  • How do you live a busy life with ADHD?

    跳过

  • I definitely will, I've still got 2 years left so there plenty of time to switch majors if I want to.

  • Yea, keeping track of dues dates has been a big struggle. I try to use the calendar app on my phone to set a reminder for pretty much everything. My classes are all MWF so it designate Tues, Thurs, and Sat as dedicated homework days before I leave for work. I was torn between mechanical and electrical, I did mechanical because its where my strengths lie, but I'm still tempted to switch just because I want to learn more about electrical.

    跳过

  • I'm 36 and doing the same thing as you right now, fulltime job and full time school for mechanical engineering. Its tough but I just try to keep grinding. I don't look too far into the future otherwise it starts to feel overwhelming, I try to plan for getting through the next week before worrying about the next. I also take frequent breaks when studying, if I start to feel molasses brained ( I feel like mine starts overheating like an old car lkl) I find a stopping point and do something mindless for a little bit before diving back in. I did switch to ER adderal and found that helped me have a longer runtime between breaks. Keep at it though, you can do it and when you do, it will be all the sweeter.

  • “THIS IS WAR”: Some right-wing figures call for retribution following Kirk killing

    跳过

  • 200 yards is anything but masterful, with even a low-end scope its an easy shot if you've spent more than a day or two practicing at a range. The armys qualifying target is a human silhouette set at 300 yards and they are using open iron sights with no magnification or aid whatsoever.

  • Repairability question (clothes washer)

    跳过

  • I used to work as an appliance repair woman. It's totally doable for the average person. The only specialty tool you may need is a very large pair of snapring/spring pliers. The gasket that seals the front of the machine to the drum uses a large wire loop connected with a 2-3" long spring on the ends to secure it. If the drum is not spinning smoothly then either the spindle bearings have failed or the spider/flange that attaches the drum to the spindle has broken. Either one are fairly simple to replace. What model washing machine do you have?

  • US Army Secretary forces West Point to rescind appointment given to Jen Easterly

    跳过

  • Fritz? Are you implying I'm a fascist because I have sense enough to know that not every single military member is an imperialist?

  • US Army Secretary forces West Point to rescind appointment given to Jen Easterly

    跳过

  • Yea I saw that she served during the war in a cryptology service group as a code breaker, not exactly evil stuff. What I was asking for were any examples of some wrong doing she has been accused of, ya know, something more than just your vibe check. BTW, calling everyone who serves in the army an "imperial officer" makes you sound like a moron.

  • US Army Secretary forces West Point to rescind appointment given to Jen Easterly

    跳过

  • Why is she a ghoul? Like what did she do? I looked at her wikipedia and didn't see anything that stood out to me. Idk anything about her past that though.

  • Question for the mechanics of Lemmy; what is the most likely problem?

    跳过

  • Take both the battery terminals off, if there are crusty white or blue gunk on them you can use a little vinegar to clean it off. Clean the contacting parts of both terminals and where they connect to the battery with a wire brush till the metal looks at least vaguely shiny. Put the terminals back on and tighten them down with a wrench, if its an american car its usually a 1/2" if its an import its almost certainly a 10mm. If it doesn't work after that try jumping it again, if it still doesn't work its probably the starter or starter solenoid. You can try tapping on the starter solenoid with a hammer to unstick it as a temporary fix to get you going, but if you have to do that then it needs replaced sooner rather than later anyways.

  • Aluminum plant catches fire and takes down the roof in half a minute

    跳过

  • Very true, I've machined titanium before and a titanium fire is not fun. Its a lot more flammable than aluminum as you can ignite larger chips and ribbons of titanium.

    Edit for: words are hard

  • Aluminum plant catches fire and takes down the roof in half a minute

    跳过

  • It's not oil, its molten aluminum judging from how bright and white the flame is and the fact that the machine is an aluminum bar extruder. People don't generally realize how insanely flammable aluminum can be when it is reduced to a fine enough powder. Powdered aluminum mixed with an oxidizer is what makes fire crackers go bang. It's also one of the two main ingredient in thermite.

  • Tesla’s phantom braking nightmare: lawsuits surge as drivers lose trust in Autopilot

    跳过

  • Yup, its a terrible design. Every other automaker uses some form of lidar with the cameras, but elon says "HuMaNs DrIvE wItH jUsT eYeS". So we get this bullshit.

    Edit: spelling

  • Tesla’s phantom braking nightmare: lawsuits surge as drivers lose trust in Autopilot

    跳过

  • Part of the problem with teslas is they will sometimes do the phantom braking even when not on autopilot. My gf has a model 3 we bought back before F-Elon went full mask off, and there's a certain road we occasionally drive where the car will just slam on the brakes for no reason wherever another road joins the main one. We both refuse to use autopilot but it still does it with even normal cruise control active and sometimes even under full manual control. Its a serious problem. We'd replace the stupid thing if we could afford it but its devalued so much that its more affordable to just keep it.
