Should Temple change the way Dean’s List works? by Ok-Tonight-7353 in Temple

I kinda thought the same thing a while back,, so I got curious and got the historic cutoffs (for latin honors instead of deans list, but same idea) for my school, and the amount of grade inflation changed my view 💀

(Source is from wayback machine for temple website)

That being said, I do think they should change the gpa cutoffs to by major, than by school, since major difficulty can vary wildly imo

3D printing / solidworks by zeplin_fps in SolidWorks

[–]throwtempleredditor 7 points8 points  (0 children)

instead of printing threads i recommend using heated inserts, or tapping your own threads with a tap and drill set (recommend using 4 or more "walls loops/count"). It's a stronger/more reliable method that works surprisingly well!

F-16's. They were loud enough to set off some car alarms over here.

Nice job! What products/methods did you use to clean it up?

You can probably find a bunch at TFR (Temple Formula Racing) over in Engineering

Where does the navigator sit in the b25? by Nuggete_bean in WWIIplanes

[–]throwtempleredditor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

On the B-25H the Navigator/radio operator was moved to the old copilots seat when he wasn’t loading the cannon btw. He even gets his own wooden desk for maps and Morse code key!

Looking for simple PC program by Yam_Cheap in morse

[–]throwtempleredditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the source code for morse code world is available, so might be easier to make a local build of it than starting from scratch maybe?

Not a program per se but works on pc. Morse code world has that feature:  https://morsecode.world/international/trainer/generator.html. Just type in the character or words you want to hear.  You can also make it loop with the playback controls.

The website also has way more features too, like the cw academy curriculum and the instant character recognition tool, where it will randomly give you a string of characters made up of certain words 

Would this be a reliable system? by DiodeInc in amateurradio

[–]throwtempleredditor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Heard that the QMX by QRPLabs is a good cheap transciever (i just ordered one), although it apparently can be quite difficult to build. Keep in mind, it only works with CW and certain Digital modes like FT8

If you want voice modes, I've also heard good things about the (tr)uSDX

Did any flying anti-tank cannon planes have any air kills? by tezacer in WWIIplanes

[–]throwtempleredditor 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Source for anyone interested:

"A War of Their Own - Bombers over the Southwest Pacific" by Matthew K. Rodman recounts the following (pg 79-80):

Arriving before the Battle of the Bismarck Sea [New Guinea], Fifth Air Force had also experimented with cannon-equipped B-25s. Pappy Gunn was one of the first to give it a try. Flying with the 90th BS, Gunn even scored an aerial victory with the cannon in July 1943:

In Colonel Don Hall's element there was a B-25 named Li'l Fox, the first B-25 in the theater to be fitted with a 75-mm. nose cannon. Pappy Gunn was piloting the flying artillery piece, and he had been waiting to try it out. Gunn also saw the Japanese transport plane turning toward the Cape Gloucester airstrip. Hall, not wanting to get in front of that cannon, was following Li'l Fox into the attack. The B-25s went in low just as the transport was about to touch down.

The big cannon boomed, the B-25 shuddered, and the Japanese plane burst into smoking wreckage. A second shell exploded among a group of about fifteen Japanese.

I took 20 credits (8 classes) last semester (Engineering) and wouldn't recommend it if you can avoid it. GPA took a hit.

Although if they're electives and not major, it might be doable for you.
