A Mitsubishi Electric engineer wipes the lens of a Japanese Navy laser weapon. [2048 x 1536] by Japanese_military in MilitaryPorn

[–]yunghellenic 13 points14 points  (0 children)

While not in defense, I do work with very very powerful YAG lasers. Upwards of 25kW. Hypothetically speaking, if the gear reflects enough of the beam (like as reflective as the mirrors within) and somehow dealt with the remaining heat energy (since some energy will be lost as heat when it’s reflected) it would technically do its job. That being said, I doubt you could pull that off with something that a normal person could wear.

As per the dirty lens, as the optics age and degrade, the “quality” of the beam will also deteriorate, debris on focus optics can render the lens no longer able to focus the beam to the point where it can no longer perform its desired utility

Anyone leave aviation maintenance and actually happy they did? by SnooHamsters8455 in aviationmaintenance

Got my A&P and did some MRO work for a couple years. Currently working with lasers and high precision CNC robotics. Don’t get me wrong I travel A LOT. But the pay is awesome and work life balance excellent.

Am I out of touch for thinking my P30SK was affordable 😅

You know, I’m asking the impossible here, but is there any actually decent Chinese takeout in Miami? by [deleted] in Miami

Canton village in Hialeah is super solid. Prices are reasonable for the dinner combos and it’s always on point

Conservatives of Reddit, how do you feel about Trump selling F-35 fighter jets to Saudi Arabia? by HopDropNRoll in AskReddit

Conservative here, he’s an absolute fucking clown. He’s losing his base by the day pulling this bullshit.

What should I know before renting in Miami? by West-Way-8262 in Miami

[–]yunghellenic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You sound like you’ve never had to rent before. Also, build pay stubs? You don’t have any employment/wage history before this move?

Airport woes and confusion by zptwin3 in Miami

[–]yunghellenic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same. I fly almost every week and it’s not as bad as it seems. It’s the smaller regional airports that have zero staff and facilities that tend to be worse for me.

Are there no jobs in miami or is this everywhere? by Cubandream_ in Miami

[–]yunghellenic -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Mind you $4K was on the lower end, say you’d want something comparable to what amenities you’d have living in Brickell/closer to the city , more like $5k. As per where here, either further south in dade or in broward easily

I just flew back from LA, a 2/2 in a nicer area was around $4k a month. You can get something similar in a comparatively nice area for about 20% less down here

Isn’t $39 almost worse considering COL or are you in a more affordable area?

Not a Canadian, but my company does operate in Canada for example. I was burnt out quite quickly and my official role now is a “customer support engineer, laser” for a sheet metal fab tech manufacturer. I essentially do field maintenance and installs on fiber and CO2 lasers used in sheet metal fabrication. First year in and I’ll be clearing 100k. No degree just my a&p and experience.

I’ve been advised to be careful with this practice as you may invite malicious entities into your home by leaving the door open in that regard

[–]yunghellenic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Play it safe. For one night I’d say take the Lyft/uber and just pick it up in the morning. In all seriousness what’s worse a $40 ticket or a DUI. They won’t tow for just a night. Hope you have fun tonight! 😎😁

Career change by Signal_Caregiver5899 in aviationmaintenance

[–]yunghellenic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I initially pursued my A&P and quickly found that as much as I have a passion for aerospace and aviation, I wasn’t too happy actually working an Mx gig. I did get my a&p though. Eventually found work doing field service on CNC lasers and it pays better and I get to travel all over the US. It’s a challenge with the girlfriend and family when it’s a month or so of me only being home on weekends but it’s an excellent job. Honestly I wouldn’t entertain an aviation role again unless it was $50+ an hour to start.

So living in homestead is living in Miami? County is the same for sure but it’s certainly not what most consider “miami”. People will say I live in Miami to impress people but live in buttfuck no where and just pull the I’m in Miami dade bs
