And probably won't ever, because Trump doesn't like people who "lose".

He changed his mind after dollar signs and power showed up

 

Potentially big changes are coming to ODOT's funding model in the next few years. There are holes that the state can't patch.

Electromechanical with certs, good with tech? You gotta get away from "technician" roles if you want to stop being shit on.

Seems like industrial automation would be up your alley. A lot better chances to find a decent salaried position as an engineer fitting your title where you won't be abused. Tons of room to stretch technically and career-wide, good application of mechanical/dynamics and required electrical along with digital computer controls.
However, downside is you'll likely end up in a manufacturing role, where on-call work when a production line is down will be mandatory. And it's not exactly clean energy, if anything manufacturing will always be a polluter.

The drive to forums makes most people just "Google it" for a step by step solution.

Also, most digital projects, and definitely most manufactured products, no longer provide any kind of user servicability. E.g, Factory service manuals are impossible to find for any automobile later than like 2006, they are all now obfuscated behind dealership database tools and subscriptions such that the information is never made publically available. And aftermarket manuals are flaky and incomplete at best, downright misleading and dangerous at worst. This basically applies to almost every consumer electronic, appliance, and frankly almost all digital software now too- real, detailed technical manuals just... aren't there. Because whoever is producing them makes more pure profit on selling service than the product.

Can't tell anyone to RTFM when there is no manual to read because the profit seeking corporation would rather you pay their dealer network $600 a visit to do basic simple things. When there is no manual, the only way left to learn about anything is either to start bodging it yourself until you figure it out (which most people are not capable of doing, or will destroy their property in the process), or rely on the forum posts of random people online who do have personal or professional experience with the things they're trying to fix.

The process goes district court -> appeals court -> Supreme Court. Cannon is a district (trial) Court judge; if Smith chooses to appeal the dismissal (which he will because her dismissal reasoning is dogshit) it will go to the 11th Circuit in Atlanta. After the appeals court rules on the procedure used in the trial court (with NO NEW ARGUEMENTS!), then either party could choose to make a final appeal to the Supreme court- and we all know what they will rule on. However the Supreme Court is not obligated to take on cases referred from an appellate court. And nowhere in this process can they refer to a new trial judge.

It'd be really unfortunate if my old beater car with a literal train air horn strapped to the roof happened to pull up next to them and them have the air valve get stuck open. It's really be bad. Just so terrible, awful, and definitely not intentional whatsoever.

was he "killed", or did the butterfly effect simply wipe him from existence after he accomplished his task?

What interface are you connecting to your monitor over? Has that changed at all?

We've been so far past the point of sanity (in regards to their actions specifically) for YEARS that while I would not condone it- I wouldn't be losing any sleep if they had succeeded.

I’m getting multiple reports that some people can’t see it for some reason. Could be Federation, could be they blocked the user who posted it.

checks username

It's the second option and for good reason.

even as good as they've gotten, arc drivers are still super jank

when in doubt, I try running DDU, reinstalling it from fresh. always a chance something breaks during in-place driver upgrades.

 

Sorely needed.

100% chance that they'll still need to toll traffic to cover the remaining few billion in costs but it is a good step forward.

 

Context: when creating drawings from parts/assemblies, you can use a foreshortening break on any derived views (section, detail, projected). However, by default, inventor will propagate that break to the parent base view... which usually completely blows up a different sheet in the document that I don't even realize -_-

Not once have I EVER wanted to propagate a break in a derived view to the parent base view...

 
 

Get fucked, intuit!

 
 
 

The collapse of the state Republican Party continues.

 

I'm in the market for a new monitor. My 32" LCD is nice but now I have some spending money and really want to move up to an OLED display, as they seem to be maturing nicely and can give me an amazing bump in refresh rate.

Many OLED displays are curved, of course. All ultrawides are, some severely so (800r!!!)
I've always shied away from curved monitors because I feel like it could distort the appearance of some solid/2d geometry vs a flat panel. (I'm also not crazy about the desk space they occupy either, but I can work around that).

Do any of you use CAD packages (solidworks, inventor, autocad) on curved monitors, and if so how well does it appear? My target would be a 34" or 42" 4k display.

 

It was nice knowing Raspberry Pi while they lasted. Going to suck losing something that has changed the homegrown embedded system hobby forever.
