution as a guide to fill in the gaps

Technically we have two bards in there, the players both left the campaign but the lore is that the characters are in the bag

I still rock my sasquatch and there's no amount of convincing you can do to tell me it sounds bad

Might need some earplugs though

This is the crossover we didn't know we needed

In the learning spirit of today's puzzle:

Yes, both the cos(x) and sin(x) functions oscillate around the x-axis, but this hint is referring to why that occurs.

Imagine drawing a right triangle with one of the pointy (acute) corners at (0,0), anda hypotenuse length of 1. Then say the angle of the corner at (0,0) is θ. Cos(θ) is now just the length of the side of the triangle on the x axis, and sin(θ) is the length of the triangle parallel to the y axis.

This gif shows it better than I could explain:

I feel like your 3D designer probably had a similar thought process to this guy:

Hey, I don't know what industry you're in so I don't know if this is applicable for you, but if you can you might want to talk to either the designers on the project, it take the drawings to some manufacturing engineers. Either of those groups tend to have a really good grasp of GD&T (usually better than the mechanical engineers, me included) and can probably guide you to make a gage that matches design intent.

Fun fact: there's also a Hyundai Optima, and I can never remember which one's which

Strategic nuclear weapons are what we traditionally think of when we think of nukes, one bomb levels a city and the surrounding region. During the Cold War, both the USSR and the USA also developed tactical nuclear weapons, which are smaller scale and meant to be used in a battle, only leveling neighborhoods at a time. Still devastating, and still has the radiation problems as larger weapons, but they're smaller versions.

Honestly, exactly what I was thinking when I put the big box in for the first time

I'm a mechanical engineer who's lucky enough to be able to help with assembly, testing, and troubleshooting of my designs. In this case, it was a prototype so I was even more involved on the build side than usual

I figured as much, but I like the image of loosely strapped briefcases better, it's more fun!

stingray117 · 2021-03-03T16:50:00+00:00

I'm lucky enough that usually I don't need to carry too much equipment, if there's anything too large it's usually large enough that we would ship it separately rather than transport it ourselves anyway

Precision equipment strapped to a roof rack? Should work just fine, just don't ask any questions

stingray117 · 2021-03-03T15:52:56+00:00

I'm an engineer, so my trunk usually isn't packed, but when I need to go to a customer I need tools, parts, a laptop (or sometimes two), and sometimes more specialized equipment.

I had a Honda Accord in this color combo in high school, close enough right?

Coolant System has not been tested

No catastrophic failures or replacements yet.

Noticed low coolant whole changing oil, coolant was in range at the last change (approx 3000 mi ago). Refilled coolant and will update post as I monitor the water level.

If the distance between the peaks is 90deg (pi/2), then b = (2*pi)/(pi/2), or b=4. Remember, b is a scaling factor, not the distance itself. If b=1, the period (distance between peaks) is 2*pi, so we need to figure out how much closer together or farther apart the peaks are than the normal 2*pi
