this loving principles of EE class has some of the most bass-ackwards circuit analysis i have ever heard of in my life poo poo like an indicated current direction with a loving negative value and i'm about to take an exam for it i can analyze REAL circuits all day long but this poo poo with hosed up arrangements just for the sake of "CHALLENGING YOUR ABILITY" is pissing me off something awful fuckin' college man

whats hosed up is i only need this class as a prerequisite for vibrations and controls. and i'm not actually learning anything that I didn't already know from physics 2, my automotive electrical classes, and said hands-on experience everything we've learned these first six weeks can be summed up as "circuit reduction", i'm talking basic loving resistor circuits with voltage and current sources it's a gently caress-you version of physics 2, just like dynamics is gently caress-you physics 1 and mechanics is just statics with added flavor. God I hope thermodynamics is interesting next semester.

basically i'm loving pissed off pissed off that i can't go back and time andwhip loving teenage dipshit me onto a path that might actually benefit me or at least get "him" to stop hanging out with dipshits who get you into drugs, mooch off you, then literally beat you down when you try and stand up for yourself i have made so many bad decisions in life that where others look back fondly on their childhood/early adult years, all i see is whit hot blinding rage at would could have been, what i HAD HANDED TO ME and threw the gently caress away like a piece of poo poo who deserves to be burned alive for wasting his loving potential i regret literally everything i've ever done in my entire life and making any different choice would have been an improvement give me time travel so i can fix my loving life cause i'm pretty sure it's too late now

haha i wish i was that good, as close as i come is clipping the apex on highway offramps i drive a loving MSP and its never even been to an autocross because i am that much of a loving poser look at me i mostly post on a loving car forum and my sum total racing experience drag strip included could probably fit in a 10 minute youtube video also re hard work maybe its just the poo poo jobs ive worked but in my experience working hard just makes you the go-to shop bitch that the managers take advantage of and threaten your job if you try and talk back oh well who care's i'm 6'5" 350 lbs i'll probably be dead of heart failure before i graduate anyway (i tried working out for a few years, never felt any better about myself and ended up ragequitting when i failed a lift real bad one day)

the worst thing about my whole mechanic poo poo is unlike other lines of work, i can't even get a part-time job on the side to tide me over while i'm in school. any place that's actually good wants m-f 9-5 availability, and even the bottom end of the scale (sears) wasn't much better; if you didnt have full open availability you're working part time (but mostly 30+ hours a week except eveyr month or so you'd get a shift to keep your 8week average below 30. so you basically have to work fulltime for parttime benefits. and im sure all the other chain shops are like that. having 12 credit hours and the extracurricular stuff im doing (shooting off loving model rockets wooooooooow) prety much doesnt let me work a part time job that utilizes skills i have. meaning those ~4 years were a waste and are doing me no good now. and the only jobs really open to me are retail/foodservice jobs. you look at how i act and how i talk on here and tell me if i'm loving capable of doing a job like that nowadays. (hint: no) meanwhile my younger sisters gradueated 2-3 years ago and are both moving int oapartments with steady jobs and poo poo why am i such a loving failure sorry for making GBS threads up the chat thread everybody i have nowhere else to vent seeing as if i try and talk to my mom she ends up making me apologize for upsetting her, and my dad/s just a loving old school baby boomer "put your head down and work through it, don't let a completely nonfunctional brain stop you from succeeding just like i did [nevermind i never held a job more than 5 years until i was in my 50s, do as i say not as i do] and just walk into places and demand they give you a job" etc etc anyway, happy halloween everybody!

Sorry to hear about your stepdad, Rhyno.  So the solidworks seminar people are doing a little-mini competition. We modeled a little boat hull in class, and now we can add whatever we want to it, turn it into a yacht or whatever. I'm leaning towards doing something like this for comedy reasons. That or a space galleon.

So my new SSD got here, turns out you need a special cable to migrate data over on single-drive laptops... and the SSD didn't come with said cable.  On a scale of 1 to electrical fire how bad an idea is it to plug the laptop's original HDD and the SSD into 2 of my desktop's many, many empty drive bays and do the migration that way?

