  2. One of my roommates thinks that the other backed into his car and cause him a fender bender. The second roommate denies doing so and after a day we wake up to the defending roommate's front windshield and hood smashed by a tire iron..

      Not really a choice, since the reason I live here is that I act as landlord for my parents and if the third room isn't paid for by someone else I get a nice raise in how I pay.

  3. I hate my university's online system. I'm trying to go from Cal 2 to Cal 1 -note that I must take a math class to stay in engineering-, however, the system says I can't do that swap because I must have a math class... I'm going from one math to another....

      There was over 1,000 job offers for roughly 120 EE graduates last year at my University. I'm not worried about a job.

      And the frame is probably the best grounding point.

      I'm also not going to contribute to the super bugs developing from constant use of hand sanitizes and antibiotic hand soap.

      It's not about not being clean, I'm a clean person as well but when on the job with no time to stop you gotta do what you gotta do.

      I would literally put in 14+ hour days with no breaks gotta eat to do so.

      also on a job site there isn't usually a place to clean up at.

      Has nothing to do with being a dirty person.

      I don't use antibiotic hand soap either the stuff actually is damaging to your dna.

      you'll be fine. I had all 4 done at once and only had 1 shot of Novocain per tooth (half a syringe each side for each tooth) and I heard them crack the tooth and pull it out whole. It was cool! Just be ready to drool on yourself from all that novocain. lol

      Make sure knocked out and basically starve yourself for 2-3 days after. I had mine taken out, no problems. But, then got a dry socket and oh my god. That was pain beyond belief.

      Looks like the basic same thing, isolaters aren't too hard to make, but might try and find a review on it.

      I would really like to to my EE degree, but do I wanna go into nuclear power? Prrooooobaably not, haha. It used to be a great place before 9/11, but now it's locked up like Fort Knox. I'm still surprised I get to go as far as I do.

      I worked at a nuclear plant during summers when I was in college. I worked in maint one year and tried desperately to get into containment during the outage, but never did. Nuke plants are cool!

  16. Just had someone try to tell me the Arkansas Nuclear Plant was the worst rated safety wise out of the hundred plants in the US. I facepalmed at that, because there are only 61. It's hard to believe the ignorance some people.

      Waves move in a direction. Our ears can pick up on that. Sound coming from the left will be slightly louder in your left ear

    3. Krakin

      Krakin

      The answer to my query is, while each of two different systems of waves simultaneously attempts to impress its own shape upon it, we are able to suppose in the above sense that the two systems coexist and are superimposed, by considering the actual elevations and depressions of the surface to be suitably separated into two parts, each of which belongs to one of the systems alone. It is true that two different degrees of density, produced by two different systems of waves cannot coexist in the...

      same place at the same time; the condensations and rarefactions of the air can be added, exactly as the elevations and depressions of the surface of the water.

      I always ask for a budget before I give them any advice. That and tell them for every watt your system is, it'll be about a dollar in cost

    3. Krakin

      Well I did that, I literally picked out everything he needed and then he just went with other stuff that cost the same. And was so lazy he made his dad spend the whole day installing it.

  21. Fun acoustic lesson, hold your hands perpendicular to you head in front of your ears (like blocking your mouth from your ears) and talk. What you'll hear is the sound of your voice as others hear it. What you will be doing is blocking the stream of bass that arrives to your ears before the rest.

      My gas cap is below my trunk all the way in the back, so I have to pull WAY forward to be able to reach it and I always try to take the further pump so somebody can use the other one, but sometimes I feel like an ass because I take up both spaces and it takes a long ass time to fill 21 gallons......

      It pisses me off when some jerk takes the closer pump, instead of pulling up to the further one that isn't being used.

      I may be switching over to team green, but AMD still impresses me with developing new technologies. HMB is cool and DX12 took a lot of stuff from Mantel.
