    Changes to the iron ring ceremony

    I just read the man who would be king. I only knew Kipling's children's stories. I was in for a surprise. However, it is not the only work I have read from that time and I appreciate the perspective it gives me on how things have changed for the better.

    Software companies surprised they have to obey the law

    Link Apparently software companies in Canada are sad they have have accurate job titles and obey licensure laws. I agree with them that this a big problem in the US but the solution isn't for Canada to lower it's standards. Didn't Microsoft already give up on the silly MSCE tittle there?

    I16 bridge in eastern Georgia shifted after being hit by raised dump trailer

    The dump trailer was on another trailer for some reason. So lock out might not help. They tore it down to avoid a prolonged closure of a very busy road. Most of the traffic from the port goes under that bridge. I also wonder about how much momentum was required to move it that far. The truck...

    Are there true advantages in degrees from prestigious universities?

    This is why I do not understand the huge political push to reward incompetence by forgiving massive student loans. It just punishes the people who made better choices or worse worked harder.

    Potential problems with Retooling using CAD model converted from STEP to parametric

    If you are that worried about it just import the STEP file and modify it. If the changes are small enough to be made in the tool you don't need a fully parametric model. Just add the new material to the imported dumb solid. This will actually be a more accurate representation of the design...

    Are there true advantages in degrees from prestigious universities?

    Every response here was very good. A couple of points I have not seen. Many companies only recruit at a few colleges. Look at where the industry she wants to be in recruits. Personally I think participation in collegiate design competitions is overlooked. Some prestigious schools don't...

    Most famous PE this week

    If the secretary of state is a PE do they sign thier own license? https://sos.ga.gov/index.php/general/secretary_brad_raffensperger He has been getting an unusual amount of attention this year. More than once he has mentioned that as an engineer he knows how to handle numbers...

    Atlanta parking

    https://www.ajc.com/news/breaking-1-injured-after-midtown-parking-deck-collapses-again/VI5WBZNBAVC3ZCWXEQUJGU5HU4/ Sadly the crew who went back to inspect and stabilize the structure got hurt in a 2nd collapse. Hopefully they can make it safe without anyone else getting hurt.

    Can I have chances in large industry engineering?

    34 is young. People have to look for new jobs at all ages. If you haven't forgotten your engineering you will be fine.

    Working where everybody hates each other

    If there is not a functional change control process work with your boss to create and enforce one. It will appear to slow things down. However, all it really does is require the person requesting a change to put some thought into it and then for the change to be documented. It won't solve the...

    Has Eng-Tips buffed up your resume?

    It would be best listed as an interesting hobby and not an accomplishment. Unless you are one of the users picked out for the advisory board than it could be considered leadership or recognition. If you mentioned it as a resource you use during the interview that would make sense to me. That...

    Is there any advantage buying screws from McMasters vs from Home Depot and Amazon?

    Because I can find it in 5 minutes and have it reliably delivered the same day. Then if I need it again latter I get the same thing or at least the same quality. Sometimes it is important that they take P.O.s. They also have a better selection of stainless fasteners. Home Depot has a limited...

    Recommendations for 3D printer

    Formlabs is a better choice for a desktop SLA. The burned LCDs are a common problem with the hoby SLA printers. The modern SLA prints at nothing like the ones from the turn of the century. They are tough enough for usable parts. Formlabs even has a great elastomer resin.

    Distribution warehouse fire in Redlands, CA

    My guess is a large number of lithium batteries contributed to the fire and supression problems.

    How will the COVID-19 pandemic change the face of business...

    I enjoy the anachronisms in old science fiction and how the future is always predicted using the present. For example early Azmov tales have engineers designing robotic brains on slide rules. In the fifties the idea of using a calculator had not been thought of. The rest of the staff in my...

    Recommendations for 3D printer

    It was never clear if the machine was for work or home. Assuming work since this is a professional forum. Yes the prices are thousands instead of hundreds but any time saved with tweaking or deadline missed is worth it. I have supper happy with a Zortrax we bought 3 years ago. It is plug and...
