And back in the land of the driving.
Total install time would have been about 90 minutes, if I didn't spend 2 hours hunting a boost leak which turned out to be overlapping open valves...

Last night some jackass smashed the driver side rear-view mirror on my car  and ran off.

That sucks, but side-view mirrors are a relatively cheap and easy fix if you want to handle it yourself.  I clipped my passenger side earlier this year and fixed it for like $40 of parts and paint and a couple hours of time.

Pulled my hamstring pretty good last night playing soccer. Now anything remotely related to moving it causes some nice pain. 0/10 would not pull muscle again.

Re: The "Fuck my life" thread - Dr. Zaius - 09-17-2014

Worked a split shift yesterday while not feeling too well - not necessarily sick just not 100%, got off work at 9:30pm then went straight home and showered and spent a small amount of time with my girlfriend before driving 9 hours round trip to Fargo to take her to the airport there so she could fly to South Carolina for a week. Five minutes after I get home, water is coming down into the bathroom from the apartment above ours. I haven't slept in over 24 hours.

It's not really a huge fml but more like a series of mildly unfortunate events and I'm too sleep deprived to be all coherent and rational.

Re: The "Fuck my life" thread - copulatingduck - 09-19-2014

Speaking of water... the bottom fell out of the sky here in Houston. At one point, we got 4 inches in half an hour. Which wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have a cold. Which has made the move that much more of a pita. Also, ssd in desktop is doa. So I went to lookup warranty (only 2yrs old) and noticed its going for 70$/120.gb. so I doubled down on a stupid idea. On the brightside, my boss left work today without firing me, so I guess I'm doing something right.

Re: The "Fuck my life" thread - zaneyard - 09-22-2014

Holy fuck I just spent the last 3 hours working a statics problem about the moment about a given axis and I still haven't made any progress. So far in class all we've done are problems in 2 dimensions but this HW problem is in 3. I just do not get the cross product or whatever even though I've watched like 4 lectures on it tonight.

Re: The "Fuck my life" thread - Eightball - 09-23-2014

Not trying to 1up zaneyard but as it happens...

It's 1am and I'm on my 16th consecutive hour of studying, third day after 2 days of 12hr sessions. Maybe 200 diseases down, end not quite in sight yet. Probably going to post some of my thoughts on that later. Can't wait for boards.

Aaaaand migraine immediately when the exam started, almost certainly related to my 4hrs of sleep or the overcaffeination. Let this be a lesson to everyone that over cramming is counterproductive.

Obviously your caffeine blood content was low, you need to really balance those caffeine sugar levels too. Obviously you are not consuming enough caffeine on a regular balance to replace your blood with it. That's a problem.

[/quote]If you're only rotating about a single axis, then look at it from the 'top' (looking down the axis of rotation) and do it in 2d. Break it up into discrete chunks with different masses, if that makes it easier. Unless you're talking about force and not inertia, in which case you've gotta deal with cross products and vector analysis garbage which I don't remember because I only took the Civil Engineering version of Statics. Just remember: nearly every final answer in Statics is zero. If you don't get zero, your math is wrong or you're in the wrong class.

yeah it's the force version

I've never done anything with cross products or linear equations or anything so I was looking at it in the book wondering what the fuck it was. I got a little bit farther with the problem but I'm going to ask the teacher to go over it in class.

Re: The "Fuck my life" thread - at0m - 09-24-2014

Yeah, without Linear Algebra's black magic, it's a little tough to solve those kinds of problems. Was always a weak point for me, because I never understood how it worked, so I had to take that class three times and didn't retain much of it :/

I'm relatively certain if you're dealing with moments about a fixed axis, you only have to deal with the portion of the force vector that's tangent to the 'circle' around the axis of rotation. So if you know your trig you can math it that way, then there's standard formulas for the rest of it that depend on the straight line distance from the contact point to the axis of rotation. I think.

There are reasons I went into Electrical Engineering and not Mechanical Engineering. One of them is Statics & Dynamics, the other is Thermo. Gimme flux vectors over force vectors any day.

Re: The "Fuck my life" thread - zaneyard - 09-24-2014

yeah i'm not really sure why statics and dynamics are in the coursework for computer engineering. Literally nothing I would do would relate at all.
