So glad I don’t use Reddit

 

Switch to credit unions

That’s a big one for the engineering world. Sounds like still has to be approved by FTC in US.

The software being sold off seems like all optics:

Synopsys had already reached an agreement to sell its Optical Solutions Group to Keysight, but now it will also sell its optics and photonics software such as Code VLightToolsLucidShapeRSoft, and ImSym. Ansys will also divest PowerArtist, software that can analyze and optimize the power consumption of electronic circuits at a very granular level.

I’m an engineer for past 20 years ,and the moment I get a whiff of some biz person fluffing bullshit I check out. Not saying you’re like that but something to be mindful of

So be real, honest, straightforward, put in effort into understanding the technicals so youre not just a sales annoyance or engineers will write you off right away IMO

Also I don’t think some people realize how busy or hard engineering can be. I’ve been working my ass off on a ground up new product and a lot of stuff just falls to the wayside out of lack of time

There’s also !askelectronics@discuss.tchncs.de !engineering@sh.itjust.works among others

Upheaval and overthrowing them is necessary

I was talking w/ a friend at a party and a wasp flies between us and he just grabs it out of the air and pops it straight into his mouth. Like ten seconds later (me just shocked pikachu face) he just spits it out and it falls until it’s about to hit the ground. Wings finally dry enough just in time and it pulls up and zips away.

I don’t understand why you have to pay to use the toilet but healthcare and education are free. Seems like toilet should be, especially with its impacts on public health. I also felt the same about having to buy water everywhere in Germany. Just doesn’t seem logical

It doesn’t have enough sharp edges, overhangs, etc that make the benchy useful to tuning and evaluating a 3D printer

Indian American comedy that I just randomly watched on a friends pine acct and loved. Very good style and camera work that I found reminded me of Wes Anderson / Guy Richie but more indie. Set in Indian neighborhood of LA. Complete with a heist with hilarious disguises and a trying to win her back love story that’s all about the crew you make along the way. Written and produced by Ravi Kapoor.
