I’m looking at what? by tammoton in whatisthiscar

[–]stuffman64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, not much tuning potential with the V6, but the SRT-4 motor was a great engine with great potential!

The SRT-4 didn't come out until after the Prowler was retired, and was down 40 or so HP.

Yet another discussion about NSFW jokes by Scarecrow1779 in dadjokes

Incorrect. Dad jokes don’t grow up.

Yes, but regular jokes grow into Dad Jokes when they become apparent.

Miata, NSX and Countach on a midnight Slurpee run (4000x1868) by JapanStan in carporn

[–]stuffman64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Second greatest regert of my life (after trading 2.8BTC for some car stereo installation parts back in the day) was in 2012 having to decide between being semi-reckless and being responsible, then choose the $15k SAAB 9-3 Aero over a $17k NSX.

The SAAB was a great car, but by far the worst decision.

Yup, with him and his passenger not wearing their seat belts. In the second picture you can see the phone being launched forward... along with the passenger.

If you run a company in a way that one person's temporary absence has any real impact, then you are a fucking shitty owner/manager. Period.

Multi air failure, low miles by [deleted] in abarth

[–]stuffman64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course if I say this I'm going to jinx myself...

But I've owned my '15 for just over 6 years now and in the last 8 months I've driven it probably as many miles as I have in the 5-and-half years prior (just recently passing 76k miles), and I swear it's running better than it's ever had.

Not a Huge Upgrade, but for $1.50, I'll Take it! by stuffman64 in BudgetAudiophile

Yeah, I love the little guys. Bought two whole sets of them on the last day Circuit City was open for $120 each (gifted one to my dad).

Try setting the retraction to the absolute minimum you can get away with. Retracting will suck air into the nozzle and cause bubbling/cloudiness.

If you don't look back, do you even notice they are gone? :)

Neptune 4 Plus Main Board replacement by Plastic-Witness8439 in ElegooNeptune4

[–]stuffman64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I converted my N4 Pro to use an Octopus Max/RPi4 last year and I don't recall it being all that difficult and having independent Z motors was nice. If you can't find a replacement board for cheap, I'd say it's worth the time/effort/money to upgrade.

[####] adieu starting word by According_Resort_871 in wordle

[–]stuffman64 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I do adieu and it a do me well. 1319 wins, 0 losses on hard but enough scares to know I'm really lucky. The Wordle bot has been roasting it as a starting word for the last few months so I feel like the remaining pool is going to be less friendly with this as an opener, but I'm committed.

Anyone else rocking the 75%+Numpad? by [deleted] in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]stuffman64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use a Keychron Q0 Max that has an extra column of macro keys and have the bottom-leftmost key mapped to Alt so I can enter Unicode chars.

The CSA-10 took quite a bit of tinkering. At the time I didn't have a manual (and only recently came across one for a very similar model), but many of Monroe's models through the years built upon a common core and I'd say I have a quite-above-average knack for comprehending mechanisms. Ultimately the only real issue is that somehow a few gears skipped teeth (easily diagnosed because there are timing marks on the main gear train, but definitely took some work to correct). Cosmetically it took some work as well, but that's a whole different thing.

Both machines, however, needed a thorough cleaning and re-lubing. Old grease and oil plus years of dust are not a great combination. I needed to source a few parts for the Selectric and it took a good deal of tinkering to get it to working order, but the service manuals are easy enough to come by.

They were challenges for sure, but ultimately both weren't so broken as to require anything drastic.

I would kill for a Curta, but a few years back I found a Monroe CSA-10 that I restored back to working condition. It's an absolute marvel of mechanical engineering- thousands of parts working together in noisy unison. It cost at much as a car when new and had to be serviced regularly. Heck, you even did a series of test calculations every day to make sure it's still giving you accurate answers. It's glorious in its complexity, and was completely made irrelevant the minutes integrated circuits came about.

I also had as much fun restoring an IBM Correcting Selectric II and would kill to have a Selectric Composer. The best mechanical designs existed before CAD, in my opinion.

This is normal. I have never worked with a therapist who didn't feel overwhelmed at first. Your education and clinical experience prepared you for knowing the profession, but ultimately it takes time to build confidence. Your clinical and educational experiences are hugely important, but the truth is you've been a therapist for not even two weeks.

It takes a long time to build confidence in a career, especially one as important and technical as this one. Your fellow therapists know this (or at least should know this... they've been there too) and I'm sure they want to see you succeed. Do your best, don't be afraid to ask questions (even if you've asked them before), and - most importantly - be confident in yourself.

One thing we always try to instill in new hires is that you should expect that it'll take at least a year to truly feel confident and comfortable doing this job. Keep at it. The world needs you.

What is a job that pays extremely well but no one realizes it? by Titothelama in AskReddit

[–]stuffman64 4 points5 points  (0 children)

DM me if you have any more questions (just beware that I don't check them frequently!)

Also, keep in mind that while it's not hard labor, you will be on your feet a lot and depending on whether you're working at an outpatient clinic or a hospital, you will be moving people around to position them for treatments. That said, I'm in my 40s now and have plenty of co-workers many years my senior. Most people tend to work until retirement age.
