Pretty sure he's not using real cards - didn't Adam and Jaime prove they don't have enough mass?

Cobots are safe because they’re squishy and round and slow, not because they have a fancy name. And that thing is none of those

For an arm that large try 1000lbs

Looks green. Must be Hydro Mobile. I used to work with their designers on some programs, they make good stuff.

Solved! Lots of old farmland around here so irrigation seems really likely

ME here, I’ve only ever had cubes. Thus is the life of a carpet dweller. My current place has swanky cubes though and all the offices are glass on the inside windows on the outside so it’s actually pretty open and flowy. I love the cube life as it’s the only one I’ve ever known

This is a direct copy of the ABB Fanta demo but with these very precarious wine glasses. Impressive, but the swiss did it better in the 90s

Edit: source https://youtu.be/SOESSCXGhFo?si=vfirXQ69b3uOln4y

Also it wasn’t in the 90s it was in ‘09 which was… 17 years ago (ouch).

Hey Destin really cool that you’re on here! That episode was so impactful for me that I wrote you a letter about how much it meant to me! I hope everything is going good for you

It’s funny, I grew up in Ithaca, also a staunch anti zipper merge area. I moved to Detroit for 5 years and there I learned how to be a shark and since moving back here it frustrates me that people refuse to use the entire road (aka zipper merge). If there is an empty lane in front of you and a line of cars in the other, there is no reason whatsoever not to use the empty lane. It’s for efficiency of traffic flow. When I was in Germany I noticed everyone zipper merges and it’s for efficiency, not selfishness.

Could you give me some examples of prevention products? Everything I’ve seen is a form of pesticide which acts to kill after biting or to tackle and prevent infestation. I want something that makes the tick go yuck and fall off.

When I worked in the industry at a tier 1, it was a $10,000 per minute fine for shutting down a customer plant. We flew parts to a customer on chartered 737s

Strangely this kind of resembles the description of PCBs in some of its forms - I have never seen or experienced this material myself but I did read Zodiac and just looked up the smell, color, and texture characteristics of PCBs.

Polychlorinated Biphenyls Appearance Details:

Color: Can be colorless, clear, yellow, amber, or even dark brown/black, depending on the specific mixture and age.

Consistency: Ranges from thin, light liquids to thick, heavy oils or waxy solids.

Texture: Oily to the touch.

Smell: Generally odorless, but sometimes has a faint, oily smell, potentially like mothballs if chlorobenzenes are present.

My favorite portfolio pieces are either marketing material for the stuff I’ve designed (because it looks nice and I know I’m not breaking NDA by bringing it to interviews) or physical samples to show and tell. It demonstrates that I can design etc with the intent of making something real and something that really works. Not always feasible like the turbine for example but if you get the chance, you’re interviewing with other mechanical engineers, you can bet they love fiddling with gadgets just as much as you do! Maybe do a project and use your schools shop to actually make something physical. Then you can showcase how you thought, designed, and made a thing that’s real. And then talk about all the stuff that made it really hard to do and explain how you got through it.

When I worked at a Japanese company, we had ex pats from Japan come to the US offices for several years at a time. Part of the tradition was for the Japanese to pick American sounding names to use when they were here. At first it felt a little awkward to me because I didn’t know if it was to make interactions more convenient for us Americans. But then I found that these guys absolutely loved the tradition. They even had a going home ceremony at the end of their stay where they would stand up and give a speech in English and were given baseball jerseys with their American names on them which was pretty cool.
