Life is a best effort. Make sure the people whose back your scratching are returning the favor.

Don’t get caught holding the bag, in fact don’t even hold the bag.

Finally, if you like weird fashion, just go for it. Shiny black clothes can look great on you if that’s what you actually like.

I’m glad you posted it. Wherever, as long as I can read it. I appreciate the other person’s spirit too, but just glad for knowledge being shared.

I have 4mbps down, 3 up. But I only pay $10/mo.

Get experience in weird and uncommon areas of electrical engineering. The greybeard technicians, the almost bland engineer who gets put in charge of a critical project… there’s a lot of actual art to our techniques, hidden to all but those in the know. AI will never reveal these secrets as working with those guys and gals directly will.

Build projects, make a portfolio like a graphic designer might, talk is cheap but seeing is believing. Talk about your mistakes almost as much as successes, bit keep everything succinct.

😓

Cool. I do both high power electronics and structural engineering, a lot of my stuff lives in harsh environments and has to run for months without anyone around to check on it.

There’s a lot of cool work related to moving energy around without losing it as heat too. Most of that’s in the University labs right now, but some interesting stuff has already made its way into the real world too.

All to say, there’s electronics stuff you can do in an office, in a lab, or in the middle of forests. Whatever you pick won’t be a bad choice, you’ll evolve over the years to find the thing you’re both good at and actually like doing. Good luck to you!

Hello fellow electronics guy lol.

Depends on the type of engineering. What gets you interested? Amy projects you wish you could help with?

I’ve also used this very data to justify a raise.

Your ashamed mother, fuck you.

Cool stuff. I’m not a photographer but some of the effects in that community are really interesting.

Agreed, but (and I suppose this means Lemmy is smaller than I’d like) I’ve seen this dude posting similar “both sides”, “we’re doomed” etc etc etc shit.

Hope is always the last thing to die, but we’ve gotta be real and take action to fix things while it’s still relatively easy to.

Here’s that droopy defeatist again. Everyone else but sad-socks here: look past, and forward, we can succeed in making change!

Yes. A common prank I did for some of my… Looser-gripped teachers was turning the phone on the hook upside down.

Til about lkrg.

From one of the manufacturers: https://support.farberwarecookware.com/support/solutions/articles/65000168119-is-nonstick-cookware-harmful-to-my-pets-

Long story short, accidentally burning a PTFE coated pan will release chemicals that are bad for you and your pet. No matter how that manufacturer softballed the answer, it’s right there: the fumes of overheated plastic are harmful.

You weigh much more than your pet, so the time it takes for the resulting toxins to approach LD50 for a human are quite long.

Zipping a smaller, faster breathing pet’s blood levels up to fatal are unfortunately much easier, almost by an order of magnitude depending on the pet. That article references birds as most sensitive (see: canaries in coal mines), but dogs and such being close to the floor will also get a lot of exposure to the heavy gas particles.

Yes! I’ve tried all the others, ceramic included… nothing beats cared-for cast iron. Yes, you use more oil. Yes, you’ve gotta reseason it once every few years.

I always rolled my eyes at the cast iron zealots on Reddit, but with pets in the house, and cooking a lot, it just works.

I’m going to keep manufacture local to the west coast, but yeah, price deltas are almost extreme in comparison.

Cool, yet unfortunate.

Nice.