So my desktop decided not to play nice with the laptop hard drive; had to boot from the desktop HD and download a cloning utility to transfer the laptop drive to the SSD. That said, all is well; this sumbitch now boots from cold to the login screen in 15 seconds flat, and Solidworks loads in just 8 seconds. Doubling the RAM to 16GB probably doesn't hurt, either. E: Also, the computer is now eerily quiet. Gonna have to run some poo poo in the background just to kick the fan on, it's almost unnerving.

kastein posted:Also I had a rough couple years from 2012-2014 but have mostly pulled out of it. realtalk i aspire to be making a post like this 5 years from now once i'm done with school and working a real job for the first time in my life (sears & dishwashing jobs don't count even though they took up 5 years of my life) i'm really sick of being the guy who always complains about being broke and relying on his mom for literally everything and it frustrates me to no end that at 27 i still can't say i support myself. despite my meltdown last week i realize i'm making progress and have been since i quit smoking pot and hanging out with dipshits in 2008, but when I realize i'm still living in the same house and still having mommy pay all my bills despite all i've done it's really loving hard to keep all that in perspective when it amounts to jack and poo poo in my day-to-day life. basically good on you and everyone else here who's got their poo poo somewhat together and is making poo poo work, you're an inspiration to people like me who aren't as far along to where they want to be.

Geoj posted:and a bachelor's plus a few years experience for entry level. this is the poo poo that pisses me off, it literally means "you better work internships because lol we aint paying youwithout experience", which means only those who can afford to work full time for free end up in the positions, which usually means not poor people (i mean really poor, like the entire family), which reduces social mobility i mean it's better in the engineering field where most internships are paid, but that just means it's more competitive to get in. and if you aren't able to get internships you're basically screwed, like my buddy who just graduated with no work experience and a low GPA. on the job training? not in this loving century.

I'm at a point now where it's really hard to get a technical job like that just on account of college class hours (and having to leave time for homework/studying), just about everything like that around here is "experience required, must have own tools to start immediately, must be available m-f 9-5".

I'm definitely gonna be looking for engineering internships, especially over the summers. A lot of the coops and some internships do require you be full-time as a student (12 credit hours), though, and then it's like 20 hrs a week working on top of that; i don't know if I can handle that sort of workload, I'm edging by in school as is. Plus after this semester, just due to the various prerequisite and the flow of coursework, it'll be hard for me to meet 12 credit-hours unless I take a buttload of electives and possibly even non-degree-relevant courses just to pad it out. I'll find something, just... i need to get it in my head that it's not the deepest part of the recession like when I last looked for co-ops and I might actually be able to finish asking the question before they say "no".

some texas redneck posted:Look at it this way, you have a training partner for marathons! At least until he's grown up a bit. Our dog used to do that a lot, when she wasn't bolting under the fence. If I ever get a dog of my own as an adult it's gonna have A) a concrete foundation under the backyard fence and B) a full-body harness for leashing (which I believe are more comfortable for them anyway as they distribute the load more.)

meatpimp posted:Most stereotypes about Audis are true. Great cars if you have the time, skill and space to work on them yourself. Twin turbo cars are notorious for oil feed problems, which necessitate engine removal or subframe drop. V8 cars sound absolutely awesome, but are prone to timing chain issues. Solution? Remove motor. which would be fine if they lasted hundreds of thousands of miles like old school non-tensioner setups, but those guides wear out at like 60k. so gently caress all of that.

man since i pulled the AFC off a few weeks ago i think ive pretty much given up on ever making my car fast it's a solid chassis but making any cost-effective power gains requires so much up front investment id be better off just selling it and buying anything with driver rear wheels gently caress man. im attached to this car but i also want racecar. not that it matters im like 3 years out from doing anything regardless

I won't start the debate as those who know me on facebook probably know my stance but regardless of your opinion I hope you agree that the "resisting government tyranny" argument for unlimited gun ownership has been laughable for about 100 years (I'm counting from when tanks and warplanes came into play; ships are nasty but at least you can go inland from those).

mafoose posted:How terrible of an idea is something like this? Well the engine is unique, but wiki says trans is a GM THM400 so parts should be pretty common for that. Also says hydraulics (brakes/rear leveling suspension) are from Citroen, which may be a bit harder to find parts for in the states, and no idea if there's any actual parts commonality regardless. I'd save up at least double that before buying just to cover maintenance expenses. That said, if you can swing it, that would be one stylish as hell ride.
