It’s like playing Zomboid, but you don’t actually have to break into the house to put your clothes in the oven and turn it on.

they’re using the Wi-fi radiation to cook your meals

You’re thinking of microwaves.

Dear God…

For some crazy reason it took 3 days to perform a successful password change on my home WiFi network. Most of that time was spent trying to figure out why the hell Blink wouldn’t jump to the new network. Turns out Blink doesn’t like numbers in the SSID based on my fix.

Got a part change request from the mold maker that looked really simple until I remembered how I built the part in CAD. Thought it would take days to fix. Change one number in the very first feature in the tree, redefine the only plane that broke, and somehow it just works^TM. It was like 10 minutes worth of work. It will probably take me twice that time to show the product manager to get him to sign off on the visual change it causes. And I probably have 15 minutes of fixing drawings.

I have done nothing but ship plastic for 3 hours.

I am a design engineer.

On the other hand, the fact that I have that much shit ready to go out for safety testing is kind of satisfying.

Nah, it’s either a skill issue, or your tape measure isn’t nearly chonky enough.

The screen is required for the FMVSS standard mandating rear view cameras. The jump in part price from that to touch is less than the amount saved by not having to tool up all the knobs and buttons, paying someone to run wires for all of them, paying someone to assemble all of the fiddly bits, and paying someone to install them in addition to the cost of already installing the screen that would eliminate all the other cost if it were the only input.

I was going to say, make the AI responsible for its own nuclear power generation and maintenance and see what happens. Maybe simulate the power plant though.

Well shit, I think I just found either my birthday present or anniversary present for my wife. Depends on when exactly it shows up.

Why do the worst games produce the most amazing reviews?

If they are like the trollies I briefly got to get some insight into (got to poke around in the CAD model for a bit and talk to some of the engineers working on it) they might have a small battery pack to carry them over intermitten gaps in grid power delivery. Kind of like a hybrid car battery.

Could the regeneration be putting out a higher current than what the batteries on the subway train can handle? Not very likely, but I guess that’s a possibility.

Or if the trains are running on an electrified rail and don’t actually carry much battery capacity themselves so regenerative braking fills that small battery and then dumps the rest back to the grid?

I don’t particularly feel that either of those situations are likely to be accurate, but I guess someone could have done something weird in the design.

Thank you for explaining it. I was trying to find Sadam Hussain.

Hmmm…

I thought red was automatic transmission fluid?

Some people say Skyrim has the best horses, but I say it’s Forestry Simulator 2017

I’m not sure I can handle $75,000 per year, do you think that 30 day free trial would be long enough to pull this plan off?
