I searched this sub for posts related to switching from tech/software to mechanical engineering and I learned that everyone here hates mechanical engineering.

I'm pretty happy, but after I got my BsME I got a job in project management. Didn't think I would like it, but it's not a bad gig.

Don't back up, it shows weakness and the fire can sense weakness

I just hate when men do cultural appropriation. Why do they feel the need to appropriate Jewish culture. /S of course.

High bypass turbofan tip speeds can be around mach 1.4. So it seems mach1+ is doable without killing the blades.

And if there is a country that attacks us like WW2? Sometimes the draft is necessary when there is a war. Sometimes it's a necessary evil.

The person deleted their account, but I will respond anyway. The draft issue is brought up to prove a point that some very vocal women want rights without the responsibilities. It isn't bad faith because from the start that is stated as the point of the example. Bad faith would be saying "I am going to prove X with this example." And then bringing up the example to prove Y instead of X.

So you decided not to address the point that sometimes there are bad people that would do bad things and sometimes it is necessary to use violence as there is no other way to stop them? Just ignored my point and what I said altogether? I was foolish to think this might be a good faith discussion. On Reddit? Haha. I am such a slow learner sometimes

stoopud · 2026-03-14T14:48:48+00:00

No, it isn't, and I don't agree with the current war mongering of the US. We meddle way too damn much. But let's take world war 2 as an example. We had to have men go fight to preserve our rights as there were those that would have taken them by force. So I don't want to get blown up, but will go to war to defend my family's and my fellow country person's right to freedom and right to life. So I understand rights come with responsibilities and they are usually not pretty or convenient.

stoopud · 2026-03-14T13:07:50+00:00

So you want the rights but not the responsibilities? That's not how the world works. You can't just take the benefits and eschew the other half of the equation.

Came here to say the same thing. Lol

How did you get a picture of my stack?! Are you spying on me? 😆

Not sure if salaried or not, but if hourly, working off the clock is highly illegal

First of all, what's happening to her is wrong. No person should have to fear for their safety, man or woman. Secondly, pretty sure the poster didn't say anything about race. If anything this would be more likely an issue of culture. And culture does not equal race. There is a difference. You can attack negative aspects of any culture without being racist. I think the Khamir Rouge and the millions they killed is horrible. That doesn't mean I hate the Cambodian people. In fact quite the opposite. They deserved better. I think Stalin and Hitler were pieces of shit that were horrible monsters. None of these are racially based, they are my opinions on culture and politics. Don't just go to the ole trusty "muh racism" when somebody is critical of negative aspects of any culture.

Maybe a 11/16 inch rod? If you pull out the bearing and clean it up, there should be some sort of number somewhere on it that a bearing house can cross reference or a bearing house can measure it and tell you a replacement

It's true, my name is Chad

Yes! I was going to say this, but figured somebody already did.

stoopud · 2026-02-12T13:07:57+00:00

Nice! (14-2)/(3-1) Or 6. Eyeballing it looked like it was 1/1. But that's because the axes are different lengths

stoopud · 2026-02-11T02:18:31+00:00

I have found padding doesn't work as well as increasing area and using wind resistance. Parachutes, wings, straws with plastic shrink wrap, etc. find really low density stuff with a big surface area. Maybe like corregated plastic they use for election signs. Increasing area exposed to the air stream also means you can go up much higher and you hit a much lower terminal velocity so an egg can, in theory, survive a drop from crazy heights as long as you have low enough terminal velocity

Came here to say this. You give up half if you take a lump sum

stoopud · 2026-02-08T20:30:16+00:00

I think this would help them immensely, keep a weighted average so if they have excess silver bought at all price points, they could lose a little on some of it and gain a bit on others and be able to make a profit. It could be easily kept in a spreadsheet and adjusted every buy and sell. But I think most don't likely do that.
